Improving Influenza Vaccination Coverage in the Pediatric Asthma Population: The Case for Combined Methodologies.
Authors: Murphy EV Abstract The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends annual influenza vaccine for pediatric asthma patients. Despite considerable risk for influenza complications in pediatric asthma patients, including hospitalization and death, influenza vaccination among children with asthma remains low, especially among low-income pediatric asthma patients. Multiple interventions have been attempted to increase immunization in the pediatric asthma population, including recall and reminders, parent/patient education, and physician education. More recently, information technology methods have be...

Four out of ten Brits may naturally show fewer flu symptoms
ConclusionA study of 1,414 unvaccinated people showed those with T cells targeting virus nucleoprotein still got infected by flu, but had fewer symptoms. The logic is that people with fewer symptoms are less likely to spread the virus through coughs and sneezes, which may slow the spread of both seasonal and pandemic flu strains.This is plausible, but was not directly tested in this study, so we don't know if it's true in real life. The research team suggested vaccines that boost T cell numbers might be worth exploring, as an alternative to those that try to stop virus infection altogether. An added potential benefit of th...

Child care centers rarely require flu vaccination for children or their caregivers
(Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society) Influenza can be especially dangerous for children, who are at greater risk for serious complications from the illness, including hospitalization and even death. Yet child care centers in the US rarely require children or the adults who care for them to be vaccinated against flu, according to a new study published in the Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society.

Influenza management with new therapies
We examined both pharmacological and supportive treatment strategies currently available to see how they might be applied in an ICU setting. Recent findings Supportive care in Influenza centres around optimizing respiratory failure, particularly through well established and recognized ventilatory strategies. Noninvasive ventilation and high-flow nasal oxygen may have a limited role in selected patients under carefully monitored circumstances. Drug therapy exerts only a modest clinical effect and has been poorly studied in the critically ill, though there is some evidence to support the use of neuraminidase inhibitors (N...

Intensive Care Units: at the Frontline of Infectious Disease
Abstract Although intensive care unit (ICU) clinicians have long been at the frontline of critical care, delegates to the 34th International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (ISICEM) learned that these physicians are now also contributing to pandemic preparedness following the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic in 2009. ICUs continue to be responsible for managing the adverse effects of other serious infectious complications, such as candidiasis and aspergillosis. Both can be difficult to diagnose, but early initiation of therapy is essential for optimizing outcomes. Since patients outside the ICU may b...

Survey of Immunization Practices in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Among Pediatric Gastroenterologists
Conclusions: There is practice variation among pediatric gastroenterologists in assessment of immunizations in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, including the specific vaccines assessed, and timing and method of assessment. Inability to coordinate care, access immunization records, and offer vaccines through their medical practice are barriers to adhering to immunization guidelines.
