Predictors for fatal human infections with avian H7N9 influenza, evidence from 4 epidemic waves in Jiangsu Province, Eastern China, 2013 ‐2016
ConclusionCharacteristics of H7N9 patients and clinical treatment options changed over time. Particular complications and the use of particular treatment, along with disease duration, could help clinicians predict the outcome of H7N9 infections.This article is protected by copyright.

Curcumin Alleviates Macrophage Activation and Lung Inflammation Induced by Influenza Virus Infection through Inhibiting the NF ‐κB Signaling Pathway
ConclusionsIn summary, IAV infection could result in the inflammatory responses of immune cells, especially macrophages. Curcumin has the therapeutic potentials to relieve these inflammatory responses through inhibiting the NF‐κB signaling pathway.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Effect of low ‐to‐moderate‐dose corticosteroids on mortality of hospitalized adolescents and adults with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viral pneumonia
ConclusionsLow‐to‐moderate‐dose corticosteroids might reduce mortality of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viral pneumonia patients with PaO2/FiO2<300 mm Hg. Mild patients with PaO2/FiO2 ≥300 mm Hg could not benefit from corticosteroid therapy. (Source: Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses)

School ‐based surveillance for influenza vaccine effectiveness during 2014‐2015 seasons in Hong Kong
ConclusionsMild laboratory‐confirmed influenza infection is common in children during influenza seasons. Influenza vaccination is effective against ILI but not mild infection identified by surveillance. (Source: Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses)

Definition of healthcare ‐associated influenza: a review and results from an international survey
ConclusionThis work underlined the heterogeneity of HAI definitions in different countries. A standardized definition would be helpful to evaluate HAI spread, outcomes in patients and healthcare systems, and the impact of prevention measures, including vaccination.This article is protected by copyright.

A cluster of adenovirus type B55 infection in a neurosurgical inpatient department of a general hospital in Guangdong, China
ConclusionsForty‐three cases, including 24 laboratory‐confirmed cases and 19 possible cases, were identified. Nurses had the highest attack rate of infection, with a rate of 36.4%. The attack rate for doctors and inpatients was 20.0% and 16.7%, respectively. HAdV55 was the sole pathogen identified during this outbreak. The hexon, fiber, and penton genes from seven isolated HAdV55 stains were sequenced. All these genes showed 100% homology and fell into the HAdV55 [P14H11F14] cluster, indicating that HAdV55 was the single viral strain for the outbreak. While not conclusive, the epidemic investigation revealed that the o...

Triple ‐reassortant influenza A virus with H3 of human seasonal origin, NA of swine origin, and internal A(H1N1) pandemic 2009 genes is established in Danish pigs
This report describes a triple‐reassortant influenza A virus with a HA that resembles H3 of human seasonal influenza from 2004 to 2005, N2 from influenza A virus already established in swine, and the internal gene cassette from A(H1N1)pdm09 has spread in Danish pig herds. The virus has been detected in several Danish pig herds during the last 2‐3 years and may possess a challenge for human as well as animal health. (Source: Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses)

Single radial haemolysis compared to haemagglutinin inhibition and microneutralization as a correlate of protection against influenza A H3N2 in children and adolescents
ConclusionsSRH had the worst correlation with protection against seasonal H3N2 in children and adolescents compared to MN and HAI. SRH, HAI and MN titres were significantly correlated with each other. SRH was less sensitive than MN but more sensitive than HAI. (Source: Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses)
