Updated EULAR recommendations for children with pedAIIRD

People with autoimmune or auto-inflammatory rheumatic diseases have an increased risk of infections. This can be due to the underlying disease itself, or may be caused by treatment with immunomodulating or immunosuppressive drugs.

Research shows in real time how immune memory cells are stored in the bone marrow

Vaccines work their magic by effectively creating immune cells that are long lived, often for over decades.

When monkeypox reaches rural communities, it collides with strained public health systems

When a case of monkeypox was reported in Nevada's Humboldt County in August, it was the state's first detected occurrence of the virus in a rural area. Soon, cases were found in other rural counties — Nye, Lyon, and Elko — posing another hurdle for public health systems that have been worn thin by the covid-19 pandemic.

Study sheds new light on the risk of rare blood-clotting condition after covid-19 vaccination

A study published by The BMJ today sheds further light on the risk of developing a very rare blood-clotting condition known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) after vaccination against the covid-19 virus.

Is vaccine status associated with the severity of Omicron SARS-CoV-2 infection in hospitalized patients?

Researchers assessed the impact of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination on the occurrence and severity of symptoms in SARS-CoV-2 Omicron-infected hospitalized patients.

Effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in preventing hospitalizations among immunocompromised adults

Researchers investigated the efficacy of monovalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in immunocompromised adults during the Omicron dominance period starting December 2021.

A novel approach for viral genomic surveillance

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers in the United States explored a novel technique to improve representation in viral genomic surveillance.

FebriDX point-of-care immunoassay can rapidly determine if an infection is bacterial or viral

Researchers explore whether FebriDx could differentiate between bacteria- and virus-induced immune responses during acute respiratory infection.

Adaptive immune responses in adults of various ages receiving 2 doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine

Researchers assessed the correlation between immunosenescence and poor COVID-19 vaccination outcomes in older adults.

Analgesic use after COVID-19 vaccination does not negatively affect antibody responses

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, University of Arizona researchers assessed the relationship between antibody responses and analgesic usage after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination.

20 Oct 2022

Breakthrough infection risk and immune responses to vaccines associated with human leukocyte antigen alleles

Researchers from the U.K. used data from clinical trials of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 to understand the genetic factors contributing to the individual variations in the antibody responses to the vaccine.
