Public Health Response to a Case of Paralytic Poliomyelitis in an Unvaccinated Person and Detection of Poliovirus in Wastewater — New York, June–August 2022
CDC/MMWR
19 August 2022

Link-Gelles R, Lutterloh E, Schnabel Ruppert P, et al.
Based on the typical incubation period for paralytic polio, the presumed period of exposure occurred 7 to 21 days before the onset of paralysis. Epidemiologic investigation revealed that the patient attended a large gathering 8 days before symptom onset and had not traveled internationally during the presumed exposure period. No other notable or known potential exposures were identified.

Bloodborne Viral Pathogen Contamination in the Era of Laboratory Automation (NEW 7/14, Website, Publication)
AACC, Clinical Chemistry

Bryan A., et.al
An interesting reference for testing for SARS-CoV-2 and others — A low level of viral contamination of automated clinical laboratory equipment occurs in clinical use. Given the risks associated with highly infectious agents, there is a need for risk-mitigation procedures when handling all samples.
