Francesca Torriani, MD, infectious disease specialist at UC San Diego Health available to discuss importance of vaccination against influenza.
Despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warning this year will be potentially dangerous for respiratory illnesses, a third of Americans are not concerned about the threat, according to a new national survey by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
The current flu season has started later and more gradually than last year, according to William Schaffner, MD, professor of Preventive Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), although cases are expected to begin increasing in November before falling off in March.
Simon Fraser University researchers studying the evolutionary history of flu viruses have found that a new quantitative analysis of how they evolved may help predict future strains.
As the seasons transition from warm fall nights to cool and wintry evenings, children with asthma often experience a rise in wheezing or chest tightness, because weather changes and cold temperatures are often asthma triggers.
The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is hosting an expert briefing for the media from 2:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EDT, Thursday, October 12, on how to take steps to stay healthy as COVID and RSV cases climb and flu season approaches.
The new COVID-19 EG.5 variant is responsible for around 22% of current cases. The World Health Organization has classified it as a “variant of interest,” meaning countries should monitor it more closely than other strains — and cases have only increased in the past few weeks. Peter Gulick is an expert on infectious diseases, and he provides insight on what this new variant could mean and what you should know.
Cases of COVID-19 are up since this summer, and a new vaccine is available. A Penn State Health infectious disease expert offers the latest on the pandemic.
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Vaccine Research Center have developed an improved way to test potential vaccines against bird flu. The report was published this week in the journal iScience.
A Rutgers infectious disease expert explains what you need to know about this year’s flu, COVID and new RSV shots
As cities brace for a confluence of flu, COVID-19, pneumonia, and RSV infections this fall, the American Thoracic Society announced that five new health systems have partnered with the Society to improve vaccination rates.
Researchers from Trinity College Dublin have discovered some new and surprising ways that viral RNA and influenza virus are detected by human lung cells, which has potential implications for treating people affected by such viruses.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital scientists found that immune cells present in individuals long before influenza infection predict whether the illness is symptomatic.
Mount Sinai study among the first to show that drugs targeting the lung, rather than bacteria, may prevent staph infection in flu patients
Researchers demonstrate that among individuals who were admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 and were discharged alive, the risk of post-discharge death was nearly twice that observed in those who were discharged alive from an influenza-related hospital admission.
Researchers from University of British Columbia and Michigan State University have invented a system that can quickly and inexpensively detect airborne viruses using the same technology that enables high-speed trains.
Given their research indicating public health suffers when a professional sports team makes its home in a new city, West Virginia University economists are asking whether publicly funded subsidies for sports arenas make sense.
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital showed that fixed mutations within a viral population most likely stem from how easy it is to acquire that mutation (i.e., mutation accessibility) rather than just its benefit.
Today, at the 2023 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, scientists will present new data about rates of co-infections with SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in the United States.
