Background: Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (N/R) reduces severe outcomes from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); however, rebound after treatment has been reported. We compared symptom and viral dynamics in individuals with COVID-19 who completed N/R treatment and similar untreated individuals.
Methods: We identified symptomatic participants who tested severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2-positive and were N/R eligible from a COVID-19 household transmission study.
Article Synopsis
- Influenza infections saw a decline during the COVID-19 pandemic, potentially leading to decreased immunity and increased susceptibility in the following flu season (2021-2022).
- A study was conducted to compare the risk of influenza infection among household contacts of infected individuals in the 2021-2022 season versus prepandemic seasons (2017-2020).
- Results showed a significant difference in infection rates, with the study accounting for factors like age, vaccination status, and interaction frequency among household members.
