In collaboration with state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments, CDC established the U.S. Zika Pregnancy Registry (USZPR) in early 2016 to monitor pregnant women laboratory evidence of possible recent virus infection their infants.This report includes an analysis completed pregnancies (which include live births pregnancy losses, regardless gestational age) 50 states District Columbia (DC) reported USZPR from January 15 December 27, 2016. Birth defects potentially associated...
Human fetal T cell activation against maternal antigens could promote uterine contractions in preterm labor.
Abstract Background Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, is endemic throughout Northern Hemisphere and requires as few 10 organisms to cause disease, making this potential bioterrorism one most infectious bacterial pathogens known. Aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, and, more recently, fluoroquinolones are used for treatment tularemia; however, data on relative effectiveness these other antimicrobial classes limited. Methods Nine databases, including Medline, Global Health,...
This report provides CDC recommendations to U.S. health care providers regarding treatment, pre-exposure prophylaxis, and postexposure prophylaxis of plague. Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that causes plague, leads naturally occurring disease in United States other regions worldwide is recognized as a potential bioterrorism weapon. A bioweapon attack with Y. pestis could potentially infect thousands, requiring rapid informed decision making by clinicians public agencies. The government...
Abstract Background Tularemia is caused by the gram-negative bacterium Francisella tularensis. Although rare, tularemia during pregnancy has been associated with complications; data on efficacy of recommended antimicrobials for treatment are limited. We performed a systematic literature review to characterize clinical manifestations and examine maternal, fetal, neonatal outcomes without antimicrobial treatment. Methods searched 9 databases, including Medline, Embase, Global Health, PubMed...
The purpose of this analysis was to determine whether cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is associated with the prevalence metabolic syndrome (MetS) and relationship differs by BMI.Data from 1999-2004 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were pooled (N = 2,532). Logistic regression used for assessing association between CMV MetS, stratified gender BMI, categorized as normal weight, overweight, obesity, extreme adjusted age, race/ethnicity, poverty level.In unadjusted analyses,...
Lyme disease (LD) is the most common vector-borne in United States, with increasing incidence and geographic range. Case peaks among school-aged children. New LD preventives are clinical trials.
On March 26, 2020, Colorado instituted stay-at-home orders to reduce community transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). To inform public health messaging and measures could be used after reopening, persons with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 during 9-26 from nine counties comprising approximately 80% state's population† (Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Denver, Douglas, El Paso, Jefferson, Larimer, Weld) were asked about possible exposures SARS-CoV-2...
Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare neonatal liver disease that causes cholestasis and the leading indication for pediatric transplantation. Although exact etiology of BA remains unknown, evidence from murine models supports role rotavirus infection in development BA. In 2006, universal vaccination was implemented United States. The goal this study to determine if prevalence correlated with number annual infections.We utilized data 1997 2012 Kids' Inpatient Database 1988 2015 Organ Procurement...
Emerging variants and sublineages of SARS-CoV-2 have differing disease severity, transmissibility, immune evasion. The neurological conditions associated with the original strain are well established. Our study assessed presentations specific to hospitalized patients during B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant surge in New York City.A total 178 cases positive RT-PCR result within 6 weeks before admission, subsequent development select between December 1, 2021 February 28, 2022, were included from...
There have been numerous reports of neurologic manifestations identified in hospitalized patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Here, we identify spectrum associated symptoms and diagnoses, define time course their development, examine readmission rates mortality risk posthospitalization a multiethnic urban cohort.We occurrence new diagnoses among laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection New York City. A retrospective cohort study was performed on 532 cases...
Abstract Background To inform recommendations for optimal screening fetal outcomes of Zika virus infection during pregnancy, we examined the relationship between prenatal diagnostics (ultrasound examination and amniotic fluid testing) postnatal congenital syndrome (CZS) abnormalities. Methods Systematic searches were performed in 27 medical public health databases from inception to March 21, 2018 articles with keywords “Zika,” “prenatal,” “ultrasound,” “amniocentesis.” A total 2,281 unique...
Abstract Background Yersinia pestis remains endemic in countries throughout Africa, Asia, and the Americas is a tier 1 bioterrorism agent. Antibiotic treatment with aminoglycosides such as streptomycin or gentamicin effective when initiated early course of illness but can have serious side effects. Alternatives fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, sulfonamides are potentially safer currently lack robust human data on their efficacy. Methods We searched PubMed Central, Medline, Embase, CINAHL,...
