  • COVID-19: Duration of Shedding of Transmissible Virus

    Patients with COVID-19 were found, by culture, to shed replication-competent virus after an initial PCR test for median durations of four to five days.

  • COVID-19 Rebound

    Symptomatic and virologic recrudescence after treatment of patients with COVID-19 with Paxlovid occurs in a tiny percentage of patients and generally is mild and self-limited.

  • Monkeypox Spread to 29 Non-Endemic Nations Unprecedented

    COVID-19 has become a North American zoonosis endemic in the Northeastern white-tailed deer population.

Now that infection has become established in this animal group, it likely will spread easily.

  • Pediatric Malaria

    Malaria is present in all continents except Antarctica and has led to significant human illness and death. Children account for the majority of malaria deaths globally, making malaria a significant contributor to childhood mortality worldwide. Malaria is a mandatory consideration for children with fever who are returned travelers, since the dis­ease process can lead to significant mortality and rapid clinical decline. The authors provide an update and current state of care for malaria in the pediatric population.
