Iterum Therapeutics has launched Orlynvah, the first oral penem antibiotic approved in the US for uncomplicated urinary tract infections, addressing growing antibiotic resistance.
Kidney-transplant recipients on long-term kidney replacement therapy demonstrate significant reductions in COVID-19-related hospitalizations and mortality following three or more vaccine doses, supporting booster vaccinations in this vulner
Recent rhinovirus infection may nearly halve COVID-19 risk and reduce viral load by triggering airway antiviral gene expression, partially explaining children’s milder COVID-19 outcomes.
A recent Irish study reveals that 6 in 10 healthcare workers with respiratory symptoms test for COVID-19, while vaccination coverage remains low, highlighting ongoing risks and the need for enhanced infection control and vaccination strateg
Observational data from the RECOVER Initiative suggest that SARS-CoV-2 reinfection raises the risk of long COVID by 35% relative to single infections, with more recent vaccination potentially mitigating this risk.
COVID-19 accelerates vascular aging by approximately 5 years, disproportionately affecting women, with vaccination conferring protection primarily in females, highlighting sex-specific immunological responses and long-term vascular risks.
The Stratus variant, known as XFG, now dominates COVID-19 cases in the U.S., complicating recovery efforts amidst rising infections and changing vaccine guidance.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends COVID-19 vaccination for all young children aged 6-23 months, diverging from current CDC policies that advise shared decision-making for healthy children. This review analyzes epidemiologic data
Sulopenem demonstrates noninferior efficacy to amoxicillin/clavulanate in treating uncomplicated UTI with a higher rate of mild adverse events, amidst rising antimicrobial resistance challenges.
A phase 4 randomized trial demonstrates that combining rabies monoclonal antibody with vaccine in category 3 exposures is safe, immunogenic, and effective in preventing rabies up to one year post-exposure.
A Nature paper shows influenza and SARS‑CoV‑2 lung infections can reactivate dormant disseminated breast cancer cells (DCCs) via IL‑6 and CD4+ T‑cell–mediated mechanisms, with concordant human data linking SARS‑CoV‑2 infection to higher can
Laboratory evolution shows copper exposure can select for antibiotic cross-resistance in Escherichia coli, but resistance may reverse quickly after copper withdrawal — supporting strategic, time-limited use and surveillance of copper-based
A major Vietnamese tertiary hospital study reveals substantial incremental costs and lengths of stay associated with antimicrobial-resistant ESKAPE pathogens, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A 38-year-old woman suffered a serious brain infection after consuming leftover refrigerated watermelon contaminated with Listeria. This article explains the risks of Listeria, symptoms, and prevention tips to ensure food safety.
An overview of common infectious diseases during summer, their symptoms, transmission, and preventive measures to protect public health.
A phase 2 trial in South Africa shows that the M72/AS01E-4 TB vaccine is safe and immunogenic for virally suppressed, ART-treated HIV-positive adolescents and adults, supporting its potential to address a key unmet clinical need.
Long COVID is keeping millions of workers out of the workforce, with significant barriers to compensation and treatment. Standardized diagnostics, validated therapies, and regulatory reforms are urgently needed to support affected individua
A pioneering study demonstrates that visual cues of infection in virtual reality can trigger real immune activation, revealing a rapid neural-immune interface with potential implications for medicine, psychology, and vaccine development.
A multicenter study in Japan found that adequate daptomycin dosing significantly improves clinical outcomes in pediatric patients, while adverse events can occur regardless of renal function.
