TY - JOUR T1 - Outdoor carbon monoxide poisoning attributed to tractor exhaust--Kentucky, 1997. AN - 79503711; 9427214 AB - Carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication is a common cause of reported unintentional fatal poisonings in the United States. From 1979 through 1988, an average of 1140 deaths per year were attributed to unintentional CO poisoning. Most of these deaths resulted from exposures in enclosed spaces; CO poisoning associated with outdoor activities occurs rarely. This report describes the investigation of CO poisoning in a farmer in Kentucky resulting from exposure to exhaust from a tractor in an open field and provides recommendations for preventing similar exposures. In June 1997, a 37-year-old female farmer who had been working in a field for 5 hours was admitted to a Kentucky hospital emergency department (ED) because of CO inhalation, dehydration, and heat exhaustion. A nurse from the Community Partners for Healthy Farming (CPHF) Project was notified of the incident, and an investigation was conducted by the CPHF nurse, staff from the Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center (KIPRC), and CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

AN - 79495440; 9427213 AB - Many heating appliances rely on combustion of carbon-based fuels and therefore are potential sources of health-threatening indoor air pollution. Most combustion heating appliances are vented to the outside of buildings to facilitate removal of the products of combustion, which include carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and water vapor. However, some combustion heating devices may be unvented (e.g., kerosene- and propane-fueled space heaters, some gas-fueled log sets, and cooking devices used improperly for heating), and the use of such unvented devices in closed settings may be associated with risks for exposure to toxic gases and other emissions. This report presents an analysis of data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) to estimate the number and regional distribution of adults using unvented residential heating appliances and stoves or ovens misused as heating devices in the United States during 1988-1994. The findings indicate that the percentage of adults using these devices was higher in the South, among low-income groups, among blacks, and among rural residents, and underscore the need for public education about the health risks associated with exposure to elevated levels of combustion by-products. NHANES III collected data from approximately 20,000 adults about household characteristics, including the prevalence of various types of residential heating appliances, the use of unvented combustion space heaters, and use of stoves or ovens specifically for heating during the previous year. NHANES weights were used to obtain national estimates based on these responses. Because responses by race/ethnicity other than for whites and blacks were too small for reliable estimates, responses from all others were combined. JF - MMWR.

We examined the non-immune, direct effect of TDI on airway reactivity in vitro in the absence of an inflammatory response using the guinea-pig isolated, perfused trachea preparation to measure reactivity to methacholine (MCh), and fixed point ion mobility spectrometry to measure moment to moment levels of TDI vapor in air that was delivered to the tracheal mucosa. MCh was added to the mucosal modified Krebs-Henseleit (MKH) perfusing solution to generate control concentration-response curves for contractile responses. The lumen was then emptied and perfused with air or air containing 5, 20 or 70 ppb TDI vapor, after which the trachea was perfused with MKH solution and reactivity to MCh was re-examined. After only 30 min of treatment, TDI vapor concentration-dependently increased reactivity of the trachea to MCh (2.4- and 2.9-fold, respectively, for 20 and 70 ppb TDI; 5 ppb TDI and air alone had no effect). In tracheas treated in vitro with 2 mu M capsaicin to deplete tachykinins, TDI caused the same (4-fold) increase in reactivity to MCh that was observed in control tracheas. However, TDI vapor (70 ppb) no longer enhanced reactivity to MCh in tracheas from which the epithelium had been removed. Our results indicate that a direct, non-immune, non-inflammatory action of TDI on respiratory epithelium leads to hyperreactivity of airways in vitro.

AN - 79495128; 9415679 AB - In the 1960s, thalidomide caused limb deficiencies in thousands of infants worldwide. The limb deficiencies were frequently of the intercalary type. As a result, numerous countries started birth defect surveillance programs. In 1967, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) started the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP), a population-based surveillance system, to provide early warning against new teratogens. Recent studies have shown that thalidomide may be beneficial for a range of conditions, including cancer and AIDS, and it may once again become widely available. Here, we examine the ability of MACDP to detect an increase in the birth prevalence of limb deficiency as an early warning of fetal exposure to thalidomide. We calculated base rates for all limb deficiencies, for bilateral nonsyndromic intercalary or preaxial deficiencies, and for all nonsyndromic intercalary limb deficiencies among Atlanta infants born from 1968 through 1993. We used relative risk estimates from previous studies and a range of pregnancy exposure rates for thalidomide. We tested the statistical power of MACDP to detect subtle changes in the birth prevalence of these defects using Poisson and cumulative sum (CUSUM) techniques. The base rates for all limb deficiencies, for bilateral intercalary or preaxial deficiencies, and for all intercalary limb deficiencies, were 0.53, 0.035, and 0.022/1,000, and the estimated relative risks were 175, 4,570, and 8,180, respectively. We varied the assumed rate of exposure to thalidomide from 1/10,000 to 5/100. With a 1/1,000 exposure rate, both Poisson and CUSUM techniques will detect a rate change in intercalary limb deficiency in about 6 months of monitoring, and a rate change in bilateral intercalary or preaxial deficiencies in about 12 months of monitoring. When monitoring all limb deficiencies, a pregnancy exposure rate of 3.5% or less would go unnoticed by the Poisson method and would take more than 50 years for the CUSUM method to signal an alarm with a 1/1,000 exposure rate. However, for rates of exposure less than 1/1,000, a progressively longer period of time or larger sample are needed to detect a rate change by both methods. Our findings highlight the importance of enlarging the monitored population and correct case classification in birth defects surveillance.

Although the relation between alcohol use and motor-vehicle-related deaths involving teenagers is well established, understanding of the role of alcohol in such deaths among younger children is limited. To characterize the involvement of alcohol in motor-vehicle-related deaths of U.S. children aged <15 years during 1985-1996, CDC analyzed data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicate that approximately one fourth of all traffic deaths among children aged <15 years involved alcohol and that in nearly two thirds of passenger deaths involving a legally drunk driver, the child was in the car driven by the legally drunk driver.

AN - 79446334; 9395028 AB - In 1991, approximately 13.8 million adults in the United States met diagnostic criteria for alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence, or both. In addition, at least 80% of persons in this group were likely to be daily tobacco smokers and, therefore, at increased risk for oral and pharyngeal cancers. In Minnesota, among adult smokers with a history of alcohol abuse during 1972-1983, the number of tobacco-related deaths was higher than the number of alcohol-related deaths. To assess rates of smoking cessation among adults with a history of alcohol problems, the University of Nebraska Medical Center conducted an intervention study with 1 year of follow-up during 1995-1996 in 12 residential alcohol-treatment centers in Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska. This report summarizes the findings, which suggest that a substantial proportion of adults recently treated for alcoholism attempted to quit smoking, even though actual quit rates were low.

AN - 79532748; 9447407 AB - We conducted this study in Budapest, Hungary, to better characterize the effects of exposure to ambient air pollutants on the lung function of asthmatic children. The 60 study participants were 9-14 years old, had physician-diagnosed asthma, and were symptomatic during the previous year. Their ambient air pollutant exposures to total suspended particulates (TSP) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) were estimated from measurements made at the air monitor nearest their residence. We used analysis of variance and a fixed-effects model to assess the impact of the pollutants upon their morning and evening peak expiratory flow rates (PEFR) from 13 September to 5 December 1993. Total suspended particulates and SO2 concentrations exceeded World Health Organization guideline limits on several days. Pollutant concentrations and PEFR increased during the study period. After adjusting for temperature, humidity, weekend/weekday, and the time trend, we found no consistent association between air pollutant concentrations and PEFR. Fall to winter seasonal changes had a large influence on PEFR and may have overshadowed the effects of the air pollutants during the study period.

AN - 79525760; 9439445 AB - We describe a sensitive and specific method for measuring cotinine in serum by HPLC coupled to an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometer. This method can analyze 100 samples/day on a routine basis, and its limit of detection of 50 ng/L makes it applicable to the analysis of samples from nonsmokers potentially exposed to environmental tobacco smoke. Analytical accuracy has been demonstrated from the analysis of NIST cotinine standards and from comparative analyses by both the current method and gas chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry. Precision has been examined through the repetitive analysis of a series of bench and blind QC materials. This method has been applied to the analysis of cotinine in serum samples collected as part of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III).

The indicators included dichotomous variables measuring dental caries and treatment needs, presence of sealants, injuries to the anterior teeth, and dental fluorosis. Methods: Following training and calibration, data were collected over an eight-day period in April 1994 among 632 elementary schoolchildren (aged 5 to 12 years) in Monticello, Georgia. Both screening and questionnaire findings were compared pairwise with results from visual-tactile examinations done by a dentist. Validity, represented by sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values, was assessed for screening results from the dental hygienist, the nurse, and the parent-completed questionnaire. Results: Validity was high for screening for caries and treatment needs (>90% for sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values in a sample having 30% to 40% prevalence). Less valid data -- mainly an effect of false negatives -- were obtained for fluorosis, injuries, and presence of sealants. No significant difference in validity was observed between the nurse and the dental hygienist. One-third of respondents to the questionnaire did not know if their children needed fillings (a proxy for untreated decay) or had received sealants; only knowledge of restorations was comparable to results from screening. Intraexaminer reliability for the two screeners ranged from 85 to 100 for percent agreement and 0.70 to 0.93 for kappa scores. Conclusions: Screening by dental hygienists or nurses can provide valid data for surveillance of dental caries and treatment needs. Training for visual assessment of fluorosis and injuries must be improved to diminish the proportion of false negatives. A parent-completed questionnaire is less effective than visual screening for evaluating oral health status in children.

