    Abstract Objective: To characterize lung function dynamics in individuals with mild COVID-19 from pre-infection to two years post-infection.
    Methods: We re-invited participants two years after infection from our matched cohort study of the Copenhagen General Population who had initially been examined 5.4 months after infection. We repeated lung tests and questionnaires. Linear mixed models were used to estimate lung volume changes in individuals with COVID-19 patients versus uninfected controls over two intervals: from pre-infection to six months post-infection and six months post-infection to two years post-infection.
    Results: 52 individuals (48.6%) attended the two-year examination at median 1.9 years (IQR 1.8; 2.4) after COVID-19, all with mild infection. Individuals with COVID-19 had an adjusted excess decline in FEV1 of 13.0 mL per year (CI 23.5; 2.5), p=0.02 from prior infection to 6 months after infection compared to uninfected controls. From 6 to 24 months after infection, they had an excess decline of 7.5 mL per year (CI 25.6; 9.6), p=0.40. A similar pattern was observed for FVC. Participants had a mean increase in DLco of 3.33 (SD 7.97) between the 6- and 24-month examination.
    Conclusion: Our results indicate that mild COVID-19 infection affects lung function at time of infection with limited recovery two years after infection.

    Title translation Bacteriophages for the treatment of pseudomonas-infected vascular prosthesis.
    Abstract We present a case report detailing therapeutic application of two lytic antipseudomonal bacteriophages to treat a chronic relapsing Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of a prosthetic aortic graft. As there are currently no Danish laboratories offering phages for clinical therapy, and this case, to our knowledge represents the first applied phage therapy in Denmark, the practical and regulatory aspects of offering this treatment option in Denmark is briefly reviewed along with the clinical case.

    Abstract Mechanisms of COVID-19-induced lung injury involve complex immunopathological events which are currently being elucidated. Studying immune mechanisms at the primary site of injury, i.e. the lower airways, are particularly informative. This review provides a brief introduction to the methods used to perform sampling from the lungs of critically ill patients with COVID-19, key immunopathological findings and a discussion on how immunosuppressants may exert their effects locally.

    Title translation Orientia tsutsugamushi detected by microbiome diagnostics.
    Abstract Scrub typhus is caused by the mite-borne bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi. Imported cases have been suspected in Denmark but no diagnostic method has yet been available to confirm the diagnosis. This is a case report of a 38-year-old male admitted to hospital with high fever, severe malaise and headache after returning from Malaysia. Scrub typhus was suspected and the patient recovered after one week of doxycycline treatment. The pathogen was identified by use of microbiome 16S/18S rRNA next-generation sequencing on ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) blood, which in the future may serve an important role in the investigation of travel-associated infections.

    Abstract Background: Type I interferon (IFN-I) and IFN autoantibodies play a crucial role in controlling SARS-CoV-2 infection. The levels of these mediators have only rarely been studied in the alveolar compartment in patients with COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS) but have not been compared across different ARDS etiologies, and the potential effect of dexamethasone (DXM) on these mediators is not known.
    Methods: We assessed the integrity of the alveolo-capillary membrane, interleukins, type I, II, and III IFNs, and IFN autoantibodies by studying the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) volumes, alveolar concentration of protein, and ELF-corrected concentrations of cytokines in two patient subgroups and controls.
    Results: A total of 16 patients with CARDS (four without and 12 with DXM treatment), eight with non-CARDS, and 15 healthy controls were included. The highest ELF volumes and protein levels were observed in CARDS. Systemic and ELF-corrected alveolar concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6 appeared to be particularly low in patients with CARDS receiving DXM, whereas alveolar levels of IL-8 were high regardless of DXM treatment. Alveolar levels of IFNs were similar between CARDS and non-CARDS patients, and IFNα and IFNω autoantibody levels were higher in patients with CARDS and non-CARDS than in healthy controls.
    Conclusions: Patients with CARDS exhibited greater alveolo-capillary barrier disruption with compartmentalization of IL-8, regardless of DXM treatment, whereas systemic and alveolar levels of IL-6 were lower in the DXM-treated subgroup. IFN-I autoantibodies were higher in the BALF of CARDS patients, independent of DXM, whereas IFN autoantibodies in plasma were similar to those in controls.

    Abstract Purpose: Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR), a hallmark of bronchial asthma, is typically diagnosed through a methacholine inhalation test followed by spirometry, known as the methacholine challenge test (MCT). While spirometry relies on proper patients' cooperation and precise execution of forced breathing maneuvers, we conducted a comparative analysis with the portable nanomaterial-based sensing device, SenseGuard™, to non-intrusively assess tidal breathing parameters.
    Materials and methods: In this prospective study, 37 adult participants with suspected asthma underwent sequential spirometry and SenseGuard™ measurements after inhaling increasing methacholine doses.
    Results: Among the 37 participants, 18 were MCT responders, 17 were non-responders and 2 were excluded due to uninterpretable data. The MCT responders exhibited a significant lung function difference when comparing the change from baseline to maximum response. This was evident through a notable decrease in forced expiratory volume in 1 ​s (FEV
    Conclusions: This study demonstrates that tidal breathing assessment using SenseGuard™ device reliably detects clinically relevant changes of respiratory parameter during the MCT. It effectively distinguishes between responders and non-responders, with strong agreement to conventional spirometry-measured FEV
