Overall, the prevalence of illness attributable to vaccine-preventable diseases is greater among adults than children.

immunosuppression increased with age, in parallel the epidemiology of prevalent conditions that require immunosuppressive treatments, but it is unclear why peaked at ages 50 to 59 years.The study has limitations.Self-reports are prone misclassification, modest range results sensitivity analyses provides reassurance regarding potential influence erroneous responses.With a limited number survey questions, causes or subsets could not be reliably determined.It unknown whether data from 2013...
To provide guidance to rheumatology providers on the use of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines for patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs). A task force was assembled that included 9 rheumatologists/immunologists, 2 infectious specialists, public health physicians. After agreeing scoping questions, an evidence report created summarized published literature publicly available data regarding COVID-19 vaccine efficacy safety, as well other in RMD patients. Task...

Although about 1 percent of surgeons are infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV), transmission from to patients is thought be uncommon. In July 1992, a 47-year-old woman became ill acute after undergoing thymectomy in which thoracic-surgery resident who had six months earlier assisted.To determine whether the surgeon transmitted HBV this patient and others, we conducted chart reviews, interviews, serologic testing at two hospitals where worked 1991 1992. Hepatitis surface antigen (HBsAg)...
Background. Herpes zoster (HZ) is caused by reactivation of latent varicella virus and often associated with substantial pain disability. Baseline incidence HZ prior to introduction vaccine not well described, it unclear whether the vaccination program in 1995 has altered epidemiology HZ. We examined trends impact on using a large medical claims database. Methods. Medical data from MarketScan® databases were obtained for 1993-2006. calculated all persons first outpatient service 053.xx code...

By 2005, vaccination had reduced the annual incidence of mumps in United States by more than 99%, with few outbreaks reported. However, 2006, a large outbreak occurred among highly vaccinated populations States, and similar have been reported worldwide. The described this report U.S. Orthodox Jewish communities during 2009 2010.Cases salivary-gland swelling other symptoms clinically compatible were investigated, demographic, clinical, laboratory, data evaluated.From June 28, 2009, through...
Background. Temporal increases in the incidence of herpes zoster (HZ) have been reported but studies examined short study periods, and cause increase remains unknown. We long-term trend HZ. Methods. A population-based cohort was conducted Olmsted County, Minnesota, using data from 1945–1960 1980–2007. Medical records review possible cases performed to confirm incident HZ, patient's immune status, prescribing antivirals for relative change temporal rates before after introduction varicella...
Introduction of a universal varicella vaccine program for U.S. children in 1996 sparked concern that less-frequent exposure to would decrease external boosting immunity zoster virus and thereby increase incidence herpes (HZ).To determine whether the vaccination has influenced trends HZ population older than 65 years.Retrospective study Medicare claims.Medicare, 1992 through 2010.2 848 765 beneficiaries years.Annual from 2010; rate ratios (RRs) by age, sex, race or ethnicity; state-level...
Understanding long-term effectiveness of herpes zoster (HZ) vaccine is critical for determining policy. 176 078 members Kaiser Permanente ≥60 years vaccinated with HZ and three matched unvaccinated were included. Hazard ratios 95% confidence intervals (CIs) associated vaccination at each year following estimated by Cox regression model. The decreased from 68.7% (95% CI, 66.3%–70.9%) in the first to 4.2% −24.0% 25.9%) eighth year. This rapid decline suggests that a revaccination strategy may...
More than 25 million adults in the United States have chronic pain. Chronic pain has been associated with suicidality, but previous studies primarily examined nonfatal suicidal behaviors rather suicide deaths or characteristics of such deaths.
Adults are at substantial risk for vaccine-preventable disease, but their vaccination rates remain low.
Varicella vaccination can have complex direct and indirect influences on the epidemiology of herpes zoster among children. We evaluated pediatric trends using administrative databases. The incidence has declined in a step-wise pattern since varicella program's introduction, suggesting that rates may eventually decline entire population.
