    Abstract A 33-year-old woman developed palindromic rheumatism (PLR) several weeks following an infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Three months later, she developed full blown seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) following COVID-19 reinfection. Although the occurrence of the joint diseases and the COVID-19 infections maybe fortuitous, knowing the enormous effects of COVID-19 infection on the human immune system, it is difficult to ignore the temporal relationship between the appearance of PLR after the first COVID-19 infection and the transition to full blown RA following her COVID-19 re-infection.

    Abstract Background: Older adults are at increased risk of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this study we assessed the response to COVID-19 vaccination and infection rates among nursing homes (NH) and assisted-living care home (ALCH) residents.
    Methods: The study was conducted between August 2021 and January 2022, after widespread population vaccination with the third dose of Pfizer-BioNtech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in Israel. Three groups were addressed: hospitalized older patients; NH and ALCH residents. Demographic data, COVID-19 serology (anti-spike IgG antibodies) and PCR test results were obtained to assess the dynamics of antibody titers and its correlation to infection rates.
    Results: Two-hundred eighty-five individuals were evaluated; 92 hospitalized patients; 100 ALCH residents and 93 NH residents. In the latter two groups two serology surveys were conducted three months apart. Hospitalized patients were younger than ALCH and NH residents (mean age 80.4 ± 8 versus 82.6 ± 8 and 83.6 ± 5, respectively, p = 0.01), and had more comorbidities (p = 0.003). The degree of decline in the antibody level overtime was similar in ALCH and NH residents. Infection rates were higher among NH residents than ALCH residents [35/91 (38.4%) versus 11/100 (11%), p < 0.001]. Antibody level was lower among those infected [2113 (1271-3512) Au/ml versus 4113 (3364-5029) Au/ml, p < 0.001]. Adjusted analysis showed that NH residence, but not antibody levels, were significantly associated with infection.
    Conclusion: Among older adults, infection rates inversely correlated with antibody level. However, only nursing home residence was significantly associated with infection, suggesting that other factors such as crowding considerably contribute to the risk of infection.

    Abstract Background: The use of a tunneled catheter as the primary vascular access among old hemodialysis patients is frequent. Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is a common complication, associated with increased mortality. Data regarding the clinical presentation and outcomes of CRBSI among old hemodialysis patients is limited.
    Methods: All chronic hemodialysis patients hospitalized between 2010 and 2022 with CRBSI were included. Patients were classified into two groups: old adults (≥ 75) and younger patients. Clinical, microbiological, and outcome data were collected and analyzed.
    Results: One hundred and fifty-four patients with CRBSI were identified. Fifty-seven were aged ≥ 75 years. Mean age in the older and younger groups was 81.2 ± 5 and 59.7 ± 12.7, respectively. Male gender was predominant (64%). Charlson comorbidity score and Pitt bacteremia score were comparable among both groups. Norton score < 14 was more common among old persons (n = 24, 67% versus n = 21, 31%, p < 0.001), as well as nursing-home residence. Gram-negative pathogens and Staphylococcus aureus were common in both groups. The frequency of inappropriate empirical antimicrobial treatment was higher among older persons. Overall, in-hospital and 90-day mortality was high (age ≥ 75, 36.8%, age < 75, 24.7%, p = 0.14). Age was not significantly associated with mortality after adjustment for low Norton score, residence, and inappropriate antimicrobial therapy as well as resistance patterns of bloodstream isolates [OR = 1.2 (95% CI 0.4-3.3), p = 0.76].
    Conclusions: Clinical characteristics and outcomes of CRBSI were comparable among old and young hemodialysis patients. However, the high mortality rate in this cohort suggests that the use of tunneled catheters as a permanent vascular access should be discouraged in both patient groups.
