Objective: Describe the prevalence of Bordetella pertussis via PCR in children under 5 years old hospitalized as probable cases of pertussis and report the most common clinical features among them. Results: A positive PCR result for B. pertussis was observed in 20.5% of our samples (18/88), one-third of them were from infants between 2 and 3 months old. The most common symptoms were paroxysms of coughing (88.9%), difficulty breathing (72.2%), cyanosis (77.8%) and fever (50%). The mother was the most common symptomatic carrier (27.8%), followed by uncles/aunts (22.2%) among children with pertus

Hanseníase é uma das mais antigas e instigantes doenças que acometem o ser humano. Ferramentas moleculares e imunológicas são avaliadas em diversos estudos epidemiológicos, porém com resultados controversos devido à alta complexidade da doença e metodologias utilizadas. Este estudo descreve o uso da sorologia anti PGL-I e da detecção de DNA em swab nasal para caracterizar a epidemiologia molecular do Mycobacterium leprae em pacientes e contatos domiciliares de pacientes com hanseníase.

Abstract:

Background The incidence of TB in children under 15 years, accounts for 8% of the global TB burden. In 2018, the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimated that there were approximately 11 000 multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB cases in South Africa. Despite having very clear guidelines on TB treatment programs and management, availability of inexpensive diagnostic tests, curative and preventive therapies, and the widespread use of the BCG vaccines, South Africa continues to have the highest the number of MDR-TB cases per capita.

Abstract:

Leprosy is an important health problem in Brazil, with a high detection rate despite the application of the multidrug therapy. The nasal mucosa is considered the preferential site of entry and exit of the Mycobacterium leprae, although some lesions have been found in the buccal mucosa. However, the buccal mucosa involvement in bacilli transmission has never been investigated. We have shown the presence of the M. leprae DNA in buccal swabs of leprosy patients (334) and household contacts (1288) through conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and results were correlated with clinical and o

Abstract:

Background: Household contacts (HHCs) of pulmonary TB patients are at high risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and early disease development. Tuberculin skin test (TST) has been traditionally used to identify infected individuals; however, its use is limited by low specificity in populations with high levels of BCG vaccination or significant exposure to non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM), and reduced sensitivity in immunocompromised individuals. Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) such as QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) using Mtb specific antigens provide an alternati

Abstract:

In this thesis, three stochastic epidemic models for intervention for emerging diseases are considered. The models are variants of real-time, responsive intervention, based upon observing diagnosed cases and targeting intervention towards individuals they have infected or are likely to have infected, be they housemates or named contacts. These models are: (i) a local tracing model for a disease spreading amongst a community of households, wherein intervention (vaccination and/or isolation) is directed towards housemates of diagnosed individuals, (ii) a contact tracing model for a disease sprea

Abstract:

This dissertation examines components of Hawaiian household economies to understand how people on the remote Nā Pali Coast of Kaua'i Island, Hawai'i, maintained continuity in domestic life well into the late nineteenth century. It focuses on two case studies, notably a series of house sites at Nu'alolo Kai and Miloli'i, two neighboring communities on the western end of Kaua'i's remote Nā Pali Coast. This research situates Hawaiian house sites of the post-contact period in the tradition of household archaeology in Polynesia more broadly. However, it considers patterns of material change in colo

Abstract:

Introduction: World Health Organization recommends screening of household contact as a key to improve detection of tuberculosis cases. Ethiopia’s current tuberculosis household contact investigation strategies rely on symptomatic contacts attending health facilities for investigation. This approach has not led to the detection of additional tuberculosis (TB) cases; alternative approaches have to be considered. The purpose of the research was to develop guidelines in endorsing the implementation of a community based household contact investigation program in Addis Ababa. Methods:

Abstract:

This study explores the difficulties which arise in complex stepfamilies, where both partners have children from previous marriages. Problems of family integration which create discord among family members include boundary ambiguity, contact consistency and role confusion. Boundary ambiguity refers to the uncertainty surrounding family membership which develops because of the extended network of family members acquired in the previous marriage(s) and the present one. Contact consistency relates to the consistency/inconsistency of patterns of contact between stepfamily members and the non-resid
