Clinical features of several respiratory infections(community-acquired pneumonia, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, and diseases caused by parasites) in patients with human T-cell lymphotropic virus-1(HTLV-1) infection has been analyzed. In addition, endoscopic findings of Strongiloides infection, clinical features of non-tuberculosis mycobacterial infection, epidemiological molecular analysis of Legionella pneumonia, and clinical features of several infectious diseases associated with HIV infection has been analyzed in the Okinawa main island.
Epidemiological analysis of influenza viral infection has been analyzed during the outbreak of the pandemic H1N1 2009 viral infection. in addition, we collected many severe cases with influenza viral infections and clinical characteristics of severe influenza viral infection has been described.
