The evidence is still unclear as to the efficacy of this intervention and this report provides a comprehensive overview of available literature, and discusses the benefits and problems with the administration of PEP in certain circumstances. It also clearly re-emphasises that the most effective way to prevent transmission of HIV is to prevent exposure, and any programme of PEP administration should not replace primary prevention.

So far, the avian influenza virus seems difficult to transmit from human to human, but changes in the virus genome may well increase transmissibility. Possibly worse, a person or animal (such as a pig) could become co-infected with human and avian influenza. These viruses could then combine, creating a very novel influenza virus that is both highly pathogenic and easily transmitted to humans.

In these countries, community-acquired infections caused by these strains appear to be increasingly frequent and represent a therapeutic problem, due to their multiple resistance to several antibiotic classes, including penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones. To our knowledge, such strains have not yet been described in Belgium. We report here the emergence and rapid increase in the prevalence of CTX-M producing E. coli clinical isolates from patients attending the Erasme hospital in Brussels, Belgium.

Incidence rates of seroconversion and the residual risk for HBV, HIV and HCV were calculated among Spanish repeat donors between 1997 and 1999 at 22 blood donation centres, and at 7 centres between 2000 and 2002. The residual risk per million donations was estimated to be 18.67 for HBV, 2.49 for HIV and 10.96 for HCV (between 1997 and 1999). For the 2000-2002 period, the residual risk per million donations was estimated to be 9.78 for HBV, 2.48 for HIV and 3.94 for HCV. Between 1999 and 2003, about 3.4 million donations were tested by NAT, mainly in pools of 44 donations, in 12 of the 22 Spanish blood donation centres participating in the study. Eight anti-HCV negative and HCV-RNA positive donations were found, which represent an approximate yield of 1/420,000, versus a projected yield of 1/240,000 obtained from 1995-1997 data. The residual risks of transfusion-transmitted viral infections in Spain were low, and with the implementation of NAT these risks are even lower.

During the transition period, an EIA test to detect hepatitis C core antigen (HCVcoreAg) had also been permitted. Considering the large number of blood transfusion centres in Italy, an initial reorganisation of the biological validation of blood units was necessary, with a partial centralisation of NAT testing. The Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio delle Malattie Trasmissibili con la Trasfusione (Italian Group for the Study of Transfusion-Transmissible Diseases) conducted a national survey evaluating NAT testing, based on an annual collection of data through a questionnaire sent to all centres. In the first three years of the investigation, 219 blood transfusion centres returned the questionnaires. In the period between January 2001 and December 2003, 3,894,894 blood donations were investigated for HCV RNA and 2,186,468 for HIV RNA. Of these, 12 were found to be HCV RNA positive and four HIV RNA positive, with an observed NAT versus antibody-based assay yield of 3.1/106 donations for HCV and 1.8/106 donations for HIV, respectively. Five of the 12 HCV RNA positive and anti-HCV negative donors had abnormal ALT values and their donations would have been discarded even in absence of NAT testing. Thus the final NAT yield for HCV is 1.79/106. The residual risk for HCV or HIV transmission by blood transfusion after NAT implementation is currently estimated to be extremely low in Italy.

First, the lack of a generally accepted case definition and secondly the quality of national surveillance of TBE cases. Ideally, reported cases should be confirmed and the clinically relevant cases with central nervous system (CNS) disease should be separated from febrile cases without CNS manifestations. The surveillance of TBE in the European countries is not uniform and not always mandatory. Efforts to reach a final diagnosis, especially in less severe cases and in children, varies as well as the awareness of the disease in low endemic regions. The only relevant and stable basis for national surveillance is cases with established CNS disease, although immunity to TBE virus after less severe febrile illness is of interest on individual basis. The ratio of non-CNS disease to CNS disease is generally believed to be about three, but there are regional differences in virulence. Significantly, age related differences are basically unknown.

