Since last December 2019, a syndrome of severe pneumonia associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. It is highly contagious and rapidly spread to many other parts of China and almost all countries all over the world, representing one of the most

The COVID-19 pandemic (Coronavirus Disease-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) has caused more that 10 million infections worldwide, with a general mortality of 6%. Multiple studies have found that the hyperinflammatory immune response induced by SARS-CoV-2 is

In early December 2019, several pneumonia cases of unknown origin were observed in Wuhan (China). A novel enveloped RNA β coronavirus was isolated and named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV- 2). The new virus rapidly spread across China and worldwide. On March 11th 2020, the

Background and Rationale: T cells play a critical role in antiviral immunity, their level was dramatically reduced in COVID-19 patients. There is a negative correlation between T cell numbers and cytokines serum level in COVID-19 patients. In those patients, there is up-regulation of inflammatory

Research Background and Rationale At the end of December 2019, pneumonia of unknown origin was detected in the hospitals of Wuhan city, China, and reported to the WHO country office for the first time [1-3]. After a few days, the Chinese government has confirmed the human-to-human transmission of

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the feasibility and tolerability of administering ibrutinib in COVID-19 infected patients and determining the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). (Phase Ib) II. To determine whether ibrutinib administration (Arm A) in cancer patients can diminish the need for

In December, 2019, an outbreak of pneumonia with unknown cause occurred in Wuhan city, in China. On January 7th, the scientists succeeded to isolate a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). WHO nominated it as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in February,

Between 30 and 50% of patients who contract COVID 19 will be asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic. This fact will not give rise to the consult, and will directly affect a notorious sub-registration of the cases. The second, even more disturbing, premise is that these patients are as contagious as the

INTRODUCTION Warts are common skin conditions resulting from infection of keratinocytes by human papillomavirus (HPV). After infection of the basal layer, there is clonal proliferation leading to epidermal thickening and hyperkeratinization and eventually results in a visible wart. HPVs are

COVID-19 has a wide clinical spectrum ranging between asymptomatic infection, mild upper respiratory tract symptoms, and severe viral pneumonia that may result in respiratory failure and finally death. There is currently no clinically proven specific antiviral agent available for SARS-CoV-2

Severe respiratory failure and multi-organ damage in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients have not a unitary pathophysiological interpretation. There is evidence of an association between the clinical entity of the disease and its severity with the plasma levels of D-dimer and inflammatory

PML is a devastating orphan disease of the CNS due to the reactivation of JCV in immunocompromised patients. Given the lack of drugs controlling JCV replication, initiation of antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected patients or cessation of immunosuppressive therapies in others, and subsequent

Chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB) affected 292 million individuals in the world in 2016 according to the Polaris Observatory estimation, translating to about 3.9% global prevalence. Up to 40% of patients with CHB will develop liver-related complications and there were 890,000 deaths from these
