Recommendations for enterovirus diagnostics and characterisation within and beyond Europe

Heli Harvala, +65 more
TL;DR: It is recommended that respiratory and stool samples in addition to cerebrospinal fluid and blood samples are submitted for EV testing from patients with suspected neurological infections and reverse transcriptase PCR targeting the 5'noncoding regions (5'NCR) should be used for diagnosis of EVs.
Journal ArticleDOI

CMV and Immunosenescence: from basics to clinics

TL;DR: Discussions focused on several main themes including the effects of CMV on adaptive immunity and immunosenescence, characterization ofCMV-specific T cells, impact of CMVs infection and ageing on innate immunity, and finally, most important, the clinical implications of immun Rosenescence and CMV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effectiveness of influenza vaccine in aging and older adults: comprehensive analysis of the evidence

TL;DR: How effective current influenza vaccine strategies are in the aging and older adult population is examined and which are the most important biases that interfere with measurements of influenza vaccine effectiveness are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunosenescence: Implications for vaccination programmes in adults

TL;DR: This review will first examine the evidence linking the contribution of immunosenescence to a less than optimal vaccine response in aged individuals in order to demonstrate that strategy of promoting vaccination in these populations is not sufficient to reduce the burden associated with VPDs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vaccine effectiveness in older individuals: what has been learned from the influenza-vaccine experience.

TL;DR: How effective current influenza-vaccine strategies are in aged adults is examined, by analysing which are the most important factors modulating the interpretation of study results in this population, and possible strategies to improve the ability of the senescent immune system to respond to vaccination are concluded.
