  Significant statistical differences were observed in lymphocyte percentage decreased and C-reactive protein elevated (all P = 0.015) in the patients with COVID-19 infection between initial positive chest CT results (10/14) and negative chest CT results (4/14). We would like to share our opinions for diagnostic approach of COVID-19 infection, the diagnostic approach for COVID-19 infection should be made comprehensive analysis.

  In our analysis, older age is significantly associated with prolonged duration of positive PCR tests from nasopharyngeal swab samples, irrespective of the disease severity and the used of medication ( Figure 1 ). We speculate that in older individuals, cell turnover is less robust and as such, clearance of virus from the nasopharynx is prolonged; these factors may lead to positive PCR tests that persist after acute disease has resolved.

  We investigated the sex-related differences in the occurrence of comorbidities and mortality rates in a nationwide study in 1522 consecutive patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia who were admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) for respiratory support. The differences between mortality rates in males and females cannot be explained by comorbidities, given the divergent trends in the occurrence of chronic illnesses that may worsen survival in COVID-19 patients.

  Severe acute respiratory syndrome in Taiwan: analysis of epidemiological characteristics in 29 cases

summary:
  Among the patients, 10 (34.5%) had been to hospitals with known SARS outbreak, 6 (20.7%) were healthcare workers, 4 (13.8%) were household contacts, 4 (13.8%) were unknown, 3 (10.3%) had recently traveled to mainland China or Hong Kong, and 2 (6.9%) had social contact with SARS patients. However, when seven cases of SARS were reported among healthcare workers at Hospital A on April 22, 2003 , the incidence of SARS cases in Taiwan increased dramatically.

  SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgA antibody response is gender dependent; and IgG antibodies rapidly decline early on

summary:
  Upon the first blood sampling (corresponding to the median of 5 weeks after the PCR test (95% CI 5-6 weeks)), 4·6%, 4·6% and 6·5% of participants have not developed measurable anti-SP IgG, anti-SP IgA or anti-NC IgG, respectively. We speculate that the overall course of anti-SP IgA (with no further decline despite IgG declining, Figure 1c ) as well as the sex specific differences with an early, pronounced peak in men and a subpopulation of men with significantly higher IgA titers than the remainder (figure 2c) may be the result of an ongoing infection, which needs further attention and clarification (previous work has shown that IgA has a protective role against influenza A 9 ).

The first stage is the outbreak period (December 31, 2019 to February 29, 2020), which entailed the period from the first detection of cases to the peak of the epidemic which saw a rapid increase in the number of confirmed cases, and to the time when the growth rate slowed down to less than 200 new confirmed cases per day.

  The existence of hyper-cytokinemia in COVID-19 patients with lymphopenia could indicate a poor control of the pathogen, as showed in severe patients infected with the 2009 Pandemic Influenza virus. As we recently reviewed in J Clin Med, endothelial dysfunction induces disassembly of intercellular junctions, endothelial cell death and blood-tissue barrier disruption, along with enhanced leukocyte adhesion and extravasation, which could contribute to explain the lymphopenia observed in severe COVID-19 patients [9] .

Both CD4+T and CD8+T counts significantly reduced in severe COVID-19 group compared with non-severe group [CD4+T (MD: -0.22×10 9 /L, 95%CI: -0.27 to -0.17×10 9 /L, I 2 =89%); CD8+T (MD: difference between two groups in CD4/CD8 ratio (MD: 0.17, 95%CI: -0.12 to 0.46, )

These results were likely due to the rapid action of the drug and the short median interval of 6 days from symptoms-onset and therapy starting, The major limitations of this pilot study were its open-label design with no randomization and the low number of treated patients.

summary:
  However, the estimated rate of this study (9.1%) simply suggest that influenza infection may be considerable among HCP during an influenza pandemic, with the data from several large centers rather than those of single centers. Therefore, these data show that there needs to be a higher level of suspicion for influenza infection and the easy availability of diagnostic tests during an influenza pandemic among HCP. HCP of a younger age or who have underlying chronic diseases were more frequently associated with ILI than those without.

  Pulmonary cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA shedding in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients: Implications for the diagnosis of CMV pneumonia

summary:
  The assessment of the performance of quantitative CMV DNA PCR testing for the diagnosis of CMV pneumonia faces several difficulties including: (i) the low incidence of this clinical event, (ii) the lack of a normalized procedure for CMV DNA PCR testing on BAL fluids, (iii) the non-negligible possibility of miscategorization of pneumonia cases as either being causally linked or unrelated to CMV when using BAL fluid specimens, or even lung tissue material, for CMV diagnosis, 8 (iv) the persistence of a large variability of CMV DNA loads provided by different real-time PCR assays, 31 -33 despite their calibration to the WHO International Standard for CMV DNA 24 and, as already mentioned, (v) the relegation of virological procedures for CMV detection in clinical specimens. In 41 episodes, CMV DNA BAL detection occurred in the face of an ongoing episode of CMV DNAemia (including two episodes that occurred in the setting of autopsy-proven CMV pneumonitis), and isolately in the remaining 15 episodes.

summary:
  Beyond viral entry, GRP78 can play a major role in viral protein synthesis and maturation (Table 1) . In addition to its role in viral protein folding, GRP78 upregulation during viral replication could protect the virus-infected host cells from undergoing apoptosis since GRP78 is known to bind and maintain the ER-associated apoptotic machineries in their inactive forms and exert pro-survival effects especially under ER stress 3 .

  Therefore it is conceivable that the presence of reduced airway IFN lambda response in HRV infected infants than in those with RSV infections could reflect the presence of a milder bronchiolititis clinical course caused by HRV compared to that associated to RSV. This analysis could allow us to deep understand the complex picture of the airway IFN lambda response as well as the intensity and the dynamic nature of the antiviral and inflammatory pathways associated to type III IFN response during pediatric lower respiratory tract infections.
