Bird Flu (H5N1) Explained: U.S. Human Infections Rise To 9 - Forbes

Image
Topline Here's the latest news about a global outbreak of H5N1 bird flu that started in 2020, and recently spread among cattle in U.S. states and marine mammals across the world, which has health officials closely monitoring it and experts concerned the virus could mutate and eventually spread to humans, where it has proven rare but deadly. Timeline July 15 Officials confirmed a fourth bird flu case in a poultry farm worker on the same Colorado farm from last week, and a fifth suspected case is pending confirmation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This brings the national number to nine since the first human cases was detected in the state in 2022, with eight of the cases reported this year. July 12 Colorado authorities announced three workers in a commercial egg operation have presumptive positive cases of bird flu, bringing the state's count of known human infections up to as high as five—and the national number to seven—thoug...

What to Know Before You Buy Children's Cold Medicines - Verywell Health

Image
Children's cold medicines won't help your child get over a cold faster, but they can help ease their symptoms. There are a variety of cold medicines for kids, including cough suppressants, antihistamines , fever reducers, decongestants, and multi-symptom cold formulations that include more than one of these. While a cold medicine may be labeled "for kids," that doesn't necessarily mean that it's safe for every kid. In addition, just because a child has a cold doesn't mean they need cold medicine. This article explains when cold medicines for kids are helpful and what their limitations are. It also outlines the active ingredients used in different formulations, including their possible side effects and risks. Pollyanna Ventura / Getty Images When to Give Kids Cold Medicine Colds need to "run their course," and children's cold and cough medicines don't make the process go any faster. They also won't keep a co...

Preventing VZV Transmission in Healthcare Settings | Shingles (Herpes Zoster) - CDC

Image
Infection control measures depend on whether the patient with herpes zoster is immunocompetent or immunocompromised. Healthcare professionals should also determine if the rash is localized or disseminated (appearance of lesions outside the primary or adjacent dermatomes). In all cases, follow standard infection control precautions. Use the table below to determine if any additional infection control precautions are required. Infection control precautions are based on patient's immune status and rash localization. Patient Immune Status Localized Herpes Zoster Disseminated Herpes Zoster Immunocompetent Completely cover lesions and follow standard precautions until lesions are dry and scabbed. Airborne and contact precautions until lesions are dry and scabbed. Immunocompromised Airborne and contact precautions until disseminated infection is ruled out. After dissemination is ruled out, completely cover lesions and follow standard precautions unti...

Fungal Diseases and COVID-19 - CDC

Image
Overview COVID-19-associated fungal infections can lead to severe illness and death. Symptoms of certain fungal diseases can be similar to those of COVID-19, including: Fever Cough Shortness of breath Coughing is a common symptom of fungal diseases similar to COVID. Some patients can have COVID-19 and a fungal infection at the same time. Laboratory testing is necessary to determine if a person has a fungal infection, COVID-19, or both. COVID-19 likely increases the risk for fungal infections because of its effect on the immune system. Treatments for COVID-19 (like steroids and other drugs) can also weaken the body's defenses against fungi. The most commonly reported fungal infections in patients with COVID-19 include: Aspergillosis Invasive candidiasis Mucormycosis (or "black fungus ") Fungal infections resistant to antifungal treatment have also been described in patients with severe COVID-19. Identifying a potential fungal co-...

FDA Finally Admits the Most Popular Oral Decongestant Doesn't Work - Lifehacker

Image
We may earn a commission from links on this page. When pseudoephedrine was banned from off-the-shelf sale in 2006 (it's still available "over the counter," but kept behind the counter), Sudafed and other companies had to come up with a way to keep something available for easy purchase. That's why Sudafed PE—an entirely different, and allegedly ineffective, product—is the one you can easily grab when you're making a late night run for cold medicine. Its active ingredient, phenylephrine, dominates the cold medicine aisle. But this week, an FDA advisory panel ruled that phenylephrine should no longer be considered an effective drug—which means it could end up being pulled from the market. What is the difference between Sudafed and Sudafed PE? Sudafed contains pseudoephedrine, which is widely understood to work well as a decongestant. (The brand name itself is a shortened version of the drug's name.) Sudafed PE uses a completely different ingredient, ...

Hidden camera reveals some pharmacists recommend homeopathic products to treat kids' cold and flu - CBC.ca

Image
Some pharmacists working in Canada's top drugstores are recommending homeopathic products to consumers, even though, experts say, these products are essentially sugar water or sugar pills with no scientific evidence they can do what they claim, a CBC Marketplace investigation has found. Host Asha Tomlinson and Marketplace producers spoke with 10 pharmacists at four major drugstore chains, chosen at random, in the Toronto area, including Rexall, Shoppers Drug Mart, Walmart and Metro, and documented what they heard on hidden camera. WATCH | Marketplace's full investigation: [embedded content] Marketplace journalists approached pharmacists with a children's homeopathic product that claims it's for cough, runny nose, congestion, aches, pains and fever. Each pharmacist was asked if they would recommend it for a three-year-old child with cough and cold symptoms. Six out of 10 did recommend the homeopathic remedy and indicated it would help provide symptom relief. ...
