    Abstract Purpose of review: Cases of severe influenza may occur during seasonal epidemics, following sporadic zoonotic influenza A transmission from animal reservoirs or on a massive scale with the unpredictable emergence of a new pandemic influenza strain. Clinical experience identifies unmet medical need for additional therapies for influenza, in particular to treat severely unwell adults and children. During and following the pandemic of 2009, a wealth of data from hospitalized cases of influenza from many different countries accumulated and are now starting to emerge. Observational clinical data provide information about the efficacy of existing antiviral drugs in severely ill patients. The development pipeline for new therapies contains several promising agents which are focussed on a range of viral targets, and opens the possibility of combination antiviral therapy for the first time, which may be especially useful in clinically challenging cases. Advances in immunological methods and recombinant protein engineering support the potential for use of immunomodulating therapies as adjuncts in treatment of severe influenza.
    Recent findings: The main themes are the importance of treating severe influenza early, considering multiple therapy options and the relevance of observational clinical data to treatment of severely ill and risk groups.
    Summary: Clinicians, who may have only seen the media headlines following discussion of reviews which deal with randomized controlled trials of neuraminidase inhibitor drug use in mild uncomplicated influenza in the community, may be hesitant to prescribe these drugs. Observational data arising from treatment of severely ill individuals support use of these drugs early in illness and show improvement in outcomes associated with drug use.

    Abstract Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) constitutes a complex connective tissue disorder extending beyond its hallmark bone fragility. This case report explores the intricate diagnostic journey involving an elderly patient with acute chest pain, blue sclerae, and multiple fractures. Despite a thorough cardiac evaluation yielding normal results, the complex medical history and phenotypic markers directed attention toward musculoskeletal factors, underlining the importance of comprehensive diagnostic approaches in hereditary conditions like OI.

    Abstract Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been shown to be detectable in blood from infected individuals. Though RNAemia frequencies are typically low, the presence of potentially infectious virus potentially poses a transmission risk during blood transfusion.
    Methods: Archived plasma samples were collected from blood donors who later reported possible SARS-CoV-2 infection with the wild-type strain, Delta variant, or Omicron variant. This was based on either symptom onset or a positive test within 2 weeks from their donation. Donations were tested for SARS-CoV-2 RNA, and information on symptoms and testing results were gathered during postdonation interview.
    Results: Of 518 archived plasma samples tested, 19 (3.7%) were found to have detectable levels of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in donors who donated during the Delta (10/141 [7.1%]) and Omicron (9/162 [5.6%]) waves. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was not detected in donors who donated during the wild-type wave (0/215). Seventeen of 19 RNAemic donors reported symptom onset or a positive test within 2 days of donating. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in asymptomatic or presymptomatic blood donors.
    Conclusions: Despite RNAemia being correlated with SARS-CoV-2 disease severity, RNAemia was detected in asymptomatic or presymptomatic blood donors.

    Abstract Acute lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are a major worldwide health problem, particularly in childhood. About 30-50% of acute LRTIs are viral in origin with influenza A infection a key cause of explosive community outbreaks. Many different influenza A viruses occur naturally in animal reservoirs and present a constant threat of zoonotic infections and global pandemics. Since 2009, when pandemic (H1N1) influenza A emerged from a swine origin, there have been a number of different zoonotic influenza A transmissions into the human population, including H1N1 and H3N2 variant viruses in North America and H7N9 viruses in China. The segmented nature of the influenza A virus genome and the circulation of these viruses in wild bird, domestic poultry and mammalian reservoirs presents a continuous opportunity for reassortment of viral genes and the emergence of a novel pandemic virus. Constant vigilance is required. The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2003 and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus in 2012, highlights the fact that other serious respiratory viral infections in humans may originate in animals. Enhanced awareness of the potential for serious human respiratory disease in association with travel, or animal exposure, should form part of clinical assessment. Rapid developments in genomic technology improve the ability to diagnose previously undetected pathogens. Preventative measures for influenza include annual vaccination and treatment with antiviral drugs such as neuraminidase inhibitors, oseltamivir and zanamivir. Subtype-dependent resistance to antivirals can develop and should be closely monitored.
