To describe the epidemiology, clinical features and diagnosis of Mycobacterium ulcerans infection occurring on Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria.Analysis prospectively collected data all patients with confirmed M. reported from managed at Barwon Health between 1 January 1998 2 September 2011.Proportion cases by age group sex; duration symptoms; number, type site lesions; proportions diagnosed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing mycobacterial cultures.We identified 180 sequential infection:...
The human malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax is more resistant to control strategies than falciparum, and maintains high genetic diversity even when transmission low. To investigate whether declining P. leads increasing population structure that would facilitate elimination, we genotyped samples from across the Southwest Pacific region, which experiences an eastward decline in transmission, as well two time points at one site (Tetere, Solomon Islands) during intensified control. Analysis of...
Regionality is often a significant factor in tuberculosis (TB) management and outcomes worldwide. A wide range of context-specific factors may influence these differences change over time. We compared TB treatment regional metropolitan areas, considering demographic temporal trends affecting diagnosis outcomes.Retrospective analyses data for patients notified with Victoria, Australia, were conducted. The study delays outcomes. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard model performed to...
Tuberculous bronchopleural fistula is a rare complication of pulmonary tuberculosis with presentation ranging from patients who are asymptomatic incidental findings on imaging to those present acute tension pneumothorax.
Abstract The human malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax is resistant to control strategies maintaining high genetic diversity even when transmission low. To investigate whether declining P. leads increasing population structure that would facilitate elimination, we genotyped samples from a wide range of intensities and spatial scales in the Southwest Pacific, including two time points at one site (Tetere, Solomon Islands) during intensified control. Analysis 887 microsatellite haplotypes...
