An outbreak of adenovirus type 8 keratoconjunctivitis in a nursing home in Madrid / Sendra Gutierrez JM in Eurosurveillance. European communicable disease monthly [Euro Surveill], Vol. 9, N° 3 (2004)

European communicable disease monthly [Euro Surveill] > Vol. 9, N° 3 (2004) Titre : An outbreak of adenovirus type 8 keratoconjunctivitis in a nursing home in Madrid Type de document : Article scientifique Auteur(s) : Sendra Gutierrez JM ; Martin Rios D ; Casas I ; Saez P ; Tovar A ; Moreno C Année de publication : 2004 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Oeil [pathologie] ; Virose ; Infection ; Epidémie ; Espagne ; Maison retraite ; Enquête épidémiologique ; Facteur risque ; Hygiène ; Personne âgée Mots-clés : 2001-2002 Résumé : This work describes and analyses an outbreak of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis which occurred in 2001 and 2002 in a nursing home for the elderly in Leganes (an area of Madrid). This is the first such published case in Spain with these characteristics and this serotype identification. Sociodemographic characteristics, epidemic curve and attack rates are described. Comparisons of the data were carried out using a chi2 test for qualitative variable and t-test for quantitative. Factors associated with the illness are explored by means of contingency tables and logistic regression models. One hundred and two cases were detected, with an attack rate of 36.4% for residents, and 12.9% for workers, not considering spatial or professional differences. The epidemic curve showed an interpersonal transmission pattern. Multivariate analysis identified the following risk factors in the residents: able to wander freely through the building, urinary incontinence and use of shared bathroom. In 34.6% of the conjunctival samples, adenovirus serotype 8 was detected with identical genomic sequence. Establishment of hygienic sanitary guidance adapted for the cleaning of such establishments and contact with residents as well as early diagnosis and good coordination of human and material resources are key factors in the prevention and control of these outbreaks in closed communities.

Foodborne outbreaks in Northern Portugal, 2002 / Correia AM in Eurosurveillance. European communicable disease monthly [Euro Surveill], Vol. 9, N° 3 (2004)  

[article]  inEurosurveillance. European communicable disease monthly [Euro Surveill] > Vol. 9, N° 3 (2004) Titre : Foodborne outbreaks in Northern Portugal, 2002 Type de document : Article scientifique Auteur(s) : Correia AM ; Goncalves G ; Saraiva MM Année de publication : 2004 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Intoxication alimentaire ; Surveillance épidémiologique ; Réseau surveillance ; Salmonellose ; Portugal ; Prévalence ; Enquête épidémiologique ; Analyse donnée Mots-clés : DECLARATION MALADIE  2002 Résumé : In October 2001, foodborne outbreaks (FBO) were included in the Portuguese alert and response surveillance system. Accordingly, the northern regional health authority (Delegado Regional de Saude do Norte--DRSN) began a surveillance programme of foodborne outbreaks. This report is a brief description of data generated from this programme in 2002. For each foodborne outbreak the local health authority (Delegado de Saude Concelhio--DSC) produced a written report. Fifty-nine percent of the 27 FBOs studied by DSCs during 2002 were reported within 72 hours after the date of onset. Five hundred and seventy seven people became ill, 9.6% of the patients were admitted to hospital, and no deaths were reported. The aetiological agent was identified from patients in 63% of FBOs, and in food items in 18.5% of the situations. Salmonella enterica was responsible for 73.7% of the outbreaks in which the agent was laboratory confirmed. Meals implicated in the outbreak were mainly prepared in restaurants and private homes (75.0% of FBO). Inadequate processing, preparing or handling of foods were the contributing factors more often reported by the DSC. We believe that epidemiological surveillance and control of FBO must be reinforced in Portugal as part of a wider strategy to promote food safety. (R.A.)
