Abstract Introduction Timely diagnosis of HIV in children remains a challenge in all settings including low‐prevalence, high‐income countries (HIC). We aimed to characterize the prevalence of late diagnosis, and prior missed diagnostic opportunities among new presentations of paediatric HIV in HIC referred to an international Perinatal Virtual Clinic ...

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as

Stewardship of Molecular Diagnostics in Transplant Viral Infections
ABSTRACT The transplant environment requires special considerations when testing for viral infections as immunosuppression results in atypical infection profiles. Microbes otherwise considered commensals or causing mild disease can lead to severe infections in transplant environments. Therefore, guidelines tend to recommend broader microbial testing in