In this study an ecological analysis, using the county as the unit of analysis, was performed to generate hypotheses about community-level determinants of syphilis rates. In the multivariate regression model, sociodemographic characteristics accounted for 71% of the variation in syphilis rates among counties. With other factors accounted for, the most highly correlated characteristics were percentage non-Hispanic Black population, county location in the South, percentage of the population that was urban, percentage Hispanic population, and percentage of births to women younger than 20 years.

AN - 79450171; 9393658 AB - Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is caused by heavy alcohol consumption during pregnancy and is characterized by specific anomalies of the face; prenatal and postnatal growth deficits; and a variety of central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities, including mental retardation. Children with either full or partial FAS often incur severe and costly secondary disabilities. Despite the importance of surveillance for establishing the magnitude of FAS and in monitoring trends in the occurrence of this disease, population-based surveillance for FAS has been difficult because the syndrome can be diagnosed only by clinical observation and often is not recognized until after the child reaches school age. Although most FAS surveillance has been based on diagnoses among newborns, most (89%) cases (full FAS and partial FAS) are diagnosed after the age of 6 years. To develop a more accurate estimate of the prevalence of FAS in a defined population, in 1997 CDC linked data from the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) and the Metropolitan Atlanta Developmental Disabilities Surveillance Program (MADDSP) for children born in Atlanta during 1981-1989 (the most recent birth year for which data were available for 3-10-year-olds). This report presents a multiple-source method for FAS surveillance that is more complete than previous methods and that enables comparison of rates between states. JF - MMWR.

AN - 79435455; 9385873 AB - Fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine are appetite suppressants that were in widespread use in the United States. On July 8, 1997, 24 cases of valvular heart disease in women who had been treated with fenfluramine and phentermine were publicly reported. Although valvular lesions were observed on both sides of the heart, a left-sided valve was affected in all cases. The histopathologic features were similar to those observed in carcinoid-induced valvular disease, a serotonin-related syndrome. Based on these data, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a public health advisory on July 8, followed by letters from FDA to 700,000 U.S. health-care practitioners and institutions requesting information about any additional similar patients. Subsequently, reports of fenfluramine- or dexfenfluramine-associated valvulopathy increased. This report summarizes the data used by FDA in its decision to request voluntary withdrawal of these drugs from the market and presents interim public health recommendations for persons exposed to these drugs.

AN - 79424717; 9370224 AB - In 1996, the prevalence of cigarette smoking was added to the list of nationally notifiable health conditions reported by states to CDC. The addition of a health-related behavior to the list of diseases and illnesses reflected the recognized role of tobacco use as the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. This report summarizes the 1996 prevalence of current smoking among adults in 49 states and the District of Columbia and presents state-specific estimates of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure for children and adolescents residing in homes where adults smoke. The findings indicate that state-specific smoking prevalence among adults varied twofold and that approximately 15 million children and adolescents were exposed to ETS in their home. JF - MMWR.

AN - 79417965; 9370225 AB - Cigarette brands that deliver < or = 15 mg of tar in official smoking-machine tests accounted for 72.7% of total cigarette sales in 1995. Many of these brands use ventilated filters-a system with small perforations around the filter that are designed to draw in additional air during smoking. In brands with ventilated filters, air introduced through the vents dilutes the amounts of tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide (CO), and other hazardous constituents of cigarette smoke. This report summarizes results of tests conducted by researchers at The Pennsylvania State University during July 1997 to measure the percentage of air drawn through the filter vents of 32 brands of U.S. cigarettes that have tar yields rated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) as ranging from 1 mg-18 mg; the report also examines the correlation between the degree of filter ventilation and tar yield. The findings indicate that 30 (94%) of 32 brands tested were ventilated and that percentage filter ventilation varied inversely with standard tar, nicotine, and CO yields. JF - MMWR.

AN - 79325529; 9327078 AB - We conducted a 4-year (1/89-12/92) retrospective cohort study among employees at a large metropolitan hospital where a nosocomial outbreak of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) had occurred. We compared the risk of tuberculin skin test (TST) conversion among employees who worked on wards where patients with culture-confirmed TB were cared for ("exposed") with the risk among employees who worked on wards with no such patients ("unexposed"). Exposed employees had a higher 4-year risk of TST conversion (14.5%) than unexposed employees (1.4%) (adjusted relative risk 13.4; 95 percent confidence interval 5.1-35.2). Exposed employees had significantly higher risks of conversion than unexposed employees during 1989-91, but not for 1992. Among the exposed, ward clerks had a risk of conversion (15.6%) only slightly lower than nurses (18.2%). We conclude that employees who worked in areas where patients with active M. tuberculosis infection were cared for, including workers who did not provide direct patient care, had a higher risk of TST conversion than employees who did not work in these areas. Reasons for the decline in risk over time include outbreak termination, fewer admissions of patients with TB, implementation of effective infection control measures, and possible resistance to infection in some members of the study population.

AN - 79360872; 9347907 AB - Although rodenticides historically have been among the most toxic substances available to the public and have been implicated as agents in both unintentional and suicidal exposures, the anticoagulant agents currently in use, such as coumadin and their long-acting derivatives (e.g., brodifacoum), are relatively safe. In 1995, most persons who reported exposure to anticoagulant rodenticides did not develop symptoms or require specific therapy. However, during 1994-1997, the New York City Poison Control Center (NYCPCC) was consulted about 25 patients, primarily persons who had emigrated from the Dominican Republic, who had manifestations consistent with the cholinergic toxidrome, which is not characteristic of poisoning by the anticoagulant rodenticides, after ingesting a rodenticide known as Tres Pasitos ("Three Little Steps"). In each case, the product had been purchased at a neighborhood store for use as a household rodenticide. The Environmental Investigation Unit of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYDEC) investigated the poisoning incidents. Laboratory analysis indicated that the product contained the carbamate pesticide aldicarb (2-methyl-2-(methylthio)-propionaldehyde O-(methylcarbamoyl) oxime), which is not registered for use as a rodenticide in the United States. This report presents a detailed description of two of these cases and a summary of the remaining cases. JF - MMWR.

AN - 79341751; 9338455 AB - Group A Streptococcus (GAS) causes common childhood diseases such as streptococcal pharyngitis and impetigo and can cause severe, life-threatening invasive disease including streptococcal toxic-shock syndrome and necrotizing fasciitis. Invasive GAS disease occurs when GAS infects a normally sterile site. Clusters of invasive GAS infection previously had not been reported among children in school or childcare centers (CCCs). However, on February 13, 1997, the Boston Public Health Commission received reports of cases of concurrent invasive GAS and varicella infection among two of 14 children in the same CCC classroom. Because of the potential for further spread of invasive disease, the Boston Public Health Commission initiated an investigation of these cases. This report describes the findings of the investigation, including risk factors for infection, and recommended prevention measures. The findings indicate the potential for widespread GAS infection and carriage in CCCs and suggest that, in this outbreak, antecedent use of varicella vaccine would have prevented cases of invasive GAS.

AN - 79589865; 9553998 AB - Uncontrolled hazardous-waste sites are a major environmental and public health concern in the United States and elsewhere. The remediation of and public health responses to these sites is mandated by the federal Superfund statute. Approximately 40,000 uncontrolled waste sites have been reported to U.S. federal agencies. About 1,300 of these sites constitute the current National Priorities List (NPL) of sites for remediation. Findings from a national database on NPL sites show approximately 40% present completed exposure pathways, although this figure rose to 80% in 1996. Data from 1992 through 1996 indicate that 46% of sites are a hazard to public health. Thirty substances are found at 6% or more of sites with completed pathways. Eighteen of the substances are known human carcinogens or reasonably anticipated to be carcinogenic. Many of the 30 substances also possess systemic toxicity. The high percentage of sites with completed exposure pathways and the toxicity potential of substances in these pathways show that uncontrolled hazardous-waste sites are a major environmental threat to human health. Findings from the United States' experience in responding to uncontrolled waste sites are relevant to other countries as they address similar environmental and public health concerns.

AN - 79313711; 9317005 AB - The ability of naturally infected and cured mice to resist reinfection with tick-transmitted Borrelia burgdorferi was tested over a 1-year period. All of the mice were resistant to reinfection when they were challenged at 1.5 months after cure. The majority of animals were resistant to reinfection for up to 10.5 months after cure, but this resistance was lost at 1 year after cure. Both protected and unprotected animals showed a diverse array of antibodies on Western immunoblots. Protection was not associated with the killing of spirochetes in ticks, and naturally infected mice produced no antibodies to outer surface protein A (OSP A). The titers to whole Borrelia sonicate and OSP C, however, remained high throughout the 1-year study period. The levels of borreliacidal antibodies were highest in the 1.5 month-after-cure group. Natural immunity to reinfection with B. burgdorferi is limited in time, is complex, and may involve both humoral and cellular components.