The frequency (or risk) of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV infectious donations entering the UK blood supply during 1996-2003 has been estimated. These years span the introduction of nucleic acid testing (NAT) for HCV, HIV combination antigen and antibody test and NAT for HIV. The frequency of an infectious donation entering the blood supply due to i) the window period, ii) assay failures and iii) human and technical errors in testing and processing, was estimated. The window period risk was estimated using the incidence of infection in donors and the length of the window period for tests in use, with an adjustment for atypical inter-donation intervals in seroconverting donors. The estimated frequency of infectious donations entering the blood supply during 1996-2003 was 1.66, 0.80 and 0.14 per million for HBV, HCV and HIV respectively. HCV NAT resulted in an over 95% fall in the risk of HCV. Current usage of HIV combined antibody-antigen tests and of HIV NAT reduced the estimated risk of HIV by 10%. Since 1996, the risk of transfusion-transmitted HBV, HCV and HIV infection in the UK has been lowered by several improvements to donation testing, although the absolute reduction in risk has been small. Vigilance for errors and the affects of donor selection may be as or more important than further reductions to window periods of tests for improving blood safety with respect to HBV, HCV and HIV.

The objectives of OSIRIS were to improve timeliness and completeness of surveillance data on infectious diseases reported from regional to national level. We compared the timeliness of infectious diseases reported by the conventional paper-based system in 2001 with those reported by OSIRIS in 2003. Two distinct types of delay were compared: (1) total delay: defined as time between symptom onset and reporting at national level and (2) central delay: defined as time between regional and national reporting. Median delays between both systems were compared using the Wilcoxon Rank Sum-Test. We also compared electronic reports received via OSIRIS in 2003 to those received through the conventional system for 2001 for completeness of specific data fields. The Fisher exact test and the Mantel-Haenzel test with Yates correction were used to determine the significance of proportions of completed data fields in each system. Results showed the median central delay was significantly reduced for all diseases in OSIRIS compared to conventional reporting system. Overall, the median central delay was reduced from 10 days (interquartile range 4) in 2001 to 1 day (interquartile range 1) in 2003. Except for cases of malaria, the total delay, from symptom onset to national reporting, was also significantly reduced. In addition, OSIRIS records contained more complete information than conventional records. In total, in 2003, 92.3% of data field examined were complete compared with 81.3% in 2001. This study documents the benefits of electronic reporting of infectious disease surveillance data in terms of improved timeliness and completeness.

The process was facilitated by the simultaneous introduction of electronic data transfer within the public health system. Reporting laboratories have not been electronically connected to this network. A survey by means of a postal questionnaire was conducted in 2003 among 537 German medical microbiology laboratories to explore their reporting habits, preference for electronic reporting formats, and relevant software equipment. Almost 90% of the respondents indicated a reporting delay of no more than 24 hours and 45% were still manually filling in paper forms for reporting purposes. The introduction of electronic reporting formats was favoured by 74% of the laboratories although 33% were not using any microbiology-specific software and the remaining 67% listed 62 different products. Pilot projects with selected software manufacturers might help to pave the way for the implementation of a standardised electronic infectious disease reporting format in Germany.(R.A.)

This report describes the response model of the Istituto Nazionale per le Malattie Infettive Lazzaro Spallanzani (INMI), Rome, Italy for managing patients suspected of or affected by smallpox or viral haemorrhagic fever (VHF) either in the context of an intentional release or natural occurrence. The INMI is Italy's leading hospital in its preparedness and response plan to bioterrorism-related infectious agents. All single and double rooms of INMI are equipped with negative air pressure, sealed doors, high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and a fully-equipped anteroom; moreover, a dedicated high isolation unit with a laboratory next door for the initial diagnostic assays is available for admission of sporadic patients requiring high isolation. For patient transportation, two fully equipped ambulances and two stretcher isolators with a negative pressure section are available. Biomolecular and traditional diagnostic assays are currently performed in the biosafety level 3/4 (BSL 3/4) laboratories. Continuing education and training of hospital staff, consistent application of infection control practices, and availability of adequate personnel protective equipment are additional resources implemented for the care of highly infectious patients and to maintain the readiness of an appropriately trained workforce to handle large scale outbreaks.

In May 2003, early in the epidemic, we conducted a retrospective study to describe suspected SARS patients hospitalised in France and compared them with documented cases of patients with SARS to evaluate the screening strategy. A total of 117 patients were studied. Only 3.4% had been in close contact with a SARS patient but 73.5% came from an affected area. 67.5% had fever and respiratory symptoms on their admission to hospital. 49.6% had fever and non specific symptoms. Clinical symptoms that were significantly more common among patients with SARS were fever, myalgia, dyspnoea, and nausea or vomiting. Presumed viral fever and respiratory tract infection were the most common diagnosis. Symptoms cannot be distinguished from an early stage of SARS confirming the usefulness of the WHO case definitions in isolation decision to avoid further transmission.

