Intrahospital mortality of influenza patients during the 2017-2018 influenza season : Report from a tertiary care hospital in Austria.
Seasonal influenza is responsible for excess mortality and morbidity all over the northern hemisphere. To the authors' knowledge there are no comprehensive data available about morbidity and mortality of hospitalized influenza patients in Austria. The aim of this study was to assess the intrahospital mortality of hospitalized patients with influenza in this tertiary care hospital. ⋯ The results of the present study show a high hospitalization and intrahospital mortality rate of influenza patients in a tertiary care hospital during the 2017-2018 influenza season in Austria.

Low seroprotection rate for meningococcus serogroup C in the adult HIV-1-infected population in Austria.
Current Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) guidelines recommend immunization of all human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients against meningitis serotype ACWY due to recent outbreaks of meningitis C in homosexual men in the USA. Implementation of this recommendation in other countries, such as Austria is hindered by the scarce knowledge on the vaccine coverage. In this study the serostatus for meningococcus serogroup C was analyzed in 390 HIV-infected individuals residing in Austria. ⋯ Migrants and patients who had acquired an infection via heterosexual intercourse had a higher chance for meningococcus serogroup C seropositivity. Importantly due to the well-preserved immune status of nearly all participants vaccination would be feasible in the majority of the seronegative patients. It is assumed that this measure would largely reduce the number of patients at risk for this vaccine-preventable disease.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparisons of venous indwelling needles and intravenous infusion with steel needles in pediatric outpatient care.
To compare the application effects of venous indwelling needles and intravenous infusion with steel needles in pediatric outpatient care and to observe the complications of the two approaches. ⋯ The children's psychological impacts are relatively small when comparing the venous indwelling needle with the steel needle. Moreover, venous indwelling needles avoid repeated punctures; therefore, the parents' satisfaction in nursing is improved, and it is worth popularizing.
