Cytomegalovirus: Protect Your Baby
In the U.S. 1 in 750 children have disabilities due to congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Learn how to protect your baby from CMV.
Have diabetes? Get tips for safe travels
Summer is here, and so is vacation season. If you have diabetes, make plans to manage your disease while traveling so you can stay healthy and enjoy your trip.
Learn the Signs and Symptoms of TB Disease
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria that are spread through the air from person to person. If not treated properly, TB disease can be fatal. Learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of TB.
Motorcycle Safety
Helmets save motorcycle riders' lives. And universal helmet laws, which require that every motorcycle rider and passenger wear a helmet whenever they ride, can increase helmet use and save money, according to a new CDC study.
Necrotizing Fasciitis: A Rare Disease, Especially for the Healthy
Recent media stories about "flesh-eating" bacteria may have you worried. But CDC's cutting-edge tracking methods, like Active Bacterial Core surveillance (ABCs), show no rise in annual cases.
Protect Yourself and Others from Wildfire Smoke
Each year, wildfires threaten people living near wildland areas or using recreational facilities in wilderness areas. Learn more about how wildfire smoke can affect your health.
Reptiles, Amphibians, and Salmonella
Did you know that reptiles and amphibians like turtles, lizards, and frogs can carry a harmful germ called Salmonella? If there are young children in your home, reptiles and amphibians might not be safe pets for your family.
CDC.gov feature articles are written by subject matter experts and health communicators, then edited to emphasize strong call-to-action messages and friendly, meaningful visuals. While most features are topic- or event-driven, some capture the full scope of CDC's work on cross-cutting topics such as staying healthy and safe over the holidays, sending kids back to school, or CDC's global programs and outreach. CDC Features may be syndicated to other Web sites at no cost. Learn more about Content Syndication.
