Abstract: The prevalence of arrhythmias varies in COVID-19. In a study of 138 patients from Wuhan, who were hospitalized with COVID-19 related pneumonia, arrhythmias were reported in 17% of the general cohort and in 44% of patients admitted to an intensive care unit. A subgroup of patients with severe COVID-19 has a cytokine storm syndrome. Secondary Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) is an under-recognized, hyper-inflammatory syndrome characterized by a fulminant and fatal hypercytokinaemia with multi-organ failure. In adults, sHLH is most commonly triggered by viral infections.

Abstract: Between 1 and 2% of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients develop a devastating acute systemic inflammatory syndrome with predominantly pulmonary expression. Clinical data, analytical findings and the few pathological references we have so far suggest SARS-CoV-2 lung disease could be a secondary interferonopathy with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP)- like features and sometimes thrombotic microangiopathy.

Abstract: In Uganda malaria poses a formidable burden to an over-stretched and under-funded public health system trying to cope with other pressing health problems like HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. Our earlier work on asexual blood stage malaria vaccine candidate merozoite surface protein (MSP119) provided a novel means of assessing antibody quality using altered proteins as well as ELISA competition assays with mouse monoclonal antibodies of known specificities.
