TL;DR: Brucellosis, previously thought to be only found in northern China, is now increasingly seen in highly cosmopolitan part of southern China and MALDI-TOF MS in hospitals in China should include reference spectra with standard Brucella strain to aid bacterial identification in routine clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jin Yang,Jieling Liu,Fanfan Xing,Haiyan Ye,Guijian Dai,Meiyuan Liu,Simon Kam Fai Lo,Ricky W. T. Lau,Kelvin Hei-Yeung Chiu,Jasper Fuk-Woo Chan,Kwok-Yung Yuen +10 more
TL;DR: The positive predictive value of self-reported varicella on seroprevalence rate in the study was lower than those reported in other countries, therefore serological testing of VZV antibodies with subsequent vaccination for all non-immune HCWs should be considered.
