Rapidly shifting immunologic landscape and severity of SARS-CoV-2 in the Omicron era in South Africa

Nature Communications, 2023
Emergence of the Omicron BA.1/2 SARS-CoV-2 subvariants led to a wave of infection South Africa. Here, the authors use serological data from a prospective household study to characterise infection rates in the context of diverse immune histories following

Efficacy of an abbreviated induction regimen of amphotericin B deoxycholate for cryptococcal meningoencephalitis: 3 days of therapy is equivalent to 14 days. [PDF]

, 2014
Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis is an urgent global health problem. Induction regimens using 14 days of amphotericin B deoxycholate (dAmB) are considered the standard of care but may not be suitable for resource-poor settings.

Pneumococcal Serotype Identification by Capsular Sequence Typing (CST): A Modified Novel Approach for Serotyping Directly in Clinical Samples

Diagnostics, 2021
As almost 60–70% of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease (IPD) is identified by nonculture methods in Greece, serotyping is of high importance for the better monitoring of pneumococcal serotypes due to the availability of conjugate vaccines.

Prolonged shedding of SARS-CoV-2 at high viral load amongst hospitalised immunocompromised persons living with HIV in South Africa

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
Purpose: There is limited information on SARS-CoV-2 shedding duration amongst persons living with HIV (PLWH). We hypothesised that PLWH shed SARS-CoV-2 for longer periods and at higher viral load than HIV-uninfected persons. Methods & Materials: From

Initial Experiences with Invasive Meningococcal Disease: Insights from Survivors and Their Caregivers

Infectious Diseases and Therapy
Introduction Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) has a low incidence but is a life-threatening illness with a 10–15% mortality rate. Even with timely treatment, survivors may experience acute and long-term health complications.
