NEW STUDY | Menzies’ researchers have led the largest-ever study of people living with a unique strain of chronic hepatitis B (C4 hep B), uncovering significant impacts on liver health. Learn more about these findings and the work of the Hep B PAST Plus program: www.menzies.edu.au/page/News_an...

The Hep B PAST program is delivering real change 🙌 This latest study is part of this innovative program by @menziesresearch.bsky.social improving hepatitis B outcomes. Proud to have been able to work with this team.

This large cohort study estimates key clinical parameters for sub-genotype C4 hepatitis B virus (uniquely found in Northern Australia), and explores the potential impact of expanded @who.int treatment guidelines in this context.

Thrilled to share our new research led by Jane Davies @menziesresearch.bsky.social on First Nations people in the NT living with chronic hepatitis B. An important study that could inform better care:

For a case-based discussion about melioidosis 🧫 listen to our @febrilepodcast.bsky.social episode “Of Microbes and Mud” from earlier this year. febrilepodcast.com/febrile-94-o...

Trimethoprim / sulfamethoxazole is a key antibiotic 💊 used in the treatment of melioidosis. Over a 5-year period we show that >50% of individuals treated for melioidosis with this drug have an adverse reaction. #ISID #IJID doi.org/10.1016/j.ij...

We systematically looked at cases of melioidosis with and without respiratory viral co-infection 😷 in @ofidjournal.bsky.social and found no evidence of a clinical difference between these groups. academic.oup.com/ofid/advance...

The wet season has arrived! ⛈️ Sharing our two new papers on clinical aspects of melioidosis 🧫 in the Top End of Australia 🐊🇦🇺 — work done with Prof Bart Currie and Prof Jane Davies at Menzies School of Health Research #IDSky
