- [The deadliest epidemic sweeping the United States](https://textbookconsortia.com/the-deadliest-epidemic-sweeping-the-united-states/): Whooping cough cases are out of control in the United States – as of December 20th, there were 27,871 cases and 13 deaths. In 2024, there were 41,922 cases. This is a massive increase in incidence from the period 1970 to 90 where cases averaged about 2,600 per year. There has been a significant increase since 2003, with cases averaging between 10,000 to 20,000. Pertussis is a nasty disease characterized by a severe, violent cough, where people cough so much they run out of breath and then, in between coughs, inhale strongly, making a whooping sound, hence giving the disease…
- [Influenza Activity is Increasing in the US](https://textbookconsortia.com/influenza-activity-is-increasing-in-the-us/): It’s shaping up to be an active influenza season this year. At the end of the year, infections are accelerating, and we just hit a 6% infection rate, which crashed through the national baseline of 3% infection. Quite a few people’s Christmas plans were interrupted by the flu. I know of one recent instance where a nurse went into work, even though they were not feeling well, infecting their coworkers! If you are not feeling well and have sick leave, stay home!* The most common strains circulating right now are Influenza A (H3N2). While having the flu is never fun,…
- [A loss of anaerobes in the gut may have a role in IBD](https://textbookconsortia.com/a-loss-of-anaerobes-in-the-gut-may-have-a-role-in-ibd/): A newly published study in the journal Gastroenterology by Peter Rimmer, Fan Zhang, and colleagues digs into the observation that there is a shift in the microbiome in newly diagnosed patients with irritable bowel disease. The two most common IBD types are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, with the global prevalence exceeing 0.3%. That’s nearly 2.5 million people! The underlying causes of IBD are not clear, but there seems to be an interplay between several contributors: barrier dysfunction, genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and the gut microbiome. Alterations in the gut bacteria in IBD patients have been widely reported. This leads…
- [Measles is here](https://textbookconsortia.com/measles-is-here/): On November 22nd, I wrote a post about the alarmingly low vaccination rate against measles in certain parts of this country. This is incredibly dangerous, and our infectious disease present has arrived early. The Washington Post reports on South Carolina public health officials who warn that an outbreak of measles is accelerating. So far, 111 measles cases have been reported, with 105 of them being in unvaccinated individuals. (There is a small chance you can get measles even if you are vaccinated. One dose of the measles vaccine is 93% effective, while two doses are 97% effect
