Prophylactic absence from work in response to fear of infection can add considerably to the economic impact. (Source: BMJ Online First)

As a group representing professional women working in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, social sciences, medicine and health in a leading UK university, we found your report on the lecture by Jill Berry, president of the Girls' Schools Association (Girls 'need to be realistic' about careers, 14 November) utterly depressing. We are saddened that arguments for equal opportunities have to be made over and over again. Berry asserts that a woman's aspiration for a high-flying career can "all work fine, until their children are ill", ignoring the fact that parents, male and female, often share this responsibility.We...

That person understood that their supervisor's bad mood was caused by stress.O.K., that was over a year ago and many people are still dealing with stressed out bosses and doing the work of three people.
