    Abstract Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever is the most geographically widespread tick-borne virus, with infection resulting in mortality in up to 30% of cases. Clinical diagnosis alone is difficult due to the nonspecific nature of symptoms; therefore, laboratory diagnostics should be utilized for patients with residence in or travel to regions of endemicity in whom the disease is suspected. This minireview provides an overview of laboratory tests available for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) and their utility in diagnosis with a focus on diagnosing CCHF in humans.

    Abstract Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a new condition related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the pediatric population, was recognized by physicians in the United Kingdom in April 2020. Given those up to the age of 21 years can be affected, pregnant adolescents and young adults are susceptible. However, there is scant information on how MIS-C may affect pregnancy and whether the presentation differs in the pregnant population. We report a case of a pregnant adolescent with COVID-19 and MIS-C with a favorable outcome. This case highlights the considerations in managing a critically ill pregnant patient with a novel illness and the importance of a multidisciplinary team in coordinating care.

    Abstract We report 2 cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (COVID-19) in infants presenting with fever in the absence of respiratory distress who required hospitalization for evaluation of possible invasive bacterial infections. The diagnoses resulted from routine isolation and real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction-based testing for SARS-CoV-2 for febrile infants in an outbreak setting.

    Abstract While effective at preventing Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) disease, cellular immunity to ZEBOV and vector-directed immunity elicited by the recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus expressing ZEBOV glycoprotein (rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP) vaccine remain poorly understood. Sera and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected from 32 participants enrolled in a prospective multicenter study [ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02788227] before vaccination and up to six months post-vaccination. IgM and IgG antibodies, IgG-producing memory B cells (MBCs), and T cell reactivity to ZEBOV glycoprotein (ZEBOV-GP), vesicular stomatitis virus-Indiana strain (VSV-I) matrix (M) protein, and VSV-I nucleoprotein (NP) were measured using ELISA, ELISpot, and flow cytometry, respectively. 11/32 (34.4%) participants previously received a different investigational ZEBOV vaccine prior to enrollment and 21/32 (65.6%) participants were ZEBOV vaccine naïve. Both ZEBOV vaccine naïve and experienced participants had increased ZEBOV-GP IgG optical densities (ODs) post-rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP vaccination while only ZEBOV vaccine naïve participants had increased ZEBOV-GP IgM ODs. Transient IgM and IgG antibody responses to VSV-I M protein and NP were observed in a minority of participants. All participants had detectable ZEBOV-GP specific IgG-producing MBCs by 6 months post-vaccination while no changes were observed in the median IgG-producing MBCs to VSV-I proteins. T cell responses to ZEBOV-GP differed between ZEBOV vaccine experienced and ZEBOV vaccine naïve participants. T cell responses to both VSV-I M protein and VSV-I NP were observed, but were of a low magnitude. The rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP vaccine elicits robust humoral and memory B cell responses to ZEBOV glycoprotein in both ZEBOV vaccine naïve and experienced individuals and can generate vector-directed T cell immunity. Further research is needed to understand the significance of pre-existing vector and target antigen immunity on responses to booster doses of rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP and other rVSV-vectored vaccines.

    Abstract Background: Aerosol-generating procedures increase the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among health care workers (HCWs). An effective pre-exposure prophylaxis would mitigate this risk. Objective: To determine the efficacy of pre-exposure prophylactic hydroxychloroquine for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection and symptomatic coronavirus 19 disease (COVID-19) among HCWs at high occupational risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure. Methods: 130 HCWs in the New York University Langone Health System (NYULHS) who performed aerosol-generating procedures on patients with COVID-19 or provided bedside care for inpatients with COVID-19 or persons with suspected COVID-19 in an emergency department, for at least three shifts in a 7-day period, during the first 2020 COVID-19 wave in New York City were enrolled. Participants elected to take oral hydroxychloroquine, 600 mg on day 1 followed by 200 mg daily, or not take hydroxychloroquine for up to 90 days. Participants self-collected dried blood spots and completed digital questionnaires regarding COVID-19 symptoms, adverse events, and other COVID-19 medication use. Results: Six participants (7.5%) seroconverted during the trial: four who took hydroxychloroquine (6.8%) and two who declined hydroxychloroquine (9.5%). All participants not taking hydroxychloroquine reported COVID-19 symptoms at seroconversion compared to one of four participants (25%) who took hydroxychloroquine. Adverse events occurred in eight participants (9.6%) on hydroxychloroquine and were mostly mild. Conclusions: This study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04354870) did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion associated with hydroxychloroquine pre-exposure prophylaxis among HCWs at high risk of occupational SARS-CoV-2 exposure, although was underpowered and a high rate of hydroxychloroquine discontinuation was observed.
