Preliminary results on an autochthonous dengue outbreak in Lombardy Region, Italy, August 2023
Euro Surveill. 2023 Sep;28(37). doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.37.2300471.ABSTRACTIn August 2023, six locally acquired dengue virus 1 infections were detected in Lodi province, Lombardy Region, in northern Italy, where the vector Aedes albopictus is present. Four cases were hospitalised, none died. The viruses clustered with Peruvian and Brazilian strains collected between 2021 and 2023. This preliminary report highlights the importance of continued integrated surveillance of imported vector-borne virus infections and the potential for tropical disease outbreaks in highly populated regions of northern Italy where compet...

New SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant with Spike Protein Mutation Y451H, Kilifi, Kenya, March-May 2023
We report a newly emerged SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariant FY.4 that has mutations Y451H in spike and P42L in open reading frame 3a proteins. FY.4 emergence coincided with increased SARS-CoV-2 cases in coastal Kenya during April-May 2023. Continued SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance is needed to identify new lineages to inform COVID-19 outbreak prevention.PMID:37708843 | DOI:10.3201/eid2911.230894

Management Quality of Surgical Instrument and Influence of Cleaning and Sterilization on the Surgical Outcomes of the Patient: A Review
Altern Ther Health Med. 2023 Sep 15:AT8850. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhen a medical device or surgical instrument comes into contact with the patient's sterile tissue or mucous membrane during the various processes, the risk of introducing infections into the patient's body increases. Furthermore, an infection may be transmitted from one patient to another, from a patient to a member of the medical staff and vice versa or from the environment to the patient via improperly sterilized or disinfected equipment. A number of outbreaks and diseases have been documented in the hospital setting as a result of poorly sanitized...

Wastewater Surveillance Data as a Complement to Emergency Department Visit Data for Tracking Incidence of Influenza A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus - Wisconsin, August 2022-March 2023
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2023 Sep 15;72(37):1005-1009. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7237a2.ABSTRACTWastewater surveillance has been used to assist public health authorities in tracking local transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The usefulness of wastewater surveillance to track community spread of other respiratory pathogens, including influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), is less clear. During the 2022-23 respiratory diseases season, concentrations of influenza A virus and RSV in wastewater samples in three major Wisconsin cities were compared with emergency department (ED) visits associated with these pathogens. In all...

Context Matters: Patterns in Physical Distancing Behavior Across Situations and Over Time During the Covid-19 Pandemic in the Netherlands
CONCLUSIONS: Physical and social context matters for physical distancing, highlighting the importance of developing strategies for pandemic preparedness that improve opportunities for physical distancing (e.g., reducing crowding, one-way traffic) and accommodate young people to safely meet even in times of high pandemic severity and lockdowns. Future studies should account for the physical and social context in which distancing behavior is observed.PMID:37708324 | DOI:10.1093/abm/kaad053

Post-pandemic modeling of COVID-19: Waning immunity determines recurrence frequency
Math Biosci. 2023 Sep 12:109067. doi: 10.1016/j.mbs.2023.109067. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are many factors in the current phase of the COVID-19 pandemic that signal the need for new modeling ideas. In fact, most traditional infectious disease models do not address adequately the waning immunity, in particular as new emerging variants have been able to brake the immune shield acquired either by previous infection by a different strain of the virus, or by inoculation of vaccines not effective for the current variant. Furthermore, in a post-pandemic landscape in which reporting is no longer a default, it is impossi...

Risk factors of Omicron variant associated acute encephalitis/encephalopathy in children
CONCLUSIONS: Most cases of COVID-19-associated acute encephalitis/encephalopathy showed no evidence of direct viral invasion but associations with older age, increased peripheral neutrophil, and serum procalcitonin. These findings may imply the neutrophil-mediated systemic inflammatory response plays an important role on central nerve system, leading to cerebral dysfunction.PMID:37709632 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmii.2023.08.010
