ABSTRACT
Molecular epidemiology allows us to know local HIV transmission and to design strategies of prevention. We studied 25 HIV newly diagnosed patients with the E138A mutation since the year 2010. Most transmission networks involved young and promiscuous men who have sex with men. Recent infection was only documented in patients grouped into the smaller clusters.

We report the first cases of human infection by Rickettsia felis in the Canary Islands. Antibodies against R. felis were found in 5 adsorbed serum samples from 44 patients with clinically suspected rickettsiosis by Western blot serology. Fleas from 1 patient's dog were positive for R. felis by polymerase chain reaction.

We report the first case of S. bovis bacteremia related to endoluminal colonization of a venous access port in a setting of advanced HIV infection, neutropenia and co-infection with HBV. The patient had no bowel abnormalities. The clinical picture was mild and was resolved by removal of the device.
