    • The fight to keep resistance at bay, epidemiology of carbapenemase producing organisms (CPOs), vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Norway, 2006-2017 

      Elstrøm, Petter; Astrup, Elisabeth; Hegstad, Kristin; Samuelsen, Ørjan; Enger, Hege; Kacelnik, Oliver (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-04)
      <p><i>Introduction - </i>Scandinavian countries have traditionally had a low prevalence of resistant organisms, but have in recent years experienced a change in their epidemiology. We aim to describe the epidemiology of carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and methicillin-resistant <i>S. aureus</i> (MRSA) in Norway, measure the importance of infections ...

    • Infection prevention guidelines and considerations for paediatric risk groups when reopening primary schools during COVID-19 pandemic, Norway, April 2020

      In response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, most countries implemented school closures. In Norway, schools closed on 13 March 2020. The evidence of effect on disease transmission was limited, while negative consequences were evident. Before reopening, risk-assessment for paediatric risk groups was performed, concluding that most children can attend school with few conditions requiring ...

      Ueland, Thor; Astrup, Elisabeth; Otterdal, Kari; Lekva, Tove; Janardhanan, Jeshina; Prakash, John A.; Thomas, Kurien; Michelsen, Annika; Aukrust, Pål; Varghese, George M.; Damås, Jan Kristian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-29)
      Background - The mechanisms that control local and systemic inflammation in scrub typhus have only been partially elucidated. The wingless (Wnt) signaling pathways are emerging as important regulators of inflammation and infection, but have not been investigated in scrub typhus. <p> <p>Methodology/Principal findings - Plasma levels of secreted Wnt antagonists (i.e. DKK-1, sFRP-3, WIF-1 and SOST) ...
