At that time, there was no community transmission in France. The index case, a 10-year-old girl, had travelled to the United Kingdom with her school class. Of the 81 symptomatic cases, 35 were confirmed and 46 were probable; 48 of the cases were female. Three were adults and 78 were children (median age of the children was 7.9 years, range: 6 months to 12 years). Control measures were implemented as soon as a new case was confirmed in a school, which included active case finding among the pupils in the same class as the index case, setting up a dedicated influenza outpatient clinic that families were recommended to consult if necessary, prophylactic treatment of contacts and school closure. A retrospective study was conducted on all confirmed cases and all symptomatic cases who had consulted the dedicated outpatient clinic from 17 to 27 June 2009. Further work is needed to better define conditions under which the pandemic virus can be transmitted in schools and in households. (R.A.)

Absence of infection in asymptomatic contacts of index SARS case in France / Le Vu S in Eurosurveillance. European communicable disease quarterly [Euro Surveill (quaterly)], Vol. 11, N° 1-3 (03/2006)

We conducted a serological survey to assess whether or not asymptomatic persons who had been in contact with this patient during his infectious stage had been infected. They were interviewed and asked to provide a blood sample for SARS coronavirus immunoglobulin G antibody testing. Despite the likely high infectivity of the SARS patient, no asymptomatic SARS infection was found in any of the 37 contacts included. These findings support a SARS case definition that is essentially based on clinical and epidemiological assessment, should SARS re-emerge. (R.A.)

Actualités sur les infections à Clostridium difficile / Blanckaert K in La Revue de médecine interne [Rev Med Interne], Vol. 29, N° 3 (10/2008)

Cet article résume les principales connaissances des infections à C. difficile et leur évolution récente. Actualités et points forts. - Depuis 2003, des épidémies de diarrhées sévères à C. difficile ont été décrites au Canada et aux États-Unis. Ces épidémies sont liées à l'émergence et à la dissémination d'un clone particulier de C. difficile appelé 027 en référence à son profil par PCR-ribotypage ou North American pulsotype 1 (NAP1) en référence à son profil en électrophorèse en champ pulsé. Ce clone possède la particularité de produire in vitro des quantités plus importantes de toxines A et B et d'être positif pour une troisième toxine appelée toxine binaire. Ce clone a été diffusé en Grande-Bretagne, en Belgique, aux Pays-Bas et plus récemment en France où il a été responsable d'épidémies, principalement dans la région Nord-Pas-de-Calais.

Aichi virus, norovirus, astrovirus, enterovirus, and rotavirus involved in clinical cases from a French oyster-related gastroenteritis outbreak / Le Guyader FS in Journal of clinical microbiology [J Clin Microbiol], Vol. 46, N° 12 (12/2008)

Twelve stool samples from different individuals were collected. Analysis showed that eight samples were positive for multiple enteric viruses, and one stool sample had seven different enteric viruses. Analysis of shellfish implicated in the outbreak allowed detection of the same diversity of enteric viruses, with some viral genomic sequences being identical to those obtained from stool sample analysis. Shellfish were contaminated by as many as five different enteric viruses. For the first time in Europe, Aichi virus was identified in oyster samples. Shellfish samples collected over 3 weeks following the outbreak showed a progressive decline in the level of virus contamination as measured by the virus diversity detected and by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR.(R.A.)

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)

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.
