    Abstract The World Health Organization's aim to end the global tuberculosis (TB) epidemic by 2050 cannot be achieved without taking measures to identify people with asymptomatic Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and offer them an intervention to reduce the risk of disease progression, such as preventive antimicrobial therapy. Implementation of this strategy is limited by the fact that existing tests for Mtb infection, which use immunosensitization to Mtb-specific antigens as a proxy for infection, have low positive predictive value for progression to TB. A blood test that detects Mtb deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) could allow preventive therapy to be targeted at individuals with microbiological evidence of persistent infection. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the development of molecular microbial blood tests for Mtb infection and discuss potential explanations for discordance between their results and those of immunodiagnostic tests in adults with recent exposure to an infectious index case. We also present a roadmap for further development of molecular microbial blood tests for Mtb infection, and highlight the potential for research in this area to provide novel insights into the biology of Mtb infection and yield new tools to support efforts to control the global TB epidemic.

    Abstract Even though alstroemeria mosaic virus (AlMV) is one of the most important viruses affecting alstroemeria plants, its genome is only partially available in public sequence databases. High throughput sequencing (HTS) of RNA from alstroemeria plants with symptoms of mosaic and streaking, collected in Lasso-Ecuador, indicated the presence of AlMV and lily symptomless virus. In this study, we aimed to assemble and characterize the complete genome sequence of AlMV. Reads from Illumina sequencing of ribosomal RNA-depleted total RNA were assembled into contigs that were mapped to the sunflower chlorotic mottle virus genome, revealing the 9774 [corrected] bp complete genome sequence of AlMV. Multiple sequence alignment of the AlMV polyprotein with close homologs allowed the identification of ten mature proteins P1, HC-Pro, P3, 6K1, CI, 6K2, NIa-VPg, NIa-Pro, NIb and CP. Furthermore, several potyvirus motifs were identified in the AlMV polyprotein including those related to potyvirus aphid transmission

    Abstract Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) encompasses a heterogeneous collection of malignancies for which diagnostic biomarkers are lacking and population screening is infeasible because of its status as a rare disease. Coupled with high postsurgical recurrence rates among the minority of patients diagnosed at resectable stages, systemic clinical management will inevitably be required for the majority of patients with CCA with recurrent and advanced disease. In this review, we discuss the therapeutic potential of different classes of molecular targets at various stages of development in CCA, including those targeted to the tumor epithelia (oncogenic, developmental, metabolic, epigenomic) and tumor microenvironment (angiogenesis, checkpoint regulation). Furthermore, we discuss the successes and failures of CCA-targeted therapies, emphasizing key lessons learned that should pave the way for future molecular target evaluation in this uncommon yet bona fide target-rich disease.

    Abstract Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become the mainstay of treatment for many malignancies. With this new strategy, relevant immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have been reported, some of which can be mistaken for disease progression. To better illustrate the current challenges in diagnosing and managing a patient under adjuvant ICI treatment, we present the case of a 67-year-old female patient with stage IIIB unresectable, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated, non-small-cell lung cancer who was initially treated with chemoradiotherapy, followed by immunotherapy with durvalumab. During the course of immunotherapy, the patient presented with madarosis and erythematous and endured skin lesions, in addition to lymphadenopathies and pulmonary infiltrates. She was started on first-line palliative treatment with an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. After reviewing the case, a multidisciplinary team meeting suggested diagnostic procedures, including a transbronchial needle aspiration from mediastinal lymph nodes. The histologic examination showed chronic systemic inflammation and non-caseating granulomas of the sarcoid type. In this case, palliative treatment was suspended and systemic therapy with prednisolone was initiated. The patient became asymptomatic and the previously observed radiologic abnormalities resolved. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and appropriate treatment of irAEs, mainly because these conditions remain poorly understood and are probably underdiagnosed. Considering differential diagnosis is paramount to guide clinical management, despite curative or palliative treatment intent.