AN - 79208723; 9258390 AB - Investigators must often rely on self-reported work history information collected with questionnaires. However, little is known about the agreement between self-reported estimates of exposure and records kept by companies. As part of a cross-sectional medical study of structural fumigation workers, self-reported work history information was collected on both duration and frequency of exposure using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. All company records available on these workers were also collected. Only 15 of 81 structural fumigation companies identified by study participants as current or past structural fumigation employers had records suitable for comparison. These 15 companies employed 32 of the workers who participated in the cross-sectional medical study. The exposure information provided by the 32 workers was compared to information obtained from company records. By examining the agreement between these two data sources, potential limitations were identified in both the self-reported and company-recorded exposure data. By recognizing these limitations in the exposure data, we identified the most appropriate exposure measures to be used in subsequent data analyses. This exercise also demonstrated the difficulties in undertaking these exposure comparisons in an industry consisting of many small, independent companies. Similar difficulties with assessing exposures may be experienced by investigators studying other service industries consisting of many small, independent companies (e.g., dry cleaning, auto repair).

AN - 79292896; 9302223 AB - Agriculture has one of the highest occupational fatality rates of all industries in the United States (1). Tractors and other types of agricultural equipment account for a large proportion of these fatalities, and farm-tractor rollovers account for approximately 130 work-related deaths each year in the United States (2). Although rollover protective structures (ROPS) are effective in protecting tractor operators from fatal injuries during rollovers (3-5), most tractors in the United States are not equipped with ROPS (4-7). Beginning in 1985, tractor manufacturers in the United Sates agreed to sell only tractors with ROPS; however, many older tractors without ROPS remain in use. To determine the prevalence of the use of ROPS, beginning in 1992, the Farm Family Health and Hazard Surveillance (FFHHS) program collected state-based data on tractor age and use of ROPS from selected states. As of August 1997, four states had completed collection and analysis of data on farm tractors. This report summarizes the results of that survey, which indicates that 80%-90% of tractors in use in the four states were manufactured before 1985 and that <40% are equipped with ROPS. JF - MMWR.

AN - 79459198; 9400745 AB - Fracturing quartz produces silica-based radicals on the fracture planes and generates hydroxyl radicals (.OH) in aqueous media. .OH production has been shown to be directly associated with quartz-induced cell damage and phagocyte activation in vitro. This .OH production in vitro is inhibited by desferrioxamine mesylate, an Fe chelator, indicating involvement of a Fenton-like reaction. Our objective was to determine if Fe contamination increased the ability of inhaled quartz to cause inflammation and lung injury. Male Fischer 344 rats were exposed 5 hr/day for 10 days to filtered air, 20 mg/m3 freshly milled quartz (57 ppm Fe), or 20 mg/m3 freshly milled quartz contaminated with Fe (430 ppm Fe). High Fe contamination of quartz produced approximately 57% more reactive species in water than quartz with low Fe contamination. Compared to inhalation of quartz with low Fe contamination, high Fe contamination of quartz resulted in increases in the following responses: leukocyte recruitment (537%), lavageable red blood cells (157%), macrophage production of oxygen radicals measured by electron spin resonance or chemiluminescence (32 or 90%, respectively), nitric oxide production by macrophages (71%), and lipid peroxidation of lung tissue (38%). These results suggest that inhalation of freshly fractured quartz contaminated with trace levels of Fe may be more pathogenic than inhalation of quartz alone.

AN - 79319608; 9323392 AB - To determine the extent and confirm the cause of an August 1993 outbreak of acute fluoride poisoning in a small Mississippi community, thought to result from excess fluoride in the public water supply. State health department investigators interviewed patrons of a restaurant where the outbreak first became manifest and obtained blood and urine samples for measurement of fluoride levels. State health department staff conducted a random sample telephone survey of community households. Public health environmentalists obtained water and ice samples from the restaurant and tap water samples from a household close to one of the town's water treatment plant for analysis. Health department investigators and town water department officials inspected the fluoridation system at the town's main water treatment plant. Thirty-four of 62 restaurant patrons reported acute gastrointestinal illness over a 24-hour period. Twenty of 61 households that used the community water supply reported one or more residents with acute gastrointestinal illness over a four-day period, compared with 3 of 13 households that did not use the community water supply. Restaurant water and ice samples contained more than 40 milligrams of fluoride per liter (mg/L), more than 20 times the recommended limit, and a tap water sample from a house located near the main treatment plant contained 200 mg/l of fluoride. An investigation determined that a faulty feed pump at one of the town's two treatment plants had allowed saturated fluoride solution to siphon from the saturator tank into the ground reservoir and that a large bolus of this overfluoridated water had been pumped accidentally into the town system. Correct installation and regular inspection and maintenance of fluoridation systems are needed to prevent such incidents.

AN - 79138002; 9219657 AB - The goal of this study was to determine whether respiratory symptoms were associated with the lower concentrations of respirable coal mine dust that were required by the U.S. Coal Mine Health and Safety Act (CMHSA) of 1969. The subjects were 1,866 male miners who had participated in the National Study of Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis (NSCWP) and been tested at least twice, initially in either Round 1 (R1) (1969-71) or Round 2 (R2) (1972-75) and then finally in Round 4 (R4) (1985-88). Self-reported information elicited with a standardized questionnaire was used to determine the presence at the final round (i.e., R4) of chronic bronchitis, shortness of breath, and wheeze. Cumulative coal mine dust exposure was characterized for both the pre- and post-CMHSA periods. Controlling for age and other potential confounders, increased risks for the symptoms were associated with higher levels of both measurements of exposure. Moreover, the adverse effects of the lower, post-CMHSA exposure were evident for shortness of breath and wheeze especially among subjects who had little pre-CMHSA coal mining experience. These findings provide additional evidence of the limitations of the current 2.0 mg/m3 coal mine dust standard to prevent respiratory disease.

While fitness costs have been demonstrated for bacteria and viruses resistant to some chemotherapeutic agents, these costs are anticipated to decline during subsequent evolution. This has recently been observed in pathogens as diverse as HIV and Escherichia coli. Here we present evidence that these genetic adaptations to the costs of resistance can virtually preclude resistant lineages from reverting to sensitivity. We show that second site mutations which compensate for the substantial (14 and 18% per generation) fitness costs of streptomycin resistant (rpsL) mutations in E. coli create a genetic background in which streptomycin sensitive, rpsL super(+) alleles have a 4-30% per generation selective disadvantage relative to adapted, resistant strains. We also present evidence that similar compensatory mutations have been fixed in long-term streptomycin-resistant laboratory strains of E. coli and may account for the persistence of rpsL streptomycin resistance in populations maintained for more than 10 000 generations in the absence of the antibiotic. We discuss the public health implications of these and other experimental results that question whether the more prudent use of antimicrobial chemotherapy will lead to declines in the incidence of drug-resistant pathogenic microbes.

AN - 79309610; 9328582 AB - Cytokines are produced and function at a micro environmental level: intracellular assessment has only recently become practically feasible. We used 3-color flow cytometry to examine surface and cytoplasmic antigens on peripheral blood lymphocytes of 18 normal donors, assessing the applicability/comparability of various directly conjugated anti-human cytokine reagents and stimulation protocols using separated cells or whole blood preparations. Interdonor variability far exceeded variability due to reagent or stimulation and separation techniques. Based on all results with various reagents, post 4-5.5 h stimulation with PHA/PMA/ionomycin, the range of the percents of T lymphocytes producing various cytokines included: gamma-IFN-13.2-65.0%, IL-2-10.0-56.7%, and TNF-alpha-17.1-79.2%. Compared to CD8+ cells, CD4+ cells more often expressed IL-2 (mean 45.7% of CD4 + vs. 21.4% of CD8+ p < 0.0001), less often expressed gamma-IFN (18.5% vs. 55.3%, p < 0.0001), and did not differ in TNF-alpha expression (52.9% vs. 59.4%). Of T cells producing gamma-IFN, 64.8-100.0% also produced TNF-alpha 3.5-100.0%, IL-2. Of T cells producing IL-2, 6.0-63.9% also produced gamma-IFN and 37.6-100.0%, TNF-alpha. These results demonstrate the broad spectrum of cytokine patterns in normal human adults, as well as the usefulness and limitations of various currently available cytokine products.

