We report an epidemic of parvovirus B19 infections in Denmark during the first quarter 2024, with a peak incidence 3.5 times higher than most recent 2017. In total, 20.1% (130/648) laboratory-confirmed cases were pregnant. Severe adverse outcomes observed among 12.3% (16/130) pregnant people and included foetal anaemia, hydrops miscarriage. Parvovirus infection is not systematically monitored, but national laboratory-based surveillance system currently being established Denmark.
We report a record high pertussis epidemic in Denmark since August 2023. Highest incidence was adolescents, while peak infants lower vs previous epidemics 2019 and 2016. Among aged 0–2 months, over half (29/48) were hospitalised one infant died, underlining the disease severity youngest. To protect infants, vaccination pregnant women introduced January 2024 national programme. Improved surveillance is being implemented.
To describe incidence and clinical characteristics of bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) infections after BCG bladder instillation amongst patients with non-muscle-invasive cancer in Denmark.We conducted a nationwide register-based cohort study Denmark between 2002 through 2017. Patients infection were identified by cross-linking data from the Danish National Hospital Registry on treated instillations diagnosed tuberculosis according to International Classification Diseases 10, obtained Reference...
Since the end of November 2023, European Mortality Monitoring Network (EuroMOMO) has observed excess mortality in Europe. During weeks 48 2023–6 2024, preliminary results show a substantially increased rate 95.3 (95% CI: 91.7–98.9) all-cause deaths per 100,000 person-years for all ages. This is seen adults aged 45 years and older, coincides with widespread presence COVID-19, influenza respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) many countries during 2023/24 winter season.
Abstract Background The global vision is a world free of tuberculosis (TB). Even in resource-rich TB low-incidence settings, we need more focus on the role social risk factors to end epidemic. Methods Nationwide, retrospective register-based, case–control study from 1990 2018, including all patients Denmark ≥18 years old (n = 9581) matched 1:3 sex and age with population controls. were assessed logistic regression models estimated by odds ratio (OR). Results All had considerably lower...
ObjectivesThis study aimed to analyze mortality, risk factors, and causes of death among people with tuberculosis (TB).MethodsThis is a population-based cohort patients TB ≥18 years notified from 1990 2018 in Denmark, compared sex- age-matched controls. Mortality was assessed Kaplan–Meier models factors for were estimated Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsOverall mortality twofold higher controls up 15 after diagnosis (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.18, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.06-2.29, P...
Eikenella corrodens is one of the HACEK bacteria constituting part normal flora oropharynx, however, still an uncommon pathogen. We report a case large liver abscess with simultaneously endocarditis in previously healthy male. A 49-year-old Danish man was admitted because one-month malaise, fever, cough and unintentional weight loss. On admission there elevated white blood cell count C-reactive protein, as well affected function tests. Initially pneumonia suspected, but due to lack...
Background Denmark possesses an exceptional historical data collection on tuberculosis (TB) from 1876 to the present, providing a unique opportunity assess TB epidemiology over 147 years in Denmark. Aim Our aim was describe disease burden relation events, living conditions and health interventions during past years. Methods We performed nationwide register-based ecological study including all persons with through 2022, correlating incidence social, economic indicators. Results In Denmark,...
BackgroundPregnancy increases the risk of tuberculosis (TB), however, data on TB epidemiology in pregnant women are limited.AimTo guide possible interventions, we analysed factors for and post-partum women.MethodsWe conducted a nationwide retrospective register-based case-control study from January 1990 to December 2018 Denmark. Cases were diagnosed with during their pregnancy or period. We selected two control groups: without TB, non-pregnant TB. Differences assessed by chi-squared Fisher's...
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health issue among children worldwide. Data on TB transmission in living low-incidence countries is limited. Methods: We studied ethnic Danish younger than 15 years of age between 2000 and 2013. Identification with disease information demographics contacts were retrieved from the national surveillance register International Reference Laboratory Mycobacteriology. Results: In total, 88 identified study period, corresponding to mean annual...
Abstract Background Leptospirosis is a reemerging zoonosis with worldwide distribution and wide range of clinical manifestations. We report case leptospirosis meningitis in previously healthy woman infected by her pet mouse. Case presentation A 27-year-old Caucasian mice presented to our institute 1 week history fever, headache, myalgia, vomiting, diarrhea, dark urine. Her admission examination revealed neck stiffness, conjunctivitis, icteric sclera. liver enzymes, bilirubin, white blood...
In Western Europe, most pediatric tuberculosis (TB) cases occur among immigrants; however, data are rarely stratified by first/second-generation immigrants and many may be preventable.This was a nationwide study of children <18 years with TB from 2009 to 2014 in Denmark. Demographic, clinical, microbiologic treatment outcome were obtained registers medical records.We identified 145 cases; 99 (68%) which 54 (55%) second-generation immigrants. Most first-generation (73%) diagnosed passive case...
Background Indigenous Arctic people suffer from high rates of infectious diseases. However, the burden central nervous system (CNS) infections is poorly documented. This study aimed to estimate incidence and mortality CNS among Inuits non-Inuits in Greenland Denmark. Methods We conducted a nationwide cohort using populations Denmark 1990–2012. Information on infection hospitalizations pathogens was retrieved national registries laboratories. Incidence were estimated as cases per 100,000...
