A case of rabies has been reported in a traveler from Morocco. Travelers potentially exposed to rabies in Morocco should immediately seek medical care. Upon returning home, travelers should follow up with their health care provider as soon as possible.

Dengue is a year-round risk in many parts of the world, with outbreaks commonly occurring every 2–5 years. Travelers to risk areas should prevent mosquito bites. Country List : Colombia, Philippines, Samoa, Cook Islands (New Zealand), Kiribati (formerly Gilbert Islands), includes Tarawa, Tabuaeran (Fanning Island), and Banaba (Ocean Island), Bangladesh, Mali, Cuba, Sudan, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Nicaragua

Illness and death due to Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) have been reported in the northern region of Mexico along the U.S. border, particularly in Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Nuevo León.

There is an outbreak of chikungunya in Guangdong Province, China. Mosquitoes spread the virus that causes chikungunya.

There are outbreaks of Rift Valley fever (RVF) in Mauritania and Senegal. Country List : Mauritania, Senegal

When she finds herself caring for a patient the same age and with the same rare disease as her brother, a physician discovers the impossibility of compartmentalizing her various identities.

An 80-year-old woman presented with a skin lesion on her left arm. Examination showed a brown lesion with eccentric hyperpigmented asymmetric globules adjacent to a second, pink lesion with well-defined borders.

In EGFR-mutated non–small-cell lung cancer, first-line osimertinib plus platinum–pemetrexed extended overall survival to 47.5 months, as compared with 37.6 months with osimertinib alone, but increased the risk of adverse events.

In early 2018, we detected an increase in surgical site infections (SSI) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in a tertiary hospital in Barcelona. We implemented an infection prevention and control (IPC) intervention reinforcing preventive bundles and reorganizing surgical schedules for high-risk patients and senior surgeons. We aimed to identify SSI-associated factors and evaluate the IPC intervention’s impact.

Accurate surveillance for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is essential for infection prevention and regulatory compliance. Despite the availability of NHSN definitions, variation in application persists, and formal training is not universally required. This study evaluated whether structured surveillance training with annual competency testing improves infection preventionists’ (IPs') accuracy in applying standardized HAI definitions over time.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is crucial for healthcare personnel (HCP) to protect against infections from exposure to body fluids containing bloodborne pathogens such as Ebola, HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. Despite advancements in PPE materials, interface regions, particularly the junction between gloves and protective clothing, remain vulnerable to fluid leakage. Although taping these interfaces is a common practice, its efficacy has not been thoroughly evaluated. This study examined the barrier performance of various tape models applied at the glove–protective clothing interface using a quantitative fluid leakage test.
