Development and evaluation of a next-generation sequencing methodology for measles virus using Oxford Nanopore Technology

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
We report the development of a bench protocol and evaluation of bioinformatics pipelines for the whole genome sequence (WGS) of measles virus (MeV) genotype D8. We established a bench protocol using 1 kb amplicons tiling the MeV WGS.

A Lesson from a Measles Outbreak among Healthcare Workers in a Single Hospital in South Korea: The Importance of Knowing the Prevalence of Susceptibility

Vaccines, 2023
Background: Despite the high vaccination coverage rate, in-hospital transmission of measles continues to occur in South Korea. We present a measles outbreak in which two healthcare workers (HCWs) with presumptive evidence of measles immunity were ...

Medicines, misinformation and machines: Navigating infodemics in the generative AI era

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Health information is now widely accessed through smartphones, online searches and increasingly through generative artificial intelligence (AI). These systems create new opportunities for communication, and in some routine contexts, well‐governed AI assistants could reduce exposure to lower quality sources by providing cautious, evidence‐aligned ...

The effect of measles on health-related quality of life: a population-based prospective study

, 2013
Background To enable decisions about investment across different areas of health care, health needs to be measured in a standardised way. In the UK, the quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) is the preferred metric.
