Salmonella ~ CDC is collaborating with public health officials in many states and the United States Food and Drug Administration to investigate a multistate outbreak of human infections due to Salmonella serotype Typhimurium. The investigation is ongoing, and exposures to peanut butter and other peanut butter-containing products are being examined.
Hib Disease ~ Hib bacteria can cause serious disease in infants and children. Parents of infants should check vaccination records to see if their child has received all doses of Hib vaccine. If not sure, parents should call their child’s doctor, nurse, or clinic.
Child and Teen Obesity ~ There is not enough evidence to recommend for or against school-based body mass index measurement programs as an effective strategy for preventing or reducing childhood obesity. Decision makers need to consider the pros and cons. If implemented, these programs should be part of a comprehensive approach to address obesity.
Field Triage ~ To improve US emergency care and standardize decision-making at an injury scene, the CDC, along with key stakeholders, developed an algorithm called the Field Triage Decision Scheme. Learn more about this essential component of the emergency care system.
Birth Defects ~ Birth defects can cause lifelong problems with health, growth and learning. We want to find ways to prevent birth defects. To do that, we must know what causes them. Research gives us important clues about the factors that might raise or lower the risk of having a baby with a birth defect.
