Viral genetic clustering and transmission dynamics of the 2022 mpox outbreak in...
Borges, Vítor; Duque, Mariana Perez; Martins, João Vieira; Vasconcelos, Paula; Ferreira, Rita; Sobral, Daniel; Pelerito, Ana; de Carvalho, Isabel LopesPathogen genome sequencing during epidemics enhances our ability to identify and understand suspected clusters and investigate their relationships. Here, we combine genomic and epidemiological data of the 2022 mpox outbreak to better understand early viral spread, diversification and transmission dynamics. By sequencing 52% of the confirmed cases in Portugal, we identified the mpox virus sublineages with the hi...

Non-Biologic Systemic Therapies Associated Infections in Dermatology: How to Pr...
Casanova, Sara; Vasconcelos, Joana; Miranda, Ana Cláudia; Mansinho, Kamal; Fernandes, CândidaThe infectious risk associated with biological therapy is well studied today and screening and prophylaxis strategies have been stablished. However, this may not be true for systemic steroids or DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) such as methotrexate and cyclosporine, even after long term use. The dose and duration of therapy with systemic steroids are related to the occurrence of opportunistic inf...
