There were record numbers of people infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), flu and even strep A.

Key Points: 
  • There were record numbers of people infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), flu and even strep A.
  • But the latest data suggests a surge in infections may be coming this winter.
  • It typically causes a mild chest infection, but it can cause life-threatening illness, such as pneumonia and brain swelling.
  • As with other respiratory infections, M pneumoniae is transmitted when an infected person coughs or sneezes, creating “respiratory droplets”.
  • Crowded places, such as schools and hospitals, are ideal environments for the bug to spread.

Potential resurgence

    • But, contradicting these trends, between April 2021 and March 2022 – when most other respiratory infections had made a comeback- – M pneumoniae infections remained largely absent.
    • Data from 212,207 diagnostic tests collected from 42 sites across 23 countries identified only 214 samples positive for M pneumoniae (0.1% of the samples).
    • The reasons for this lack of resurgence are not fully understood and are probably due to many factors.
    • M pneumoniae infections are known to peak and trough, with epidemics occurring every four to six years as alternative variants circulate.

Key Points: 
  • More recently, several articles discuss the performance of ChatGPT in making medical diagnoses.
  • The machine gave numerous credible diagnoses, such as appendicitis and ovarian cyst problems, but it missed ectopic pregnancy.
  • On my watch, ChatGPT would not have passed its medical final examinations with that rather deadly performance.
  • ChatGPT learns
    I’m pleased to say that when I asked ChatGPT the same question about a young woman with lower abdominal pain, ChatGPT confidently stated ectopic pregnancy in the differential diagnosis.
