Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Triggered by Legionella pneumophila and SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection in GATA2 Deficiency

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Germline GATA2 deficiency predisposes to bone marrow failure, myeloid neoplasia, and immune dysregulation. The syndrome is often complicated by infection with intracellular pathogens and viruses, autoimmunity, and inflammation. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare occurrence that can present further management challenges.

Balancing Building Water Conservation and Microbial Water Quality

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Flow restrictors are widely used to improve water efficiency by limiting flow rates in faucets and showerheads. While these devices contribute to significant reductions in water consumption and associated energy costs, they may also pose unintended risks to microbial water quality. In healthcare and other high‐risk settings, reduced flow rates

Motorized DNAzymes Drive Enhanced Electrochemical Biosensing for Rapid Bacterial Detection

Small Methods, Volume 10, Issue 6, 24 March 2026.
The micromotor DNAzyme analyzer (Motolyzer) enables sensitive electrochemical detection of Legionella pneumophila proteins in unprocessed samples with high specificity. Upon target recognition, DNAzymes actively release redox barcodes, which are detected on DNA‐functionalized electrodes.
