New comment in The Lancet Microbe New #dengue #vaccine for UK travellers: recommended only for those with a previous infection www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... #IDSky #ViroSky #ClinMicro #OpenAccess #OA

Advice for clinicians
•
Confirm acute dengue infection by sending EDTA (edetic acid) and serum samples to RIPL for serology and PCR analysis
•
Counsel the affected individuals regarding the risk of secondary or severe dengue infection
•
Inform regarding the upcoming availability of the vaccine via private prescription
•
Explain the need to present early before travel to ensure sufficient time for serological testing (wherever necessary) and for the administration of two doses of Qdenga over 3 months
•
Convey the fact that dengue vaccination does not negate the need for avoiding insect bites

On this day in 1981, a landmark paper in NEJM described four patients with evidence of immunodeficiency associated with PJP pneumonia, disseminated CMV, and Kaposi sarcoma. The disease would come to be known as HIV/AIDS. Revisit the paper: nej.md/41iekKD #MedSky #IDSky

Published on This Day in 1981.
Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia and Mucosal Candidiasis in Previously Healthy Homosexual Men — Evidence of a New Acquired Cellular Immunodeficiency

2/2 I find the association between HHV-6 and DRESS fascinating as it may help explain why patients with DRESS present in a fashion similar to mononucleosis. Both can have: ➤ Fever ➤ Lymphadenopathy ➤ Rash ➤ Acute liver injury ➤ Atypical lymphocytosis…
