Background: Anaplasmosis is an emerging tick-borne infection that typically presents as a non-specific febrile illness, with variable degrees of cytopenias and liver tests abnormalities. Severe complications remain atypical and uncommon. Case Report:...
Background/Objectives: The trajectory of influenza hospitalization burden from pre-COVID-19 pandemic baseline through post-pandemic recovery remains poorly characterized at the national level. This study characterized phase-stratified burden and seas...
In 2025, tropical medicine was shaped by advances in diagnostic technology, expanding arboviral epidemics, rapid progress in filovirus vaccine development, evolving regulatory responses to newly licensed vaccines, and translational breakthroughs addr...
Over the past decade, outdoor recreational activities—including ecotourism, wildlife observation, adventure travel, and expedition cruising—have expanded at an unprecedented pace [...]
Background: Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a neurotropic alphaherpesvirus capable of causing a broad spectrum of neurologic complications beyond classic dermatomal herpes zoster. Although meningitis and encephalitis are well recognized manifestation...
Arboviral diseases are emerging as important public health threats in Saudi Arabia, driven by rapid urbanization, climate variability, the expansion of Aedes aegypti populations, international travel, and large-scale religious mass gatherings. Dengue...
Background: The diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) remains a clinical challenge, with urine culture as the gold standard. In developing countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina, a high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and frequent empirica...
Background: Dengue fever has emerged as a major public health concern in Bangladesh, with increasing incidence and geographic spread of outbreaks in recent years. This study aimed to investigate the lagged and non-linear associations between climatic...
Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a leading cause of nosocomial infections in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and prolonged hospitalization, particularly in preterm neo...
Background Granulomatous lung diseases include a spectrum of disorders, both infectious and noninfectious, unified by the presence of granulomas in the lung parenchyma. Granulomas are microscopic, organized collections of immune cells that arise as a...
Background: Dirofilaria spp. is an etiological agent of dirofilariasis, a mosquito-borne parasitic disease of increasing zoonotic concern in Europe. The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of Dirofilaria spp. in dogs from Southern Poland u...
Background: In March 2026, a meningococcal cluster centred on the University of Kent, England, caused two deaths and resulted in over 20 reported cases within the first week, including confirmed and suspected invasive cases. Subsequent UKHSA updates...
Background/Objectives: Long COVID-19 (LC-19), also known as Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS), is a chronic condition some people experience after an initial SARS-CoV-2 infection. The etiology of this complex, multifactorial disease remains largely...
Background: The impact of climate change on birds’ migration and ticks’ reservoir habits is contributing to the spread of Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), caused by CCHF virus (CCHFV), to new continents and countries. CCHF is...
Background: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rapidly progressive, life-threatening soft tissue infection characterized by fascial necrosis, with mortality rates of 20–30%. Despite its rarity, NF is increasingly encountered due to the rising prev...
Background: Climate change has contributed to the global resurgence of dengue, with a spike of more than 14.4 million dengue cases. This study aimed to analyze the association between dengue frequency with climatic factors, circulating serotypes, and...
Background: Superficial fungal infections caused by dermatophyte and non-dermatophyte species are increasing globally. While several comorbid diseases and risk factors have been associated with fungal infections at the individual level, their epidemi...
Background: Vaccinations prevent severe respiratory infections in older adults, yet uptake in Polish long-term care facilities (LTCFs) remains poorly characterized. We assessed influenza and pneumococcal vaccination coverage and factors associated wi...
Background/Objectives: The increasing burden of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms and limited resources in healthcare settings are making traditional strategies based on routine isolation of all carriers unsustainable. Methods: A clinical narr...
Background: Anti-MRSA agents are essential for treating severe infections, yet their use is constrained by distinct toxicity profiles. However, comparative real-world data remain scarce. Methods: This nationwide pharmacovigilance study used the Japan...
Background/Objectives: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a major nosocomial pathogen. Although newer agents have reduced colistin use in high-income countries, this polymyxin remains important in many low- and middle-income setting...
Background/Objectives: Fungal peritonitis is a severe complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) associated with catheter removal, technique failure, and increased mortality. Although Candida albicans was traditionally the predominant pathogen, non-alb...
Background/Objectives: Lyme disease is a tick-borne zoonosis caused by Borrelia burgdorferi that can affect multiple organ systems. Although cardiovascular involvement is considered uncommon, it may lead to severe and potentially life-threatening com...
