Clinical presentation and virological assessment of confirmed human monkeypox virus cases in Spain: a prospective observational cohort study

Eloy Jose Tarin-Vicente et al.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical and virological characteristics of cases of human monkeypox in Spain. The findings showed that monkeypox caused genital, perianal, and oral lesions and complications including proctitis and tonsillitis. Lesion swabs showed the highest viral loads, suggesting close contact as the dominant transmission route in the current outbreak.

Resource-efficient internally controlled in-house real-time PCR detection of SARS-CoV-2

Janine Michel et al.

Summary: The presented RKI/ZBS1 SARS-CoV-2 protocol offers a cost-effective alternative for detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA, especially when facing shortages of commercially available ready-to-use kits. By running two duplex real-time RT-PCR assays simultaneously, the protocol enables testing specimens in duplicate and increases testing capacity while saving reagents.