AN - 79216621; 9259989 AB - We determined the concentration of dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p'-DDE) in dried-blood spot specimens from 2-day-old infants from rural Texas who had never been breast fed. Anonymous, residual whole blood spots on filter paper, previously used for routine newborn screening procedures, were soaked in a phosphate buffer, extracted with an organic solvent, and eluted through silica gel. The concentrated eluates were analyzed by capillary gas chromatography with electron capture detection (ECD). The blood collected from 10 newborns was analyzed and found to contain DDE concentrations ranging from 0.13 to 1.87 pg/microliter with a mean of 0.72 pg/microliter. One of the 10 newborns had a whole blood DDE concentration of 1.87 pg/microliter, which was greater than the concentration of 1.34 pg/microliter in a freshly drawn sample from an adult donor whose blood serum was shown to contain DDE. With improvement in detection limits, this approach has the potential to displace the analyses of mothers' blood (as a surrogate indicator of infants' exposures) and cord blood as standard procedures for determining the newborns' body burden of environmental pollutants.

The highest rates were in mining, agriculture, and construction. Compared with younger workers, older men were at an elevated risk for fatalities caused by machines, and older women for fatal falls and homicide. Prevention efforts should focus on older workers in agricultural settings, as well as those at increased risk of workplace falls or violence.

Rabbit antibodies raised against purified flagella of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 recognized a total of 24 of 30 laboratory-maintained isolates of L. pneumophila serogroups 1-15 and 16 of 24 other Legionella species tested by rapid immunoblot and indirect immunofluorescence assay. All isolates possessing flagella detectable with these anti-flagella antibodies, regardless of species, were capable of infecting Hartmannella vermiformis. Isolates lacking immunologic cross-reactivity were shown to lack purifiable flagella. The majority of aflagellate isolates were not motile and failed to multiply intracellularly in co-culture with Hartmannella vermiformis. Some isolates characterized as aflagellate when harvested from BCYE agar were able to multiply in amoebae, and flagella were subsequently detectable by immunologic methods. These data suggest that lack of immunologic recognition of flagella in laboratory-maintained isolates of Legionella is due to their attenuation and a corresponding loss of expression of flagella. More importantly, the presence of flagella can serve as a positive predictive marker for strain virulence and is useful in determining the virulence status of Legionella isolates.

There has been heightened interest in this subject recently due to the finding that high-elevation tropical glaciers have been retreating and that significant melting from even the highest alpine regions has occurred in some areas during the past 20 years or so, as recorded in ice core records, which do not reveal any similar period during previous centuries to millennia. In this paper we find evidence for appreciable differences in mean temperature changes with elevation during the last several decades of instrumental records. The signal appears to be more closely related to increases in daily minimum temperature than changes in the daily maximum. The changes in surface temperature vary spatially, with Europe (particularly western Europe), and parts of Asia displaying the strongest high altitude warming during the period of record. High-elevation climate records of long standing taken at a number of mountain tops throughout the world, but primarily in Europe, are available from a number of countries. In some cases, meteorological observations at these unique mountain sites have been discontinued for a variety of reasons, usually budgetary. It is hoped that the papers published in this special issue of Climatic Change can contribute to a reassessment of the value of continuing climate measurements at these mountain observatories by the appropriate entities, so that we may continue to have access to climate information from the 'tops of the world'.

AN - 79157853; 9233552 AB - CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance (ABLES) program monitors laboratory-reported elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) among adults in the United States. Data for New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Wyoming are included for the first time in this report, increasing the number of reporting states to 27 (Illinois discontinued reporting at the end of 1996). Twenty-five states reported surveillance data to the ABLES program in 1996. This report presents ABLES data for the first quarter of 1997 compared with the first quarter of 1996 and annual data for 1996 compared with 1995. The findings from 1995 and 1996 indicate a continuing decrease in the annual number of persons reported with elevated BLLs, although the number of reports in the first quarter of 1997 were higher than that for the same period in 1996.

AN - 79128185; 9221329 AB - Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic liver disease in the United States and worldwide. At least 85% of persons with HCV infection become chronically infected, and chronic liver disease with persistently elevated liver enzymes develops in approximately 70% of all HCV-infected persons. Persons with chronic hepatitis C are at risk for cirrhosis and primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Most HCV transmission is associated with direct percutaneous exposure to blood. Health-care workers (HCWs) are at occupational risk for acquiring this viral infection. However, no vaccine is available to prevent hepatitis C, and immune globulin is not recommended for postexposure prophylaxis. JF - MMWR.

Recently described pathogens, such as Escherichia coli O157:H7 and the epidemic strain of Salmonella serotype Typhimurium Definitive Type 104 (which is resistant to at least five antimicrobial drugs), have become important public health problems. Well-recognized pathogens, such as Salmonella serotype Enteritidis, have increased in prevalence or become associated with new vehicles. Emergence in foodborne diseases is driven by the same forces as emergence in other infectious diseases: changes in demographic characteristics, human behavior, industry, and technology; the shift toward a global economy; microbial adaptation; and the breakdown in the public health infrastructure. Addressing emerging foodborne diseases will require more sensitive and rapid surveillance, enhanced methods of laboratory identification and subtyping, and effective prevention and control.

AN - 79184654; 9249931 AB - The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the public health implications of exposure via breast milk to cadmium, lead, and mercury for nursing infants and to provide health-based guidance. Daily intakes were calculated and compared with guidance values used for public health assessments at hazardous waste sites. Cadmium, lead, and mercury under normal conditions are found in breast milk at concentration ranges of < 1 microgram/L, 2-5 micrograms/L, and 1.4-1.7 micrograms/L, respectively. Women exposed environmentally or occupationally can have higher levels in their breast milk. Concentrations of about 5 micrograms/L (cadmium), 20 micrograms/L (lead), and 3.5 micrograms/L (mercury) appear to be adequate screening levels. Many factors affect both the distribution of cadmium, lead, and mercury in breast milk and the health consequences to an infant. It is not clear what additional impact low-level exposure via breast milk may have on an infant born with a body burden to one of these metals. There is sufficient evidence to make the case that contaminated breast milk is a source of potential risk to infants in certain populations. Prevention strategies that include behavior modification and proper nutrition should be communicated to women at risk. Identification and elimination of exposure pathways and a critical analysis of the benefits of breast feeding versus heavy metal exposure are needed on a site-specific or individual basis. Research is required to better understand the impact of low-level exposure to heavy metals via breast milk. Breastfeeding should be encouraged under most circumstances.

AN - 79172310; 9246591 AB - Interest in ambient exposures to silica has prompted an evaluation of the applicability of the industrial hygiene sampling and analysis experience. Exposure to excessive levels of silica in the workplace has long been recognized as a risk factor for the development of a variety of disabling and sometimes fatal lung diseases. Initial efforts to control occupational exposure to dust were based on reducing exposures as measured by particle-counting techniques. Because silicosis, the disease resulting from exposure to silica, occurs in the lower airways, which can be reached only by small "respirable dust" particles, size selective sampling procedures were introduced for dust monitoring. The analysis of silica in collected dust samples also has undergone development. Initial methods used involved acid digestion of soluble silicates, with subsequent chemical analysis of the insoluble "free silica" fraction. Current methodology relies on the use of X-ray diffraction and infrared technologies to quantify these materials. However, these methods are sensitive to the particle size distribution of the samples. Standard reference materials (SRMs) have been developed for use with respirable size dust samples. Ambient particulate matter is now measured using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sampling methods for particulate matter < or = 10 microns, which approximate the collection efficiency for thoracic fraction samplers. Because the existing calibration SRMs were produced for the measurement of occupational crystalline silica, the need to develop appropriate standards and methods for ambient silica measurements should be evaluated.

AN - 79113396; 9215507 AB - To compare the chronic disease health risk behavior patterns of adolescents and adults among American Indians living on or near reservations in Montana. We analyzed data from the 1993 Youth Risk Behavior Survey of American Indians in Grades 9-12 living on or near Montana reservations. Risk factors included tobacco use, low physical activity, attempted weight loss, and low consumption of fruits, vegetables, and green salad. Similar data were analyzed from a 1994 Behavioral Risk Factor Survey of American Indian adults living on or near reservations in Montana. The prevalence of most adolescent health risk behaviors was high, especially cigarette smoking (45% for males, 57% for females), smokeless tobacco use (44% for males, 30% for females), and infrequent consumption of salad or vegetables (59-76%). With the exception of daily cigarette smoking and inadequate fruit consumption among adolescents of both genders and physical inactivity among adolescent males, the prevalence of chronic disease health risk behaviors among adolescents was similar to or higher than the prevalence of the same risk behaviors among adults. Many health risk behaviors for chronic diseases are common by the time this group of American Indians in Montana has reached adolescence. Possible reasons may include modeling of familial behaviors, peer pressure, advertising, or age cohort effects. If these risk behavior patterns continue into adulthood, morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases are likely to remain high.

AN - 78983252; 9131211 AB - The National Traumatic Occupational Fatalities (NTOF) surveillance system identified machinery-related incidents as the fourth leading cause of traumatic occupational fatalities in the U.S. construction industry between 1980 and 1992, resulting in 1,901 deaths and 2.13 deaths per 100,000 workers. Fatality rates declined 50% over the study period. Workers in three occupation divisions-precision production, craft, and repair; transportation and material moving; and handlers, equipment cleaners, helpers, and laborers-had both the highest frequency and rate of fatalities. Cranes, excavating machinery, and tractors were the machines most frequently involved. The most common incident types were: struck by a mobile machine; overturn; and struck by a boom. Further delineation of groups at highest risk for machinery-related injuries is complicated by a lack of data on exposure to machinery. The findings suggest that injury prevention programs should focus not only on machine operators, but on those who work on foot around machines.

