Article Synopsis
- A study conducted in France during the 2023-24 RSV season analyzed the effectiveness of nirsevimab, a monoclonal antibody, in preventing RSV infections in infants, focusing on breakthrough cases.
- Out of 695 RSV-infected infants, researchers sequenced the full-length RSV genome of 545 infants, identifying that 48% had breakthrough infections despite receiving nirsevimab.
- While no resistance was found in RSV-A infections from nirsevimab-treated infants, two cases of RSV-B showed substitutions linked to resistance, indicating a potential concern for the antibody's effectiveness against this variant.
This guideline aims to summarize the current state of knowledge about vaginal birth at term. The guideline focuses on definitions of the physiological stages of labor as well as differentiating between various pathological developments and conditions. It also assesses the need for intervention and the options to avoid interventions.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study on a large measles outbreak in Berlin, Germany.
