Outbreak of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis - Kansas, 2021-2022
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2023 Sep 1;72(35):957-960. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7235a4.ABSTRACTAn outbreak of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) involved 13 persons in four households in a low-income, under-resourced urban Kansas community during November 2021-November 2022. A majority of the seven adults identified in the Kansas outbreak were born outside the United States in a country that had experienced an MDR TB outbreak with the same genotype during 2007-2009, whereas most of the six children in the Kansas outbreak were U.S.-born. Prompt identification, evaluation, and treatment of persons with MDR TB and their c...

Possible Exposures Among Mpox Patients Without Reported Male-to-Male Sexual Contact - Six U.S. Jurisdictions, November 1-December 14, 2022
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2023 Sep 1;72(35):944-948. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7235a2.ABSTRACTThe extent to which the 2022 mpox outbreak has affected persons without a recent history of male-to-male sexual contact (MMSC) is not well understood. During November 1-December 14, 2022, CDC partnered with six jurisdictional health departments to characterize possible exposures among mpox patients aged ≥18 years who did not report MMSC during the 3 weeks preceding symptom onset. Among 52 patients included in the analysis, 14 (27%) had a known exposure to a person with mpox, including sexual activity and other close intimate contact...

Effect of Quarantine on Body Weight Among Residents of Assisted Living Facilities During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The objective of the current study was to determine the degree and significance of weight loss during quarantine through retrospective chart review and use these findings to guide a quality improvement project. Pre-and post-COVID-19 weights were compared for 53 house call program residents. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used. This small convenience sample demonstrated significant weight loss for 40% of ALF residents quarantined during the COVID-19 pandemic. Males showed a greater risk of significant weight loss. Weight loss of 5% in 1 month is considered problematic in older adults. As quarantine meas...

Lessons learned from the successful polio vaccine experience not learned or applied with the development and implementation of the COVID-19 vaccines
Curr Opin Immunol. 2023 Aug 29;84:102386. doi: 10.1016/j.coi.2023.102386. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe eradication of polio during the latter half of the 20th century can be considered one of the greatest medical triumphs in history. This achievement can be attributed to the development of vaccines that received the public's almost unwavering acceptance of them, especially by parents who had been waiting/hoping for a medical breakthrough that would ensure that their children would not succumb to the devastating effects of infantile paralysis. Sixty years later, the worldwide population was now confronted with an equal...

Ongoing measles outbreaks in Romania, March 2023 to August 2023
Euro Surveill. 2023 Aug;28(35):2300423. doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.35.2300423.ABSTRACTMeasles cases have recently been increasing in Romania, with 460 confirmed cases by August 2023. From March 2023, measles cases increased, and outbreaks were recorded in Cluj, Bistrita Nasaud, Sibiu and Mures counties. New D8 virus variants were identified, different from the variants detected in Romania before the COVID-19 pandemic. We here provide epidemiological and molecular data on the current increase in measles cases in the context of the measles elimination process in the World Health Organization European Region.PMID:37650...

Asymptomatic infection with clade 2.3.4.4b highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) in carnivore pets, Italy, April 2023
Euro Surveill. 2023 Aug;28(35):2300441. doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.35.2300441.ABSTRACTIn April 2023, an outbreak of clade 2.3.4.4b highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses carrying the T271A mammalian adaptive mutation in the PB2 protein was detected in a backyard poultry farm in Italy. Five domestic dogs and one cat living on the premises had seroconverted in the absence of clinical signs. Virological and serological monitoring of individuals exposed to the virus proved the absence of human transmission, however, asymptomatic influenza A(H5N1) infections in mammalian pets may have important public health i...
