Gram-negative central line-associated bloodstream infection incidence peak during the summer: a national seasonality cohort study.
examined the associations between CLABSI pathogens and ambient temperature and relative humidity. The study population included 104 hospital sites comprising 11,239 CLABSI. Regression analysis identified ...
Reliable and Scalable SARS-CoV-2 qPCR Testing at a High Sample Throughput: Lessons Learned from the Belgian Initiative.
Capron; Hugues Malonne; J Poels; Emmanuel André Source: Life (Basel), Volume 12, Issue 2 (2022) Abstract: We present our approach to rapidly establishing a standardized, multi-site, nation-wide COVID-19 ...
Evaluation of dog vaccination schemes against rabies in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
site. The turnover rate of dogs was used to assess their population dynamics in two low-roaming (<25 % of dogs are roaming) and in two high-roaming zones (>75 % of dogs are roaming). The ...
Tick-borne diseases in Belgium: The incidence and economic burden of Lyme borreliosis and the occurrence of other tick-borne infections
expanding rash at the site of the tick bite. If left untreated, the infection can disseminate, causing more severe disease. In addition, patients may report persisting non-specific symptoms after treatment, ...
An infrared spectroscopic approach to characterise white powders, easily applicable in the context of drug checking, drug prevention and on-site analysis
summer music festivals, are considering the possibilities for implementing on-site testing of psychoactive drugs in the context of prevention and harm reduction. Although the on-site identification ...
Development of vibrational spectroscopic methods combined with chemometrics for the detection and quantification of nicotine in e-liquids.
nicotine-containing e-liquids via the internet. The ban on long-distance sale implies that postal packages containing e-liquids are checked at customs. Furthermore, there is a demand of vapeshop-inspectors for on-site ...
Molecular and virological characterization of the first poultry outbreaks of Genotype VII.2 velogenic avian orthoavulavirus type 1 (NDV) in North-West Europe, BeNeLux, 2018.
polybasic sequence of the fusion gene cleavage site and the intracerebral pathotyping assay demonstrated the high pathogenicity of the strain. This paper represents the first notification of this specific ...
Coverage of the national surveillance system for human Salmonella infections, Belgium, 2016-2020.
culture-independent diagnostic tests (CIDT s) at the level of peripheral laboratory sites, as a potential threat to national public health surveillance programs. RESULTS: The coverage of the NRC surveillance system was ...
Whole-Genome Sequencing-Based Antimicrobial Resistance Characterization and Phylogenomic Investigation of 19 Multidrug-Resistant and Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Positive Escherichia coli Strains Collected From Hospital Patients in Benin in 2019.
producing constitutes a serious threat to global public health. Surgical site infections are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates in developing countries, fueled by the limited availability of ...
HPV DNA genotyping, HPV E6*I mRNA detection, and p16INK4a/Ki-67 staining in Belgian head and neck cancer patient specimens, collected within the HPV-AHEAD study
DNA-negatives of the other HNC-sites were tested for the presence of type-specific HPV RNA and p16 over-expression. RESULTS: The highest HPV DNA prevalence was observed in OPC (36.4 %), and was significantly ...
