ABSTRACT Since the outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection in Wuhan City, China, pediatric cases have gradually increased. It is very important to prevent cross-infection in pediatric fever clinics, to identify children with fever in pediatric fever clinics, and to strengthen the management of pediatric fever clinics. According to prevention and control programs, we propose the guidance on the management of pediatric fever clinics during the nCoV pneumonia epidemic period, which outlines in detail how to optimize processes, prevent cross-infection, provide health protection, and prevent disinfection of medical staff. The present consideration statement summarizes current strategies on the pre-diagnosis, triage, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of 2019-nCoV infection, which provides practical suggestions on strengthening the management of pediatric fever clinics during the nCoV pneumonia epidemic period.

The Manual of Infection Prevention and Control provides practical guidance on all aspects of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). It outlines the basic concepts of infection prevention and control (IPC), modes of transmission, surveillance, control of outbreaks, epidemiology, and biostatistics. The book provides up-to-date advice on the triage and isolation of patients and on new and emerging infectious diseases, and with the use of illustrations, it provides a step-by-step approach on how to perform hand hygiene and how to don and take off personal protective equipment correctly. In addition, this section also outlines how to minimize cross-infection by healthcare building design and prevent the transmission of various infectious diseases from infected patients after death. The disinfection and sterilization section reviews how to risk assess, disinfect and/or sterilize medical items and equipment, antimicrobial activities, and the use of various chemical disinfectants and antiseptics, and how to decontaminate endoscopes. The section on the prevention of HAIs reviews and updates IPC guidance on the prevention of the most common HAIs, i.e. surgical site infections, infections associated with intravascular and urinary catheters, and hospital- and ventilator-acquired pneumonias. In view of the global emergence of antimicrobial resistance to the various pathogens, the book examines and provides practical advice on how to implement an antibiotic stewardship programme and prevent cross-infection against various multi-drug resistant pathogens. Amongst other pathogens, the book also reviews IPC precautions against various haemorrhagic and bloodborne viral infections. The section on support services discusses the protection of healthcare workers, kitchen, environmental cleaning, catering, laundry services, and clinical waste disposal services.

The disinfection supply room is a very important department of the hospital. Its main job is to provide sterile equipment and dressings for various activities in the hospital. It is an important department in the hospital infection management process. Doing a good job in the control and management of the disinfection supply room is the main link to ensure the prevention and control of hospital infections. The quality of management directly affects modern clinical medical work. Therefore, the hospital supply room should be strengthened and improved to ensure that all items can be safely used in the work process, which can effectively avoid the occurrence of cross-infection incidents in the hospital.

Currently 221 countries of the globe is affected with COVID- 19 pandemic caused by a novel corona virus naming SARSCoV- 2 and leads to more than 4000000 confirmed cases and more than 300000 death already. The South East Asia regions have many LMIC status where the health system is disorganized and less prepared than what it should be. Although India and Pakistan started to react against the pandemic with multiple strategy to combat the bloom of the epidemic, Bangladesh was relaxing as there were lack of confirmation of cases and although the country has prolonged period of time to combat the pandemic situation, it was not proactive from the beginning. Inappropriate screening at entry, poor quarantine process and gross lack of infection prevention and control measure leads to observe the confirmed cases to develop one by one. Even in this conservative testing approach of Bangladesh, a family of cluster (6 members) of confirmed COVID 19 was observed with development of huge question in health care system.

Abstract The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) occurred in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. As of 21 March 2020, this epidemic has spread to 179 countries with more than 200 000 confirmed cases and 8578 deaths. The outbreak has put enormous pressure on the medical establishment and even led to exhaustion of medical resources in the most affected areas. Other medical work has been significantly affected in the context of COVID-19 epidemic. In order to reduce or avoid cross-infection with COVID-19, many hospitals have taken measures to limit the number of outpatient visits and inpatients. For example, emergency surgery can only be guaranteed, and most other surgeries can be postponed. Patients with cancer are one of the groups most affected by the epidemic because of their systematic immunosuppressive state and requirement of frequent admission to hospital. Consequently, specific adjustments for their treatment need to be made to cope with this situation. Therefore, it is of significance to summarize the relevant experience of China in the prevention and control of COVID-19 infection and treatment of patients with cancer during the epidemic.

Abstract: Tooth extraction is one of the high risk actions that can cause cross-infection. Prevention and control of a cross-infection is needed in tooth extraction because the field of dentistry work contacts directly with blood and saliva. This was a descriptive observational study with a cross sectional design. There were 44 samples obtained by using purposive sampling method. This study aimed to determine the prevention and control of cross infection in dental extractions at the Dental Hospital PSPDG FK Unsrat. The results showed that the prevention and control of cross-infection pre-action tooth extraction was 37.4%. The prevention of cross infection control during dental extractions was 60.26%. The prevention of cross infection control after tooth extraction was 47.16%.

Chikungunya fever (CHIKF) is an arbovirus disease caused by chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an alphavirus of Togaviridae family. Transmission follows a human-mosquito-human cycle starting with a mosquito bite. Subsequently, symptoms develop after 2–6 days of incubation, including high fever and severe arthralgia. The disease is self-limiting and usually resolve within 2 weeks. However, chronic disease can last up to several years with persistent polyarthralgia. Overlapping symptoms and common vector with dengue and malaria present many challenges for diagnosis and treatment of this disease. CHIKF was reported in India in 1963 for the first time. After a period of quiescence lasting up to 32 years, CHIKV re-emerged in India in 2005. Currently, every part of the country has become endemic for the disease with outbreaks resulting in huge economic and productivity losses. Several mutations have been identified in circulating strains of the virus resulting in better adaptations or increased fitness in the vector(s), effective transmission, and disease severity. CHIKV evolution has been a significant driver of epidemics in India, hence, the need to focus on proper surveillance, and implementation of prevention and control measure in the country. Presently, there are no licensed vaccines or antivirals available; however, India has initiated several efforts in this direction including traditional medicines. In this review, we present the current status of CHIKF in India.
