To our knowledge this is the first case report of an autochthonous infection with O. felineus in a cat in Austria. Cats are considered to be important reservoir hosts for human opisthorchiasis, particularly in areas with a high prevalence of infection [5]. While travel history and/or importation from endemic regions may be important risk factors … Read more
First hospitalization and diagnosis of NTM disease In June 2021, a 48-year-old female presented to our hospital with persistent cough for 1.5 year, accompanied by worsening chest tightness for a month. Her past medical history included chronic hepatitis B virus infection, and lumbar disc herniation. The patient denied a history of childhood pneumonia, measles, or tuberculosis. … Read more
Neonatal sepsis remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries [7, 8]. Due to the non-specific presentation of infection, early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis is challenging [9,10,11]. Blood cultures, though widely used, have limited sensitivity and require prolonged processing, which delays diagnosis [10]. While molecular diagnostic techniques offer … Read more

Lung abscess is usually caused by bacterial or mycobacterium infection, but aspergillus pulmonary abscess is rare [5]. Cough with sputum production is the typical presentation of lung abscess [6]. Radiographic findings indicate that the encapsulated abscess without connection between the cavity and the adjacent bronchi is not conducive to the pus discharge. Thus, no cough … Read more

The overall immunization rates of the 2nd month immunizations were not significantly reduced under the impact of the SoE in Benguela Province, Angola. Although previous reports have described a reduced coverage of childhood immunizations during the pandemic in low- and middle-income countries, such trends were not found in our cohort [2, 4, 7, 8].