To find the outbreak source, exposures of 17 case patients were compared to those of 33 matched controls. Case patients were more likely than controls to have visited a section of downtown (area A) during the 2 weeks before illness (11 [65%] versus 9 [27%]; matched odds ratio, 6.5; P = 0.01). Water samples were cultured from 27 aerosol-producing devices within area A. Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 isolates underwent monoclonal antibody (MAb) subtyping and arbitrarily primed PCR (AP-PCR). All four L. pneumophila serogroup 1 isolates available from case patients who visited area A had identical MAb and AP-PCR patterns. Among 14 environmental isolates, 5 had MAb patterns that matched the case patient isolates, but only 1 had a matching AP-PCR pattern. This investigation implicates a cooling tower in area A as the outbreak source and illustrates the usefulness of AP-PCR for identifying sources of LD outbreaks.

AN - 79105004; 9221326 AB - As of December 1996, approximately one third (36%) of the 573,000 cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) among adults reported to CDC were directly or indirectly associated with injecting-drug use. Syringe-exchange programs (SEPs) are one of the strategies for preventing infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among injecting-drug users (IDUs). The goal of SEPs is to reduce the transmission of HIV and other bloodborne infections associated with drug injection by providing sterile syringes in exchange for used, potentially contaminated syringes. This report summarizes a survey of U.S. SEPs regarding their activities during 1995 and 1996 and compares the findings with those during 1994 and early 1995. The findings indicate continued expansion in the number and activities of SEPs in the United States. JF - MMWR.

AN - 79061563; 9191032 AB - Since April 1997, CDC has received reports of outbreaks of cyclosporiasis in the United States and Canada (1,2). As of June 11, there have been 21 clusters of cases of cyclosporiasis reported from eight states (California, Florida, Maryland, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, and Texas) and one province in Canada (Ontario). These clusters were associated with events (e.g., receptions, banquets, or time-place-related exposures [meals in the same restaurant on the same day]) that occurred during March 19-May 25 and comprise approximately 140 laboratory-confirmed and 370 clinically defined cases of cyclosporiasis. In addition, four laboratory-confirmed and approximately 220 clinically defined cases have been reported among persons who, during March 29-April 5, were on a cruise ship that departed from Florida. Approximately 70 laboratory-confirmed sporadic cases (i.e., cases not associated with events, the cruise, or recent overseas travel) have been reported in the United States and Canada. The most recent laboratory-confirmed sporadic case occurred in a person who had onset of symptoms on June 3. JF - MMWR.

AN - 79160384; 9241398 AB - In an earlier review of the behavioral effects of HIV counseling and testing (HIV CT), Higgins and colleagues (1991) found that the evidence regarding the ability of HIV CT to influence HIV-risk related practices was largely inconclusive. This article reviews 35 domestic and international studies published since that time to reassess the scientific data regarding the ability of HIV CT to motivate changes in risk-related practices and to promote help-seeking behavior. The studies identified for this review were grouped into four categories according to subject population: (1) men who have sex with men, (2) injection and other drug users, (3) women and heterosexual couples, and (4) mixed samples recruited from sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics and other settings. Findings from the studies reviewed were generally mixed--many provided at least some evidence supporting the ability of HIV CT to motivate risk-reducing and help-seeking behavior, but others did not. The pattern of results varied substantially across, and within, study populations and were often limited by considerable methodological weaknesses.

We developed a method to identify HAV RNA by RT-PCR of total RNA extracted from oyster meat contaminated by adsorption, bioaccumulation, or injection. With dot blot hybridization detection of amplicons from the RT-PCR, rapid screening of a large number of samples is feasible. As few as 8 PFU of HAV/g of oyster meat can be detected.

AN - 79031717; 9168861 AB - The presence of oral smokeless tobacco lesions among adolescents may be an early indicator of increased risk for oral cancers. Data from the 1986-1987 National Survey of Oral Health in US School Children were used to examine the cross-sectional relationship between the use of tobacco and alcohol and the presence of white or whitish oral soft-tissue lesions. The sample included 17,027 schoolchildren (aged 12 to 17 years) who provided information on the use of snuff, chewing tobacco, cigarettes, and alcohol and who received oral clinical examinations. Smokeless tobacco lesions were detected in 1.5% of students (projects to about 300,000 nationally), including 2.9% of males and 0.1% of females. These lesions were more prevalent among whites (2.0%) than among African-Americans (0.2%) or Hispanics (0.8%). Modeling with multivariate logistic regression revealed that, among white males, current snuff use was the strongest correlate of lesions [odds ratio (OR) = 18.4; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 8.5-39.8], followed by current chewing tobacco use [OR = 2.5; 95% CI = 1.3-5.0]. Lesions were strongly associated with duration, monthly frequency, and daily minutes of use of snuff and chewing tobacco. These data suggest that snuff may be a stronger risk factor than chewing tobacco for smokeless tobacco lesions, but the use of either of these forms of oral tobacco exhibits a dose-response relationship with the occurrence of lesions. We found little evidence that the use of alcohol or cigarettes may increase the risk of smokeless tobacco lesions. Preventing smokeless tobacco lesions and their possible malignant transformation may be best accomplished among adolescents by preventing the use of snuff and chewing tobacco.

Patients with isolates having similar IS6110 patterns had medical records reviewed and were interviewed to identify epidemiologic links. Complete RFLP analyses were obtained for isolates of 235 patients; 78 (33%) matched the pattern of greater than or equal to 1 other isolate, forming 24 clusters. Epidemiologic connections were found for 33 (42%) of 78 patients in 11 clusters. Transmission of M. tuberculosis likely occurred many years in the past for 5 patients in 2 clusters. Of clusters based only on IS6110 analyses, those with greater than or equal to 6 IS6110 copies had both a significantly greater proportion of isolates that matched by pTBN12 analysis and patients with epidemiologic connections, indicating IS6110 patterns with few bands lack strain specificity. Secondary RFLP analysis increased specificity, but most clustered patients still did not appear to be epidemiologically related. RFLP clustering in rural areas may not represent recent transmission.

Such attacks have prompted widespread review of existing local and state dangerous-dog laws, including proposals for adoption of breed-specific restrictions to prevent such episodes. To further characterize this problem and the involvement of specific breeds, CDC analyzed data from the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and media accounts in the NEXIS database. This report presents three recent cases of dog-bite-related fatalities (DBRFs), summarizes characteristics of such deaths during 1995-1996, and provides breed-specific data for DBRFs during 1979-1996.

AN - 79093186; 9200139 AB - Paternal exposures to exogenous agents have been reported to produce a variety of developmental defects in the offspring. In experimental animals, these effects include decreased litter size and weight, increased stillbirth and neonatal death, birth defects, tumors, and functional/behavioral abnormalities-some of these effects being transmitted to the second and third generations. The majority of experimental studies assessing nervous system function of offspring following paternal exposures have utilized rats as the experimental animal, but other species can be used. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has initiated studies to validate the rabbit as an animal model for human reproductive toxicity, because rabbits are the smallest laboratory animal from which ejaculates can be collected repeatedly. An important part of reproductive toxicology is assessment of the reproductive ability of males following exposure, as well as developmental and functional assessment of their offspring. This article describes a pilot study and a main study to investigate the feasibility of using rabbits to assess the functional effects of paternal exposure to lead. The pilot study included seven male rabbits per group exposed for 15 weeks to lead acetate sufficient to produce 0, 50, or 110 micrograms/dl blood lead. The main study included 15 male rabbits per group exposed for 15 weeks to lead acetate to produce 0, 20, 40, and 80 micrograms/dl blood lead. At the conclusion of the exposure, male rabbits were mated with unexposed females. These females carried their litters to term, delivered, and reared their own offspring. The offspring were weighed at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and some at 35 days of age. They were also tested for exploratory activity in a standard figure-eight "maze" for 30 min/day on days 15, 20, 25, and 30. A second assessment of exploratory behavior, along with a simple test of aversive conditioning, was attempted in the pilot study, but was judged not to be suitable for the main study. Of the 21 male rabbits that were mated in the pilot study, 16 produced viable litters (6/7, 6/7, and 4/7 in control, low- and high-lead groups, respectively), with a mean number of 6 live births/litter in each treatment group (range 2-8). Of the 60 rabbits mated in the main study, 57 produced litters, and two rabbits died giving birth. Significant postnatal deaths were observed in all groups, with about one half of the offspring dying before testing was initiated at day 15.

The states' challenge. AN - 79009654; 9160053 AB - At the national level, asthma is increasingly being recognized as an important public health problem. Because of the significant role of environmental exposure in asthma morbidity, public health agencies have a critical role to play in the surveillance and prevention of the disease. In April 1996, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, with assistance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, surveyed state and territorial public health departments to determine the status of their asthma surveillance and intervention programs. Of the 51 health departments that responded, only eight reported that they had implemented an asthma control program within the previous 10 years. Reasons cited for not having programs included lack of funds, shortage of personnel, and asthma not being a priority. Most states were unable to assess the burden of asthma because they lack data or face barriers to using existing data. Removing barriers to the use of data is a first step toward defining the scope of the asthma problem.

