Abstract During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a new
phenomenon manifesting as a multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children
(MIS-C) which has a similar clinical presentation to Kawasaki disease, toxic
shock syndrome and severe sepsis has emerged. Although the number of MIS-C
reports is increasing, rare reports in Asia is still available. To our
knowledge, this study is the la... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluation of standardized scored inspections for Legionnaires' disease prevention, during the Athens 2004 OlympicsEpidemiology and Infection - Tập 134 Số 5 - Trang 1074-1081 - 2006

The study was designed to determine the contribution of standardized scored
inspections implemented during the Athens 2004 Pre-Olympic and Olympic period,
in assessing the presence of Legionella spp. in water sites. Inspection grading
scores of 477 water supply systems, 127 cooling towers and 134 decorative
fountains were associated with the corresponding microbiological test results of
2514 sampl... hiện toàn bộ
Implications for Northern Europe of the emergence of West Nile virus in the USAEpidemiology and Infection - Tập 131 Số 1 - Trang 583-589 - 2003
Ernest A. Gould
The unexpected appearance of fatal encephalitis in six elderly people living in
New York in 1999, heralded the re-birth of arbovirology in the United States of
America. The subsequent rapid spread through North America and impact of the
disease on humans, birds, horses and a wide range of other species including
alligators and frogs, has brought West Nile virus (WNV) to the attention of

The epidemiology of leptospirosis in North Queensland: I. General survey of animal hostsEpidemiology and Infection - Tập 62 Số 4 - Trang 451-484 - 1964
Marie L. Emanuel, I. M. Mackerras, D. J. W. Smith
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis that causes appreciable ill health and economic loss
in North Queensland. Fourteen serotypes ofLeptospirawere known to infect man in
the area, and information on their local distribution and seasonal and
occupational incidence had been obtained. The next step in the investigation was
to determine the reservoir hosts and estimate their significance.Wild animals

The growth ofLeptospira australisB in the kidneys of mice in the incipient experimental carrier stateEpidemiology and Infection - Tập 60 Số 4 - Trang 435-442 - 1962
S. Faine
The growth ofL. australisB in the kidneys of young mice which become carriers
was followed after experimental intraperitoneal infection. There was a primary
growth corresponding to generalized acute infection and terminated at the time
of appearance of antibody. A secondary growth bf leptospirae followed in the
kidneys alone about 7–10 days after infection, coinciding with the onset of
leptospirur... hiện toàn bộ
Survey on the distribution of the gene 4 alleles of human rotaviruses by polymerase chain reactionEpidemiology and Infection - Tập 112 Số 3 - Trang 615-622 - 1994
Haotian Wu, K. Taniguchi, F. Wakasugi, Susumu Ukae, S. Chiba, Mitsuaki OHSETO, A. Hasegawa, Tomoko Urasawa, Shozo Urasawa
SUMMARYThe presence of six gene 4 alleles (or VP4 genotypes) in human
rotaviruses has been recognized. Using 16 representative cultivable human
rotavirus strains, we confirmed the specificity of VP4 genotyping by polymerase
chain reaction (PCR) using the nested oligonucleotides specific to each of the
four representative gene 4 alleles. Using the PCR. we surveyed the gene 4
alleles of 199 human ro... hiện toàn bộ
Zero-inflated negative binomial mixed model: an application to two microbial organisms important in oesophagitisEpidemiology and Infection - Tập 144 Số 11 - Trang 2447-2455 - 2016
Rui Fang, Brandie D. Wagner, J. Kirk Harris, Sophie Fillon
SUMMARYAltered microbial communities are thought to play an important role in
eosinophilic oesophagitis, an allergic inflammatory condition of the oesophagus.
Identification of the majority of organisms present in human-associated
microbial communities is feasible with the advent of high throughput sequencing
technology. However, these data consist of non-negative, highly skewed sequence
counts wi... hiện toàn bộ
Late-onset sepsis and mortality among neonates in a Brazilian Intensive Care Unit: a cohort study and survival analysisEpidemiology and Infection - Tập 147 - 2019
Felipe Teixeira de Mello Freitas, A. F. O. L. Araujo, Maria Isa Souza Lacerda de Melo, Gustavo Adolfo Sierra Romero
AbstractA cohort study was performed from January 2014 to December 2016 in a
Brazilian neonatal intensive care unit, including neonates with high risk for
infection and death. We estimated bloodstream infection (BSI) incidence and
conducted a survival analysis, considering the time to death and to the first
episode of BSI as outcomes, comparing very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates with

SUMMARYShiga toxin-producingEscherichia coli(STEC) have led to outbreaks
worldwide and are considered emerging pathogens. Infections by STEC in humans
have been reported after consumption of mainly beef, but also deer. This study
investigated the occurrence of STEC in deer in Germany. The virulence
