Journal ArticleDOI
Are Meteorological Parameters Associated with Acute Respiratory Tract Infections
Jean-Baptist du Prel,Wolfram Puppe,Britta Gröndahl,Markus Knuf,Franziska Weigl,Franziska Schaaff,Heinz-Josef Schmitt +6 more
TL;DR: Seasonality of certain ARI pathogens can be explained by meteorological influences, and a time series model presented herein is a first step toward predicting annual RSV epidemics using weather forecast data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of a multiplex reverse transcriptase PCR ELISA for the detection of nine respiratory tract pathogens
W. Puppe,J. A. I. Weigl,G. Aron,Britta Gröndahl,Heinz-Josef Schmitt,Hubert G. M. Niesters,Jan Groen +6 more
TL;DR: The m-RT-PCR-ELISA is a feasible, sensitive and specific method for detection of a broad spectrum of organisms and is suitable for individual as well as epidemiological diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the BD Directigen Flu A+B Kit and the Abbott TestPack RSV with a multiplex RT-PCR ELISA for rapid detection of influenza viruses and respiratory syncytial virus
TL;DR: In this study, the sensitivity of the Directigen Flu A+B assay was unacceptably low (29.3% and 10.0%, respectively) for the detection of influenza A and B viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invasive Haemophilus influenzae infections in Germany: impact of non-type b serotypes in the post-vaccine era.
TL;DR: There was no increase in non-type b Hi invasive infections during 8 years of active surveillance in Germany and the burden of suffering between children with Hib, capsulated non-b and non-capsulated Hi infections was compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of hexavalent vaccines against invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b disease: Germany's experience after 5 years of licensure.
Helen Kalies,Veit Grote,Anette Siedler,Britta Gröndahl,Heinz-Josef Schmitt,Rüdiger von Kries +5 more
TL;DR: Vaccine effectiveness (VE) was determined with a case-cohort approach using Cox regression using Hexavalent vaccines, which show a high effectiveness against invasive Hib disease in Germany.
