We analysed baseline blood samples from 365 PLHIV participating in a trial investigating the effect of aspirin on IA, IE, and PA. We assessed levels of markers of monocyte activation (soluble CD14), platelet activation (soluble P-selectin), T-cell activation (CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ expressing CD69 and co-expressing CD38 and HLA-DR), and T-cell exhaustion (PD-1). The median (IQR) age of the participants was 37 (28, 45) years, with females comprising 64.7%. Advanced age significantly predicted IA and IE, but not PA. Markers of IA and IE, but not of PA, inversely correlated with CD4 counts, while directly with HIV viral load (HVL). We show that most Tanzanian PLHIV initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) have low CD4 count, high HVL, with a considerable proportion aged above 50 years, characteristics associated with heightened IA and IE. Adjunctive therapy, when available, should target such population and at ART initiation to prevent morbidity and mortality associated with persistent IA and IE.","PeriodicalId":14608,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of infectious diseases","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144753362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate the susceptibility and mortality of COVID-19 in patients with a history of TB. We retrospectively analyzed data from the National Health Insurance Service of Korea. We extracted individuals with TB from 2011 to 2019 and matched them with a population-based control group. The main outcomes were COVID-19 incidence and death within 30 days of infection. The study included 138,278 matched pairs of individuals with and without a history of TB. COVID-19 incidence was slightly lower in the TB group (38.0% vs. 38.4%, P-value = 0.023). Subgroup analysis showed significantly lower COVID-19 incidence in the pulmonary TB group compared to controls (P-value = 0.001). However, the mortality rate was higher in the TB group (0.9% vs. 0.7%, P-value < 0.001).

N-450 analysis revealed eight cases of genotype D8 and three of B3. Seven of the D8 cases were closely related to strains from Central Asia and Europe, harboring mutations in the primer binding region targeted by real-time PCR assays for measles virus. The remaining D8 case matched a strain from Thailand. All three B3 cases were identical to the strain detected in Vietnam in 2024. MF-NCR analysis of D8 cases revealed similar trends to those observed in the N-450 analysis. However, the B3 viruses from Vietnam differed by several bases from the closest related sequence and included a 6-base insertion. Given the resurgence of measles in Vietnam since 2024, the potential risk of continuous measles importation remains.

As PeVA3-M has only been reported from Japan, it is necessary to continue the above surveillance. In our surveillance from July 2022 to December 2023, we found 31 PeVA3 infections including three PeVA3-M and suspected cases using PCR and a virus isolation method. Further next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis was performed for the representative isolates and their original specimens between 2022 and 2023 as well as those between 2003 and 2019. The NGS analysis showed that 7,245~7,309 and 7,118~7,287 nucleotides (98.7~99.8% and 97.1~99.4% compared with the reference strains) were available from 25 representative isolates and from 6 clinical specimens, respectively. This study indicated that the recombinant PeVA3 strains, which appeared in 2019, remained in circulation in Yamagata between 2022 and 2023.

The SRID potency should not be affected when using another reference antigen calibrated with the same international antigen. However, the SRID potency of the test antigens can vary, although the causes of these discrepancies remain unclear. Here, we calibrated two candidate reference antigens (LotA and LotB) in the A(H3N2) subtype with various pairs of reference reagent sets (antigen and antiserum). The potencies of LotA and LotB varied depending on the reagent pair used, with a more pronounced effect in LotA (CV = 5.4% vs. 3.8%). To explore the cause of these divergences, we analyzed the dissociation constant of each reagent pair and scored them based on the hypothesis that pairs exhibiting stronger antigen-antibody binding would have smaller precipitin rings. Comparing these scores with the respective potency scores, we observed a strong correlation between the Binding score (relative BLI-KD) and potency score in LotA (r = 0.8464, p = 0.0001) but not in LotB (r = 0.4000, p = 0.1408).

Although H. longicornis ticks pose a potential risk to humans in Japan, studies on tick-borne viral prevalence of this tick species in Japan are limited. In this study, we conducted RNA virome analysis of H. longicornis ticks collected in Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Two known viruses, Dabieshan tick virus and Hubei sobemo-like virus 15, and putative novel quaranjavirus-like sequences were detected. Additionally, assessments of endogenous viral elements (EVEs) related to the virus and virus-like sequences suggested putative novel quaranjavirus-like sequences existed in both RNA and DNA forms. However, we could not determine whether this quaranjavirus-like sequence was of viral origin and could not conclude whether the DNA forms of the quaranjavirus-like sequence existed as EVEs in ticks.
