Galicia (Spain) was one of the first regions worldwide to incorporate nirsevimab for universal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prophylaxis in infants into its immunisation programme. The NIRSE-GAL longitudinal population-based study aimed to assess nirsevimab effectiveness in preventing hospitalisations (ie, admittance to hospital). The 2023–24 immunisation campaign with nirsevimab in Galicia began

Viral shedding and viraemia of Andes virus during acute hantavirus infection: a prospective study Lancet Infect Dis (IF 56.3) Pub Date : 2024-04-03 Prof Marcela Ferrés MD, Constanza Martínez-Valdebenito MSc, Carolina Henriquez MSc, Claudia Marco MSc, Jenniffer Angulo PhD, Aldo Barrera PhD, Carlos Palma BSc, Gonzalo Barriga Pinto PhD, Analia Cuiza RN, Leonila Ferreira MD, María Luisa Rioseco MD, Mario Calvo MD, Ricardo Fritz MD, Sebastián Bravo MD, Prof Alejandro Bruhn PhD, Jerónimo Graf MD, Alvaro Llancaqueo MD, Gonzalo Rivera MD, Carolina Cerda
Andes virus (ANDV) is a zoonotic leading to hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome. Although most transmissions occur through environmental exposure to rodent faeces and urine, rare person-to-person transmission has been documented, mainly for close contacts. This study investigates the presence and infectivity of ANDV in body fluids from confirmed cases and the duration of viraemia. In this prospective

Safety and immunogenicity of the co-administered Na-APR-1 and Na-GST-1 hookworm vaccines in school-aged children in Gabon: a randomised, controlled, observer-blind, phase 1, dose-escalation trial Lancet Infect Dis (IF 56.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-18 Jeannot F Zinsou MD, Prof David J Diemert MD, Jean Claude Dejon-Agobé MD, Bayodé R Adégbité PhD, Yabo Josiane Honkpehedji MD, Kafui G Vodonou MSc, Rodrigue Bikangui MSc, Jean Ronald Edoa MD, Marguerite Massinga Loembe PhD, Guangzhao Li MS, Prof Maria Yazdanbakhsh PhD, Prof Maria Elena Bottazzi PhD, Remko van Leeuwen MD, Prof Peter G Kremsner MD, Prof Peter J Hotez PhD, Prof Jeffrey M Bethony PhD, Prof
A human hookworm vaccine is being developed to protect children against iron deficiency and anaemia associated with chronic infection with hookworms. aspartic protease-1 (-APR-1) and glutathione S-transferase-1 (-GST-1) are components of the blood digestion pathway critical to hookworm survival in the host. Recombinant -GST-1 and catalytically inactive -APR-1 (-APR-1[M74]) adsorbed to Alhydrogel were

Prevalence of subclinical pulmonary tuberculosis in adults in community settings: an individual participant data meta-analysis Lancet Infect Dis (IF 56.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-12 Logan Stuck PhD, Eveline Klinkenberg PhD, Nahid Abdelgadir Ali MD, Egbal Ahmed Basheir Abukaraig MD, Yaw Adusi-Poku MD, Zeleke Alebachew Wagaw MD, Razia Fatima MD, Nathan Kapata PhD, Pascalina Kapata-Chanda PhD, Bruce Kirenga PhD, Llang B Maama-Maime MD, Prof Sayoki G Mfinanga PhD, Sizulu Moyo PhD, Lindiwe Mvusi MD, Ndahafa Nandjebo RN, Hai Viet Nguyen PhD, Hoa Binh Nguyen PhD, Joshua Obasanya MD,
Subclinical pulmonary tuberculosis, which presents without recognisable symptoms, is frequently detected in community screening. However, the disease category is poorly clinically defined. We explored the prevalence of subclinical pulmonary tuberculosis according to different case definitions. We did a one-stage individual participant data meta-analysis of nationally representative surveys that were

Accelerating antibiotic access and stewardship: a new model to safeguard public health Lancet Infect Dis (IF 56.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-11 Jennifer Cohn MD, Prof Marc Mendelson PhD, Prof Souha S Kanj MD, Nusrat Shafiq DM, Icaro Boszczowski MD, Ramanan Laxminarayan PhD
This Personal View discusses the challenges faced, especially by low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), in responding to the growing burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance. Many patients in LMICs lack access to effective and affordable treatments needed to successfully treat patients. Meanwhile, traditional antimicrobial stewardship models face implementation challenges due to financial

Consensus definitions in imported human schistosomiasis: a GeoSentinel and TropNet Delphi study Lancet Infect Dis (IF 56.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Francesca Tamarozzi PhD, Cristina Mazzi MSc, Prof Spinello Antinori MD, Marta Arsuaga PhD, Prof Sören L Becker PhD, Prof Emmanuel Bottieau PhD, Daniel Camprubi-Ferrer PhD, Prof Eric Caumes PhD, Alexandre Duvignaud MD, Prof Martin P Grobusch FRCP, Prof Stephane Jaureguiberry PhD, Sabine Jordan MD, Andreas Mueller MD, Andreas Neumayr MD, Jose A Perez-Molina PhD, Joaquin Salas-Coronas PhD, Fernando Salvador
Terminology in schistosomiasis is not harmonised, generating misunderstanding in data interpretation and clinical descriptions. This study aimed to achieve consensus on definitions of clinical aspects of schistosomiasis in migrants and returning travellers. We applied the Delphi method. Experts from institutions affiliated with GeoSentinel and TropNet, identified through clinical and scientific criteria

SARS-CoV-2 variants evade immunity despite vaccination with prototype COVID-19 vaccines or previous infection. The 2019nCoV-311 (part 2) study is evaluating immune responses after two booster doses of a vaccine containing the omicron BA.5 subvariant spike protein in adults previously vaccinated with a prototype mRNA vaccine. This interim analysis reports on day 28 immunogenicity and safety outcomes

A reference standard for urinary tract infection research: a multidisciplinary Delphi consensus study Lancet Infect Dis (IF 56.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-05 Manu P Bilsen MD, Prof Simon P Conroy PhD, Caroline Schneeberger MD, Tamara N Platteel MD, Cees van Nieuwkoop MD, Prof Lona Mody MD, Prof Jeffrey M Caterino MD, Prof Suzanne E Geerlings MD, Bela Köves MD, Prof Florian Wagenlehner MD, Marleen Kunneman PhD, Prof Leo G Visser MD, Merel M C Lambregts MD, UTI Reference Standard Consensus Group, Thomas Hooton, Lindsay Nicolle, Barbara Trautner, Kalpana Gupta
The absence of a consensus-based reference standard for urinary tract infection (UTI) research adversely affects the internal and external validity of diagnostic and therapeutic studies. This omission hinders the accumulation of evidence for a disease that imposes a substantial burden on patients and society, particularly in an era of increasing antimicrobial resistance. We did a three-round Delphi
