“…To date, 18 articles have reported G. vaginalis infections in men. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Notably, destruction of the genitourinary tract is considered one of the predisposing factors for G. vaginalis urinary tract infections. 22,23,25 In addition, the prostate is also considered a bacterial reservoir of G. vaginalis, 12,16,19,20 while inflammation caused by prostate adenoma has been shown to promote passage of the body in the blood.…”

“…28 Additional reports have also shown that sepsis is a common complication. 18,[20][21][22]27,28 The first reported case of G. vaginalis causing lung abscess, considering the aspiration bronchopneumonia caused by Gardnerella vaginalis with abscesses and signs of sepsis, although the infection route was not ultimately confirmed. 15 In another case, G. vaginalis was detected in the patient's alveolar lavage fluid, considering that the pathogen is likely to be able to attach to the lung epithelium, in a similar fashion to the way it attaches to the vaginal epithelium.…”

Gardnerella vaginalis is a pathogen responsible for bacterial vaginosis, which is commonly found in female vaginas and rarely causes infections outside the female genitalia. Here, we report the use of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) to detect and confirm pulmonary infection and pleural effusion caused by G. vaginalis in a 47-year-old man. The patient's symptoms and imaging improved after 2 weeks of oral ornidazole, and he was cured after 3 months. Overall, the findings of this case demonstrate that mNGS is a useful tool for diagnosis of unexplained lung infections and pleural effusions. Its effectiveness in rapid and accurate etiological diagnosis and monitoring of diseases can allow detection of the etiology of difficult cases that return negative results after traditional cultures.

COVID -19 is a harmful virus. It is caused by SARS-CoV2 that is Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Coronaviridae is the family to which it belongs. The study report says that SARS will also lead to complications such as MERS that is middle east respiratory syndrome. Worship places should be cleaned frequently if people are allowed to enter the holy places during the pandemic situation. The aim of the study is to find out whether COVID-19 patients attending religious gatherings lead to communal riots or not. A surveybased study consisting of self structured questionnaires was prepared and circulated through social networking. The results were collected and then analysed through SPSS software. Descriptive statistical analysis was carried out and chi square test was used and p value was calculated. From the results obtained, we came to know that COVID-19 patients attending religious gatherings will pave the mark for the communal riots and people should avoid contact with the devotional objects and avoid contact with people attending religious faith services. Therefore we conclude that COVID 19 patients attending religious gatherings will be marked by the communal riots.
