TL;DR: Three arenaviruses, Lassa, Junin, and Machupo, regularly cause serious disease when they infect humans and there is increasing acceptance that they share sufficient, common, clinical and pathophysiological findings to refer to a viral hemorrhagic (HF) syndrome.

TL;DR: Transmission of Ebola virus to two of three control rhesus monkeys that did not have direct contact with experimentally inoculated monkeys held in the same room is reported to suggest approaches to the study of routes of transmission to and among humans.

TL;DR: It is concluded that high-dose dexamethasone is not indicated for treating cerebral malaria, and patients in each group were comparable on admission, and four patients died.

TL;DR: Two live, attenuated, intranasally administered influenza virus vaccines were evaluated in 21 seronegative young children at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital and children previously vaccinated with the related strain, influenza A/Alaska (H3N2) virus, were significantly protected as judged by serologic evidence of reinfection.

TL;DR: After ribavirin treatment, titers of virus decreased in serum, liver, and spleen by two days; in lung within six days; and in the kidney by eight days, with the exception of the brain, which fell 100-fold lower than in sham-treated animals.
