Perinatal transmission of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and the risk of infection

AbstractImmunosuppression permits graft survival after transplantation and consequently a longer and better life. On the other hand, it increases the risk of infection, for instance with cytomegalovirus (CMV). However, the various available immunosuppressive therapies differ in this regard. One of the first clinical trials using de novo everolimus after kidney transplantation [1] already revealed a considerably lower incidence of CMV infection in the everolimus arms than in the mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) arm. This result was repeatedly confirmed in later studies [2–4]. Everolimus is now considered a substance with antiviral properties. This article is based on the expert meeting “Posttransplant CMV infection and the role of immunosuppression”. The expert panel called for a paradigm shift: In a CMV prevention strategy the targeted selection of the immunosuppressive therapy is also a key element. For patients with elevated risk of CMV, mTOR inhibitor-based immunosuppression is advantageous as it is associated with a significantly lower incidence of CMV events.

The risk of infestation of the population by the opisthorchiasis causative agent in the middle and lower reaches of the Iset River was estimated. Areas with the highest risk of peoples infection by Opisthorchis felineus’ metacercaria are identified. These territories are confined to the zones of removal of the opisthorchiasis causative agent, which are river beds and large water bodies that constantly connect with rivers. Steady risk of infection of the population is determined by the loimopotential of the opisthorchiasis natural focus. The general infestation of juveniles fishes in the middle and lower current of the Iset River made 9,9 %, annuals – 21,5 %, two-year-olds – 19,5 %.
