    Abstract Control of the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) will require one or more vaccines. Currently, numerous SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are in either pre-clinical or clinical development. Twenty are in fase III development. In this review we summarise available safety and efficacy data of two RNA based vaccines, two non-replication competent vector-based vaccine, one inactivated whole-virus vaccine, and one subunit. All being either approved or nearing approval.

    Abstract The optimal prevention strategy for invasive aspergillosis (IA) in lung transplant recipients (LTXr) is unknown. In 2016, the Danish guidelines were changed from universal to targeted IA prophylaxis. Previously, we found higher rates of adverse events in the universal prophylaxis period. In a Danish nationwide study including LTXr, for 2010-2019, we compared IA rates in time periods with universal vs. targeted prophylaxis and during person-time with vs. person-time without antifungal prophylaxis. IA hazard rates were analyzed in multivariable Cox models with adjustment for time after LTX. Among 295 LTXr, antifungal prophylaxis was initiated in 183/193 and 6/102 during the universal and targeted period, respectively. During the universal period, 62% discontinued prophylaxis prematurely. The median time on prophylaxis was 37 days (IQR 11-84). IA was diagnosed in 27/193 (14%) vs. 15/102 (15%) LTXr in the universal vs. targeted period, with an adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of 0.94 (95% CI 0.49-1.82). The aHR of IA during person-time with vs. person-time without antifungal prophylaxis was 0.36 (95% CI 0.12-1.02). No difference in IA was found during periods with universal vs. targeted prophylaxis. Prophylaxis was protective of IA when taken. Targeted prophylaxis may be preferred over universal due to comparable IA rates and lower rates of adverse events.

    Abstract Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and invasive aspergillosis (IA) cause morbidity among lung transplant recipients (LTXr). Early diagnosis and treatment could improve outcomes. We examined rates of CMV after IA and vice versa to assess whether screening for one infection is warranted after detecting the other. All Danish LTXr, 2010-2019, were followed for IA and CMV for 2 years after transplantation. IA was defined using ISHLT criteria. Adjusted incidence rate ratios (aIRR) were estimated by Poisson regression adjusted for time after transplantation. We included 295 LTXr, among whom CMV and IA were diagnosed in 128 (43%) and 48 (16%). The risk of CMV was high the first 3 months after IA, IR 98/100 person-years of follow-up (95% CI 47-206). The risk of IA was significantly increased in the first 3 months after CMV, aIRR 2.91 (95% CI 1.32-6.44). Numbers needed to screen to diagnose one case of CMV after IA, and one case of IA after CMV was approximately seven and eight, respectively. Systematic screening for CMV following diagnosis of IA, and vice versa, may improve timeliness of diagnosis and outcomes for LTXr.

    Abstract Background: Carbapenems are widely used for empiric treatment of healthcare-associated central nervous system (CNS) infections. We investigated the feasibility of a carbapenem-sparing strategy, utilising a third-generation cephalosporin (ceftriaxone or cefotaxime) (combined with vancomycin) for the empirical treatment of healthcare-associated CNS infections in Eastern Denmark.
    Methods: The departments of neurosurgery and neuro-intensive care at Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet. First, we analysed local microbiological data (1st January 2020-31st August 2022) to identify microorganisms non-susceptible to third-generation cephalosporin. Subsequently, we assessed all carbapenem prescriptions over a three-month period for their indication and justification.
    Results: In total, 25,247 bacterial cultures were identified, of which 2,563 CNS-related, were included in the analysis. The positivity rate was 10.5% (
    Conclusion: An empiric treatment strategy relying on a third-generation cephalosporin appears suitable for healthcare-associated CNS infections at our tertiary hospital, serving a population of 2.6 million. However, in patients with prolonged hospitalization (≥10 days), immunosuppression, prior broad-spectrum antibiotic use, or history of resistant Gram-negative bacteria, empirical prescription of carbapenem may be needed.
