#Tissue #tropism and functional #adaptation of the #SARS-CoV-2 #spike protein in a #fatal case of #COVID19

  ABSTRACT Systemic spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to extrapulmonary tissues has been observed following acute infections. Autopsy studies further indicate tissue-specific virus diversity, including in immune-privileged sites . Questions remain on the viral dynamics leading to the tissue tropism of SARS-CoV-2, including evolutionary trajectories and functional adaptations that could impact persistence and transmission . In this study, we characterized SARS-CoV-2 genomes from 27 distinct tissues collected from an autopsy case where the patient had a primary immune deficiency . We identified tissue-specific virus genotypes , in some instances coexisting within the same sites, with mutations primarily in the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein. Protein simulations and isolation of infectious virus indicate combinations of spike substitutions that would lead to increased protein stability and stronger binding of the virus to host cells. ...

Updated #Evidence for #Covid19, #RSV, and #Influenza #Vaccines for 2025–2026

  Abstract Background Changes in the vaccine advisory process in the United States have disrupted immunization guidance , which reinforces the need for independent evidence review to inform decisions regarding immunization for respiratory viruses during the 2025–2026 season. Methods We conducted a systematic review of U.S.-licensed immunizations against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and influenza . We searched databases on PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science for updates of the most recent review by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) Evidence-to-Recommendations for each disease, which was performed during the 2023–2024 period. Outcomes included vaccine efficacy and effectiveness against hospitalization, other clinical end points, and safety. Results Of 17,263 identified references, 511 studies met the inclusion criteria. Covid-19 mRNA vaccines against the XBB.1.5 subvariant had pooled vaccine effectiveness against...

#Clinical Characteristics of #Paediatric #RSV, #Influenza, and #SARS-CoV-2 Infections: Insights from Three Consecutive Seasons

  Abstract Background :  The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyse the clinical presentation of RSV, Influenza , and SARS-CoV-2 infections in children across three consecutive seasons (2022/2023; 2023/2024; and 2024/2025).  Methods :  Of the 321 hospitalised patients , 129 ( 36% ) tested positive for RSV , 110 ( 38% ) for Influenza , and 82 ( 26% ) for SARS-CoV-2 . Children were aged ≤ 17 years (median: 15 months). The data were statistically analysed using the χ2 test, multinomial multivariable logistic regression, OR (odds ratio), and 95% CI (confidence interval).  Results :  Significant independent predictors of RSV infection were auscultatory abnormalities (OR: 15.9 [1.49–169]) and hospital admission ≥ 4 days after symptom onset (OR: 32.5 [1.19–907]). Among RSV-positive patients , compared with those aged < 6 months , those aged 7–24 months were more likely to present with higher CRP levels (OR 1.06 [1.003–1.13]), reduced appetite (OR ...
