@CDCgov @WHO this is a worrisome @ceirsinfluenza @florian_krammer thread. Any colleagues in the US that could follow up?

Six injections a year instead of daily pills. Could long-acting HIV treatment change care in Africa?
In a new blog, Dr @cresswell_fiona explores findings from the IMPALA trial and the challenges of making injectable HIV treatment accessible to those who need it most.

Stroke in a 12 year old caused by a respiratory adenovirus (serotype B3) nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NE…
I think we will come to see adenovirus as a preventable cause of (some cases of) stroke in the future, as VZV also seems to be.

As a medical student in Mozambique, studying hypoglycaemia in children with malaria, I saw first-hand how research can lead to discoveries with real-world impact. But the UK’s clinical research workforce is declining just as patient need is rising.

The dogma that viruses like TTV or HPgV are totally harmless should be questioned - even minor reactivation of viruses that directly interfere with innate immune responses cannot be all that good for you. Hard to separate from immune perturbation for other reasons though.
Severe Covid leads to persistent viral reactivation, with >10 different viruses noted in the first 40 days after hospital admission.
Long Covid was specifically associated with reactivation of latent Anelloviridae virus
Work based on 1,154 patients in 20 centers and >200,000 samples

Important new research published in The Lancet Neurology adds to the evidence that meaningful recovery remains possible for some patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis, even after prolonged unconsciousness.

I’m not a BMA member, but this statement is one I support: Reducing funding for clinical academics when numbers are already in decline fails to recognise their contribution to the health & wealth of the UK.
The financial saving is minimal but I fear the costs will be substantial

Difficult to know what the trajectory will be for the months to come, but this growth rate should be of significant concern to all and trigger calls for much stronger efforts to reduce transmission in the DRC. I am sure hindsight will favour overreaction more than underreaction.

After having consulted the #DRC and #Uganda where the #Ebola disease caused by Bundibugyo virus is known to be currently occurring, I determine that the epidemic constitutes a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), as defined in the provisions of IHR.
