Data demonstrate a uniform susceptibility of subject-derived hepatitis C virus (HCV) to sofosbuvir, and also show that selection sofosbuvir-resistant HCV is exceedingly rare associated with significant reduction in viral fitness. Background. Sofosbuvir chain-terminating nucleotide analogue inhibitor the NS5B RNA polymerase efficacious subjects genotype 1–6 infection. resistance primarily conferred by S282T substitution NS5B. Methods. sequencing testing from infected genotypes who...
During June 2021, the highly transmissible† B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant of SARS-CoV-2, virus that causes COVID-19, became predominant circulating strain in United States. U.S. pediatric COVID-19-related hospitalizations increased during July-August 2021 following emergence Delta and peaked September 2021.§ As May 12, CDC recommended COVID-19 vaccinations for persons aged ≥12 years,¶ on November 2, were 5-11 years.** To date, clinical signs symptoms, illness course, factors contributing to...
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common bacterial in pregnancy. Known risk factors for UTI pregnancy include diabetes and certain urologic conditions. Other maternal characteristics might also be associated with could provide clues to etiology of Our objective was identify Materials Methods: We used data from pregnant women participating National Birth Defects Prevention Study, a population-based study major structural birth defects 10 U.S. sites, 1997 2011.

Zika virus is an emerging mosquito-borne flavivirus. Recent outbreaks of disease in the Pacific Islands and Region Americas have identified new modes transmission clinical manifestations, including adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, data on epidemiology findings laboratory-confirmed remain limited. During January 1, 2015-February 26, 2016, a total 116 residents 33 U.S. states District Columbia had laboratory evidence recent infection based testing performed at CDC. Cases include one...
Workers in electronics waste and lamp recycling facilities are at risk of exposure to elemental mercury through inhalation vapor mercury-containing dust.Employers an facility Ohio that crushes lamps expressed concerns about from work processes requested a health hazard evaluation by CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety Health (NIOSH).In April 2023, NIOSH conducted multidisciplinary investigation assess inorganic exposures, including epidemiologic, environmental, ventilation...
CDC recommends Zika virus testing for potentially exposed persons with signs or symptoms consistent disease, and that health care providers offer to asymptomatic pregnant women within 12 weeks of exposure. During January 3-March 5, 2016, was performed 4,534 who traveled moved from areas active transmission; 3,335 (73.6%) were women. Among received testing, 1,541 (34.0%) reported at least one virus-associated sign symptom (e.g., fever, rash, arthralgia, conjunctivitis), 436 (9.6%) other...
To describe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related pediatric hospitalizations during a period of B.1.617.2 (Δ) variant predominance and to determine age-specific factors associated with severe illness.
In 2016, an influenza A(H7N2) virus outbreak occurred in cats New York City's municipal animal shelters. One human infection was initially detected. We conducted a serological survey using novel approach to rule out cross-reactive antibodies other seasonal viruses determine whether additional infections had and assess exposure risk. Of 121 shelter workers, one evidence of infection, corresponding seroprevalence 0.8% (95% confidence interval, .02%–4.5%). Five persons exhibited low positive...
Abstract Background Transit workers have jobs requiring close public contact for extended periods of time, placing them at increased risk severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and more likely to factors disease 2019 (COVID‐19)‐related complications. Collecting timely occupational data can help inform health guidance transit workers; however, it is difficult collect during a emergency. We used nontraditional epidemiological surveillance methods report demographics job...
There is little empirical guidance regarding communication sources and channels used trusted by agricultural producers. The goal of this study was to characterize frequency use levels trust in safety health information accessed A sample 195 producers surveyed at county fairs Iowa. Information collected about the level 14 channels. Associations between age, gender, education each source or channel were estimated using logistic regression. consisted 72% men with a mean age 50.1 (SD = 15.6)...
Abstract Objective To describe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) mitigation measures in workplaces of employed US blood donors by industry and work arrangement. Methods During May–December 2021, responded to a survey; we the distribution reported workplace arrangement, organized using hierarchy controls. Results. Of 53,433 respondents representing 21 industries, ventilation upgrades were 4%–38% (overall: 20%); telework access ranged from 14%–80% (53% overall). Requiring masks 84%; range:...

Abstract Recent increases in the rate of drug overdose‐related deaths, emergence potent opioids such as carfentanil, and media reports incidents have raised concerns about potential for work‐related exposure to a variety illicit drugs among law enforcement officers (LEOs), other emergency responders, workers United States. To characterize risk associated with unintentional occupational drugs, we retrospectively investigated two that occurred 2017 2018 where LEOs were exposed opioid stimulant...
Abstract Background Work is a social determinant of health that often overlooked. There are major work‐related differences in the risk severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) infection and death, but there have been few analyses rates across industry groups. To date, only one national assessment SARS‐CoV‐2 prevalence by based on self‐report has completed. No study looked at seroprevalence COVID‐19 industry. Methods During May–December 2021, blood donors with...
Abstract Recent increases in deaths the United States from synthetic opioids such as fentanyl and analogues (fentanyls) have raised concerns about possible occupational exposures to these potent agents. Medicolegal death investigators autopsy suite staff might perform job tasks involving exposure fentanyls. The potential for fentanyls among medicolegal technicians at a state medical examiner's office was evaluated through review of caseload characteristics, injury illness logs, procedures...
