Thrombotic Events and #Stroke in the Year After #COVID19 or Other Acute Respiratory #Infection

  Abstract Previous studies have documented an increased risk for thrombotic events 30 days after COVID-19 infection , but less is known about this risk beyond 30 days or compared with risk after other infectious acute respiratory illnesses (ARIs). By using PCORnet data from April 1, 2022–April 30, 2023 , we compared the incidences of thrombotic events in the year after COVID-19 illness with other ARI diagnoses in hospitalized and nonhospitalized patients. Overall, the risk for any thrombotic event was higher among patients with COVID-19 compared with patients with other ARIs (incidence ratio 1.63; p<0.05). Nonhospitalized patients with COVID-19 had a 73% increased risk for a thrombotic event in the year after acute illness compared with nonhospitalized patients with ARI (p<0.05). The increased risk for thrombotic events in the year after COVID-19 emphasizes the need for stroke awareness for patients and healthcare professionals. Source:  Link:  https://wwwnc.cdc.go...

#Genetic Diversity of the Non-Polio #Enteroviruses Detected in Samples of Patients with Aseptic #Meningitis in the #Ural Federal District and Western #Siberia

  Abstract Human non-polio enteroviruses (NPEVs) cause a plethora of infections in humans, ranging from mild to severe neurological diseases including aseptic meningitis . NPEVs are the leading cause of aseptic meningitis in both children and adults worldwide . In Russia , reports of NPEV infections have surged, especially in the post-COVID era starting in 2022, with elevated infection rates into 2023 . A comprehensive examination of the whole genome is crucial for understanding the evolution of NPEV genes and for predicting potential outbreaks. This study focused on identifying the circulating NPEV strains in the Ural Federal District and Western Siberia , using Sanger sequencing and next-generation sequencing (NGS) methodologies. Biological samples were collected from (n = 225) patients diagnosed with aseptic meningitis. Bioinformatics analysis targeted the nucleotide sequences of the major capsid protein (partial VP1) gene fragment, and the assembly of whole NPEV genomes. A tota...
