During the COVID-19 pandemic, children and adolescents were massively infected worldwide. In 2022, reinfections became a main feature of endemic phase SARS-CoV-2, so it is important to understand epidemiology clinical impact reinfections.To assess incidence, risk, severity pediatric SARS-CoV-2 reinfection.This retrospective cohort study used epidemiologic data documented infections from surveillance database Institute for Public Health Vojvodina. A total 32 524 Vojvodina, Serbia, with...
The share of the elderly population is growing worldwide as life expectancy increases. Immunosenescence and comorbidities increase infectious diseases’ morbidity mortality in older adults. Here, we aimed to summarize latest findings on vaccines for against herpes zoster, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), COVID-19, pneumococcal disease examine vaccine recommendation differences this age group Europe United States. PubMed was searched using keywords “elders” “vaccine” alongside...
Abstract Background Since 2011, the Global Influenza Hospital Surveillance Network (GIHSN) has used active surveillance to prospectively collect epidemiological and virological data on patients hospitalized with influenza virus infection. Here, we describe strain circulation in GIHSN participant countries during 2017–2018 season examine factors associated complicated hospitalization among admitted laboratory-confirmed illness. Methods The study enrolled who were a hospital previous 48 h...
Abstract Background The Global Influenza Hospital Surveillance Network (GIHSN) was established in 2012 to conduct coordinated worldwide influenza surveillance. In this study, we describe underlying comorbidities, symptoms, and outcomes patients hospitalized with influenza. Methods Between November 2018 October 2019, GIHSN included 19 sites 18 countries using a standardized surveillance protocol. infection laboratory-confirmed reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. A multivariate...
ABSTRACT Respiratory viruses represent a significant public health threat. There is the need for robust and coordinated surveillance to guide global responses. Established in 2012, Global Influenza Hospital Surveillance Network (GIHSN) addresses this by collecting clinical virological data on persons with acute respiratory illnesses across network of hospitals worldwide. GIHSN utilizes standardized patient enrolment collection protocol its study sites. It leverages pre‐existing national...

This study aimed at producing an updated assessment of the incidence anaphylaxis associated with COVID-19 vaccines based on pharmacovigilance data. Anaphylactic reaction and anaphylactic shock data post-COVID-19-vaccination reported from week 52, 2020 to 1 or 2, 2023 were collected VAERS EudraVigilance databases, respectively, analyzed comparatively. Incidence rates calculated using corresponding administered vaccine doses as denominators for all licensed both platform types (mRNA vectored)....
Abstract Background The Global Influenza Hospital Surveillance Network (GIHSN) has since 2012 provided patient-level data on severe influenza-like-illnesses from >100 participating clinical sites worldwide based a core protocol and consistent case definitions. Methods We used multivariable logistic regression to assess the risk of intensive care unit admission, mechanical ventilation, in-hospital death among hospitalized patients with influenza explored role covariates country income...
: Hepatitis B (HB) is a major global health problem and potentially life-threatening disease caused by the hepatitis virus (HBV). Also, it an important cause of morbidity mortality worldwide. Thanks to serological surveys, testing surface antibodies (anti-HBs) allows for assessments their prevalence. The presence anti-HBs, which protects against HBV infection, can be attributed HB vaccination or natural infection. aim our study was evaluate prevalence as indicator collective immunity in...
