"If you need advice it is best to phone NHS Direct or your doctor," John Harris, HPA's expert on norovirus, says in an update on seasonal norovirus activity that the independent agency released on Tuesday...

Three female health workers, accompanied by a community leader, dart from house to house, squeezing a few drops of polio vaccine into the mouths of all the young children they can find, even those who pass by on the street. By 1 p.m., after giving hundreds of doses, they stop for the day -- the first of a national five-day effort. [More]

Immunity and the emergence of virulent pathogens.
Abstract
The emergence/re-emergence of infectious diseases has been one of the major concerns for human and wildlife health. In spite of the medical and veterinary progresses as to prevent and cure infectious diseases, during the last decades we have witnessed the emergence/re-emergence of virulent pathogens that pose a threat to humans and wildlife. Many factors that might drive the emergence of these novel pathogens have been identified and several reviews have been published on this topic in the last years. Among the most cited and recognized drivers of pathogen emergence are climate change, habitat destruction,...

Bacteriophage Therapy in Implant-Related Infections: An Experimental Study.
CONCLUSIONS: The addition of bacteriophage treatment to an appropriate antibiotic regimen helped to dissolve the biofilm of both types of bacteria studied. This effect on MRSA was more pronounced than that on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The addition of bacteriophage therapy to a standard antibiotic regimen may represent a valuable adjunct for eradicating implant-related infections.

[Results from the 2012 Paediatric National Survey on Empirical Use of Antibiotics in Children in Spain (ABES Study).]
CONCLUSIONS: Spanish paediatricians mainly select empirical antibiotics in accordance with current guidelines. However, there are features that could be improved in our country. The preparing and implementation of national consensus documents on the management of paediatric infectious diseases should be continued. We propose to regularly perform these kinds of surveys, including real prescription studies, and to also extend it to other paediatric specialities, in order to promote appropriateness of use of all the paediatric drugs in our country.

The dynamic influence of commensal bacteria on the immune response to pathogens.
Abstract
Alterations in the composition of commensal bacterial communities are associated with enhanced susceptibility to multiple inflammatory, allergic, metabolic and infectious diseases in humans. In the context of infection, commensal bacteria-derived signals can influence the host immune response to invasive pathogens by acting as an adjuvant to boost the immune response to infection or by providing tonic stimulation to induce basal expression of factors required for host defense. Conversely, some pathogens have evolved mechanisms that can utilize commensal bacteria to establish a replicative advantage within ...

Functional Modularity of the Arginine Catabolic Mobile Element Contributes to the Success of USA300 Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Abstract
The USA300 community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) lineage causes the majority of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) and is highly associated with the carriage of the arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME). However, the contribution of ACME to USA300's success in SSTIs is not completely understood. We show that the constitutive ACME-encoded arginine-deiminase system (Arc) allows USA300 to thrive in acidic environments that mimic human skin. Consequently, the ACME-Arc system drives excessive production of host polyamines, compounds uniquely toxic to S. aureus. To ...

A Path‐Specific SEIR Model for use with General Latent and Infectious Time Distributions
Summary.
Most current Bayesian SEIR (Susceptible, Exposed, Infectious, Removed (or Recovered)) models either use exponentially distributed latent and infectious periods, allow for a single distribution on the latent and infectious period, or make strong assumptions regarding the quantity of information available regarding time distributions, particularly the time spent in the exposed compartment. Many infectious diseases require a more realistic assumption on the latent and infectious periods. In this article, we provide an alternative model allowing general distributions to be utilized for both the exposed and infectio...

Debate around infection-dependent hemophagocytic syndrome in paediatrics
DiscussionInfection-dependent HPS has been widely observed, but there are no data concerning its incidence in children. A better understanding of the pathophysiology of HPS may clarify the interactions between the immune system and the variously implicated potential infectious agents. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection has been prominently associated with HPS, with clonal proliferation and the hyperactivation of EBV-infected T cells. However, a number of other viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections have been reported in association with HPS. In the case of low-risk HPS, corticosteroids and/or intravenous immuno...

To be included in the study, the infants had to be between 91 and 120 days of life, not infected with or exposed to a case of tuberculosis, without other chronic illness, or immunosuppressed from an infection other than HIV. A total of 1351 children were included in the analysis and were split into two groups based on their HIV status after testing: HIV positive and HIV negative (table 1). Intervention: The infants in both groups were randomly assigned to receive either isoniazid at a daily dose of 10–20...

ANSWERS From questions on page 16. ANSWER TO QUESTION 1 Answer is C, Linear immunoglobulin A (IgA) dermatosis is an autoimmune subepidermal vesiculobullous disease of children (chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood) and adults. It is the most common acquired blistering disease in the paediatric population and can appear as early as 6 months of age.1 Vesicles and bullae are usually arranged in an annular manner described as the ‘cluster of jewels’ appearance. Lesions in children occur mostly on the lower abdomen and anogenital areas with frequent oral and ocular involvement. Blood tests show antibodies di...

How to use Helicobacter pylori testing in paediatric practice
Introduction Helicobacter pylori is a slowly growing, gram negative microaerophilic bacterium that colonises the gastric mucosa. Cross-sectional epidemiological studies from both developed and developing countries suggest that the prevalence of H. pylori infection worldwide is declining, and may even be less than 10% in ‘westernised’ countries.1 2 H. pylori infection is acquired during the first decade of life and infection usually persists without treatment. Spontaneous clearance has been reported, although co-incidental antibiotic exposure may influence such ‘clearance’. H. pylori is the causative...

The treatment of imported malaria in children: an update
Since the 2010 publication in this journal of a review of the management of imported malaria for UK children, new evidence for the treatment of both severe and uncomplicated malaria has been published. This review discusses these new data and expands the scope of the previous review to include non-endemic countries outside of the UK. The results of the AQUAMAT trial in late 2010 and other studies have prompted the WHO to recommend that intravenous artesunate be used preferentially over quinine for the treatment of severe malaria caused by any Plasmodium species in both adults and children.

Evaluation of intravenous voriconazole in patients with compromised renal function
Conclusions:
Treatment of fungal infections in patients with compromised renal function with an SBECD-containing antifungal agent was not associated with AKI in clinical practice. Since the infecting organism was associated with AKI, decision on which antifungal to use should be determined by susceptibilities to the organism and not the incorporation of SBECD in the IV formulation.
