Prepandemic levels of cytokines and immunoglobulins and risk of Sars-CoV-2 infection and Covid-19 in the general population of Barcelona
Background From a public health perspective it is remarkable that there are yet no longitudinal studies in the general population investigating the influence of the basal immune state, measured before the pandemic, on the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19. Objective To investigate the specific and combined effects of personal levels of cytokines and immunoglobulins—measured in individuals’ blood 4 years before the pandemic—on the risk of …
Stability of cytokine and immunoglobulin concentrations in the general population
Background: While there is wide evidence on concentrations of cytokines in patients attending health care facilities, evidence is scant on physiological, basal concentrations of cytokines in the general population and across sociodemographic groups, as well as on their potential stability over time. Furthermore, from a public health perspective it is remarkable that no studies have analyzed intraindividual changes in such concentrations from befo…
Wherever there is poverty – active and passive case finding to address neglect of noma in Mozambique
INTRODUCTION: Noma is a rapidly progressing, disfiguring orofacial necrotising infection that primarily affects children living in poverty. To date, there are no primary data reporting noma in Mozambique. Our aim was to collect empirical evidence on the ongoing presence of noma in Zambezia Province, Mozambique, for the first time. METHODS: We used a passive case search approach at the maxillofacial and paediatric wards of the reference hospital t…

Making sense of emerging evidence on the non-specific effects of the BCG vaccine on malaria risk and neonatal mortality
Vaccines are, indisputably, one of the greatest public health interventions, with a substantial positive impact on child survival. The remarkable declines in child mortality observed during the last quarter of a century, whereby global under 5 deaths were essentially halved, go hand in hand with the estimated 2–3 million child deaths prevented by vaccines annually.1 The premise for this is clear: vaccines directly prevent a variety of life-threat…
