Sexual Contact as Risk Factor for Campylobacter Infection,Denmark

Campylobacteriosis is a disease of worldwide importance, but aspects of its transmission dynamics, particularly risk factors, are still poorly understood. We used data from a matched case-control study of 4,269 men who have sex with men (MSM) and 26,215 controls, combined with national surveillance data on Campylobacter spp., Salmonella spp., and Shigella spp., to calculate matched odds ratios (mORs) for infection among MSM and controls. MSM had higher odds of Campylobacter (mOR 14, 95% CI 10–21) and Shigella (mOR 74, 95% CI 27–203) infections, but not Salmonella (mOR 0.2, 95% CI 0–13), and were less likely than controls to have acquired Campylobacter infection abroad (χ² = 21; p<0.001). Our results confirm that sexual contact is a risk factor for campylobacteriosis and also suggest explanations for unique features of Campylobacter epidemiology. These findings provide a baseline for updating infection risk guidelines to the general population.     

Extraintestinal Seeding of Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhi,Pakistan

We evaluated Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi strains isolated from all body sites in Pakistan during 2013–2018. Despite an increase in overall number of localized, extensively drug-resistant Salmonella Typhi in organ infections during 2018, there was no increase in the proportion of such isolates in comparison with non–extensively drug-resistant isolates.     

Murine Typhus in Canary Islands,Spain, 1999–2015

To document the epidemiology, clinical features, and outcomes of murine typhus patients in the Canary Islands (Spain), we analyzed data that were retrospectively collected for 16 years for 221 patients. Murine typhus in the Canary Islands is characterized by a high rate of complications (31.6%), mainly liver, lung, kidney or central nervous system involvement.     

High Case-Fatality Rate for Human Anthrax,Northern Ghana, 2005–2016

The human cutaneous anthrax case-fatality rate is ≈1% when treated, 5%–20% when untreated. We report high case-fatality rates (median 35.0%; 95% CI 21.1%–66.7%) during 2005–2016 linked to livestock handling in northern Ghana, where veterinary resources are limited. Livestock vaccination and access to human treatment should be evaluated.

加酶义齿清洁剂对口腔厌氧菌的杀菌效果实验

目的 :通过对清洁前后的义齿表面进行细菌培养 ,了解加酶义齿清洁剂对口腔厌氧菌的杀菌效果。方法 :从临床选取 8付正在使用的全口义齿 ,随机分为两组 ,其中一组浸泡在加酶义齿清洁剂中 ,另一组不做任何处理 ,再从义齿表面取菌 ,比较细菌培养结果。结果使用加酶义齿清洁剂组经菌落计数lg均值为 0 ;未使用加酶义齿清洁剂组菌落计数lg均值为 3 .4 4。统计学结果表明 :使用加酶义齿清洁剂组与未使用加酶义齿清洁剂组相比较 ,菌落计数有极显著性差异 (P <0 .0 0 1)。结论加酶义齿清洁剂对义齿表面的口腔厌氧菌具有杀灭作用     

2015—2019年四川省流感哨点监测结果分析

目的 描述四川省2015—2019年流感病毒流行特征,为疫情防控提供依据。方法 对流感监测系统上报的流感样病例数据开展回顾性流行病学分析。结果 2015—2019年间,四川省共监测流感样病例标本131 477份,其中阳性标本23 844份,流感阳性率为18.14%。2015—2019年四川省优势流感亚型主要为甲型H1N1,季节性H3N2和B(Victoria)系流感。流感阳性率随月份、季节而改变,四川省流感阳性率高峰主要出现在冬季,其次为秋季。甲型流感主要在秋冬季流行,乙型流感主要在冬春季流行。流感病毒阳性检出率在5～14岁组年龄段最高。结论 四川省流感有明显的冬季流行高峰,各型别呈交替流行。秋冬季应加强流感防控工作;甲型和乙型流感好发于5～14岁群体,应继续加强对儿童学生流感的防控。     

三种感染性疾病降钙素原水平比较

目的探讨降钙素原(PCT)辅助细菌性脓毒症诊断的可靠性,以及在革兰阴性菌和革兰阳性菌感染鉴别中的意义。方法本项目收集的研究对象为2013年1月-2018年12月,深圳市龙岗中心医院感染科收治的细菌性脓毒症患者131例、登革热患者30例,流行性感冒患者30例。分别检测三组患者体内PCT水平。结果脓毒症组PCT为2.30(0.18,100)ng/ml高于登革热组0.27(0.09,0.54)ng/ml(P<0.001)及流感组0.04(0.01,0.35)ng/ml(P<0.001);而登革热组与流感组相比,PCT浓度则无统计学意义(P=0.128);其次,在脓毒症组中,革兰阴性菌感染者的PCT浓度高于革兰阳性菌感染者(P<0.001)。结论 PCT高浓度对细菌性脓毒症的诊断精确可靠。另外,革兰阴性菌和革兰阳性菌感染者体内降钙素原的浓度明显不同,这可作为两种细菌感染的鉴别依据。
