AbstractAlthough vector-borne diseases are important causes of morbidity and mortality in dogs in tropical areas, there is little information on these conditions in Costa Rica. In PCRs of blood from dogs in Costa Rica, we did not detect DNAs of Rickettsia (R.) felis and Coxiella (C.) burnetii but we did find evidence of infection with Dirofilaria (D.) immitis (9/40, 22.5%), Hepatozoon (H.) canis (15/40, 37.5%), Babesia spp. (10/40, 25%; 2 with B. gibsoni and 8 with B. vogeli), Anaplasma (A.) platys (3/40, 7.5%) and Ehrlichia (E.) canis (20/40, 50%). Nine dogs (22.5%) were free of any vector-borne pathogens while 14 (35%) were infected with a single pathogen, 11 (27.5%) with two, 4 (10%) with three, 1 (2.5%) with four, and 1 (2.5%) with five pathogens. Dogs in Costa Rica are commonly infected with vector-borne agents

Abstract Background The value of nontraditional high-risk factor stacking is not known in the Costa Rican population. We aim to describe risk factor stacking for pneumococcal disease (PD) in patients seeking care at Social Security Hospitals in Costa Rica Methods Descriptive study of adult patients with microbiological culture-positive Streptococcus pneumoniae disease seeking care at two tertiary hospitals in Costa Rica between years 2014 and 2016. Information on underlying comorbidities (nontraditional) and other risk factors for PD was analyzed and stalked for each age group (G1: &lt;50, G2: 50–64, and G3: ≥65 y/o). Results We included 181 culture-positive patients. We found that patients in G1 predominantly stacked ≥2 risk factors (63%), the proportion of patients with ≥2 risk factor was similar to high-risk patients in G2 (33% vs. 38%). In G3, 18% didn’t stacked any other risk factor and 46% was on high-risk. Most frequent risk factors in G1/G2 were smoking and alcoholism, and in G3 chronic pulmonary and heart diseases. Conclusion We conclude that risk factor stacking is more relevant than high-risk conditions and PD also occurs in persons &lt;50 y/o. We recommend that risk factor stacking should be considered in prevention strategies for PD. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
