"We’re in the midst of a bad cold and flu season in Australia. Along with the
usual viral suspects, such as influenza, RSV, and rhinoviruses (which cause the
common cold), bacterial pathogens are also causing significant rates of
illness, particularly in children. These include
Bordatella pertussis
(whooping cough) and
Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Meanwhile, SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID) is responsible for
recurring waves of infection as it continues to evolve and mutate into new
variants which keep it a step ahead of our immunity.
The latest variant is nicknamed “FLuQE”, and is reportedly gaining traction in
Australia and other countries. So what is there to know about FLuQE?"
