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.

Health Care Associated Infections

Preventing Clostridium difficile, the most common cause of health care–associated infections in hospitals and infectious disease death in the United States, is a national priority. Increased rates of infection among low-risk individuals in the community call for community-based prevention efforts to halt the increasing spread of this highly contagious opportunistic infection.

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.
