H. Irene Hall,Ruiguang Song,Philip Rhodes,Joseph Prejean,Qian An,Lisa M. Lee,John M. Karon,Ron Brookmeyer,Edward H. Kaplan,Matthew T. McKenna,Robert S. Janssen +10 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first direct estimates of HIV incidence in the United States using laboratory technologies previously implemented only in clinic-based settings and indicated that HIV incidence increased in the mid-1990s, then slightly declined after 1999 and has been stable thereafter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dennis L. Stevens,Martha H. Tanner,Jay Winship,Raymond Swarts,Kristen Ries,Patrick M. Schlievert,Edward H. Kaplan +6 more
TL;DR: Twenty patients from the Rocky Mountain region who had group A streptococcal infections from 1986 to 1988 that were remarkable for the severity of local tissue destruction and life-threatening systemic toxicity are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The data show the utility of viral RNA monitoring in municipal wastewater for SARS-CoV-2 infection surveillance at a population-wide level and in communities facing a delay between specimen collection and the reporting of test results, immediate wastewater results can provide considerable advance notice of infection dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergency response to a smallpox attack: The case for mass vaccination
TL;DR: Estimating the number of cases and deaths that would result from an attack in a large urban area of the United States and comparing the results to mass vaccination from the moment an attack is recognized finds that mass vaccination results in both far fewer deaths and much faster epidemic eradication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergency response to an anthrax attack
TL;DR: The results underscore the need for the extremely aggressive and timely use of oral antibiotics by all asymptomatics in the exposure region, distributed either preattack or by nonprofessionals postattack, and the creation of surge capacity for supportive hospital care via expanded training of nonemergency care workers at the local level.
