RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Rabies is a serious reemerging zoonosis in China. At present human rabies cases are primarily diagnosed based on clinical presentation. CASE PRESENTATION: In August 2012, a woman and her son were attacked by a stray dog in Henan, China. The son received rabies postexposure prophylaxis (wound treatment followed by vaccine, no immunoglobulin), however, the mother did not. Rabies infection was subsequently laboratory confirmed in the mother and she died in December; her son is alive and healthy after 2 years of follow-up. CONCLUSION: This report documents that the timely utilization of postexposure prophylaxis is a required measure in preventing rabies after exposure to an animal bite.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Human noroviruses are a major cause of viral gastroenteritis and are the main etiological agents of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks. An increasing number of outbreaks and sporadic cases of norovirus have been reported in China in recent years. There was a large acute gastroenteritis outbreak at a university in Henan Province, China in the past five years. We want to identify the source, transmission routes of the outbreak by epidemiological investigation and laboratory testing in order to provide the effective control measures. METHODS: The clinical cases were investigated, and analysed by descriptive epidemiological methods according to factors such as time, department, grade and so on. Samples were collected from clinical cases, healthy persons, the environment, water, and food at the university. These samples were tested for potential bacteria and viruses. The samples that tested positive for norovirus were selected for whole genome sequencing and the sequences were then analysed. RESULTS: From 4 March to 3 April 2015, a total of 753 acute diarrhoea cases were reported at the university; the attack rate was 3.29%. The epidemic curve showed two peaks, with the main peak occurring between 10 and 20 March, accounting for 85.26% of reported cases. The rates of norovirus detection in samples from confirmed cases, people without symptoms, and environmental samples were 32.72%, 17.39%, and 9.17%, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the norovirus belonged to the genotype GII.17. CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest and most severe outbreak caused by genotype GII.17 norovirus in recent years in China. The GII.17 viruses displayed high epidemic activity and have become a dominant strain in China since the winter of 2014, having replaced the previously dominant GII.4 Sydney 2012 strain.

RESUMO

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common childhood illness caused by enteroviruses. HFMD outbreaks and reported cases have sharply increased in China since 2008. Epidemiological and clinical data of HFMD cases reported in Henan Province were collected from 2008 to 2013. Clinical specimens were obtained from a subset of these cases. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the time, region and population distribution. The VP1 gene from EV71 and CA16 isolates was amplified, and the sequences were analyzed. 400,264 cases of HFMD were reported in this study, including 22,309 severe and 141 fatal cases. Incidence peaked between April and May. Laboratory confirmation was obtained for 27,692 (6.9%) cases; EV71, CA16, and other enteroviruses accounted for 59.5%, 14.1%, 26.4%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that EV71 belonged to the C4a evolution branch of C4 sub-genotype and CA16 belonged to subtype B1a or B1b. The occurrence of HFMD in Henan was closely related to season, age and region distribution. Children under five were the most affected population. The major pathogens causing HFMD and their genotypes have not notably changed in Henan. The data strongly support the importance of EV71 vaccination in a high population density area such as Henan, China.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: We assessed whether 16S rDNA and gyrB gene sequences, alone or combined, were suitable for determining the phylogenetic relationship among Salmonella enterica strains isolated from Tehran, Iran. Patients over five years of age enrolled in an acute diarrheal surveillance project in Tehran province between May 2004 and October 2006 were selected as our study group. METHODOLOGY: 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and gyrB genes from 40 Salmonella isolates obtained from patients with acute diarrhea were sequenced and the data was used to generate phylogenetic trees that facilitated isolate comparison. RESULTS: Salmonella strains clustered into five to seven phylogenetic groups, dependent on analysis of 16S rDNA (1546 bp), gyrB (1256 bp) or a combination of the two genes. By 16S rDNA sequence analysis, only strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi ( S. Typhi) clustered exclusively together. gyrB sequences permitted clustering of all the S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A isolates, and clustering of S. Enteritidis into two separate but exclusive groups. Concatenation of the two data sets did not significantly improve the resolution of the strains compared to the gyrB gene. None of the analyses completely resolved S. enterica Paratyphi B and C into mutually exclusive groups. CONCLUSION: Sequencing of gyrB represents a potentially useful tool for determining the phylogenetic relationship of S. enterica strains in Tehran, Iran. Genetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene alone or in combination with gyrB did not increase the resolution between serotypes of S. enterica. We speculate that inclusion of additional genetic markers would improve the sensitivity of the analysis.
