Global Epidemiology and Disease Burden of Human Parainfluenza Virus in Adults: A Systematic Review

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Parainfluenza virus (PIV) is a common cause of respiratory illness in children and immunocompromised adults, but little is known about its epidemiology or disease burden in the general adult population.

Point‐Of‐Care Respiratory Diagnosis and Antibiotic Utilization in the Emergency Department: A Prospective Evaluation of Multiplex PCR

Academic Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Rapid multiplex point‐of‐care (POC) PCR tests may reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescribing by quickly identifying viral etiologies in patients with acute respiratory infections (ARI). We evaluated the impact of a rapid (~15 min) multiplex PCR test on antibiotic prescribing, provider confidence, patient satisfaction, and emergency ...

Assessing Nanopore Targeted Sequencing for the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Infections: A Comparative Multidisease Approach

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Pulmonary infections remain a significant global health burden, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and patients with chronic respiratory or systemic diseases. Conventional microbiological tests (CMTs), though widely used, often have limited sensitivity and delayed results, especially in polymicrobial or atypical infections.