Access to public health care for this population depends on national regulations, and their legal status in host countries. In this manuscript we describe a case study of a salmonellosis outbreak that occurred in Norway, and highlight the difficulties encountered in applying control measures in a population of seasonal migrant farm workers. Surveillance and control of infectious diseases need to be supported by legislation which makes implementation of control measures possible. Efforts have been made to improve the rights for migrants in Europe with regard to healthcare, but seasonal migrant workers still remain largely outsiders where these measures are concerned. Special attention should be given to this disadvantaged group in terms of social rights and healthcare. Preparedness plans should be improved to deal with contagious pathogens involving the seasonal migrant population.

Over the past two decades, a series of overlapping safety procedures have been successively implemented to minimise this risk. It is now generally considered that the risk of transmitting viral infections via blood products is very low in developed countries. The present study analyses the incidence of the key infectious diseases HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) between 1996 and 2003 from 99% of voluntary repeat blood donors visiting the blood transfusion service of the Swiss Red Cross. Furthermore the estimated risk of these viral markers was calculated. From 1996 to 2003 the incidence rate for HCV decreased continuously, whereas no significant decrease in the incidence rate of HIV and HBV was observed. From 2001 to 2003, the last calculated period, the residual risk was estimated to be 1 in 1,900,000 for HIV, 1 in 2,200,0000 for HCV and 1 in 115,000 for HBV, respectively. This agrees with international studies, which have been shown that the estimated residual risk for HBV between 1996 and 2003 is higher than that of HCV and HIV. (R.A.)

La prévalence et l'incidence des infections virales importantes sont faibles dans la population des donneurs de sang en Allemagne, avec une tendance à la baisse depuis 1997 pour les infections de l'hépatite C, que ce soit chez les donneurs connus ou les nouveaux donneurs. La mise en place du dépistage génomique viral (DGV) pour le virus de l'hépatite C (VHC), obligatoire depuis 1999, a considérablement amélioré la sécurité virale des produits sanguins. Pour le VIH, le DGV est devenu obligatoire en 2004, mais était utilisé avant cette date sur la base du volontariat dans la plupart des services de transfusion sanguine. Le bénéfice potentiel du DGV en minipool n'est pas évident dans le cas du virus de l'hépatite B (VHB) car les porteurs chroniques avec un taux viral très faible pourraient faire un don sans être identifiés. Le risque résiduel infectieux, durant la fenêtre sérologique, d'un don entrant dans un pool de sang peut être estimé par la formule mathématique suivante : taux d'incidence multiplié par le nombre de jours au cours desquels une infection peut être présente mais non décelable ¿ soit la durée de la fenêtre sérologique. En 2001/2002, sans le DGV, le risque d'une infection non détectée était estimé à 1 pour 2 770 000 pour le VIH, 1 pour 670 000 pour le VHC et 1 pour 230 000 pour le VHB. Avec le DGV en minipool, ce risque est de 1 pour 5 540 000 pour le VIH, 1 pour 4 400 000 pour le VHC et 1 pour 620 000 pour le VHB. Ces résultats montrent l'intérêt du DGV pour la réduction du risque infectieux, déjà très faible, des dons de sang. (R.A.)

L'étude suivante fait partie de l'analyse concernant le VHZ menée dans le cadre du Réseau européen de surveillance sérologique 2 (ESEN2).Y sont décrites les politiques de vaccination passive actuelles, ainsi que les stratégies d'immunisation active en cours et à l'étude, et les systèmes de surveillance des maladies dues au virus de l'herpès zoster dans les pays participant au réseau ESEN. Un questionnaire a été élaboré et envoyé aux 23 pays participants. Actuellement, un vaccin contre le VHZ est commercialisé dans 14 des 20 pays participant à ESEN. L'Allemagne est le seul pays à avoir inclu le vaccin anti VHZ dans son programme de vaccination pédiatrique en routine. Trois autres pays recommandent la vaccination contre le VHZ chez les enfants, et cinq pays ont le projet d'inclure ce vaccin en routine pour les enfants. Cependant, sur les huit pays ayant introduit cette vaccination pour les enfants, ou en instance de le faire, seuls six ont une déclaration obligatoire de la varicelle basée sur les cas, et seuls deux pays ont des données de surveillance de soins primaires pour l'herpès zoster.

