    Abstract Rituals are an integral part of human life but a wide range of rituals (both religious and non-religious), from self-flagellation to blood brotherhood to ritual sprinkling of holy water, have been associated with transmission of infections. These infections include angiostrongyliasis, anthrax, brucellosis, cholera, COVID-19, cutaneous larva migrans, Ebola, hepatitis viruses, herpes simplex virus, HIV, human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV), kuru,

    Abstract Patients with cancer are increasingly vulnerable to infections, which may be more severe than in the general population. Improvements in rapid and timely diagnosis to optimize management are needed. We conducted a systematic literature review to determine the unmet need in diagnosing acute infections in immunocompromised patients with cancer and identified 50 eligible studies from 5188 records between 1 January 2012 and 23 June 2022. There was considerable heterogeneity in study designs and parameters, laboratory methods and definitions, and assessed outcomes, with limited evaluation of diagnostic impact on clinical outcomes. Culture remains the primary diagnostic strategy. Fewer studies employing molecular technologies exist, but emerging literature suggests that pathogen-agnostic molecular tests may add to the diagnostic armamentarium. Well-designed clinical studies using standardized methodologies are needed to better evaluate performance characteristics and clinical and economic impacts of emerging diagnostic techniques to improve patient outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Kidney transplant (KT) candidates have historically low immunization rates against recommended vaccines. A retrospective single-center study of contemporary KT candidates was conducted to assess vaccination rates and vaccine uptake.
    Methods: All KT candidates ≥18 y evaluated between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020, were retrospectively reviewed for history of prior vaccination against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis; 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine; and recombinant zoster vaccine. Positive hepatitis A IgG total, hepatitis B surface antibody, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella IgG were assessed as surrogate markers of immunity. Vaccine uptake among vaccine-eligible candidates was also assessed.
    Results: Among 150 KT candidates, the rate of prior vaccination against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis; 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine; and recombinant zoster vaccine (latter among patients ≥50 y) was found to be as low as 11%. Hepatitis A IgG total, hepatitis B surface antibody, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella IgG seropositivity rates were 30%, 66%, 88%, 78%, 90%, and 96%, respectively. Only 7 (5%) of 150 patients had complete immunization or seropositivity. Five (3%) of 143 vaccine-eligible patients declined vaccination. Hepatitis A vaccine declination was relatively common with 15 (16%) of 94 vaccine-eligible patients declining it.
    Conclusions: KT candidates have low baseline rates of prior immunization/seropositivity against most recommended vaccines. Overall vaccine uptake among eligible candidates was high.

    Abstract Cutaneous cryptococcosis is uncommon. It is usually a result of disseminated infection and can present with a wide variety of skin lesions. We report a case of disseminated cryptococcosis in a kidney transplant recipient who presented with nodular lesions in the forehead following a bout of acute cellular rejection.

    Abstract Hepatitis viruses are named for their primary clinical illness, inflammation of the liver. Currently, six types of viruses are designated hepatitis viruses (A, B, C, D, E, and G), although only five of these cause hepatitis. Hepatitis viruses are composed of RNA and DNA viruses from different families and with different virologic properties, some of which typically cause acute hepatitis while others cause acute and chronic hepatitis. In addition to their role in liver disease, members of this group of viruses may cause a variety of pathologic changes in the kidney and other organs, and chronic infection may lead to cirrhosis in addition to raising a variety of important issues in the management of kidney transplant recipients. In this brief report, we review the virologic and clinical properties of each of the hepatitis viruses, and highlight the role of each virus in renal disease and kidney transplantation.
