The data show that young adults and men having sex with men (MSM) are the key groups involved in the transmission of STI in Europe. Young adults particularly contribute to the case numbers of chlamydia, which can partly be explained by targeted chlamydia testing in this age...

I agree with Hugh Pennington when he states, in the accompanying debate, that “single rooms increase privacy, dignity, and confidentiality.”1 A single room ensures that I don’t have to balance on a commode while fighting with curtains and equipment. I don’t have to be embarrassed by my own or others’ bodily sounds or if I expose my flesh. If you are acutely unwell—for example, with vomiting or diarrhoea, which is horrible at the best of times, let alone in public—it...

Background. Studies have suggested an increased risk of pneumonia with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) use, although this association is inconsistent. We evaluated the risk of recurrent pneumonia associated with ICS use in a high-risk population of individuals who survived an episode of pneumonia. Methods. Clinical and 5-year follow-up data were collected on all adults aged ≥65 years with pneumonia over a period of 2 years. Using a nested case-control design, first cases (patients with recurrent pneumonia ≥30 days after initial episode) and then...

Neutralizing antibodies (NAb) are important for interfering with horizontal transmission of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) leading to primary and congenital HCMV infection. Recent findings have shown that a pentameric virion complex formed by the glycoproteins gH/gL, UL128, UL130, and UL131A (UL128C) is required for HCMV entry into epithelial/endothelial cells (Epi/EC) and is the target of potent NAb in HCMV-seropositive individuals. Using bacterial artificial chromosome technology, we have generated a modified vaccinia Ankara virus (MVA) that stably coexpresses all 5 rhesus CMV...

The emergence of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is of global concern: the virus has caused severe respiratory illness, with 111 confirmed cases and 52 deaths at the time of this article's publication. Therapeutic interventions have not been evaluated in vivo; thus, patient management relies exclusively on supportive care, which, given the high case-fatality rate, is not highly effective. The rhesus macaque is the only known model organism for MERS-CoV infection, developing an acute localized to widespread pneumonia with...
