Abstract Background Severe acute lower respiratory infection (SARI) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries. There is a large global variation in the epidemiology, clinical management and outcomes, including the mortality Aim of the study: To describe the demographic features, Province of residence, occupation and outcomes of patients SARI. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study of 1009 patients involved in the study, between the first of January 2019 and twenty eight of December 2019. From the medical records in Communicable Diseases Control Centre (CDC) office in Baghdad. Results: 1009 patients, 406 with positive for influenza A, and 603 with negative for influenza, the highest incidence was in the age group between 0-10 years for both positive (19.7%) and negative (25.0%) influenza A. Male higher (56.7%) than female in influenza A group, but female is higher (50.4%) in those with negative influenza group. The incidence in Baghdad is higher than other governments for both groups. Freelance is higher than other occupations (31.8%) for positive and housewife (32.2%) for negative influenza A. Death was 6.4% for positive and 1.5% for negative influenza A, the higher mortality rate was in male in age group 0-10 year for both positive (30.8%) and negative (18.9%)influenza A. Conclusion: influenza A is an important cause of SARI, childhood is a high risk for SARI who have high mortality rate especially in male. Freelance and housewife have high occupation risk for SARI. Baghdad has the higher rate than other governments for SARI In Iraq.

Severe Acute Respiratory Illness

Influenza is a major cause of morbidity and mortality around the world. So national influenza surveillance have been important for understanding the epidemiology of influenza over time. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence rate of influenza viruses among hospitalized patients with severe acute respiratory illness (SARI), identify circulating types and subtypes of influenza viruses among them, and determine the risk factors associated with SARI. A total of 320 hospitalized patients suffering from SARI at Al Joumhouri University hospital in Sana’a city were enrolled; and their age was ranged from < 1 year to ≥ 56 years. Both nasopharyngeal and oro-pharyngeal swabs were collected from each patient and tested by using rRT-PCR technique for the detection of influenza A, influenza B and subtypes of influenza A viruses (A/H1N1(2009) and A/H3N2). The crude prevalent rate of influenza viruses among SARI patients was 10.9%;the female rate was 12.4%, and the male rate was 9.9%. The rate of Flu A in the total SARI cases was 5.9% and for Flu B was 5%. In addition 3.8% of SARI patients were suffering from influenza A/H3N2, 2.2% from influenza A/H1N1(2009) infections; and the mortality rate for influenza infections was 17.1%. Also, a high mortality rate was occurred in influenza infections in age groups 36-45 years and 6-15 years. Also, there was a significant association between flu infection; and 46-55 years group (OR=2.8), Winter time (OR=17.5), cardiac diseases (OR=9.1), and diabetic mellitus (OR=3.7). In conclusion: both influenza A and B were represented as a causative agents of SARI, and Influenza A/H3N2 was present subtype followed by A/H1N1(2009). The frequency of influenza viruses ascertain among SARI patients in Yemen highlights the need for health authorities to develop strategies to reduce morbidity among at-risk population in the course of vaccine recommendation.

AbstractObjective:To report on the investigation of a summer outbreak of acute respiratory illness among residents of a Sydney nursing home.Design:An epidemiologic and microbiological investigation of the resident cohort at the time of the outbreak and medical record review 5 months later.Setting:A nursing home located in Sydney, Australia, during February to July 1999.Patients:The cohort of residents present in the nursing home at the time of the outbreak.Interventions:Public health interventions included recommendations regarding hygiene, cohorting of residents and staff, closure to further admissions, and prompt reporting of illness; and virologic and serologic studies of residents.Results:Of the 69 residents (mean age, 85.1 years), 35 fulfilled the case definition of acute respiratory illness. Influenza A infection was confirmed in 19 residents, and phylogenetic analysis of the resulting isolate, designated H3N2 A/Sydney/203/99, showed that it differed from strains isolated in eastern Australia during the same period. Serologic evidence ofBordetellainfection was also found in 10 residents; however, stratified epidemiologic analysis pointed to influenza A as the cause of illness.Conclusions:The investigation revealed an unusual summer outbreak of influenza A concurrent with subclinical pertussis infection. Surveillance of acute respiratory illness in nursing homes throughout the year, rather than solely during epidemic periods, in combination with appropriate public health laboratory support, would allow initiation of a timely public health response to outbreaks of acute respiratory illness in this setting.

