Fly drones
for Labor Berlin

The use of drones is expected to significantly reduce the transport time for particularly time-critical samples between individual hospital sites and Labor Berlin’s central laboratory. Initiators Labor Berlin and Matternet are thus laying the foundation for the first inner-city BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) network for the delivery of medical materials through the air.

  • Gut microbiota dysbiosis is associated with altered tryptophan metabolism and dysregulated inflammatory response in COVID-19

    09.08.24| Staff from the Departments of Microbiology, Virology & Immunology, together with researchers from Charité, were able to use metagenome, metabolome, cytokine and transcriptome profiling of hospitalised COVID-19 patients compared to uninfected control subjects to identify associated changes in the microbiome and metabolome as a contribution to inflammatory dysregulation in COVID-19. For example, severe disease progression is associated with the loss of beneficial gut microbes and disturbances in the oropharyngeal microbiome were due to antibiotic use. Reduced concentrations of various metabolites in the blood were associated with a depletion of certain bacterial species in the gut, while higher concentrations were associated with an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines. The study results provide a basis for understanding the role of the microbiome in other types of severe infections.

  • Clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic granulomatous disease

    05.07.24 | In a recent publication, members of the Department of Immunology provide a comprehensive overview of the congenital immunodeficiency of chronic granulomatosis (CGD), which is caused by an impaired respiratory burst reaction of phagocytes. The authors provide a comprehensive description of the molecular pathomechanism and state-of-the-art flow cytometric diagnostics for individual characterization and treatment selection in this X-linked or autosomal recessive disease, which is associated with an increased risk of severe bacterial and fungal infections. Apart from prophylactic antibiotics and immunosuppressive therapies to control excessive autoinflammatory reactions, allogeneic stem cell transplantation or gene therapies are the only curative options.

  • SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test sensitivity and viral load in newly symptomatic hospital employees in Berlin, Germany, December, 2020 to February, 2022: an observational study

    07.06.24 | Employees of the Department of Virology, together with clinicians from Charité, have examined the performance of antigen-based rapid tests (Ag-RDT) in symptomatic hospital employees with regard to various SARS-CoV-2 variants and immunization status in 7,675 employees of Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin. It was found that the sensitivity of Ag-RDT was higher in immunologically naive individuals (82%) than in multiply immunized individuals (73%) and that the sensitivity decreased over time due to changing dominant virus variants and increasing vaccination rates. Despite higher SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations, the increased population immunity led to reduced clinical Ag-RDT sensitivity.

  • Blood calprotectin as a biomarker for infection and sepsis – the prospective CASCADE trial

    17.05.24 | In a prospective clinical study involving 395 patients in the emergency room, staff from the Department of Laboratory Medicine and clinicians from Charité determined the biomarker calprotectin, which is released by white blood cells (neutrophil granulocytes) in the event of a bacterial infection. The so-called ROC value (maximum 1.0) of calprotectin for the detection of bacterial infections was 0.90 (in diabetics even 0.94), for the detection of sepsis within 72 hours 0.83 and for the prediction of 30-day mortality 0.78. The results show that the serum biomarker calprotectin can be helpful in detecting bacterial infections, assessing their severity and predicting clinical deterioration.
