The effect of influenza virus on the human oropharyngeal microbiome (2018)
Journal Article
Ramos-Sevillano, E., Wade, W. G., Mann, A., Gilbert, A., Lambkin-Williams, R., Killingley, B., …Tang, C. M. (2019). The effect of influenza virus on the human oropharyngeal microbiome. Clinical Infectious Diseases, 68(12), 1993-2002. https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciy821

© The Author(s) 2018. Background. Secondary bacterial infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality associated with influenza infections. As bacterial disease can be caused by a disturbance of the host microbiome, we examined the impac... Read More about The effect of influenza virus on the human oropharyngeal microbiome.

Deposition of respiratory virus pathogens on frequently touched surfaces at airports (2018)
Journal Article
Ikonen, N., Savolainen-Kopra, C., Enstone, J. E., Kulmala, I., Pasanen, P., Salmela, A., …Ruutu, P. (2018). Deposition of respiratory virus pathogens on frequently touched surfaces at airports. BMC Infectious Diseases, 18, Article 437. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-018-3150-5

BACKGROUND: International and national travelling has made the rapid spread of infectious diseases possible. Little information is available on the role of major traffic hubs, such as airports, in the transmission of respiratory infections, including...

Antiviral treatment for outpatient use during an influenza pandemic: a decision tree model of outcomes averted and cost-effectiveness (2018)
Journal Article
Myles, P. R., Venkatesan, S., Carias, C., Biggerstaff, M., Campbell, A. P., Nguyen-Van-Tam, J. S., …Meltzer, M. I. (2019). Antiviral treatment for outpatient use during an influenza pandemic: a decision tree model of outcomes averted and cost-effectiveness. Journal of Public Health, 41(2), 379–390. https://doi.org/10.1093/pubmed/fdy108

Background: Many countries have acquired antiviral stockpiles for pandemic influenza mitigation and a significant part of the stockpile may be focussed towards community-based treatment. Methods: We developed a spreadsheet-based, decision tree mod...

Objectives: To [1] examine temporal trend in uptake of seasonal influenza vaccine (SIV) in the UK, [2] explore disease and demographic factors associated with vaccination. Methods: 32,751 people with auto-immune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) prescribed...

Clinicians' attitude towards a placebo-controlled randomised clinical trial investigating the effect of neuraminidase inhibitors in adults hospitalised with influenza (2018)
Journal Article
Bradbury, N., Nguyen-Van-Tam, J. S., & Lim, W. S. (2018). Clinicians' attitude towards a placebo-controlled randomised clinical trial investigating the effect of neuraminidase inhibitors in adults hospitalised with influenza. BMC Health Services Research, 18, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-018-3122-x

Background: The value of neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) in reducing severe clinical outcomes from influenza is debated. A clinical trial to generate better evidence is desirable. However, it is unknown whether UK clinicians would support a placebo c...
