Using molecular epidemiology to trace transmission of nosocomial norovirus infection.
Nosocomial norovirus (NoV) infection is common and may lead to complications in vulnerable hospitalized patients. Understanding sources and modes of transmission of noroviruses within health care settings will support the design of evidence-based strategies for reducing introduction and further spread. We sequenced a highly variable segment of the genome to identify possible clusters in patient...
متن کاملNosocomial Transmission of Dengue
hazards of occupational needlestick and " sharps " injuries. To the Editor: Four viruses form the dengue complex of mosquito-borne viruses (family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus). Any of these viruses can cause dengue fever, an uncomplicated febrile illness with rash; however , these viruses are not transmitted person to person.

متن کاملCandida auris Infection Leading to Nosocomial Transmission, Israel, 2017
A patient transferred from South Africa to Israel acquired a Candida auris infection. Phylogenetic analysis showed resemblance of C. auris to isolates from South Africa but not Israel, suggesting travel-associated infection. C. auris infection occurred weeks later in another patient at the same hospital, suggesting prolonged environmental persistence.
متن کاملPrevention of perinatal transmission of HIV infection.
The University of Alberta Pediatric HIV Clinic serves an area with an estimated population of 1.2 million, with 25 000 births annually. Records were reviewed from Jan. 1, 1988, to Dec. 31, 1999, for all children born in northern Alberta to women with HIV infection to determine our success rate at preventing perinatal HIV transmission. A child was considered to be HIV infected if he or she had 2...
متن کاملHIV Infection and the Transmission of Tuberculosis
TO THE EDITOR—The study by Middelkoop and colleagues [1] combining molecular and traditional epidemiology in a well-defined population is incredibly valuable. We were surprised that the index tuberculosis case patients in clusters had only twice the odds of being negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), compared with other tuberculosis case patients. In the 1990s, there was little chang...
