Article Synopsis
- Haemophilus influenzae serotype b (Hib) conjugate vaccines have decreased Hib disease globally, but some European countries are seeing a rise in invasive cases, prompting a study in England to analyze trends over 11 years.
- The UK Health Security Agency conducted national surveillance, reporting 6881 invasive infections from 2012 to 2023, with 2% being Hib cases, primarily affecting adults (median age 51) and leading to bacteraemic pneumonia in most instances.
- The study concluded that while invasive Hib disease remains rare in England, it primarily impacts adults with pre-existing conditions, with a low case-fatality rate and no significant increase in overall incidence.
Enteroviruses are a common cause of seasonal childhood infections. The vast majority of enterovirus infections are mild and self-limiting, although neonates can sometimes develop severe disease. Myocarditis is a rare complication of enterovirus infection.

Materials And Methods: This was an educational trial on 60 pre-hospital emergency staff, performed in Saveh in 2020-2021. The participants fulfilling inclusion criteria entered the study and were randomly allocated to two groups: scenario (n = 30) and lecture (n = 30).
Article Synopsis
- Invasive Haemophilus influenzae serotype a (Hia) disease is predominantly found among Indigenous populations in North America, with increased cases identified in England since the 2016-17 epidemiological year, prompting enhanced national surveillance.* -
- The study involved gathering data from general practitioners and clinicians about confirmed Hia cases from 2008-09 to 2021-22, focusing on demographics, clinical details, and genomic analysis to understand the disease better.* -
- A total of 52 invasive Hia cases were reported in England during the study period, with a notable rise in cases after 2015-16, peaking at 19 cases in 2021-22, which represented a
