FDA fully approved Pfizer's COVID-19 antiviral, Paxlovid, on May 25, transitioning from emergency use. It's the first oral treatment for mild to moderate COVID-19 in high-risk adults, with a favorable benefit-risk profile. Rebound risk is noted but not exceeding 10-16%.

New research links elevated interferon-alpha levels in blood to chronic Lyme disease symptoms post-antibiotic treatment, suggesting a potential treatment pathway. Despite the study's small scale, it shifts understanding from bacterial persistence to immune response as a cause for lingering symptoms. The need for better diagnostic tests and treatments is emphasized.

FDA approved Arexvy, the first RSV vaccine for adults over 60, marking a significant advancement after over 50 years of research. RSV causes severe illness in the young and elderly, leading to thousands of deaths annually. The vaccine, effective and with mild side effects, could drastically reduce RSV's impact. More vaccines, including for children, are in development.

FDA approved Arexvy, the first RSV vaccine for adults 60+, developed by GSK. Pfizer's similar vaccine and a maternal RSV vaccine are also nearing approval. RSV causes severe illness in older adults, leading to thousands of hospitalizations and deaths annually. The vaccine, effective before RSV season, shows 83-94% efficacy in preventing disease.

Conner Curran's Duchenne muscular dystrophy diagnosis at age 4 initially seemed hopeless, but advances in gene therapy offer new hope. With 50 treatments in development and the first gene therapy potentially FDA-approved soon, the future for Duchenne's patients is changing. Despite challenges, including treatment costs and risks, early intervention and ongoing research aim to significantly improve quality of life and outcomes for affected children.