As of June 1996, 51 documented cases and 108 possible cases of occupationally acquired HIV infection in HCWs in the United States had been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The frequency of blood exposure among HCWs varies according to occupation, procedures performed, and use of preventive measures. Based on limited data, it has been estimated that approximately 500,000 percutaneous blood exposures may occur annually among hospital-based HCWs in the United States. Of these, approximately 5,000 may involve exposures to blood that is known to be HIV infected. The average risk of HIV transmission after percutaneous exposure to HIV-infected blood is approximately 0.3%; however, the risk is believed to be higher for exposures involving an increased volume of blood and/or high viral load.

Environmental measurements are an excellent means for evaluating regulatory compliance, but the models used to estimate body burden from these measurements are complex. Unless all possible routes of exposure (i.e., inhalation, dermal absorption, ingestion) are evaluated, exposure to a toxicant can be underestimated. To circumvent this problem, measurements of the internal dose of a toxicant in blood, serum, urine, or tissues can be used singularly or in combination with environmental data for exposure assessment. In three separate laboratories, carbaryl or its primary metabolite, 1-naphthol, was measured in personal air, dermal samples, blood serum, and urine from farmer applicators and their families. The usefulness of both environmental and biological data has been demonstrated. For the farmer applicator, the environmental levels of carbaryl would have been sufficient to determine that an exposure had occurred. However, biological measurements were necessary to determine the absorbed dose of each member of the applicator's family. In addition, a correlation between serum and urinary 1-naphthol measurements has been shown; therefore, either matrix can be used to accurately evaluate occupational carbaryl exposure.

AN - 79002940; 9148136 AB - Moderate to heavy alcohol use by women during pregnancy has been associated with many severe adverse effects in their children, including fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS)--with facial dysmorphology, growth retardation, and central nervous system deficits--and other neurodevelopmental effects. Early prenatal alcohol exposure can occur unintentionally (i.e., before a woman knows she is pregnant); in addition, women who drink at high levels before pregnancy are at increased risk for drinking during pregnancy. Ongoing surveillance for alcohol consumption among pregnant and childbearing-aged women is important for monitoring the impact of efforts to prevent this risk behavior. This report analyzes and compares data from the 1995 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and previously reported 1991 BRFSS data for women aged 18-44 years, and presents the prevalence of alcohol consumption among pregnant women and overall and state-specific prevalence rates among women of childbearing age. The findings indicate a substantial increase in alcohol use among pregnant women from 1991 to 1995. JF - MMWR.

A new method for assessing incidence among epidemiologic cohorts. AN - 78942116; 9103346 AB - To examine the association between silica exposure and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Retrospective cohort study. A cohort of 2412 white male gold miners was studied. Eligible gold miners worked underground for at least 1 year between 1940 and 1965 in a South Dakota gold mine and were alive on January 1,1977. Of primary interest was exposure to silica. The ESRD Program Management and Medical Information System (PMMIS) was used to identify members of the gold mine cohort who had treated ESRD and to create a US rate file for treated ESRD. The ESRD incidence among the gold miners was compared with that in the US population. Based on the 11 cohort members identified with treated ESRD, the risk for ESRD in the cohort was elevated (standardized incidence ratio [SIR], 1.37; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.68-2.46). The risk was greatest for nonsystemic ESRD (ESRD caused by glomerulonephritis or interstitial nephritis) for which the SIR was 4.22 (95% CI, 1.54-9.19), increasing to 7.70 (95% CI, 1.59-22.48) among workers with 10 or more years of employment underground. To our knowledge this is the first epidemiologic study to examine ESRD incidence in an occupational cohort. This study provides evidence that silica exposure is associated with an increased risk for ESRD, especially ESRD caused by glomerulonephritis. This study also demonstrates the usefulness of the ESRD PMMIS to assess ESRD risk among cohorts exposed to potential nephrotoxins.

AN - 78923098; 9121422 AB - In March 1997, a total of 153 cases of hepatitis A were reported in Calhoun County, Michigan (1990 population: 136,000); 151 case-patients have been students or staff of schools in four different school districts. Investigation by public health officials has not implicated a single event, foodhandler or contaminated water as a source for the outbreak. However, most case-patients ate lunch in schools, and preliminary analysis of both a case-control and cohort study conducted in two different school districts established a strong association between illness and consumption of food items containing frozen strawberries. This report presents the preliminary findings of the ongoing outbreak investigation. JF - MMWR.

The role of alcohol in fatal injuries. AN - 78919318; 9091695 AB - To describe the characteristics of persons killed by trains while trespassing (ie, using railroad property for activities unrelated to railroad operations). Case series obtained from records of the state medical examiner. North Carolina, 1990 through 1994. One hundred twenty-eight persons ranging in age from 7 to 84 years who were killed in 125 separate incidents. Of 224 railroad-related deaths during the study period, 128 cases (57%) involved trespassers. Trespasser fatalities typically involved unmarried male pedestrians 20 to 49 years of age with less than a high school education. Eighty-two percent of incidents occurred in the trespassers' county of residence, indicating that few deaths involved transients. Fatalities among railroad trespassers exhibited both geographic and temporal clustering. Seventy-eight percent of trespassers were killed while intoxicated (median alcohol level, 56 mmol/L [260 mg/dL]). Deaths among trespassers are the leading cause of railroad-related mortality in North Carolina. Greater efforts are needed to reduce this type of preventable injury. Prevention of trespasser fatalities is dependent on control of alcohol abuse, enforcement of existing laws, and education of the public regarding the dangers of railroad trespassing.

Further, analysis of secondary data reveals that diabetes & complications (eg, premature death, renal failure, & limb amputation) are substantially higher among Native Americans than the general US population. Potentially modifiable factors (eg, obesity, dietary composition, & physical inactivity) are thought to contribute to its frequency among Native Americans. Benefits from diabetes prevention is considerable & a population-based approach may be most effective in achieving sustainable lifestyle changes among Native Americans.

A survey of household members in Gideon and the surrounding township produced information on diarrheal illness, water consumption, and compliance with the boil water order. More than 650 persons were ill; 15 were hospitalized, and 7 died. Persons consuming city water were more likely to be ill (relative risk [RR] = 9.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.9, 28.4), and the attack rate increased with increased water consumption. S. typhimurium was recovered from samples taken from a city fire hydrant and a water storage tower. Persons in 31% (30/98) of city households had drunk unboiled water after being informed about the boil water order, including 14 individuals who subsequently became ill. Reasons for noncompliance included "not remembering" (44%) and "disbelieving" (25%) the order.

AN - 78913664; 9087688 AB - As an important strategy for addressing emerging infections in the United States, in 1994 CDC began implementing Emerging Infections Programs (EIPs) in state health departments, in collaboration with local health departments, academic institutions, and organizations of health professionals. EIPs are sites that conduct special population-based surveillance projects, emphasize collaborative epidemiologic and laboratory projects, and pilot and evaluate prevention efforts. The primary foodborne diseases component of the EIP is the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet)--a collaborative effort among CDC, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug Administration, and the EIP sites. The objectives of FoodNet are to 1) determine more precisely the burden of foodborne diseases in the United States, 2) determine the proportion of specific foodborne diseases associated with certain contaminated foods or with other exposures, and (3) provide the framework to respond rapidly and collaboratively to emerging foodborne diseases. This report summarizes preliminary results from FoodNet for 1996, which document regional and seasonal differences in the incidences of certain bacterial foodborne diseases, and presents findings of the 1995 baseline survey of clinical laboratories, which suggests that, for some pathogens, factors other than differing laboratory practices accounted for regional variations in incidences.

AN - 78918814; 9082178 AB - Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are effective antihypertensive drugs, but use of ACEIs during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy has been associated with a pattern of defects known as ACEI fetopathy. The predominant feature of the fetopathy is renal tubular dysplasia. Other associated conditions include hypocalvaria, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). These features may be related to fetal hypotension secondary to ACEI-induced decreases in fetal angiotensin or increased bradykinin. Although no adverse fetal effects have been linked to first trimester use of ACEIs, there has been no systematic evaluation of births to women with such exposures. To determine whether features of ACEI fetopathy occurred after first trimester exposure, in 1992 the Organization of Teratology Information Services (OTIS) in North America initiated the ACEI Registry; two members of the European Network of Teratology Information Services agreed to participate. This report presents findings from the ACEI Registry, which indicate that the infants of 66 women who self-reported first trimester only exposure to ACEI showed no evidence of renal tubular dysplasia.

To establish the local prevalence and distribution of childhood lead exposure and develop local blood lead screening recommendations, the Salt Lake City-County Health Department (SLCCHD) offered free blood lead screening to all children aged 12-36 months enrolled at the seven Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) clinics in Salt Lake County, Utah (1995 population: 812,000), during January-October 1995. This report presents findings of the screenings at WIC clinics, describes the design and promotion of local targeted screening recommendations, and describes the resulting increases in appropriate BLL screenings among children.

