VZV CNS disease analysis
We are carrying a subgroup analysis for the VZV CNS disease through ID-IRI community acquired CNS infections database (The burden and epidemiology of community-acquired central nervous system infections: a multinational study. Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis. 2017 Sep;36(9):1595-1611). We will hopefully distribute the results soon.

“Prediction of unfavorable outcomes in cryptococcal meningitis: Results of multicenter ID-IRI cryptococcal meningitis study” with the participation of 26 centers from 11 countries is accepted for publication in the European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases. Many thanks to all contributers.
CNS infections without CSF pleocytosis
ID-IRI study analyzing “Central nervous system infections in the absence of cerebrospinal pleocytosis” is accepted for publication in International Journal of Infectious Diseases. The article is freely accessible at the journal’s website.
Info for 3 multicenter ID-IRI studies.
- The analysis of neurosyphilis cases: Data analysis is finished and currently we are writing the paper. We will distribute the manuscript to the participant centers within a couple of weeks.
- HIV stigmata and discrimination survey: The data analysis continues but it is about to be finished. We will inform on the process
- ID-IRI cryptococcal meningitis study: We have just submitted the paper elsewhere
