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...

Performance analysis of models used to predict failure in secondary school
Jordão, Sofia; Durães, Dalila; Novais, PauloAccording to data made available by Pordata for the year 2021, about 8.3% of medium school students in Portuguese schools fail or drop out of the educational system, another 9.8% of students in this situation are still in basic education. Since education is one of the pillars of a country’s development, it is important to understand the reasons behind these statistics and discover what leads students to such fa...
Actinomyces and Lung: A Rare Association
Cabrita, Bruno; Vaz, Ana Paula; Correia de Abreu, R.; Jordão, Sofia; Correia, Sílvia; Ferreira, JorgeIntroduction: Actinomycosis is a chronic bacterial infec- tion that rarely affects the respiratory system. Lung infection usually develops after aspiration of oropharyngeal or gastrointestinal secretions. Typically, it presents with pneumonia, lung abscess or empyema, and the most common radiologic presentation is a pulmonary mass, simulating a tumour. Adequate treatment requires prolonged antibiotic therapy to...
A rare cause of vertebral osteomyelitis: the first case report of rat-bite feve...
Pena, Eduarda; Jordão, Sofia; Simões, Maria João; Oleastro, Mónica; Neves, IsabelRat-bite fever is a rarely diagnosed illness caused by Streptobacillus moniliformis . Although this disease is distributed worldwide, there have been few cases reported in Europe. Here, we report a case of vertebral osteomyelitis and sternoclavicular septic arthritis caused by S. moniliformis in a Portuguese patient previously bitten by a rat. Laboratory diagnosis was performed using molecular identification. T...
