- 1From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedIdentification of emerging bacterial pathogens generally results from a chain of events involving microscopy, serology, molecular tools, and culture. Because of the spectacular molecular techniques developed in the last...
- 2From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedPopulation-based surveillance for unexplained death and critical illness possibly due to infectious causes (UNEX) was conducted in four U.S. Emerging Infections Program sites (population 7.7 million) from May 1, 1995, to...
- 3From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedWe describe a case of Cryptosporidium muris infection in an HIV-infected adult with diarrhea in Kenya. Sequence analysis of an 840-bp region of the 18S rRNA gene locus demonstrated the isolate had 100% nucleotide...
- 4From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedAntimicrobial resistance rates for shigella, campylobacter, nontyphoidal salmonella, and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli were compared for Vietnam and Thailand from 1996 to 1999. Resistance to...
- 5From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedA national search for cases of Buruli ulcer in Ghana identified 5,619 patients, with 6,332 clinical lesions at various stages. The overall crude national prevalence rate of active lesions was 20.7 per 100,000, but the...
- 6From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedThe Burkholderia cepacia complex is an important group of pathogens in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Although evidence for patient-to-patient spread is clear, microbial factors facilitating transmission are poorly...
- 7From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedWe initiated a worldwide collaborative study, including 455 episodes of bacteremia, to elucidate the clinical patterns of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Historically, community-acquired pneumonia has been consistently associated...
- 8From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedCountywide antibiotic resistance patterns may provide additional information from that obtained from national sampling or individual hospitals. We reviewed susceptibility patterns of selected bacterial strains isolated...
- 9From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedThis paper investigates the relationship between animal rabies and postexposure treatment (PET) in Ontario by examining the introduction of human diploid cell vaccine (HDCV) in 1980 and the initiation of an oral rabies...
- 10From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedFrom 1974 to 1998, 22 isolates of an unusual bacterium, designated as CDC nonoxidizer 1 group (NO- 1), were sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for identification. The organism's phenotypic...
- 11From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infection has been described only in patients with cystic fibrosis (1) and in isolated outbreaks in intensive-care unit (ICU) or neoplastic...
- 12From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedIn the article, "A Large Outbreak of Legionnaires' Disease at a Flower Show, the Netherlands," by Jeroen W. Den Boer et al., errors appear in two figures and their legends. In Figure 3, part 3a should be identified as...
- 13From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedIn December 1997, 170 hemorrhagic fever-associated deaths were reported in Garissa District, Kenya. Laboratory testing identified evidence of acute Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV). Of the 171 persons enrolled in a...
- 14From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedWe describe the first case of Bartonella quintana endocarditis affecting a prosthetic valve in a person with no known risk factors for this infection. Bartonella should be considered as a cause of endocarditis in any...
- 15From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedHemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis--which is associated with a variety of infections, malignant neoplasms, autoimmune diseases, and immunodeficiencies--is an uncommon syndrome with a rapidly fatal outcome. We describe...
- 16From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedAs part of a Congressional initiative begun in 1999 to upgrade national public health capabilities for response to acts of biological terrorism, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was designated the...
- 17From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedBroad-range rDNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) provides an alternative, cultivation-independent approach for identifying pathogens. In 1995, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention initiated population-based...
- 18From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedWhile some trends in antimicrobial resistance rates are universal, others appear to be unique for specific regions. In Taiwan, the strikingly high prevalence of resistance to macrolides and streptogramin in clinical...
- 19From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRecent bioterrorism events invite speculation on the nature and extent of human capacity for destructive as well as constructive behavior. Drawing a line between those who create suffering to further their cause and...
