Common Infectious Disease

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) continues to predominate the cause of morbidity, and mortality in the developing world. The disease affects all the organ systems, and presents in various pathologic disease states. We report an uncommon manifestation of this rather common infectious disease in a 19-year-old male. Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia occurring as a consequence of the tuberculosis infection itself is an exceedingly rare occurrence, and at the time of writing of this paper, only 15 such published reports exist in the English literature so far.

Tuberculosis is a common infectious disease in South-Asian region which can involve different organs. Splenic tuberculosis is a rare clinical entity. Here we report a case of tuberculous abscess of spleen in a 72 year old diabetic male. It was disseminated type, it was confirmed by ultrasonography guided aspiration of abscess for gene x-pert test, which was positive. Patient was given antitubercular treatment after the confirmation of the diagnosis and is improving with given treatment.

Report System

The objective is to evaluate the validity of the signals generated by Shewhart chart to detect the increase in febrile children with patients with common infectious diseases. There were 28,049 and 42,029 reports for febrile patients in the two study counties during the 2-year period. The sensitivity were 29.03% and 34.78%. The PPVs were 64.29% and 53.33%. The sensitivity of signals in the syndromic surveillance system was low using the Shewhart model while the PPV was relatively high which suggested that this syndromic surveillance system had potential ability to supplement conventional case report system in detecting common infectious disease outbreaks.

Potential Use

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), present in the extracellular matrix, are exploited by numerous, distinct microbes for cellular attachment, adhesion, invasion and evasion of the host immune system. Glycosaminoglycans, including the widely used, clinical anticoagulant heparin and semi-synthetic analogues thereof, have been reported to inhibit and disrupt interactions between microbial proteins and carbohydrates present on the surface of host cells. However, the anticoagulant properties of unmodified, pharmaceutical heparin preparations preclude their capabilities as therapeutics for infectious disease states. Here, unique Glycosaminoglycan-like saccharides from various, distinct marine species are reported for their potential use as therapeutics against infectious diseases; many of which possess highly attenuated anticoagulant activities, while retaining significant antimicrobial properties.

Acute Otitis Media (OMA) is an acute inflammation of the middle ear that lasts less than three weeks. OMA is a common infectious disease at an early age and is a common reason for treatment. This infectious disease can be caused by many factors. This study aims to determine the prevalence of acute otitis media at Siti Rahmah Islamic Hospital in Padang. Method This type of research is descriptive retrospective using secondary data in the form of medical records. The study was conducted from July 2018 - January 2019 in the ENT section of the Siti Rahmah Islamic Hospital in Padang. The research subjects were 63 patients with Acute Otitis Media. This study reports the frequency distribution of research characteristics such as age, sex, stage, and infected ears. The result of this study report the prevalence of 63 patients with Acute Otitis Media. Based on age, the majority suffered at the age of five as many as 12 cases (19%). Based on gender, the majority of women suffered 35 cases (55.6%). Based on the stage, the most cases were at the stage of hyperemia 31 cases (49.2%). Based on the infected ear, the most cases were unilateral in 61 cases (96.8%). In this study the prevalence of acute otitis media in patients aged 0-5 years, female, hyperemic stage and unilateral infected ears were found.

Abstract Background: Vaccines may cause non-specific effects (NSEs) on morbidity and mortality through immune-mediated mechanisms that are not explained by the prevention of the targeted disease. Much of the evidence for NSEs comes from observational studies with a high risk of bias, and there is a clear need for new data from randomised controlled trials. Recently, it was proposed that rabies vaccine has protective NSEs in people and in animals. The aim of the proposed study is to determine if rabies vaccine reduces the incidence rate of episodes of common infectious disease syndromes in a population of veterinary students on the island of St. Kitts.Methods: The trial design is a single-site, two-arm, parallel-group, participant-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled, two-sided comparative study, with an internal pilot study for blinded sample size re-estimation. Allocation to study arm is by block randomization stratified by sex within cohort with a 1:1 allocation ratio. The primary study endpoint is the number of new weekly episodes of common infectious diseases including respiratory, diarrheal, and febrile illnesses. A vaccine efficacy ancillary study is planned.Discussion: Demonstration of a non-specific protective effect of rabies vaccine against unrelated respiratory, gastrointestinal and febrile illnesses would provide supportive evidence for the design of similar studies in children in populations with a high burden of these illnesses.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03656198.

The Difference

Background: Dengue infection is the common infectious disease in tropical countries caused by dengue virus, which has four serotypes (DEN 1, 2, 3 and 4). More data showed that dengue has caught worldwide attention due to its severe and fatal clinical outcome. This study aimed to describe the difference of clinical features of dengue infection between children and adults and among each dengue serotypes in Hospital for Tropical Diseases, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand during 2011- 2013. Study Design: This study was a hospital-based retrospective.  In- patient medical record of 50 children and 148 adults with clinical and laboratory confirmed dengue infection and admitted to Hospital for Tropical Diseases, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand during July 2011- June 2013 were reviewed. Results: We found that headache and myalgia/arthalgia were found in most of the cases (182/198, 91.9%; 178/198, 89.9%, respectively). Epistaxis and hypermenorrhea were more common in children. Retro-orbital pain was more common in adult. The spontaneous bleeding tended to be more common in children than adults. DEN2 (48.9%) was the most common serotype followed by DEN3 (23.7%), DEN1 (22.2%) and DEN4 (5.2%). Regarding dengue serotypes, subjects infected with DEN1 had more shock, hypermenorrhea and epistaxis than others. Lymphadenopathy and rash during febrile stage were found in subjects infected with DEN2 only. Subjects infected with DEN4 infection had more retro-orbital pain and petechiae than others. Conclusion: The results show secondary dengue infection was most common and the most prevalent dengue serotype was serotype 2. Typical symptoms in adult involved retro orbital pain, nausea and arthralgia while children might suffer epistaxis and hypermenorrhea. We also found that DEN 1 tended to have more mucosa bleeding and shock. In DEN 4 infection, subjects had more retro-orbital pain and skin bleeding.
