On September 30, 2022, after >3 years with no confirmed cholera cases (1), the Directorate of Epidemiology, Laboratories and Research (DELR) Haitian Ministry Public Health Population (Ministère de la Santé Publique et [MSPP]) was notified two patients acute, watery diarrhea in metropolitan area Port-au-Prince. Within 2 days, Haiti's National Laboratory bacterium Vibrio cholerae O1 specimens from suspected infection, an outbreak investigation began immediately. As January 3, 2023, >20,000 had...
Abstract Fungal endophthalmitis is a rare but serious infection. In March 2012, several cases of probable and laboratory-confirmed fungal occurring after invasive ocular procedures were reported nationwide. We identified 47 in 9 states: 21 patients had been exposed to the intraocular dye Brilliant Blue G (BBG) during retinal surgery, other 26 received an intravitreal injection containing triamcinolone acetonide. Both drugs produced by Franck's Compounding Lab (Ocala, FL, USA). Fusarium...
OBJECTIVE To determine the source of a healthcare-associated outbreak Pantoea agglomerans bloodstream infections. DESIGN Epidemiologic investigation outbreak. SETTING Oncology clinic (clinic A). METHODS Cases were defined as isolation from blood or catheter tip cultures A patients during July 2012–May 2013. Clinic medical charts and laboratory records reviewed; infection prevention practices facility’s water system evaluated. Environmental samples collected for culture. Clinical...
Haiti introduced a monovalent human group A rotavirus (RVA) vaccine (Rotarix) into its routine infant immunization program in April 2014. The goal of the surveillance was to characterize RVA strains circulating before and after introduction.Stool samples were collected from children <5 years old presenting with acute gastroenteritis at 16 hospitals Haiti. antigen enzyme immunoassay (EIA) testing performed, G P genotypes determined for positive specimens. In this study, genotype data May 2012...
Rotavirus is responsible for 26% of diarrheal deaths in Latin America and the Caribbean. Haiti introduced monovalent rotavirus vaccine April 2014. The objective this analysis to describe impact on hospitalizations among Haitian children younger than 5 years old during first after introduction. This includes all with diarrhea who were enrolled as part a sentinel surveillance system at two hospitals from May 2013 2019. We compare proportion rotavirus-positive specimens each post-vaccine...
Pathogen sequencing during the COVID-19 pandemic has generated more whole genome data than for any other epidemic, allowing epidemiologists to monitor transmission and evolution of SARS-CoV-2. However, large parts world are heavily underrepresented in efforts, including Caribbean islands. We performed SARS-CoV-2 from upper respiratory tract samples collected Haiti spring 2020. used phylogenetic analysis assess dynamics region observed that epidemic was seeded by multiple introductions,...
Haiti's first COVID-19 cases were confirmed on March 18, 2020, and subsequently spread throughout the country. The objective of this study was to describe clinical manifestations in Haitian outpatients identify risk factors for severity manifestations.We conducted a retrospective diagnosed from 18-August 4, using demographic, epidemiological, data reported Ministry Health (MoH). We used univariate multivariate analysis, including multivariable logistic regression, explore specific symptoms...
