Seroprevalence of Avian Influenza A(H5N6) Virus Infection, Guangdong Province, China, 2022.

In 2022, we assessed avian influenza A virus subtype H5N6 seroprevalence among the general population in Guangdong Province, China, amid rising numbers of human infections. Among the tested samples, we found 1 to be seropositive, suggesting that the virus poses a low but present risk to the general population.

Background: Recent outbreaks of avian influenza and ongoing virus reassortment have drawn focus on spill-over infections. The increase in human infections with highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N6 virus and its high fatality rate posed a potential threat, necessitating the search for a more effective treatment.

Methods: Longitudinal clinical data and specimens were collected from five H5N6 patients after admission.

How fast and how well the Omicron epidemic was curtailed. A Guangzhou experience to share.

Acute-phase serum superoxide dismutase level as a predictive biomarker for stroke-associated infection.

: Oxidative stress is involved in the development of infections. However, whether oxidative stress indicators can be used as markers of stroke-associated infection (SAI) is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to test the predictive values of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels for SAI incidence.