AN - 78923734; 10172940 AB - To identify what patients and providers perceive as barriers to prenatal care among women enrolled in a Medicaid managed care plan, focus group discussions of: 1) women, 13 to 45 years of age, enrolled in a Medicaid managed care plan and 2) providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and medical assistants) that serve this population were conducted at a location in the community by professional facilitators. Forty-two enrolled women and 22 providers participated. Based on an interpretive analysis of comments regarding perceived barriers towards receiving prenatal care by patients and providers, we found some perceived barriers that were similar for both groups. Both groups of respondents thought that problems with transportation, knowledge of TennCare, and substance abuse were barriers to receiving prenatal care. Providers mentioned lack of enrollee's education, need for child care, and limited hours of operation; and patients mentioned treatment by office personnel, lack of rapport with health providers and lack of recognition of pregnancy as additional barriers. Understanding both patient and provider perspectives of the barriers to receiving care is the first step towards meeting the needs of the target population. Health plans that serve the historically underserved population must take a specialized approach that adapts to the population's distinct needs.

AN - 78709797; 10728225 AB - To explore the patterns of prenatal smoking among women whose first and second pregnancies ended in live births. We used population-based data to explore prenatal smoking among 14,732 white and 8968 black Georgia residents whose first and second pregnancies ended in live births during 1989-1992. Smoking status was obtained from birth certificates linked for individual mothers. Because of demographic differences, we analyzed white and black women separately. Approximately 15% (2253) of white women and 4% (318) of black women smoked during their first pregnancy. Of those smokers, 69% (1551) of white women and 58% (184) of black women also smoked during their second pregnancy. For both white and black nonsmokers during the first pregnancy, low education was the most significant predictor of smoking during the second pregnancy, after adjusting for consistency of the father's name on the birth certificate, prenatal care, birth interval, mother's county of residence, and birth outcome. The prevalence of smoking in this study may be low because of underreporting of prenatal smoking on birth certificates. The majority of women who smoked during their first pregnancy also smoked during their second, suggesting that these women exposed their first infant to tobacco smoke both in utero and after delivery. Practitioners should offer smoking cessation programs to women during, as well as after, pregnancy. Pediatricians should educate parents on the health risks to young children of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and refer smoking parents to smoking cessation programs.

A microbial suspension test using inocula of 10 super(8) cells per mL in a disinfectant test dilution was used to determine inactivation kinetics of the test strains. In each test, 1-mL aliquots were removed from the cell-disinfectant mixtures at 15 and 30 seconds and then at 1-minute intervals for 5 minutes and neutralized. Appropriate serial dilutions were plated on agar medium for enumeration of survivors. VRE and VSE challenge inocula (in the absence of any additional protein or serum challenge) were below the limit of detection (5 colony-forming units/mL) after 15 seconds' exposure to the manufacturers' suggested use-dilutions of quaternary ammonium, phenolic, or iodophor germicidal detergents. In subsequent tests, when the disinfectants were diluted far beyond the recommended use-dilutions (extended dilution), no differences were demonstrated between the susceptibilities of VRE and VSE. VRE and VSE are sensitive to a spectrum of commonly used environmental disinfectants and have parallel inactivation rates when challenged with extended dilutions of these products. Our findings did not demonstrate a relationship between antibiotic and germicide resistance. Routine disinfection and housekeeping protocols presently used in hospitals need not be altered due to concerns about the potential for environmentally mediated transmission of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.

To assess the prevalence of high-risk behaviors for HIV infection, the acceptance of HIV counseling and testing, and HIV seropositivity in such populations in Colorado Spring, Colorado (1995 population: 465,885), the El Paso County Department of Health and Environment (EPCDHE) conducted a study during July-September 1995. This report summarizes the results of the study, which indicate that such presumably underserved persons are accessible, commonly report high-risk behaviors and previously have been tested for HIV infection and that social isolation, in part, accounted for the low seroprevalence of HIV in this study population.

AN - 78857347; 9072671 AB - Lead is an environmental toxicant that may deleteriously affect the nervous, hematopoietic, endocrine, renal, and reproductive systems. Lead exposure in young children is a particular hazard because children absorb lead more readily than do adults and because the developing nervous systems of children are more susceptible to the effects of lead. Blood lead levels (BLLs) at least as low as 10 micrograms/dL can adversely affect the behavior and development of children. CDC's National Health and Nutrition Examination surveys (NHANES), an ongoing series of national examinations of the health and nutritional status of the civilian noninstitutionalized population, have been the primary source for monitoring BLLs in the U.S. population. From NHANES II (conducted during 1976-1980) to Phase 1 of NHANES III (conducted during October 1988-September 1991), the geometric mean (GM) BLL for persons aged 1-74 years declined from 12.8 micrograms/dL, and the prevalence of elevated BLLs (BLLs > or = 10 micrograms/dL) decreased from 77.8% to 4.4%. This report updates national BLL estimated with data from Phase 2 of NHANES III (conducted during October 1991-September 1994), which indicate that BLLs in the U.S. population aged > or = 1 year continued to decrease and that BLLs among children aged 1-5 years were more likely to be elevated among those who were poor, non-Hispanic black, living in large metropolitan areas, or living in older housing.

AN - 78839601; 9045042 AB - Nonhuman primate (NHP) species used in biomedical research may be infected with a variety of retroviruses including simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), simian spumaviruses (i.e., simian foamy viruses [SPV]), simian T-lymphotrophic viruses (STLV), and/or simian type D retroviruses. All of these retroviruses cause life-long infections in NHPs, and some are transmissible through sexual contact, blood, or breast-feeding. Following the detection of SIV infection in a worker with occupational exposure to SIV, in 1993 CDC and the National Institutes of Health conducted an anonymous serosurvey using stored specimens collected from U.S. workers with similar exposures. SIV seroreactivity was present in three (0.6%) of 427 stored serum samples. As a result of this finding, in 1993 CDC implemented a voluntary testing and counseling surveillance program to link specific exposures or health outcomes with the SIV serostatus of persons with potential occupational exposure to SIV. In 1995, the linked surveillance program was expanded to include voluntary testing and counseling for exposure to SFV, STLV and simian type D retroviruses. As of November 20, 1996, samples from 231 of the participating volunteer workers had been tested for SFV; infection was documented in three (1.3%). This report presents laboratory findings and case descriptions of these three infections, which indicate that SFV from NHPs can persistently infect exposed humans and may or may not cause disease or be transmitted among humans.

AN - 78834993; 9045041 AB - During 1995, the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) received 7917 reports of potentially toxic exposures to tobacco products among children aged < or = 6 years in the United States. Most cases of nicotine poisoning among children result from their ingestion of cigarettes or cigars. Acute nicotine poisoning is characterized by rapid onset of symptoms that may be severe when large amounts have been ingested. During January 1994-July 1996, the Rhode Island Poison Control Center (RIPCC) received 146 reports of ingestion of products containing nicotine by children aged < or = 6 years. To characterize risk factors for and outcomes associated with ingestion of cigarettes and cigarette butts among children aged < or = 6 years, the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDH) analyzed data from the RIPCC and the 1996 Rhode Island Health Interview Survey (RIHIS). This report summarizes the findings of the study, which indicate that ingestion of cigarettes and cigarette butts by children aged < or = 6 years resulted in minor toxic effects and occurred more frequently in households where smoking was permitted in the presence of children and where cigarettes and cigarette wastes were accessible to children.

AN - 78945624; 9114284 AB - One of the challenges in environmental health is to attribute a certain health effect to a specific environmental exposure and to establish a cause-effect relationship. Molecular epidemiology offers a new approach to addressing these challenges. Mutations in the tumor suppressor gene p53 can shed light on past environmental exposure, and carcinogenic agents and doses can be distinguished on the basis of mutational spectra and frequency. Mutations in p53 have successfully been used to establish links between dietary aflatoxin exposure and liver cancer, exposure to ultraviolet light and skin cancer, smoking and cancers of the lung and bladder, and vinyl chloride exposure and liver cancer. In lung cancer, carcinogens from tobacco smoke have been shown to form adducts with DNA. The location of these adducts correlates with those positions in the p53 gene that are mutated in lung cancer, confirming a direct etiologic link between exposure and disease. Recent investigations have also explored the use of p53 as a susceptibility marker for cancer. Furthermore, studies in genetic toxicology have taken advantage of animals transgenic for p53 to screen for carcinogens in vivo. In this review, we summarize recent developments in p53 biomarker research and illustrate applications to environmental health.

