Mashup Score: 5Impact of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs on vaccine immunogenicity in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases - 3 year(s) ago
Patients with rheumatic diseases are at increased risk of infectious complications; vaccinations are a critical component of their care. Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs may reduce the immunogenicity of common vaccines. We will review here available data regarding the effect of these medications on influenza, pneumococcal, herpes zoster, SARS-CoV-2, hepatitis B, human papilloma virus and…

Mashup Score: 0Persistence of Streptococcus pneumoniae urinary antigen excretion after pneumococcal pneumonia - PubMed - 3 year(s) ago
The aim of this study was to determine the duration of Streptococcus pneumoniae antigen excretion in urine after pneumococcal pneumonia. Urinary antigen detection remained positive in nonconcentrated urine in 18 (52.9%) of the 34 patients in the first month after pneumonia diagnosis. In 12 of these …

So, it’s only 99.7% specific if you exclude people with recent infection, kids who are colonized, and recent vaccine recipients….meaning it’s NOT that sensitive nor is it 70% sensitive either. #sensitivity #specificity #bayes #streppneumo #pneumococcus https://t.co/nAXcCvJeIi

Mashup Score: 1Risk of pneumococcal bacteremia in Kenyan children with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency - 4 year(s) ago
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzyme deficiency state in humans. The clinical phenotype is variable and includes asymptomatic individuals, episodic hemolysis induced by oxidative stress, and chronic hemolysis. G6PD deficiency is common in malaria-endemic regions, an observation hypothesized to be due to balancing selection at the G6PD locus driven by…

Mashup Score: 0Fatal pneumococcus meningitis in a child with complement factor ficolin-3 deficiency - 4 year(s) ago
Several deficiencies in the complement system affecting the classical, alternative, and terminal pathways are known to contribute to increased risk of infections. Deficiency of mannose-binding lectin in the lectin pathway is a frequent finding that is regarded to be of less clinical importance if not combined with other immunodeficiencies.1 However, the lectin pathway involves 5 other recognition…
