In 2010, the WHO revised dosing guidelines for treatment of childhood tuberculosis. Our aim was to investigate first-line antituberculosis drug exposures under these guidelines, explore dose optimization using the current dispersible fixed-dose combination (FDC) table of rifampicin/isoniazid/pyrazinamide; 75/50/150 mg , and suggest a new FDC with revised weight-bands. Children with drug-susceptible ... Read more >>

Beta (B.1.351) variant COVID-19 disease was investigated in Qatar. Compared to Alpha (B.1.1.7) variant, odds of progressing to severe disease were 1.24-fold (95% CI: 1.11-1.39) higher for Beta. Odds of progressing to critical disease were 1.49-fold (95% CI: 1.13-1.97) higher. Odds of COVID-19 death were 1.57-fold (95% CI: 1.03-2.43) higher. ... Read more >>

We analyzed June 2021 Medicare Advantage/Part D enrollment and formulary data. Oral vancomycin and fidaxomicin, frontline Clostridioides difficile treatments, were on formulary for 100% (42,314,676/42,314,676) and 84.1% (35,598,385/42,314,676) of enrollees, respectively. However, they were broadly accessible (formulary, unrestricted, Tier 1 or 2) to only 14.4% (6,104,348/42,314,676) and 1.1% (483,004/42,314,676), respectively. ... Read more >>

<h4>Background</h4>The longitudinal antigen-specific immunity in COVID-19 convalescents is crucial for long-term protection upon individual re-exposure to SARS-CoV-2, and even more pivotal for ultimately achieving population-level immunity. To better understand the features of immune memory in individuals with different disease severities at one year post-disease onset we conducted this cohort study.<h4>Methods</h4>We ... Read more >>
