Cases were reported from seven of eight companies that received food from the same catering kitchen. Stool specimens from three patients from two companies were positive for Campylobacter jejuni. We performed a retrospective cohort study among employees exposed to canteen food in the three largest companies to identify the source of the outbreak and to prevent further spread. Using self-administered questionnaires we collected information on disease, days of canteen food eaten and food items consumed. The catering kitchen was inspected and food samples were taken. Questionnaires were returned by 295/348 (85%) employees. Of 247 employees who ate canteen food, 79 were cases, and the attack rate (AR) was 32%. Consuming canteen food on 25 May was associated with illness (AR 75/204, RR=3.2, 95%CI 1.3-8.2). Consumption of chicken salad on this day, but not other types of food, was associated with illness (AR=43/97, RR=2.3, 95%CI 1.3-4.1). Interviews with kitchen staff indicated the likelihood of cross-contamination from raw chicken to the chicken salad during storage. This is the first recognised major Campylobacter outbreak associated with contaminated chicken documented in Denmark. It is plausible that food handling practices contributed to transmission, and awareness of safe food handling and storage has since been raised among kitchen staff. The low number of positive specimens accrued in this outbreak suggests a general underascertainment of adult cases in the laboratory reporting system by a factor of 20. (R.A.)

Excess mortality among the elderly in 12 European countries, February and March 2012 / Mazick A in Eurosurveillance. European communicable disease monthly [Euro Surveill], Vol. 17, N° 14 (Avril 2012)

These preliminary data indicate that the impact of influenza in Europe differs from the recent pandemic and post-pandemic seasons. The current excess mortality among the elderly may be related to the return of influenza A(H3N2) virus, potentially with added effects of a cold snap.

Hepatitis A outbreak among MSM linked to casual sex and gay saunas in Copenhagen, Denmark / Mazick A in Eurosurveillance. European communicable disease quarterly [Euro Surveill (quaterly)], Vol. 10, N° 4-6 (04/2005)  

[article]  inEurosurveillance. European communicable disease quarterly [Euro Surveill (quaterly)] > Vol. 10, N° 4-6 (04/2005) . - 111-4 Titre : Hepatitis A outbreak among MSM linked to casual sex and gay saunas in Copenhagen, Denmark Type de document : Article scientifique Auteur(s) : Mazick A ; Howitz M ; Rex S ; Jensen IP ; Weis N ; Katzenstein TL ; Haff J ; Molbak K Année de publication : 2005 Article en page(s) : 111-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Hépatite virale ; Homosexualité ; Epidémie ; Comportement sexuel ; Danemark ; Enquête cas témoin ; Homme ; Europe ; Facteur risque Résumé : During an outbreak of hepatitis A predominantly among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2004, we did a case-control study to determine risk factors for infection. A case was an MSM >17 years, living in Copenhagen, with IgM positive hepatitis A infection diagnosed between June and August 2004, and without a household contact with a hepatitis A case before onset of illness. Controls were selected at the Copenhagen Pride Festival. The study included 18 cases and 64 controls. Sixteen of 18 cases and 36/63 controls had sex with casual partners (ORMH 5.6, 95% CI 1.2-26.9). Eleven of 18 cases and 14/62 controls had sex in gay saunas (ORMH 4.2, 95% CI 1.5-11.5). Sex at private homes appeared to be protective (ORMH 0.2, 95% CI 0.1-0.7). Casual sex including sex in gay saunas was an important risk factor for the spread of HAV among MSM in Copenhagen. The results are in accordance with findings in other European outbreaks. As the general immunity to hepatitis A decreases and the outbreak potential increases, we recommend health education and hepatitis A vaccination to all MSM not living in monogamous relationships, especially if they visit gay saunas or other places with frequent partner change. To stop spread of hepatitis A among MSM in Europe, a European consensus on prevention and control measures may be required. (R.A.)

Hepatitis A vaccination policy for travellers to Egypt in eight European countries, 2004 / Ward M in Eurosurveillance. European communicable disease quarterly [Euro Surveill (quaterly)], Vol. 11, N° 1-3 (03/2006) 

[article]  inEurosurveillance. European communicable disease quarterly [Euro Surveill (quaterly)] > Vol. 11, N° 1-3 (03/2006) . - 37-9 Titre : Hepatitis A vaccination policy for travellers to Egypt in eight European countries, 2004 Type de document : Article scientifique Auteur(s) : Ward M ; Borgen K ; Mazick A ; Muehlen M Année de publication : 2006 Article en page(s) : 37-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Hépatite virale ; Voyageur ; Egypte ; Vaccination ; Europe ; Epidémie ; Surveillance épidémiologique ; Questionnaire Résumé : In 2004, an outbreak of hepatitis A occurred in European tourists returning from Egypt. The reported hepatitis A attack rates varied considerably between tourists from different European countries. To determine the reason for this divergence in attack rates, a survey was undertaken with the following objectives : (a) documentation of national hepatitis A prevention policies for people travelling to Egypt and (b) documentation of hepatitis A reporting practices in these countries. A questionnaire was compiled and distributed to 13 European countries. All eight of the countries that responded had produced guidelines for the prevention of travel-associated hepatitis A. Between 2001-2003, 40% (range 4-51) of hepatitis A cases reported annually were associated with travel abroad. This occurred despite the fact that all countries recommended active vaccination with hepatitis A vaccine for people travelling to Egypt for holidays. There was no standard case definition for reporting confirmed cases in the countries that reported hepatitis A cases. As it is likely that travel-associated infections will increase as more people take overseas holidays, innovative ways to increase the number of travellers who seek and adhere to appropriate medical advice prior to travel must be explored. In addition, we recommend the use of the European Commission case definition for notification of confirmed cases of hepatitis A. (R.A.)

Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Mortalité ; Enfant ; Pandémie ; Etude comparée ; Europe Résumé : The paper describes weekly fluctuations of all-cause mortality observed in eight European countries during the period between week 27 and 51, 2009, in comparison with three previous years. Our preliminary data show that the mortality reported during the 2009 influenza pandemic did not reach levels normally seen during seasonal influenza epidemics. However, there was a cumulative excess mortality of 77 cases (1 per 100,000 population) in 5-14-year-olds, and possibly also among 0-4-year-olds.
