A world-first study has found a new vaccine against potentially deadly respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is safe and effective for use in pregnant women, to help protect their babies.
Acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRI) remains a major worldwide cause of childhood mortality, compelling innovation in prevention and treatment. Children in Papua New Guinea (PNG) experience profound morbidity from ALRI caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. As a result of evolutionary divergence, the human PNG population exhibits profound genetic variation and diversity. To address unmet health needs of children in PNG, we tested whether genetic variants increased ALRI morbidity.
Researchers using powerful microscopes have identified bacterial slime in the lungs of some children with persistent wet coughs.
Experts are warning Aboriginal parents in Western Australia with newborn babies to be vigilant about Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) as winter progresses.
