概括
在严重的COVID-19中,升高的普雷塞普辛水平可能与简单疹病毒-1 (HSV-1) 活性化有关,而不是细菌或真菌感染. 这一发现影响了对COVID-19生物标志物和疾病进展的理解.
科学领域:
- 生物化学 生物化学
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 传染性疾病 传染性疾病
背景情况:
- 素,一种可溶性CD14片段,是COVID-19严重程度的潜在生物标志物.
- 严重的COVID-19患者经常经历二次细菌,真菌或病毒感染.
- 这些感染可能会使疾病的进展复杂化,并影响生物标志物的解释.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究同时感染对COVID-19患者血清前素水平的影响.
- 为了区分细菌/真菌超级感染与HSV-1再激活对普雷塞普辛的影响.
- 澄清前素作为严重COVID-19中的生物标志物的作用.
主要方法:
- 使用ELISA测量了63名中度COVID-19患者,60名严重COVID-19患者和49名对照者的血清前素水平.
- 分析了与前素的相关性和超级感染或HSV-1再激活的存在.
- 在患者组和对照组之间进行了统计比较.
主要成果:
- 严重的COVID-19患者比中度病例有更高的前素 (p=0.002);没有幸存者有更高的水平 (p=0.027).
- 在这两组中,普雷塞普辛与前citonin都有正相关性.
- 与细菌/真菌感染不同的是,HSV-1复激活显著增加了前素 (p=0.002),而不是细菌/真菌感染.
- 排除HSV-1病例消除了中度和严重的COVID-19前素水平之间的差异.
结论:
- 在严重的COVID-19中,血清前素的升高主要与简单疹病毒-1 (HSV-1) 的重新激活有关.
- 细菌或真菌超级感染不会显著影响前素水平.
- 作为COVID-19的严重性生物标志物的普雷塞普辛的实用性可能会被HSV-1重新激活所混.

Cytomegalovirus Disease
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...
Encephalitis l: Introduction
Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma, most often due to infections or autoimmune processes. It presents with neuropsychiatric features such as fever, altered mental status, behavioral changes, cognitive dysfunction, seizures, focal deficits, and sometimes autonomic instability. In some cases, the meninges are also involved, resulting in meningoencephalitis.Infectious CausesInfectious encephalitis is most commonly viral but can also result from bacterial, fungal, or parasitic...
