    Abstract Targeted therapies are widely used for treatment of autoimmune diseases as well as solid organ and hematological malignancies. Various opportunistic infections have been described in patients on targeted therapies. Although case reports or a few case series of listeriosis have been reported to be associated with targeted therapy, most of the cases were related to anti-tumor necrosis factor-α monoclonal antibody. In this study, we describe the epidemiological and clinical profiles of listeriosis in a tertiary hospital in Shenzhen, a Southern Chinese metropolitan city in China. During the 9-year-and-6-month study period, a total of five cases of listeriosis were recorded and all of them had

    Abstract In the last two decades, several coronavirus (CoV) interspecies jumping events have occurred between bats and other animals/humans, leading to major epidemics/pandemics and high fatalities. The SARS epidemic in 2002/2003 had a ~10% fatality. The discovery of SARS-related CoVs in horseshoe bats and civets and genomic studies have confirmed bat-to-civet-to-human transmission. The MERS epidemic that emerged in 2012 had a ~35% mortality, with dromedaries as the reservoir. Although CoVs with the same genome organization (e.g.,

    Abstract Objectives: To describe the epidemiology of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and colonization diagnosed by next-generation sequencing (NGS) and explore the usefulness of the number of P. jirovecii sequence reads for the diagnosis of P. jirovecii pneumonia.
    Methods: We examined the NGS results for P. jirovecii in respiratory samples collected from patients and analysed their clinical, radiological and microbiological characteristics.
    Results: Among 285 respiratory samples collected over a 12-month period (January to December 2022), P. jirovecii sequences were detected in 56 samples from 53 patients. Fifty (94.3%) of the 53 patients were HIV-negative. Following our case definitions, 37 (69.8%) and 16 (30.2%) of the 53 patients had P. jirovecii infection and colonization respectively. P. jirovecii infection was associated with presence of underlying disease with immunosuppression (94.6% vs 18.8%, P < 0.05), positive serum 1,3-β-D-glucan (41.2% vs 0%, P < 0.01) and higher number of P. jirovecii sequence reads (P < 0.005). In contrast, P. jirovecii colonization was associated with the male sex (93.8% vs 54.1%, P < 0.01), another definitive infectious disease diagnosis of the respiratory tract (43.8% vs 2.7%, P < 0.001) and higher survival (100% vs 67.6%, P < 0.01). Although P. jirovecii pneumonia was associated with higher number of P. jirovecii reads in respiratory samples, only a sensitivity of 82.14% and a specificity of 68.75% could be achieved.
    Conclusion: Detection of P. jirovecii sequences in respiratory samples has to be interpreted discreetly. A combination of clinical, radiological and laboratory findings is still the most crucial in determining whether a particular case is genuine P. jirovecii pneumonia.
