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...
Pregnant women living in or traveling to areas with local mosquito-borne Zika virus transmission are at risk for infection, which can lead severe fetal and infant brain abnormalities microcephaly (1). In February 2016, CDC recommended 1) routine testing infection of asymptomatic pregnant ongoing the first prenatal care visit, 2) retesting during second trimester who initially test negative, 3) signs symptoms consistent disease (e.g., fever, rash, arthralgia, conjunctivitis) any time...
A POORLY controlled vaccine-preventable disease in the United States, despite a well-established childhood vaccination program and high coverage. 1Although infants have substantially higher rates of pertussis compared with other age groups, data from National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System reflect recent increase number reported cases among children aged 7 to 10 years.In 2010, this group had second highest incidence States. 2 The changing epidemiology raises important questions...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the risk of pertussis by time since vaccination in children Minnesota and Oregon who received 5 doses acellular vaccines (DTaP). METHODS: These cohort analyses included born between 1998 2003 had DTaP recorded state Immunization Information Systems. records statewide surveillance data were combined. Incidence rates ratios for calculated 6 years after receipt fifth dose. RESULTS: The cohorts 224 378 179 011 from Oregon; 458 89 cases identified Oregon, respectively....
At its June 2015 meeting, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended that adolescents and young adults aged 16–23 years may be vaccinated with a serogroup B meningococcal (MenB) vaccine to provide short-term protection against most strains of disease. This report summarizes deliberations ACIP, rationale for decision, recommendations use MenB vaccines in adults. Two have recently been licensed by Food Drug Administration (FDA) United States approved persons 10–25...

Beginning in late 2023, Oropouche virus was identified as the cause of large outbreaks Amazon regions with known endemic transmission and new areas South America Caribbean. The is spread to humans by infected biting midges some mosquito species. Although infection typically causes a self-limited febrile illness, reports two deaths patients vertical associated adverse pregnancy outcomes have raised concerns about threat this human health. In addition approximately 8,000 locally acquired cases...
BACKGROUND. Since introduction of the heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in United States 2000, rates invasive disease have declined. However, national impact on pneumonia and otitis media remains unknown. OBJECTIVES. We compared outpatient visits for children before after introduction. METHODS. Rates ambulatory nonspecific pneumonia, media, other acute respiratory infections were (1994–1999) (2002–2003) using National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey Hospital Survey. To evaluate...
OBJECTIVE. Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important cause of otitis media in children. In this study we estimated the effect routine childhood immunization with heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on frequent (3 episodes 6 months or 4 1 year) and pressure-equalizing tube insertions. PATIENTS AND METHODS. The population included all children who were enrolled at birth TennCare selected upstate New York commercial insurance plans as July 1998 continuously followed until 5 years old,...
Background. The conjugate vaccine against serogroup A Neisseria meningitidis (NmA), MenAfriVac, was first introduced in mass vaccination campaigns of 1–29-year-olds Burkina Faso 2010. It is not known whether MenAfriVac has an impact on NmA carriage.
An analysis assessing for associations between pertactin production and both clinical presentation vaccine history found a significant association vaccination status, suggesting that vaccinated persons have greater susceptibility to deficient strains compared producing strains.
Infants aged <1 year are at highest risk for pertussis-related morbidity and mortality. In 2012, Tdap (tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria acellular pertussis) vaccine was recommended women during each pregnancy to protect infants in the first months of life; data on effectiveness this strategy currently limited. We conducted a case-control evaluation among pertussis cases <2 old with cough onset between 1 January 2011 31 December 2014 from 6 US Emerging Infection Program Network states....
Background. During 9 May 2010–7 2011, an outbreak of pertussis-like illness (incidence, 80 cases per 100 000 persons) occurred in Franklin County, Ohio. The majority were identified by IS481-directed polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which does not differentiate among Bordetella species. We sought to determine etiology and epidemiologic characteristics. Methods. obtained demographic, clinical, vaccination-related data from the Ohio Disease Reporting System Impact Statewide Immunization...
Although cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture is the diagnostic reference standard for bacterial meningitis, its sensitivity limited, particularly when antibiotics were previously administered. CSF Gram staining and real-time PCR are theoretically less affected by antibiotics; however, it difficult to evaluate these tests with an imperfect standard. from patients suspected meningitis Salvador, Brazil tested culture, stain, using S. pneumoniae, N. meningitidis, H. influenzae specific primers...
BACKGROUND: Pertussis is poorly controlled, with the highest rates of morbidity and mortality among infants. Although source infant pertussis often unknown, when identified, mothers have historically been most common reservoir transmission. Despite high vaccination coverage, disease incidence has increasing. We examined whether infection (SOI) changed in United States light changing epidemiology. METHODS: Cases &lt;1 year old were identified at Enhanced Surveillance sites between January...
† Symptoms of Zika virus disease include acute onset fever, maculopapular rash, arthralgia, or conjunctivitis.§ Persons with ongoing possible exposure those who reside in frequently travel (e.g., daily weekly) to an area risk for transmission.¶ For the purposes this guidance, recent virus/flavivirus infection is defined as a during current pregnancy periconceptional period (i.e., 8 weeks before conception 6 last menstrual period).
CDC has updated its interim guidance for persons with possible Zika virus exposure who are planning to conceive (1) and prevent transmission of through sexual contact (2), now combined into a single document. Guidance care pregnant women was previously published (3). Possible is defined as travel or residence in an area active (http://www.cdc.gov/zika/geo/index.html), sex* without condom† partner traveled lived transmission. Based on new though limited data, recommends that all men...
BACKGROUND: Acellular pertussis vaccines replaced whole-cell for the 5-dose childhood vaccination series in 1997. A sixth dose of pertussis-containing vaccine, tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria and acellular pertussis, adsorbed (Tdap), was recommended 2005 adolescents adults. Studies examining Tdap vaccine effectiveness (VE) among who have received all are limited. METHODS: To assess VE duration protection, we conducted a matched case-control study during 2012 epidemic Washington born...