European communicable disease quarterly [Euro Surveill (quaterly)] > Vol. 10, N° 1-3 (2005) . - 30-3 Titre : Harmonisation of the acute respiratory infection reporting system in the Czech Republic with the European community networks Type de document : Article scientifique Auteur(s) : Kyncl J ; Paget WJ ; Havlickova M ; Kriz B Année de publication : 2005 Article en page(s) : 30-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Infection ; Surveillance épidémiologique ; Réseau surveillance ; Grippe ; Infection respiratoire aiguë ; Europe ; République tchèque ; Amélioration ; Harmonisation Résumé : En Europe, l'activité des virus respiratoires est détectée chaque hiver, bien que le début et l'ampleur de cette activité soient pratiquement imprévisibles. L'impact de l'infection grippale et/ou des infections respiratoires aiguës dans les pays européens fait l'objet d'une surveillance en continu par plusieurs systèmes de surveillance. Toutes ces sources d'informations sont utilisées pour évaluer la nature et l'étendue de l'activité grippale et des autres virus respiratoires, et proposer des recommandations sur la prévention et le contrôle de la morbidité et la mortalité dues à la grippe tant au niveau local que national et international. Le système d'alerte précoce pour une épidémie de grippe est basé essentiellement sur l'utilisation d'une série de seuils. En République Tchèque, le système de notification des infections respiratoires aiguës (IRA), avec un traitement automatisé des données, utilise un modèle statistique pour la détection précoce des taux anormalement élevés des indicateurs suivis. Sont recueillies les données sur le nombre d'IRA, le nombre de complications dues à ces infections et la population enregistrée via les notifications des médecins généralistes et des pédiatres, l'ensemble de ces données étant recueillies séparément selon cinq groupes d'âge. Pour améliorer le système de notification en République Tchèque, depuis janvier 2004, les données cliniques sur l'incidence hebdomadaire des syndromes grippaux (SG) sont recueillies au sein de cette même population et par tranches d'âge. Ces données répondent à la définition de cas de SG récemment adoptée par la Commission Européenne, permettant une comparaison avec d'autres pays européens, en particulier ceux participant au réseau EISS (European Influenza Surveillance Scheme).

An investigation was conducted, consulting different community and hospital health services, to determine the virus circulation in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA) region by the southern interregional epidemiological cell. The investigation identified 259 cases: 183 clinical, 74 serologically confirmed and 2 epidemiologically linked cases. The first cases were identified during the first six months of 2003, with a peak in April. This outbreak of measles in the PACA region was favoured by poor vaccination coverage, which created groups of susceptible population. The real number of cases was probably higher than the number identified. This investigation has outlined the limitations of the measles surveillance system in France: the sentinel network had not detected any case for this period. France needs to reach the WHO objective of measles elimination by 2010 and the surveillance tools used must be those already used in the most countries that are furthest advanced in the elimination process. To reach this goal, the Direction Générale de la Santé has nominated a working group to be in charge of proposing a national plan to interrupt indigenous measles transmission in France PMID Pubmed : Pubmed : 15701935 Corpus : Production scientifique InVS Permalink : http://opac.invs.sante.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=5738 [article]

These trends were analysed in France over 4 periods of 3 years (1992-1994, 1995-1997, 1998-2000 and 2001-2003). The 2001-2003 estimates were compared to the results of HIV-1 and HCV NAT implemented on all blood donations in July 2001. Due to improvements in donor recruitment and selection, continuing progress in screening assays, and preventive measures taken in the community to control infections, a significant decrease was observed in residual risks for HIV, HCV and HBV between 1992 and 2003. The residual risk is currently extremely low: for the 2001-2003 period, this risk was estimated at 1 in 3.15 million donations for HIV, at 1 in 10 million for HCV and at 1 in 640,000 for HBV. Of the 6.14 million donations screened with NAT between July 2001 and December 2003 in France, 2 HIV-positive and 3 HCV-positive donations were discarded thanks to NAT, representing a yield of 1 in 3.07 million for HIV and 1 in 2.05 million for HCV. These results show the limited benefit of NAT and suggest that its cost-effectiveness is poor PMID Pubmed : Pubmed : 15735313 Corpus : Production scientifique InVS Permalink : http://opac.invs.sante.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=5741 [article]
