Article Abstract
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is a common problem in patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Severe HSV infections can cause pneumonia, encephalitis, meningitis and other lesions, thus requiring caution. Acyclovir is the drug of choice for the prevention of HSV infection. Acyclovir resistance caused refractory HSV infection which is a severe complication after allo-HSCT. Cidofovir may be effective for acyclovir-resistant patients; however, the efficacy of systemic cidofovir administration for acyclovir-resistant patients after allo-HSCT remains unknown. We describe a 67-year-old female patient with multiple ulcers and erosions of the periocular, perioral, and oral mucosa after haploidentical allo-HSCT. Poor results were observed after the treatment of acyclovir and foscarnet. In particular, an adverse effect of low potassium and renal damage has been observed with foscarnet. Genetic testing suggested an acyclovir-resistant herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) infection with T287M mutation of gene . The patient's infection was cured after intravenous treatment with cidofovir. Systemic administration of cidofovir may be useful for patients with acyclovir-resistant HSV1 infection after haploidentical allo-HSCT.

Objective: Hypothermia in young infants is often attributed to immature thermoregulation but may be the harbinger of significant pathology. We aimed to determine the prevalence and type of significant pathology in young infants aged 90 days or younger presenting with hypothermia (≤36.0 °C) and explore associations between this outcome and presenting characteristics and evaluation.

In 2022, cases of Monkeypox virus (MPXV) in California contained a mutation in the TNF receptor gene (GR2G) that rendered the virus undetectable using a widely adopted public health diagnostic qPCR assay. This underscored the need for a dual-target PCR approach and prompted validation of a second target by the BCCDC Public Health Laboratory. In addition to the GR2G target validated in the original qPCR assay (and duplexed with the endogenous target human β-globin (HBG)), GP113 (OPG128) was identified and validated using both clinical samples and MPXV DNA controls.

A naturally derived library of glycomimetic mimicking the structure-function of heparan sulfate (HS) remains an untapped reservoir for drug discovery against viral infections. In this work we screened a library of marine-derived sulfated glycans from seaweeds and sea cucumbers to investigate if they can compete for the ligand/receptor binding sites to prevent virus entry. Multiple promising candidates were identified, such as RPI-27 (IC: 1.

The high incidence and prevalence of herpes infections pose a significant health burden worldwide. Herpes simplex virus infections are the cause of herpes labialis, genital herpes or herpes keratitis and in rare cases life-threatening herpes encephalitis, meningitis or disseminated disease. After primary infection herpes simplex viruses (HSVes) establish latency in the trigeminal and sacral ganglia and at least 30% of patients experience clinically manifestant recurrences for life.

Purpose: To report a rare case of bilateral necrotising retinitis caused by a potentially novel human adenovirus D (HAdV-D) in a post-bone marrow transplant patient and to highlight the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic role of intravenous cidofovir, alongside a review of previously reported cases of human adenovirus (HAdV) retinitis.
Methods: Retrospective case report.
Results: A 60-year-old man with a history of acute myeloid leukaemia, in remission post-bone marrow transplant, presented with bilateral hypertensive granulomatous panuveitis and necrotising retinitis.
