Wow. Disseminated MAC - something we’d think of in advanced HIV, but here w/ BsAb. Labs showed CD4 <50 even 1+ yr after stopping BsAb! illustrates T cell depletion + long term infxn risk w/ prolonged BsAb. Lot to ponder here as we see expanded use of BsAb @NausheenAhmedMD

Important point by @mlipsitch at #PandemicSciences24: the success of the 100 days mission for vaccine development during a pandemic depends on success of non-pharmaceutical interventions before vaccines become available.

CDC can quickly investigate & respond to many disease threats with the help of advanced molecular detection (#AMD) technologies that can identify the DNA or RNA of a disease-causing germ.

Find out how @CDC_AMD is used for #PublicHealth: https://t.co/NWaaPT1B0p

New study. We compared the immune response of XBB and JN.1 in human infections to evaluate the necessity for #SARSCOV2 vaccine updates
Results:
JN.1 exposure induces higher neutralization against emerging mutants, including FLiRT (JN.1+346T+456L) and KP.3
