    Abstract Mpox virus is an emergent human pathogen. While it is less lethal than smallpox, it can still cause significant morbidity and mortality. In this review, we explore 3 antiviral agents with activity against mpox and other orthopoxviruses: cidofovir, brincidofovir, and tecovirimat. Cidofovir, and its prodrug brincidofovir, are inhibitors of DNA replication with a broad spectrum of activity against multiple families of double-stranded DNA viruses. Tecovirimat has more specific activity against orthopoxviruses and inhibits the formation of the extracellular enveloped virus necessary for cell-to-cell transmission. For each agent, we review basic pharmacology, data from animal models, and reported experience in human patients.

    Abstract Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) are the preferred treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Despite their therapeutic benefits, these targeted agents have been associated with an increased risk of invasive infections. We describe a 68-year-old male who developed multiple bacterial, fungal and viral infections while on treatment with acalabrutinib. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of concomitant CNS infections with

    Abstract Background: Human mpox has increasingly been reported worldwide since May 2022, with higher incidence in men who have sex with men (MSM) and persons living with HIV (PLHIV) with presentation typical for generalized macules and papules.
    Case presentation: We are describing a case of human mpox, which presented as widespread, atypical round verrucous lesions that went undiagnosed in the community for six months and was treated with antibacterials and antifungals given the similarity to skin manifestations associated with endemic mycoses.
    Conclusions: Suspicion for human mpox should be high in young MSM and PLHIV who present with rash and mpox should be ruled out earlier.

    Abstract Objectives: Allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) recipients who are cytomegalovirus (CMV)-seronegative have better post-transplant outcomes than CMV-seropositive recipients. Letermovir (LTV) is approved for CMV primary prophylaxis in adults who are CMV-seropositive after allo-HCT, and its use is associated with improved long-term post-transplant outcomes. We analysed whether LTV has affected the relationship between CMV serostatus and post-transplant outcomes.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-centre cohort study of allo-HCT recipients, stratified according to donor (D) and recipient (R). CMV serostatus and the use of LTV: D
    Results: The analysis included 1071 consecutive allo-HCT recipients: 131 D
    Discussion: CMV primary prophylaxis with LTV abrogated the mortality gap based on CMV serostatus, a protective effect that persisted after discontinuation of primary prophylaxis.

    Abstract While the use of intraperitoneal (i.p.) gentamicin is common in the treatment of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infections, the ability of these regimens to attain pharmacodynamic target indices of interest in blood and dialysate has not been widely reported. Pharmacokinetic (PK) data were obtained and analyzed from a multiple-dose PK study of i.p. gentamicin with 24 patients who received the drug at 0.6 mg/kg dose of body weight. The probability of target attainment (PTA) for indices of treatment success (i.p. peak/MIC ratio > 10) and toxicity (plasma area under the concentration-time curve [AUC] < 120 mg·h/L) was determined for 0.3- to 1.2-mg/kg i.p. regimens every 24 h for dwell times of 2 to 6 h and for the duration of a 2-week course. In the peritoneum, successful PTA was achieved by all of the simulated regimens up to an MIC of 1 mg/L and by doses equal to or greater than 0.6 mg/kg up to the MIC of 2 mg/L. At the susceptibility breakpoint of 4 mg/L, only the highest dose of 1.2 mg/kg is likely to provide adequate PTA. The probability of achieving exposure below the threshold of 120 mg·h/L in the daily AUC in plasma seems acceptable for all regimens at or below 0.6 mg/kg. Based on the model we developed, a gentamicin dose of 0.6 mg/kg is sufficient to treat organisms with an MIC of ≤2 mg/L without the risk of significant systemic exposure. The 1.2-mg/kg dose necessary to reach the pharmacodynamic target for efficacy at the clinical breakpoint of 4 mg/L is likely to produce early toxic levels of exposure that are expected to be detrimental to the renal system.
