[Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. Resurgence of measles in Europe].
Authors: Garcés-Sánchez M, Renales-Toboso M, Bóveda-García M, Díez-Domingo J Abstract Measles is a rash illness of moderate severity and high risk of serious complications, with recovery in several weeks. It is a viral disease caused by one of the most infectious and contagious pathogens that exists, whose only known reservoir is human. In 1998, the European Region of the WHO set a target of eliminating measles by 2010. This goal has not been achieved. Furthermore, it has been observed the resurgence of the disease in some parts of Europe. We review the disease and its vaccines as well as the epidemio...

[Survey of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus control measures in hospitals participating in the VINCat program].
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides information on the implementation of measures to prevent MRSA in hospitals participating in the VINCat program. Most of the centres have an MRSA protocol, however compliance with it should be improved, especially in areas such as active detection on admission in patients at risk, hand hygiene adherence, cleaning frequency and optimising the use of antibiotics.

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium clinical isolates from two hospitals in Mexico: First detection of VanB phenotype-vanA genotype.
CONCLUSION: The high resistance to most antimicrobial agents and the moderate cross-transmission of VREF detected accentuates the need for continuous surveillance of E. faecium in the hospital setting. This is also the first reported incidence of the E. faecium VanB phenotype-vanA genotype in the Americas.

High prevalence of asymptomatic carriers of Tropheryma whipplei in different populations from the North of Spain.
CONCLUSIONS: There is a high prevalence of asymptomatic carriers of T. whipplei among healthy and in HIV-infected people from Spain. The role of T. whipplei in HIV patients with MS is unclear, but the prevalence is higher than in other populations.

Scarlet fever: A not so typical exanthematous pharyngotonsillitis (based on 171 cases).
CONCLUSION: Scarlet fever pharyngotonsillitis differs from the traditional streptococcal pharyngotonsillitis, and its evaluation using clinical prediction rules such as Centor or McIsaac is questionable. The main diagnostic key must certainly be rash, regardless of patient age. PMID: 26585817 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiologia Clinica)
