The Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) has developed resources for various high-consequence pathogens.

COVID-19

Find extensive resources for healthcare professionals developed during the COVID-19 pandemic that can help when treating patients or when triaging and prioritizing resources.

Mpox

SCCM has compiled resources on what clinicians need to know about mpox (formerly called monkeypox). While mpox is usually a self-limited disease, severe cases can occur, so it is important for critical care clinicians to recognize potential mpox infections.

Acute Flaccid Myelitis

Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is a rare, life-threatening neurologic condition that affects mostly children and can lead to permanent paralysis. Patients with AFM have sudden onset of acute flaccid limb weakness without a known cause and with lesions in spinal cord gray matter. In the United States, AFM has peaked every two years since 2014 between August and November, likely due to enteroviruses.
