#episky #idsky Temporal association and seasonal variation of respiratory viruses and invasive group A streptococcal infections in Western Sweden, a 15-year analysis across pre- and postpandemic periods - International Journal of Infectious Diseases www.ijidonline.com/article/S120...
![A(H3) non-sentinel cases estimated as [total influenza A]×[subtyped A(H3)/total subtyped A] in Sweden per week seasons 2021–25 (starting at week 40), based on data from FluNet.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xxppgquw2duy3v2qh6mg5oiv/bafkreib5nnjulo3ueharupscwhbm63vijejwbe3zpghv4mmxt7yimfciny)
A(H3) har tagit över även i Sverige, och det är inte många fördubblingar kvar tills vi når normal toppnivå (kan nog bli till jul). Flest fall i Svealand och Norrland.

Ja, det ser onekligen ut som en epidemistart! Kylan som förklaringsmodell verkar få sig en törn!
The deadly fever in Ethiopia has been identified as Marburg disease.
It’s the first time a Marburg outbreak has been identified in Ethiopia.

ligger lite högre än vad det brukar vid den här tiden, men det är på marginalen.. inte riktigt kommit igång sett till ökningstakten än. Men nu när kylan kommer så är det kanske uppbäddat för en tidig start? Pratade lite med forskaren kring det: köldknäppen brukar starta, sen går det av sig själv 📈

The influenza season may be starting early in Sweden too.
Obegripligt svårt att lista svenskar med coolhet. I Göteborg går diskussionerna höga tre dagar efter publicering. Sprider sig bland offentliganställda. Titiyo? Marie-Louise Ekman? Nämns ofta av flera oberoende av varandra. Ingen levande man i sikte. Diskussionen fortsätter.

I think about this a lot!
Medical professionals and their societies are sounding the highest level of alarm about the dangers of rejecting science and favoring conspiracy theories and it is hardly breaking through.
That's how far down the rabbit hole the US is.
This fight is hard.
And here’s confirmation from @WHO:
“Health authorities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo have declared an outbreak of Ebola virus disease in Kasai Province where 28 suspected cases and 15 deaths, including four health workers, have been reported as of 4 September 2025.”

Kanske kan den här texten från @fredrikedin.bsky.social formulera din tvekan inför Håkan nostalgin?
Det finns något väldigt dött och deppigt med all nostalgi, att tåget redan passerat
An explosive outbreak of mpox in Sierra Leone is raising fears of wider spread. The country of 9 million has seen more than 3000 cases already.
“We could see very rapid geographic expansion […] if we don’t really try and get things under control quickly,” says @kindrachukjason.bsky.social

An sink-related outbreak of Klebsiella oxytoca, our study is now online #idsky #episky #amr #medsky
Vår studie om ett utbrott av resistenta bakterier på ett sjukhus i regionen är nu publicerad
Exempelvis hade personer som bor i de områden med mycket goda socioekonomiska förutsättningar 47% lägre risk att dö pågrund av COVID-19 jämfört med dem som bor i områden med störst socioekonomiska utmaningar
Vi publicerade nyligen en studie där vi undersökte hur pandemin drabbade olika områden:

Bra artiklar i DN om socioekonomiska skillnader mellan bostadsområden, en väg kan skilja mellan två helt olika världar
We have had our study published in which we analyzed the importance of the socioeconomic status of the residential area for morbidity, death and vaccination coverage.
