Just this week, researchers reported that the incidence of MRSA infections among children admitted to pediatric hospitals in the United States more than tripled between 2002 and 2007. Researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania found cases of MRSA jumped from 6.7 per 1,000 admissions in 2002 to 21.1 cases per 1,000 admissions in 2007, according to a study released online Monday in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.

Another study, this one published in the U.S. journal Clinical Infectious Diseases in 2006, found that workers in meat-processing plants have a greater likelihood of being infected by some version of the H1N1 flu virus than the general population (the odds of pig farmers getting the disease are significantly greater again).

Every year, an estimated 915,000 people 65 and older get pneumonia, and 40 percent of them end up in hospitals, according to a 2004 paper in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. Pneumonia often kills older people, said Richard Stefanacci, a geriatrician at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia.

To test the role of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in CD4 cell depletion in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–coinfected patients, T cell apoptosis was measured by annexin V labeling in 31 HIV‐infected and 30 HIV‐HCV–coinfected patients who were not receiving antiretroviral therapy. Apoptosis in naive CD4+ T cells and in naive and memory CD8+ T cells was significantly higher in HIV‐HCV–coinfected than in monoinfected patients.
