Unlabelled: mRNA vaccines represent a milestone in the history of vaccinology, because they are safe, very effective, quick and cost-effective to produce, easy to adapt should the antigen vary, and able to induce humoral and cellular immunity.

Methods: To date, only two COVID-19 mRNA and one RSV vaccines have been approved. However, several mRNA vaccines are currently under development for the prevention of human viral (influenza, human immunodeficiency virus [HIV], Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, Zika, respiratory syncytial virus, metapneumovirus/parainfluenza 3, Chikungunya, Nipah, rabies, varicella zoster virus, and herpes simplex virus 1 and 2), bacterial (tuberculosis), and parasitic (malaria) diseases.

Respiratory tract infections caused by various pathogens remain a significant public health concern due to their high prevalence and potential for severe complications. This study systematically analyzed the epidemiological characteristics of six common respiratory pathogens-Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), Adenovirus (AdV), Influenza A virus (FluA), Influenza B virus (FluB), and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)-in patients from Sichuan Jinxin Xinan Women and Children's Hospital between April 2023 and March 2024. Throat swab samples were collected from a total of 22,717 individuals.

Background: When coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mitigation efforts waned, viral respiratory infections (VRIs) surged, potentially increasing the risk of postviral invasive bacterial infections (IBIs). We sought to evaluate the change in epidemiology and relationships between specific VRIs and IBIs [complicated pneumonia, complicated sinusitis and invasive group A streptococcus (iGAS)] over time using the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) dataset.

Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of all prospectively collected pediatric (<19 years old) and adult encounters at 58 N3C institutions, stratified by era: pre-pandemic (January 1, 2018, to February 28, 2020) versus pandemic (March 1, 2020, to June 1, 2023).

Heterogeneity of Clinical Phenotypes in Severe Acute Respiratory Infections Owing to Respiratory Syncytial Virus: A Need to Look Beyond Hospitalization.

Hospices Civils de Lyon, Hôpital Femme Mère Enfant, Service de Réanimation Pédiatrique et d'Accueil des Urgences, Bron, France; KIDLIT Kids' Lyon Infectious Disease Team, Lyon, France; Centre International de Recherche en Infectiologie (CIRI), Laboratoire Vir'Path, Inserm U1111, CNRS UMR5308, ENS de Lyon, Université Claude Bernard - Lyon 1, Lyon, France.

Objective: To use a pre-COVID-19 birth cohort database to describe the clinical heterogeneity of severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) cases of the past seasons as a basis to investigate further distribution of clinical phenotypes in the era of immunization for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Study Design: Infants with RSV-SARI were identified from a 2014 through 2019 birth cohort in a tertiary care center in Lyon, France, and their medical records extensively reviewed. Using the criteria of the World Health Organization severity definitions, we classified SARI as having nutritional (inability to feed), respiratory (SpO <93%), or neurological (failure to respond, apneas) impairments.
