Journal ArticleDOI

First confirmed autochthonous case of human Babesia microti infection in Europe

TL;DR: A 42-year-old female patient with acute myeloid leukemia presented with fever and heavy chest pain after her first cycle of specific chemotherapy, and was diagnosed with Babesia microti infection, the first confirmed autochthonous human infection in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Multicenter Trial to Compare Blood Culture With Polymerase Chain Reaction in Severe Human Sepsis

TL;DR: In septic patients, concordance between BC and PCR is moderate, however, PCR-based pathogen detection correlated with disease severity even if the BC remained negative, suggesting that presence of microbial DNA in the bloodstream is a significant event.
Journal ArticleDOI

Culture independent Raman spectroscopic identification of urinary tract infection pathogens: a proof of principle study.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Raman microspectroscopy in combination with support vector machines allow an identification of important UTI bacteria within two hours without the need of a culture step.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of hepatitis E virus-specific antibodies in humans with occupational exposure to pigs.

TL;DR: An increased risk of HEV infection in humans occupationally exposed to pigs and particularly for slaughterers was demonstrated and one may assume a higher prevalence ofHEV-specific antibodies in humans with occupational exposure to pigs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of basic fibroblast growth factor and interleukin 6 by human smooth muscle cells following infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae.

TL;DR: It is suggested that chlamydial infection of smooth muscle cells elicits a cytokine response that may contribute to structural remodeling of the airway wall in chronic asthma and to fibrous plaque formation in atherosclerosis.
