Infants are in trouble. "Extremely low infant vaccination rates (<5%),waning adult immunity & continued viral exposure risks suggest that infant COVID-19 will remain a persistent pub health problem." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38134379/

🧵🇺🇲7times ⬆️# Covid infections by Omicron vs the pre-Delta .Cumulative case hospitalization rate 4.1%, 1 infant death /every 74 admitted ,333 infant deaths reported. 13 infant deaths d/t lethal congenital anomalies.The majority deaths non-White (28.2% Black, 26.1% Hispanic).
@C_A_G0101 @LehmannDrC For every 74 hospitalized infants, one infant death occurred, but overall COVID-19-related infant case fatality was low, with 7.0 deaths per 10,000 cases (95% CI: 5.6-8.7).1/2
Epidemiology of COVID-19 in Infants in US: Reported incidence of COVID19 was 64.1 new cases/ 1000 infant years (63.3–64.9). 594,012 infants tested positive for COVID19 nationwide by March 31,2022. journals.lww.com/pidj/fulltext/…
"...infant COVID-19 will remain a persistent public health problem. Our study underscores the need to increase vaccination rates for mothers and infants, decrease viral exposure risks and improve health equity." journals.lww.com/pidj/fulltext/…
Infants are in trouble. "Extremely low infant vaccination rates (<5%),waning adult immunity & continued viral exposure risks suggest that infant COVID-19 will remain a persistent pub health problem." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38134379/
Really carefully done, important study on #BA286 … the news is mixed … highly immune evasive (bad) but lower infectivity than #XBB15 (good) ⬇️
Sharing some new experimental data on BA.2.86: 1) BA.2.86 is antigenically distinct compared to XBB.1.5. 2) BA.2.86 can significantly escape XBB-infection/vaccination induced antibodies. 3) However, the infectivity of BA.2.86 may be much lower than XBB.1.5 and EG.5. (1/n)
“The age- and sex-adjusted hazard ratio for type 1 diabetes was 1.57 (95% CI, 1.32-1.88) with any COVID-19 diagnosis and 1.69 (95% CI, 1.31-2.18) when only virus-confirmed cases were considered.” #COVID19 #epitwitter jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
So glad to hear this baby is doing better 🙏🏽 but hundreds of infants have died from #COVID19 since 2020. We (@COVKIDProject) have a new paper submitted on this sobering topic - will share more 🔜
Horrible news yesterday, grand niece in Texas got covid. She went into cardiac arrest and is now on ventilator. She turns 1 on Jan 1st. I’m heartbroken and can only pray she comes out of this.
Ok my pedi peeps this may be a good one to weigh in on. What to do if you cannot get antipyretics? Plenty of fluids + environmental measures like lukewarm sponge bath. However if environmental measures cause shiver, stop immediately. Shivering can cause fever to rise.
We’re hearing from China about infant #COVID19 illnesses with high fevers and zero availability of antipyretics. #PedsICU #tweetiatrician folks - what’s best practice for parents to bring down high fevers in infants/toddlers?
Immunity Debt is a medico-sociological term that implies children need to get infected with viruses that hospitalize them as part of the social contract An ethical society does not have children pay debts adults incur
🧵Important update on #SARSCoV2 variants: A fast growing sublineage of #BA5 variant is now >10% of all 🇺🇸 sequenced cases. Names: “22E Omicron” on covariants.org “BQ.1/BQ.11” on CDC Covid Tracker In NY, 22E ⬆️ from 2% to 13% of cases in 2 weeks.
Managing this pandemic is not merely about the severity of disease for individuals in the short term, it's also about the effects on populations in the long term.
Hi, I’m Katie. I lost in the final round of my second grade spelling bee because I didn’t say “capital S” when spelling “September.” I kicked my teacher in the shin and, apparently, shouted, “it’s a spelling bee, not a grammar bee.” That pretty much sums me up.
