Marfan syndrome in a Triple-X girl: a new association?
To the best of our knowledge this association has never been reported. Some clinical features are common between Triple X and Marfan disease so a careful follow-up is needed and investigations should be performed in these patients because Marfan syndrome may be incomplete in early age.
Delays in vaccine production due to technological or logistical barriers may reduce potential benefits of vaccination for pandemic influenza, and these temporal effects can outweigh any additional theoretical benefits from population targeting. Careful modeling may provide decision makers with estimates of these effects before the epidemic peak to guide production goals and inform policy. Integration of real-time surveillance data with mathematical models holds the promise of enabling public health planners to optimize the community benefits from proposed interventions before the pandemic peak.
