Mucormycosis, for example, is an acute or sub acute rapidly progressing infections caused by the angioinvasive fungi in the order of Mucorales such as species of Rhizopus, Mucor, Rhizomucor, Syncephalastrum, Cunninghamella, Apophysomyces and Lichtheimia. This infection is characterized by vascular invasion by the fungal hyphae which leads to thrombosis and necrosis. To diagnose the suspicion of mucormycosis, an extensive analysis of the patient's history associated with physical and imaging examination is very important. Biopsy, culture in specific media and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of clinical specimens can be used to identify the fungus agent of mucormycosis. The widely accepted treatment of choice for mucormycosisis amphotericin B. In addition to early detection of the fungus, the correction of pre-existing pathologies (such as diabetes, immunosuppression and inflammation) is of great importance to ensure therapeutic success. Thus, given this scenario, it is imperative that clinicians should be sensitized to the increased risk of development of this fatal infection, especially while treating diabetic patients with COVID-19, using corticosteroids.","PeriodicalId":122812,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Microbiology and Research","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132595237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract Introduction: We compared the total, IgG and IgM spike antibodies (S-Ab) to neutralizing antibody (N-Ab) responses in seronegative subjects after the first and second doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Methods: sixty-five volunteers were tested pre-vaccination, 10 days after the first dose of vaccine, and 20 days after dose two (17 males, 48 females, mean age 41.5 ± 14.1-years). Total/IgG/IgM were assessed with Roche and Abbott immunoassays, with N-Ab using the Snibe Maglumi SARS-CoV-2 immunoassay. Results: Ten days after first vaccination, 64.6% (n = 42) and 66.2% (n = 43) were S-Ab (total and IgG) positive; however, only 13.8% (n = 9) and 10.8% (n = 7) were IgM and N-Ab positive. Younger patients (< 50-years-old) had significantly higher S-Ab responses after the first vaccine dose (difference between age groups: total 1.12 BAU/mL, 95% CI 0-3.69, p = 0.02; IgG 11.4 BAU/mL, 95% CI 2.72-37.1, p = 0.01; IgM COI 0.24, 95% CI 0.05-0.52, p = 0.01). 20 days after second vaccination, ALL participants had high antibodies - IgG (265-7764 BAU/mL), total (274-6127 BAU/mL) and N-Ab (0.51-15.7 ug/mL). In total, females displayed greater IgG (52.5 BAU/mL, 95% CI 2.47-912, p = 0.02) and N-Ab (0.1 ug/mL, 95% CI 0.01-1.26, p = 0.03) responses than males. Total and IgG displayed better correlation with N-Ab after vaccination than IgM (total and IgG Pearson correlation coefficient both r = 0.96, IgM r = 0.78). Conclusion: In seronegative subjects, S-Ab or N-Ab may not be reactive 10 days after a single dose of vaccine, especially males ≥ 50-years-old. However, all subjects had high total, IgG and N-Ab positive 20 days after 2 vaccinations.","PeriodicalId":122812,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Microbiology and Research","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115642848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After the People’s Republic of China, a large part of Northern Italy (the Lombardy and Veneto Regions) was the first area in Europe to be seriously affected by COVID-19, inducing the regional and central Governments to take a number of social-distancing measures to reduce the spread of the virus by adopting phase 1 of the lockdown. The pandemic has caused tens of thousands of deaths not only in the older population, but also among the doctors and health workers involved in the fight against the virus. An overview of past epidemic diffusion in Italy is reported, underlining the potential factors that could have contributed to such a large number of deaths among doctors (total 176) today, at Tzero for phase 3, September 14, 2020 with the Return of Children at school. Moreover, we make some proposals and suggestions to improve prevention for any up-surge in COVID-19, like the improve of bacterial filtration efficiency for materials designated in the production of medical-standard face-masks.","PeriodicalId":122812,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Microbiology and Research","volume":"02 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131202183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
