Latex allergy is a subject which is causing concern both amongst healthcare workers and in the Department of Health, with reports that significant numbers of NHS staff may have latex hypersensitivity. With this informative article, Janet Cox joins John Clancy and Andrew McVicar to explain the mechanisms that underlie latex hypersensitivity and to make recommendations about how hospitals can deal more effectively with it. The article is based on the text, Physiology and Anatomy, a homeostatic approach, 2nd ed, John Clancy and Andrew McVicar, Arnold, London (in print September 2001).

Out Of Pocket Costs

Tuberculosis (TB), the leading single infectious diseases killer globally, is driven by poverty. Conversely, having TB worsens impoverishment. During TB illness, lost income and out-of-pocket costs can become “catastrophic”, leading patients to abandon treatment, develop drug-resistance, and die. WHO’s 2015 End TB Strategy recommends eliminating catastrophic costs and providing socioeconomic support for TB-affected people. However, there is negligible evidence to guide the design and implementation of such socioeconomic support, especially in low-income, TB-endemic countries. A national, multi-sectoral workshop was held in Kathmandu, Nepal, on the 11th and 12th September 2019, to develop a shortlist of feasible, locally appropriate socioeconomic support interventions for TB-affected households in Nepal, a low-income country with significant TB burden. The workshop brought together key stakeholders in Nepal including from the Ministry of Health and Population, Department of Health Services, Provincial Health Directorate, Health Offices, National TB Program (NTP); and TB/Leprosy Officers, healthcare workers, community health volunteers, TB-affected people, and external development partners (EDP). During the workshop, participants reviewed current Nepal NTP data and strategy, discussed the preliminary results of a mixed-methods study of the socioeconomic determinants and consequences of TB in Nepal, described existing and potential socioeconomic interventions for TB-affected households in Nepal, and selected the most promising interventions for future randomized controlled trial evaluations in Nepal. This report describes the activities, outcomes, and recommendations from the workshop.

The Department of Health in England has issued new guidance on the management of hepatitis C infected healthcare workers (1,2). Previous guidance in the United Kingdom (UK) recommended that healthcare workers infected with hepatitis C should be restricted from undertaking exposure prone procedures (EPPs) only if they had been associated with transmission of infection to a patient (3). Since these recommendations were made, however, there have been five documented incidents in England and Wales (4-8), one in Spain (9), and two in Germany (10,11) in which infected healthcare workers have transmitted hepatitis C infection to patients during EPPs.
