Community-acquired and hospital-acquired respiratory tract infection and bloodstream infection in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia

open access: yesJournal of Intensive Care, 2021
Objectives SARS-CoV-2 may cause acute lung injury, and secondary infections are thus relevant complications in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. However, detailed information on community- and hospital-acquired infections among patients with COVID-19 ...

Identifying Infection Sources and Regions in Large Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Identifying the infection sources in a network, including the index cases that introduce a contagious disease into a population network, the servers that inject a computer virus into a computer network, or the individuals who started a rumor in a social network, plays a critical role in limiting the damage caused by the infection through timely ...

Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia at a referral medical center in Kenya: A retrospective review of cases from 2010 to 2018.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
BackgroundMany studies have shown that Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of both community onset and hospital onset bloodstream infections. However, relatively little is known about the occurrence and outcome of S. aureus bacteremia in sub-Saharan

The contact process with semi-infected state on the complete graph [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
In this paper we are concerned with the contact process with semi-infected state on the complete graph $C_n$ with $n$ vertices. In our model, each vertex is in one of three states that `healthy', `semi-infected' or `wholly-infected'. Only wholly-infected vertices can infect others. A healthy vertex becomes semi-infected when being infected while a semi-

A mathematical model for the within-host (re)infection dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and the immune system during infection are complex. However, understanding the within-host SARS-CoV-2 dynamics is of enormous importance, especially when it comes to assessing treatment options. Mathematical models have been developed to describe the within-host SARS-CoV-2 dynamics and to dissect the mechanisms ...

The Impact of Viral Infections in Children with Community-Acquired Pneumonia [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Infectious Disease Reports, 2013
For many years viral causes of community-acquired pneumonia were often been given limited attention. The number of published studies on influenza alone increased fivefold from 2001 to 2010. Specifically several studies have underlined that the involvement of viruses in community-acquired pneumonia has been underestimated, and this underestimation has ...

Classifying Latent Infection States in Complex Networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
Algorithms for identifying the infection states of nodes in a network are crucial for understanding and containing infections. Often, however, only a relatively small set of nodes have a known infection state. Moreover, the length of time that each node has been infected is also unknown.
