Objective: To discuss the advancements in parasite detection through metagenomic tools and their implications for both parasitology diagnostics and public healt
Omics technologies enhance parasite detection by overcoming limitations of traditional methods like microscopy and targeted PCR assays.
Shotgun metagenomics enables simultaneous detection of multiple microorganisms, including low-abundance parasites often missed by conventional tests.
Metagenomics supports longitudinal monitoring of parasitic infections, revealing consistent positivity in individuals over extended periods.
Challenges in implementing metagenomics include establishing standardized workflows and ensuring high-quality reference genomes for rare parasites.
Metagenomics offers opportunities for population-level surveillance, linking geographic differences in parasite prevalence to lifestyle and health factors.

Pulmonary mucormycosis is a severe fungal infection with a high mortality rate, often affecting immunocompromised patients, particularly those with diabetes.
The study analyzed 16 patients, revealing common symptoms such as cough, fever, and chest pain, with bronchial involvement in 68.75% of cases.
Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis in 12 patients, while others were classified as probable cases based on clinical and imaging findings.
Combination therapy, including systemic antifungals and bronchoscopic debridement, was associated with favorable outcomes, with a 12-month survival rate of 81.25%.
Early diagnosis and treatment are critical, as pulmonary mucormycosis often presents with nonspecific symptoms that can lead to delays in care.
Objective: To quantify the independent association of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) with in-hospital mortality in a large HIV-negative tuberculous meningitis
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) occurred in 13.8% of 1,574 hospitalized non-HIV patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM).
DILI was independently associated with an 8.5-fold increased risk of in-hospital mortality in TBM patients, with consistent results across various analyses.
The median time from the initiation of anti-tuberculosis treatment to DILI onset was 23 days, indicating a significant delay before liver injury manifests.
Adding DILI to mortality risk models improved predictive accuracy, increasing the area under the curve from 0.661 to 0.805.
The study suggests a potential age-related modification in the DILI-mortality association, warranting further investigation into age-specific effects.
