Since last December 2019, a syndrome of severe pneumonia associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. It is highly contagious and rapidly spread to many other parts of China and almost all countries all over the world, representing one of the most
Since the beginning of 2020, SARS-CoV-2 spread rapidly throughout China and the rest of the world, with on 27 February 2020 the first detected case in the Netherlands.
According to the WHO, Health-care workers (HCW) face an elevated risk of exposure to - and infection of Covid-19.

The (SARS CoV-2) virus is spreading globally, threatening all healthcare systems. Many healthcare systems and organizations are using different protocols and measures to fight the COVID-19. Hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir and other antiviral medications are currently under research investigations.
The different available treatments for MS influence the immune system in distinct ways and, therefore, may lead to specific infectious risks. Whereas immunomodulating therapies have no impact on infection risks [Cahill 2010; Winkelmann 2016], the most recent drugs with immunosuppressant activity
Viral encephalitis is a medical emergency The spectrum of brain involvement and the prognosis are dependent mainly on the specific pathogen and the immunological state of the host.
Although specific therapy is limited to only several viral agents, correct immediate diagnosis and introduction of
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) can cause two distinct diseases: chicken pox (varicella) and herpes zoster (shingles). The primary infection with VZV causes chicken pox, a widespread rash occurring with fever, mostly in childhood. The virus can then remain dormant in a person's body and has the ability
The investigators selected hospitalized subjects with confirmed or suspected moderate or severe PCP: the diagnostic certainty will be based on the following criteria:
Proved PCP. Defined as cases with presence of P. jirovecii cysts in bronchial alveolar lavage (BAL) exams or lung biopsy.

meningitis is a notifiable disease in many countries, the exact incidence rate is unknown. In 2013 meningitis resulted in 303,000 deaths - down from 464,000 deaths in 1990. In 2010 it was estimated that meningitis resulted in 420,000 deaths, excluding cryptococcal meningitis.
Bacterial meningitis
Over the past few years it has become evident that cancer cells can be recognized by the patient's own immune system. The immunological mechanisms at play are often referred to as the "cancer immune cycle" (Chen and Mellman 2013; Mellman 2013; Chen and Mellman 2017). Remarkable anti-tumor activity
The purpose of this study is to determine the immune response from the new Shingrix vaccine in UC patients on tofacitinib monotherapy in comparison to other UC therapies. the investigators plan to determine this by vaccinating IBD patients on (a) tofacitinib monotherapy, (b) anti-TNF monotherapy,
Primary oral infection with the herpes simplex virus (HSV) typically occurs at a young age, is asymptomatic, and is not associated with significant morbidity. After primary oral infection, HSV may persist in a latent state in the trigeminal ganglion and later reactivate as the more common herpes
Primary oral infection with the herpes simplex virus (HSV) typically occurs at a young age, is asymptomatic, and is not associated with significant morbidity. After primary oral infection, HSV may persist in a latent state in the trigeminal ganglion and later reactivate as the more common herpes
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of a transcervical foley catheter, in combination with the standard oral misoprostol regimen will result in a decreased primary cesarean delivery rate among women with a cervical dilation of 2 centimeters of less who require induction of
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis can occur at any age, but usually affects children and young adults. The mean age of clinical presentation in pediatric cohorts ranges from 5 to 8 years. The annual incidence of Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is reported to be 0.4-0.8 per 100,000 and the
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is local acute phase protein with regenerative properties that become biologic inactive during chronic inflammation and loses the binding affinity to glycosaminoglycan in the extracellular ma-trix. HGF is excreted into the gastrointestinal tract and is not detected in
