    Abstract Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a major human pathogen for which there is no globally licensed vaccine. NTHi has a strict growth requirement for iron and encodes several systems to scavenge elemental iron and heme from the host. An effective NTHi vaccine would target conserved, essential surface factors, such as those involved in iron acquisition. Haemoglobin-haptoglobin binding proteins (Hgps) are iron-uptake proteins localized on the outer-membrane of NTHi. If the Hgps are to be included as components of a rationally designed subunit vaccine against NTHi, it is important to understand their prevalence and diversity. Following analysis of all available Hgp sequences, we propose a standardized grouping method for Hgps, and demonstrate increased diversity of these proteins than previously determined. This analysis demonstrated that genes encoding variants HgpB and HgpC are present in all strains examined, and almost 40% of strains had a duplicate, nonidentical hgpB gene. Hgps are also phase-variably expressed; the encoding genes contain a CCAA(n) simple DNA sequence repeat tract, resulting in biphasic ON-OFF switching of expression. Examination of the ON-OFF state of hgpB and hgpC genes in a collection of invasive NTHi isolates demonstrated that 58% of isolates had at least one of hgpB or hgpC expressed (ON). Varying expression of a diverse repertoire of hgp genes would provide strains a method of evading an immune response while maintaining the ability to acquire iron via heme. Structural analysis of Hgps also revealed high sequence variability at the sites predicted to be surface exposed, demonstrating a further mechanism to evade the immune system-through varying the surface, immune-exposed regions of the membrane anchored protein. This information will direct and inform the choice of candidates to include in a vaccine against NTHi.

    Abstract Background: Measurement of glomerular filtration rate by iohexol disappearance (iGFR) has become a gold standard in the pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. The need for serial phlebotomy can be difficult and minimizing venipunctures would be beneficial. Furthermore, finger stick collection for dried blood spot (DBS) may be more tolerable in the pediatric population, and equivalence between these two methods may further simplify the process.
    Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in children and adolescents 1 to 21 years with stages I-IV CKD. Iohexol was infused and blood drawn 10, 30, 120, and 300 min later. Blood spots on filter paper were collected by finger stick after each of the latter two blood draws. The rate of iohexol plasma disappearance was used to calculate GFR. Pearson's correlation coefficient and bias, Students t test, and Bland-Altman graphical representations were used to compare methods.
    Results: Forty-one patients were recruited. The mean creatinine was 1.13 mg/dL (SD 0.45), the mean 4-point iGFR was 73.2 ml/min/1.73m
    Conclusions: The 2-point iGFR was highly correlated and agreed well with the 4-point iGFR. The same was true for the DBS method and the 2-point venous method. DBS sampling by finger stick sampling at 2 time points after iohexol infusion gave an acceptably accurate measurement of GFR.

    Abstract Caregiver report is the most feasible way to assess early childhood development but is susceptible to the influences of response style and sociodemographic factors. In a sample of 571 caregiver-infant dyads (47.8% female; 48% White), we compared caregiver reports on the Ages and Stages Questionnaire-Third Edition (ASQ-3) with reports on a novel, web-based assessment, PediaTrac™. Ratings on PediaTrac correlated with ratings on the ASQ-3 at all time points (2, 4, 6, and 9 months). Caregiver age, response style, and sociodemographic factors accounted for significant variance on both measures. Developmental reporting of early childhood skills is influenced by caregiver response style and sociodemographic factors. These influences must be considered in order to ensure the accurate identification of infant developmental status.

    Abstract In April 2016, a yellow fever outbreak was detected in Uganda. Removal of contaminating ribosomal RNA in a clinical sample improved the sensitivity of next-generation sequencing. Molecular analyses determined the Uganda yellow fever outbreak was distinct from the concurrent yellow fever outbreak in Angola, improving our understanding of yellow fever epidemiology.

    Abstract An adult male from Missouri sought care for fever, fatigue, and gastrointestinal symptoms. He had leukopenia and thrombocytopenia and was treated for a presumed tickborne illness. His condition deteriorated with respiratory and renal failure, lactic acidosis, and hypotension. Next-generation sequencing and phylogenetic analysis identified a reassortant Cache Valley virus.