Poisoning with depilatory agents is a rather uncommon entity in western countries. In this study, we describe poisoning with a corrosive arsenic-based depilatory agent (CABD) and factors related to its mortality in a poisoning center in Tehran. In a retrospective study, the medical records of all patients with CABD intoxication who attended the emergency ward of Loghman-Hakim hospital, the only poisoning center in Tehran, over a 9-year period between 2000 and 2009 were reviewed. The majority of patients were men (78.7%, n = 122 vs. women: 21.3%, n = 33). The mean age was 35.55 ± 16.68 years. Mean time of arrival to hospital was 3.63 hours (SD = 4.07). The mortality rate was 5.8% and increased significantly with higher amounts of ingestion and delay in arrival to hospital. CABD poisoning may be lethal if not treated promptly and correctly. Restriction or, if not practical, reduction of harmful components of this substance should be considered.

Abstract: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory disease most commonly found during infancy and childhood. This disease is very complex and has a variety of clinical manifestations. Its management depends not only on the medication, but also on skin care and avoidance of trigger factors. This study aimed to obtain the profile of atopic dermatitis at the Dermatovenerology Clinic of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado period January 2010 to December 2012. This was a retrospective study using medical records of new registered patients at the Dermatovenerology clinic. New cases were grouped according to sex, age, occupation, treatment, and coinfection diseases. The results showed that there were 461 (16.26%) new cases of AD out of 2,835 cases, consisted of 289 (62.69%) females and 172 (37.31%) males with a ratio of 1.7:1. The most frequent age group was >12 years old (58.35%); they were commonly students (43.38%). The most frequent treatment was a combination of oral antihistamin and topical corticosteroid (49.67%). No coinfection was recorded among 332 cases (72.02%). Conclusion: Most of the atopic dermatitis cases at the Dermatovenerology Clinic of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado for the last 3 years were females, age group >12 years old, and as students. Combination of oral antihistamin and topical corticosteroid was the most common treatment. Almost all cases had no coinfection.Keywords: atopic dermatitis, profileAbstrak: Dermatitis atopik (DA) merupakan penyakit peradangan kulit kronis dan residif yang sering terjadi pada masa bayi dan kanak-kanak. Penyakit ini sangat kompleks dengan gambaran klinis bervariasi. Penatalaksanaannya tidak hanya bergantung pada pengobatan, namun juga perawatan kulit dan menghindari faktor pencetus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan profil DA di Poliklinik Kulit dan Kelamin RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado periode Januari 2010 - Desember 2012. Metode penelitian ini retrospektif dengan menggunakan catatan medik pasien baru di Poliklinik Kulit dan Kelamin tersebut. Kasus baru dikelompokkan menurut jenis kelamin, usia, pekerjaan, pengobatan, dan penyakit penyerta. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan 461 (16,26%) kasus baru DA dari 2.835 kasus baru, terdiri dari 289 (62,69%) perempuan dan 172 (37,31%) laki-laki dengan rasio 1,7:1. Kelompok usia terbanyak ialah >12 tahun sebesar 269 (58,35%), terbanyak pada pelajar/mahasiswa yaitu 200 kasus (43,38%). Terapi tersering ialah kombinasi antihistamin oral dan kortikosteroid topikal sejumlah 229 kasus (49,67%). Sejumlah 332 (72,02%) kasus tidak disertai penyakit lain. Simpulan: Kasus dermatitis atopik di Poliklinik Kulit dan Kelamin RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D.
