    Sammanfattning : Despite the benefits of applying methods of geographic information science (GIScience), the use of such methods in health service planning and provision remains greatly underutilized. Spread of epidemic diseases is a constant threat to mankind and the globalization of the world increases the risk for global attacks from multi-resistant bacteria or deadly virus strains. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Serological and molecular methods for surveillance of influenza A virus

    Författare :Sofie Wallerström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The natural reservoir for influenza A viruses is birds, and numerous outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses have been documented. There is a risk of novel subtypes originating from birds infecting humans, and the question of migratory birds as long-distance vectors for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses has also been raised.

  4. 3. Viral respiratory tract infections in children

    Författare :Johan Hamrin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The most common infection in humans is viral respiratory tract infections which predominantly present as the ‘common cold’. In some circumstances however, respiratory viruses cause acute lower respiratory tract infections (RTIs) and due to the high absolute number of infection the contribution of these cases to total morbidity and mortality are substantial.

  5. 4. Severe viral respiratory tract infections in children

    Författare :Samuel Arthur Rhedin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are estimated to cause 703.000 deaths annually in children below five years. The majority of RTIs in children are caused by viruses, yet the number of antivirals approved for treatment of these infections is very limited. LÄS MER
