The situation with COVID-19 is constantly evolving, and there is an extraordinary amount of information circulating which can be both overwhelming and difficult to navigate.
Schools are issuing restrictions around attendance after travel overseas due to coronavirus. Here's how to prepare your kids against the spread of infectious disease on their return to school.
Perth researchers are leading an international clinical trial focused on preventing the spread of COVID-19 by testing the effectiveness of the drug interferon in reducing the infectiousness of people who contract the virus.
We aimed to assess and identify any gaps in antimicrobial stewardship resources and activities for all hospitalised children in Australia pre- and post- the COVID-19 pandemic
Non-coercive 'nudge' interventions have shown the potential to promote health behaviours. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of nudge interventions on COVID-19/influenza vaccine uptake among children with medically at-risk conditions.
Global rates of invasive Group A Streptococcus (iGAS) disease surged from September 2022, exceeding pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, showing atypical seasonality and disproportionately affecting children. We previously described the epidemiology of iGAS among Australian children from mid-2018 to end 2022 using data from the Paediatric Active Enhanced Diseases network and here provide updated clinical epidemiology for 2023 and 2024 to help inform public health strategies.
Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), or long COVID, are a public health concern. While most recover from SARS-CoV-2 infections within weeks, some experience persistent symptoms. Here, we quantified the association between repeated SARS-CoV-2 infections and the risk of hospital-diagnosed PASC.
