    Abstract Objectives: We aimed to assess the performance of the Novodiag
    Methods: A panel of 167 selected stool samples was retrospectively analysed with the NSP assay and compared to routine microscopy and qPCR methods for the detection of pathogenic protozoa and microsporidia.
    Results: Whereas specificity was high for all protozoa and microsporidia, NSP sensitivity was strongly dependent on the comparative method used as reference. When compared to microscopic methods, NSP sensitivity was high (96.7 to 100%) for
    Conclusions: The overall performance of the NSP assay in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal protozoa and microsporidia seems to be better than or equivalent to that observed with microscopic methods but inferior to that obtainable with classical targeted qPCR.

    Abstract Background: A new mutation in the Plasmodium falciparum dihydropteroate synthetase gene (pfdhps), I431V, has been identified in several countries of Central and West Africa. This mutation is mostly found in association with four other SNPs on pfdhps (S436A, A437G, A581G and A613S), forming a quintuple mutant (vagKgs) and almost always associated with the Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase gene (pfdhfr) CirnI (C50R, N51I, S108N) triple mutant. To date, nothing is known about the impact of this new pfdhps genotype on sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) resistance.
    Objectives: We sought to assess the prevalence of this pfdhps vagKgs quintuple mutant in two groups of pregnant women with malaria, one that took intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) and one that did not.
    Methods: The pfdhfr and pfdhps genes from Plasmodium falciparum isolates collected in Yaoundé (Cameroon) from pregnant women with symptomatic malaria under IPTp-SP or not, were sequenced.
    Results: Of 159 patients evaluated, 70 had already taken SP during pregnancy and 89 had never taken SP. Only the vagKgs allele was significantly overrepresented in the SP+ group (21.4% versus 3.4%; P < 0.001), whereas the ISgKAA mutant, widely distributed in this area and known to be less susceptible to SP, tended to be less abundant in this group (48.6% versus 64.0%; P = 0.0503).
    Conclusions: We found a strong overrepresentation of the CirnI/vagKgs haplotype in the IPTp-SP pregnant group, suggesting a high level of resistance of this mutant to SP. This could compromise not only the effectiveness of IPTp-SP but also the seasonal malaria chemoprevention of young children, now widely implemented.

    Abstract Invasive mould infections are life-threatening and mainly occur in immunocompromised patients. Whereas aspergillosis is described during haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), only a few cases of concomitant mucormycosis with HLH have been reported. Here, we present an uncommon coinfection of mucormycosis and aspergillosis associated with HLH probably due to a varicella zoster virus (VZV) viraemia which was unresponsive to triple antifungal therapy (liposomal amphotericin B combined with isavuconazole and caspofungin). A review of the cases of mucormycosis with HLH showed that this uncommon association was always lethal and underscored the relevance of screening for mould infections in patients with HLH.

    Abstract Background: Efficacy of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine, the malaria chemoprophylaxis used in pregnant women, and in children when combined with amodiaquine, is threatened by the accumulation of mutations in the Plasmodium falciparum dihydropteroate synthase (pfdhps) and dihydrofolate reductase (pfdhfr) genes. Data on the prevalence of resistant alleles in central Africa and the new pfdhps I431V mutation, particularly associated with other mutations to form the pfdhps vagKgs allele, are scarce. We explored the frequency and geographical distribution of pfdhps and pfdhfr mutations in central Africa in 2014-18, and assessed the evolutionary origin of the vagKgs allele.
    Methods: Samples were collected at 18 health-care centres in seven countries (Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Nigeria, and Republic of the Congo) from patients who showed possible symptoms of malaria between March 1, 2014, and Oct 31, 2018. Samples that were positive for P falciparum were transported to a laboratory in Toulouse, France, and genotyped. The frequency of pfdhfr and pfdhps mutations was studied in 1749 samples. Microsatellites in pfdhps flanking regions and whole-genome analysis compared with parasite genomes from the data-sharing network MalariaGEN were performed on samples carrying the vagKgs allele.
    Findings: Mapping of the prevalence of single nucleotide polymorphisms and corresponding alleles of pfdhfr and pfdhps showed a substantial spread of alleles associated with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistance in central Africa during the 2014-18 period, especially an increase going west to east in pfdhps alleles carrying the K540E and A581G mutations. A high prevalence of the pfdhps I431V mutation was observed in Cameroon (exceeding 50% in the northern region) and Nigeria. Genomic analysis showed a recent African emergence and a clonal expansion of the most frequent pfdhps vagKgs allele.
    Interpretation: Reduced sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine efficacy due to increased resistance is a worrying situation, especially because the malaria transmission level is high in central Africa. Although the resistance phenotype remains to be confirmed, the emergence and spread of the vagKgs allele in west and central Africa could challenge the use of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine.
