Reliability of medical students' vaccination histories for immunisable diseases [PDF]

, 2008
Background Medical students come into contact with infectious diseases early on their career. Immunity against vaccine-preventable diseases is therefore vital for both medical students and the patients with whom they come into contact.

Updating Standard Procedures for Diagnosis and Treatment of Congenital Rubella Case

La Pediatria Medica e Chirurgica, 2013
Congenital Rubella is the dramatic consequence of rubella during gestation. A combined strategy of Measles and Rubella universal vaccination on children and selective vaccination of susceptible women has been shown effective in the elimination of ...

Reliability of CMV-IgG kinetics in the diagnosis of CMV primary infection: sensitivity, specificity, and clinical implications

Microbiology Spectrum
Diagnosis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) primary infection (PI) during pregnancy relies on serology (CMV-IgG, IgM, and IgG avidity). However, as for toxoplasmosis, subsequent serology testing 3–5 weeks later is often performed to confirm the diagnosis. In this

Measles, mumps, and rubella antibody patterns of persistence and rate of decline following the second dose of the MMR vaccine.

Vaccine, 2018
BACKGROUND Antibodies to measles, mumps, and rubella decline 3% per year on average, and have a high degree of individual variation. Yet, individual variations and differences across antigens are not well understood.

Atypical Clinical Course of Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 With Primarily Neurologic Presentation and Adult‐Onset in a 46‐Year‐Old Male

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 (GS2) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic mutations in the RAB27A gene. Typically, it is characterized by cutaneous hypopigmentation, immunodeficiency, with or without neurological abnormalities secondary to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Without treatment, GS2 often results in fatal

Benefits and Challenges in Using Seroprevalence Data to Inform Models for Measles and Rubella Elimination

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2018
We use simulations to highlight how (accounting for the dynamical context) high-quality measles and rubella serological surveys can be used to inform key control and elimination questions if the challenges of conducting, analyzing, and interpreting them ...

Essential embryology for the Canadian pathologists’ assistant

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Pathologists' assistants (PAs) are pivotal in healthcare, conducting autopsies and examining tissues under a pathologist's guidance. Embryology knowledge is crucial for PAs to accurately assess anomalies and identify pathologies. Yet, it is often overlooked in academic PA training programs.

Genomic tools for post-elimination measles molecular epidemiology using Canadian surveillance data from 2018–2020

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionMeasles is caused by the highly infectious measles virus, MeV, for which there is an effective vaccine. Monitoring of progress of measles elimination requires enhanced surveillance and tracking of MeV strains, including documenting the ...
