**Note: the release below is a special early release from the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2022, Lisbon, 23-26 April ) . Please credit the conference if you use this story ** New research to be presented at this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2022, Lisbon, 23-26 April) shows that, although over time the number of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies falls in both previously infected and vaccinated patients, the performance of antibodies improves only after previous infection (and not vaccination). This difference could explain why previously infected patients appear to be better protected against a new infection than those who have only been vaccinated. The study, by Dr Carmit Cohen of the Sheba Medical Center, Ramat Gan, Israel, and colleagues, also found that, contrary to expectations, previously infected patients with obesity ...

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a highly contagious infection. It's caused by viruses from the Enterovirus genus, most commonly the coxsackievirus. These viruses can spread from person to person through direct contact with unwashed hands or surfaces contaminated with feces. It can also be transmitted through contact with a person's saliva, stool, or respiratory secretions. HFMD is characterized by blisters or sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet. The infection can affect people of all ages, but it usually occurs in children under age 5. It's generally a mild condition that goes away on its own within several days. Symptoms begin to develop 3 to 6 days after first getting the infection. This period is known as the incubation period. When symptoms do appear, you or your child may experience: A fever and sore throat are usually the first symptoms of HFMD. The characteristic blisters and rashes show up later, usually 1 or 2 days after the fever begins. T...

This highly contagious virus, which causes a rash and other symptoms, is common in summer and fall. It spreads easily in day care and swimming pools. Dr. Mike Patrick  |  Columbus Parent Q: I think my son may have hand-foot-mouth disease. Do I need to go to a doctor to receive treatment? A: Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common illness caused by a virus. It's most prevalent in children and usually occurs in summer and fall. The disease is spread from person to person through saliva and stool, especially during the first week of their illness. Symptoms, which often disappear in about a week, vary somewhat from one child to another. Parents should look for fever; headaches; sore throat; poor appetite; painful sores (ulcers) on the throat, tonsils and mouth; and a rash of very small blisters or red spots on the hands, feet, face and diaper area. The rash may be mildly itchy or painful if pressed. Hand, foot and mouth disease cannot be treated with antibiotics, ...

E. coli ( Escherichia coli ), is a type of bacteria that normally lives in your intestines. It's also found in the gut of some animals. Most types of E. coli are harmless and even help keep your digestive tract healthy. But some strains can cause diarrhea if you eat contaminated food or drink fouled water. While many of us associate E. coli with food poisoning, you can also get pneumonia and urinary tract infections from different types of the bacteria. In fact, 75% to 95% of urinary tract infections are caused by E. coli. E.coli is a normal resident of the bowel, which is how it makes it way to the urinary tract. Some versions of E. coli make you sick by making a toxin called Shiga. This toxin damages the lining of your intestine. The strains of E. coli that make the toxin are sometimes called STEC, which is short for "Shiga toxin-producing E. coli." One especially bad strain, O157:H7, can make you very sick. It causes abdominal cramps, vomiting, and bloody diar...

You felt under the weather with a mild fever and sore throat, but soldiered on with over-the-counter pain medicine. Now you've got a few pink spots dotting your hands. Where did they come from? The answer: From the same virus that caused your other symptoms. In hand, foot and mouth disease, coxsackievirus 16 is the usual suspect; less often, other enteroviruses are to blame. Advertising Policy Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center.

The name says it all — hand, foot and mouth disease typically develops as a rash on the hands and/or feet and sores in the mouth. "Hand, foot and mouth disease is a fairly common childhood illness, and one we see most often in summer and fall," said Dr. Sheila Fountain, a pediatrician in Steamboat Springs and a member of the medical staff at UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center. "While the course of the disease is usually benign, it does spread easily, so it's important to take steps so that doesn't happen." How it spreads Hand, foot and mouth disease is a virus spread through touching an infected person or an object the infected person has touched and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth. It can also be spread through contact with feces or fluid from blisters or via respiratory droplets and oral secretions. "It's most common in the child care setting because of the frequent number of diaper changes and the fact that little kid...

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg and their collaborators at the Max Planck Bristol Center for Minimal Biology at the University of Bristol have developed a new approach to study Sars-CoV-2. For systematic and standardized research of Sars-CoV-2 they built minimalistic synthetic virus particles where they can incorporate distinct structures of the Sars-CoV-2 virus like the spike protein. This allowed scientists to study single molecular mechanisms in a controlled setting, which they can further manipulate and tune. Using this technique to study the spike protein, which has been shown to be critical for virus-host interaction and infection, they discovered a switching mechanism. Upon binding of inflammatory fatty acids, the spike protein changes its conformation, thereby becoming less "visible" to the hosts immune system. The Sars-CoV-2 pandemic has been and is still one of the main global health concerns. Completely understanding Sars-C...

Babies can develop rashes due to heat, dampness, irritation, or allergens. It's common for babies to develop rashes such as eczema, heat rash, diaper rashes, or cradle cap.

The Samaritan's Purse DC-8 cargo plane airlifted more than 13 tons of critical medical supplies from the Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro to Ethiopia on Feb. 15. These supplies—including two anesthesia machines, an x-ray machine, and an ultrasound machine —were sent to the regional hospital in Mersa, which is the primary provider of medical care to some 350,000 people. A Samaritan's Purse press release said the hospital has been significantly impacted by violent internal conflict in the area and lacks the needed resources to effectively treat the sick and wounded. It's in the Amhara region.  "The situation in Ethiopia is heartbreaking. Many innocent people are caught in the conflict, and local healthcare facilities are unable to serve their patients because of a lack of resources," said Franklin Graham, pres...
