Abstract:

Age affects the human frame at all levels - from the skin which is ravaged by exposure to ultraviolet light and toxic irritants to the immune system which becomes progressively less responsive to antigenic stimuli. Bacteraemia follows a focal infection and thus any change which results in increased infection will result in an increased chance of bacteraemia. Therefore any factors bearing on focal infection will, of necessity influence not only the possibility but also the severity of a bacteraemia.

Abstract:

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection causes ~64 million cases of respiratory disease and 200,000 deaths annually worldwide, yet there is no broadly effective prophylactic or treatment regimen. RSV can produce acute respiratory illness in patients of all ages but strikes the age extremes, infants and the elderly, with highest frequency presumably due to innate immune deficiencies. A higher morbidity and mortality has been reported for the elderly above 65 years of age, which has been attributed to immune senescence. Efforts to generate an effective vaccine have thus far been unsuccessful

Abstract:

Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children, remaining a major public health concern, especially affecting children under 5 years old from low-income countries. Unfortunately, information regarding their epidemiology is still limited in Peru. Methods: A secondary data analysis was performed from a previous cross-sectional study conducted in children with a probable diagnosis of Pertussis from January 2010 to July 2012. All samples were analyzed via Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for the following etiologies: Influenza-A,

Abstract:

As the HIV epidemic enters into its fourth decade, the epidemiology continues to change and the response continues to adapt. One of the most significant trends in HIV in developed countries has been the ageing of the cohort as HIV-positive individuals infected while young survive longer with anti-retroviral treatment and due to ongoing sexual transmission among those aged 50 years and older. In the United States for example, recent estimates have noted that around 50% of people living with HIV will be older than 50 by 2015. Despite these clear trends and their significant implications for prev

Abstract:

Background: Community acquired pneumonia causes 5,9% of deaths in elderly South Africans. Mortality rates are increased in those in whom initiation of therapy with an appropriate agent has been delayed. Whereas Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Legionella pneumophila are sensitive to the macrolides or tetracycline, they do not respond to the currently recommended first-line agents for community acquired pneumonia, penicillin or a cephalosporin. It was therefore necessary to assess the prevalence of exposure to these 2 organisms in the elderly in order to determine whether a modification in the recomme

Abstract:

To a large degree, the political and economic conditions of third world countries influence poverty levels, especially in rural areas. This poverty affects the availability of basic services, such as potable water, refuse elimination, housing, and sewage systems. As a consequence of these deficiencies, more diseases are transmitted through the water and environment. These diseases include acute diarrhea and acute respiratory infections in children younger than five years of age. Consequently, it is important to have available water and sewage elimination to control these diseases among childre

Abstract:

CONCLUSION: A multi-faceted hand hygiene intervention with pocket-sized containers of alcohol-based hand rub was effective in increasing hand rubbing compliance and reducing incidence of total infections requiring hospitalization in elderly LTCFs. Its effect on outbreaks still needs further investigations. The questionnaire developed in this study may be a simple and effective method to assess the attitude and compliance change of the HCWs after implementing a hand hygiene programme.<br>DESIGN: Clustered randomized controlled trial<br>INTERVENTIONS: After a 3-month run-in period, we randomized
