There were no significant differences in any of the measured cytokines between severity levels of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in PWH, while most were significantly higher in HIV-uninfected individuals with severe COVID-19, suggesting that excess cytokines release by hyperinflammatory responses do not occur in individuals with severe COVID-19 with HIV infection. The strong associations between the cytokines observed in HIV-uninfected individuals, particularly between IFN-α/TNF-α and other cytokines, were lost in PWH. The steady-state plasma levels of IP-10, ICAM-1, and CD62E were significantly higher in PWH, indicating that they were in an enhanced inflammatory state. The absence of several inter-cytokine correlations was observed in in vitro lipopolysaccharide stimulus-driven cytokine production in PWH. These data suggest that inflammatory responses during SARS-CoV-2 infection in PWH are distinct from those in HIV-uninfected individuals, partially because of the underlying inflammatory state and/or impairment of innate immune cells.","PeriodicalId":14608,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of infectious diseases","volume":" ","pages":"301-310"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141467919","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}

In Japan, the estimated disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to ARO infections is 137.9 per 100,000 persons, with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) being the main contributor. Factors that can contribute to DALYs in Japan include younger age and a higher number of deaths in patients with MRSA bacteremia. Moreover, longer hospital stays may contribute to the higher rates of MRSA bacteremia in Japan than in western countries. We reviewed the diagnostic procedure combination data collected from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020, in an acute care hospital in Tokyo, Japan. We found that the median time from admission to MRSA bacteremia onset was 26 days, which is longer than that observed in western countries however similar to that in South Korea. Furthermore, our cohort was older than those in the United States and South Korea, potentially contributing to the higher number of years of life lost in Japan. These results underscore the need to develop strategies to reduce hospitalization rates in Japan.

This study aimed to investigate the genetic characteristics and molecular epidemiology of CVA6 in Linyi between the years 2022 and 2023. In total, 965 patients with HFMD were enrolled in this study, and analyses based on VP1 nucleotide sequences were performed to determine the evolutionary trajectory of CVA6. In 2022, 281/386 (72.8%) patients were positive for enteroviruses (EVs) and 217/281 (77.2%) were CVA6 positive. In 2023, 398/579 (68.7%) samples were positive for EVs and 243/398 (61.1%) were CVA6 positive. Six sequences were selected each year for homology analysis. The results showed that the 12 strains isolated from Linyi were distant from the prototype strain (AY421764) and the first CVA6 strain reported in China (JQ364886). Phylogenetic analysis showed that the CVA6 strains isolated from Linyi belonged to the D3 sub-genotype.
