Materials methods From November 2014 august 2015, feces nasal swabs from residents LTCFs Netherlands were collected analyzed presence Gram-negative bacteria (MDRGN), including ESBL-E,...
Migrants are not routinely screened for hepatitis B virus (HBV), C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency (HIV) in the Netherlands. We estimated prevalence determined factors associated with HBV, HCV and/or HIV infections among undocumented migrants uninsured legal residents.In this cross-sectional study, residents were recruited at a non governmental organization (NGO), healthcare facility Netherlands invited to be tested surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-hepatitis core antibodies (anti-HBcAb),...

We made use publicly available data was reported by federal organizations Mexico for year 2010. contribution assessed a multivariable regression model using backwards selection procedure. A. lumbricoides mean minimum temperature state,...
The increase of antimicrobial resistance, mainly due to increased antibiotic use, is worrying. Preliminary evidence suggests that use differs across ethnic groups in the Netherlands, with higher people non-Dutch origin. We aimed determine whether appropriate knowledge and antibiotics differ by ethnicity on associated use. performed a cross-sectional study analyzing baseline data (2011–2015) from population-based cohort (HELIUS study), which were linked health insurance register. included...

Methods: was a retrospective analysis of routinely collected clinical data during consultations Prostitution Healthcare Centre (P&G292). Work categorised as window prostitution,...
Abstract Background Nasal carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is associated with an increased risk infection. Colonization MRSA observed in < 1% the general Dutch population. Increased for known to occur several key groups, one which asylum seekers. However, little about among undocumented migrants and uninsured legal residents. This study aimed determine prevalence nasal these groups Amsterdam, Netherlands. Methods In this cross-sectional study, between October...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) increasingly threatens public health. Carbapenem-producing gram-negative bacteria (CPB) pose the biggest threat. The risk for CPB spread is heightened during transfer of a CPB-positive patient between different healthcare institutions or providers. We aimed to gain insight into frequency patients in Dutch provinces Noord-Holland (NH) and Flevoland (FL). Secondly, we obtain deeper understanding communication providers transfers explore possible...
