Increased number of cryptosporidiosis cases with travel history to Croatia might be related to swimming pools, Germany, 2023
Euro Surveill. 2024 Jan;29(1). doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.1.2300699.ABSTRACTIn August and September 2023, an unusually high number of cryptosporidiosis cases identified by routine German surveillance had travelled to Croatia (n = 23). Nine cases had stayed in the same camping resort and seven further cases had stayed at other camping sites within 15 km. Based on our standardised questionnaires, the most likely source of infection was swimming pools (93%). Further environmental investigations on site might reveal potential common sources of contamination that could be targeted by control measures.PMID:38179624 | DOI:...

Relative vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19 hospitalisation in persons aged ≥ 65 years: results from a VEBIS network, Europe, October 2021 to July 2023
Euro Surveill. 2024 Jan;29(1). doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.1.2300670.ABSTRACTTo monitor relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) against COVID-19-related hospitalisation of the first, second and third COVID-19 booster (vs complete primary vaccination), we performed monthly Cox regression models using retrospective cohorts constructed from electronic health registries in eight European countries, October 2021-July 2023. Within 12 weeks of administration, each booster showed high rVE (≥ 70% for second and third boosters). However, as of July 2023, most of the relative benefit has waned, particularly in persons ≥ 80-yea...

Inventory study on completeness of tuberculosis case notifications in Poland in 2018
ConclusionsOur results suggest that the surveillance system captures ≥ 90% of estimated TB cases in Poland; thus, the notification rate is a good proxy for the diagnosed TB incidence in Poland. Reporting delays causing discrepancies between data sources could be improved by the planned change from a paper-based to a digital reporting system.PMID:38179620 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.1.2300081 (Source: Euro Surveill)
