Migrants from developing countries are usually young and healthy but several studies report they may harbor asymptomatic infections for prolonged periods. Prevalence of were determined immigrants Latin America sub-Saharan Africa who ettended to a European Tropical Medicine Referral Center 2000 2009. A systematic screening protocol selected was used. Data 317 Africans 383 Americans analyzed. Patients mostly (mean age 29 years); there significantly more males among (83% versus 31.6%)...
ABSTRACT Background In addition to the lack of COVID-19 diagnostic tests for whole Spanish population, current strategy is identify disease early limit contagion in community. Aim To determine clinical factors a poor prognosis patients with infection. Design and Setting Descriptive, observational, retrospective study three primary healthcare centres an assigned population 100,000. Method Examination medical records infections confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. Results We included 322...
Introduction Strongyloides stercoralis is a globally distributed nematode that causes diverse clinical symptoms in humans. Spain, once considered an endemic country, has experienced recent increase imported cases. The introduction of serology helps diagnosis and currently replacing microbiological techniques some settings, but its sensitivity variable can be low immunocompromised patients. Diagnosis only confirmed by identification larvae. Often, this "gold standard" achieved severe cases,...
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria have become one of the most important health problems. We aimed to assess whether international travel may facilitate their spread through colonization asymptomatic travelers. A cross-sectional study was conducted (November 2018 February 2022). Pharyngeal and rectal swabs were obtained from long-term travelers recently arrived migrants non-European countries, an epidemiological survey performed. Colonization by Gram-negative methicillin-resistant...
Strongyloides stercoralis is a widely distributed nematode that causes human infection nearly everywhere on the globe except poles. Although real figures are controversial, its prevalence has been said to range from 30 100 million infected people [1, 2]. One of major challenges in assessing S. lack well-conducted studies suspected endemic areas. As diagnosis techniques used detect worm infestations not sensitive enough larvae stercoralis, other specific required. Those techniques, such as...
Background Strongyloides stercoralis is a parasite that causes strongyloidiasis, neglected tropical disease. S. soil-transmitted helminth widely distributed in and subtropical regions of the world. Strongyloidiasis can occur without any symptoms or as chronic infection characterized by mild, unspecific such pruritus, abdominal pain discomfort; respiratory impairment also may manifest potentially fatal hyperinfection disseminated infection. Most studies on strongyloidiasis Spain have been...
Strongyloides stercoralis is a widely distributed nematode more frequent in tropical areas and particularly severe immunosuppressed patients. The aim of this study was to determine factors associated with strongyloidiasis migrants living non-endemic area assess the response treatment follow-up those diagnosed infection. We performed multicenter case-control 158 cases 294 controls matched 1:2 by department service. Participants were recruited simultaneously at six hospitals or clinics Spain....
Enteric fever in high-income countries is diagnosed mainly patients returning from endemic countries. We assess the clinical, microbiological, and prognosis aspects of enteric 2 Spanish tertiary hospitals. A retrospective observational study was conducted at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital Ramón y Cajal Spain. reviewed medical records all who were with January 2000 to 2014 these identified 47 episodes. According their travel history, 35 (74.5%) had travelled highly Imported acquired Asia...
Abstract Background In this study we have evaluated the performance of a novel multiplex serological assay with panel 8 antigens able to simultaneously detect IgG HIV, chronic hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV), Chagas disease, strongyloidiasis schistosomiasis as screening tool for imported diseases in migrants. Methods Six panels 40 well-characterized, anonymized serum samples from individuals respective confirmed infections (n=240) were used positive controls assess sensitivity assay. One sera...
We aimed to evaluate the performance of a novel multiplex serological assay, able simultaneously detect IgG six infections, as screening tool for imported diseases in migrants. Six panels 40 (n = 240) anonymized serum samples with confirmed infections were used positive controls assess assay's sensitivity. One panel sera from non-infected subjects was estimate seropositivity cutoffs, and 32 negative each serology's sensitivity specificity. The multi-infection test validated prospective...