Last updated - 2017-01-18 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The role of oxygen free radicals in occupational and environmental lung diseases. AN - 21262238; 11701781 AB - Oxygen free radicals and their metabolites, collectively described as reactive oxygen species (ROS), have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases. The pulmonary system is particularly vulnerable to ROS-induced injury because of its continuous exposure to toxic pollutants from a wide variety of sources in the ambient air. Additionally, lungs are exposed systemically to ROS generated from xenobiotic compounds and endogenous sources. This review describes the sources of endogenous and exogenous ROS generation in the lung. Special emphasis is given to major sources of ROS in occupational and environmental exposures to asbestos, crystalline silica, coal, chromium, herbicides, bleomycin, and cigarette smoke. ROS-induced lung injury at different target levels may contribute to similar patterns of cell injury and alterations at the molecular level by initiation, propagation, and autocatalytic chain reactions. Intracellular signalling, activation and inactivation of enzymes, stimulation, secretion, and release of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and nuclear factor activation and alterations are also common events. Understanding the interactions of these intricate mechanistic events is important in the prevention and amelioration of lung injury that results from acute and chronic exposures to toxins in ambient air.

This information will support an historical dose reconstruction for environmental exposures to radionuclides from this facility that is currently being done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a contract with Radiological Assessments Corporation. Available sources of data include (1) the U.S. Census, Ohio Township data; (2) the U.S. Census, Ohio Township block data; and (3) U.S. Geological Survey topographical maps that show structures. A distribution of age and sex is estimated that, together with population estimates, will provide information needed to estimate collective dose rates over time and to examine the feasibility of studying the relationship between exposure to radionuclides released from the Feed Materials Production Center and adverse health outcomes.

DESIGN: Observational study of 230 staff-resident interactions in an LTCF. We recorded resident characteristics, type of activity, staff credentials, and movements of the staff member's hands, then used the LTCF's guidelines to judge appropriateness of glove use and handwashing. SETTING: 255-bed, university-based LTCF in Baltimore, Maryland. PARTICIPANTS: A systematic sample of staff-resident interactions. RESULTS: Gloves were worn in 139 (82%) of 170 interactions when indicated, but changed appropriately in only 21 (16%) of 132. Hands were washed when needed before an interaction in 27%, during an interaction in 0%, and after an interaction in 63%. Gloves were less likely to be used when caring for residents with gastrostomy tubes compared with other residents (relative risk, 0.85; 95% confidence interval, 0.73-0.98). Guidelines were followed more frequently during wound care than during other activities. Microbial transmission potentially could have occurred in 158 (82%) of 193 evaluable interactions. CONCLUSIONS: We documented marked deficiencies in glove use and handwashing, demonstrated the possible impact of these deficiencies, and identified factors associated with inadequate handwashing and glove use. This information can be used in future educational and research efforts to improve infection control practices. JF - Insect. Control Hosp. Epidemiol.

AN - 78796379; 9011779 AB - Infections with bloodborne pathogens resulting from exposures to blood through percutaneous injuries (PIs) (e.g., needlestick injuries and cuts with sharp objects) are an occupational hazard for health-care workers (HCWs). PIs have been reported during 1% - 15% of surgical procedures, mostly associated with suturing. Most suturing is done using curved suture needles, although straight needles are used by some surgeons for suturing skin. Blunt suture needles (curved suture needles that have a relatively blunt tip) may be less likely to cause PIs because they do not easily penetrate skin. Based on small studies and anecdotal experience, blunt suture needles appear able to replace conventional curved suture needles for suturing many tissues, although they may require more pressure to penetrate the tissues. This report summarizes results of a study in which CDC collaborated with three teaching hospitals in New York City during 1993-1994 to evaluate a safety device (a blunt suture needle) in gynecologic surgery.

AN - 78791385; 9011778 AB - Health-care workers (HCWs) are at risk for infections with bloodborne pathogens resulting from occupational exposures to blood through percutaneous injuries (PIs). Phlebotomy, one of the most commonly performed medical procedures, has been associated with 13% - 62% of injuries reported to hospital occupational health services and 20 (39%) of the 51 documented episodes of occupationally acquired human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection reported in the United States (CDC, unpublished data, 1996). Although safety devices designed to prevent PIs associated with phlebotomy have been available for use in the United States, clinical evaluation of these devices has been difficult because 1) ascertainment of PIs is difficult (many injuries are unreported, and observation of all procedures is impractical because phlebotomy is performed throughout the hospital by different groups of HCWs at all hours), 2) data to calculate PI rates (i.e., the number of phlebotomies performed and devices used) are not routinely available, 3) a large number of phlebotomies must be evaluated because of the low rates of phlebotomy-related PI and 4) rates of safety-feature activation are difficult to assess. This report summarizes a collaborative study by CDC and six hospitals to evaluate safety devices for phlebotomy. The findings indicate that use of safety devices significantly reduced phlebotomy-related PI rates while having minimal clinically apparent adverse effects on patient care. JF - MMWR.

AN - 78775067; 9011776 AB - In October 1996, unpasteurized apple cider or juice was associated with three outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness. In the Western United States, an outbreak of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections associated with unpasteurized commercial apple juice caused illness in 66 persons and one death. In addition, one outbreak of apple cider-related E. coli O157:H7 infections and another of cider-related Cryptosporidium parvum infections occurred in the Northeast. Apple cider is a traditional beverage produced and consumed in the fall. Cider often is manufactured locally at small cider mills where apples are crushed in presses, and the cider frequently is not pasteurized before sale. This report summarizes the clinical and epidemiologic features of the two apple cider-related outbreaks, which suggest that current practices for producing apple cider may not be adequate to prevent microbial contamination.

Results from a national self-reported survey of health behaviors. AN - 78778745; 8990336 AB - To estimate how frequently adults in the United States drive while impaired by alcohol. Telephone survey. The 49 states (and the District of Columbia) that participated in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in 1993. A total of 102,263 noninstitutionalized adults aged 18 years or older. The percentage of respondents who reported alcohol-impaired driving; number of episodes of alcohol-impaired driving per 1000 adult population; and total number of episodes of alcohol-impaired driving-each by age, sex, race, level of education, and state. Overall, 2.5% of adults reported an estimated 123 million episodes of alcohol-impaired driving in 1993. This corresponds to 655 episodes of alcohol-impaired driving for each 1000 adults (range among states per 1000 adults, 165-1550). Alcohol-impaired driving was most frequent among men aged 21 to 34 years (1739 episodes per 1000 adults) and was nearly as frequent among men aged 18 to 20 years (1623 episodes per 1000 adults), despite legislation in all states that prohibited the sale of alcohol to persons younger than age 21 years in 1993. Alcohol-impaired driving is common even among underage persons. Strict enforcement of laws that discourage alcohol-impaired driving is needed along with community and patient education to reduce the prevalence of alcohol-impaired driving and prevent injuries and deaths from alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes. Data from the BRFSS, an ongoing source of national and state-specific data on the number of episodes of alcohol-impaired driving, are potentially useful for monitoring trends and evaluating the effect of future efforts to reduce alcohol-impaired driving.

Nationally representative population. 43,732 adults who completed the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention supplement in the 1991 National Health Interview Survey. Rate of restricted activity, bed confinement, and work absence in the two weeks preceding the survey and self-reported health status among adults with and without exposure to ETS. We found that only 20.2% of never-smokers and 23.1% of former smokers reported exposure to ETS at home or work, whereas 87.2% of current smokers reported exposure to ETS. Among never-smokers, after adjusting for covariates, people who were exposed to ETS were more likely to report one or more days of restricted activity (relative risk (RR) = 1.27, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.10 to 1.46), one or more days of bed confinement (RR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.19 to 1.73), and one or more days of work absence (RR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.05 to 1.73) in the two weeks before the survey than were people without such exposure. We detected smaller trends for one or more days of restricted activity among current and former smokers (RR = 1.16, 95% CI = 0.97 to 1.40; and RR = 1.11, 95% CI = 0.82 to 1.51), one or more days of bed confinement among current smokers (RR = 1.34, 95% CI = 0.95 to 1.88), and one or more days of work absence among former smokers (RR = 1.13, 95% CI = 0.84 to 1.50) in the two weeks before the survey than among people without such exposure, although the CIs were wide and chance cannot be excluded as an explanation for these findings. Never-smokers (RR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.34 to 1.62), former smokers (RR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.07 to 1.39) and current smokers (RR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.10 to 1.56) exposed to ETS were all more likely to report a less than very good health status than were people without such exposure. This study demonstrates that never-smoking adults exposed to ETS report more acute health effects than unexposed, never-smoking adults, and suggests similar findings in current and former smoking adults.

AN - 79341058; 9339226 AB - The incidence of brain cancer is rising in the United States while the causes remain largely unknown. Epidemiologic studies indicate that individuals working in agriculture have an increased risk of brain cancer. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is conducting a case-control study of incident brain cancer cases in Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin to evaluate the risk associated with several environmental exposures, in particular agricultural pesticides. Hundreds of different pesticides are used in agriculture and it is not feasible to evaluate the association between brain cancer and exposure to each of these chemicals; therefore, a strategy was developed to identify which pesticides would be targeted in the study. First lists of pesticides were created, documenting usage in each of the four states and the United States as a whole, by using data from reports prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Departments of Agriculture and land grant colleges within the four states. Then the following factors were considered in prioritizing pesticides for evaluation in the study: total volume of use prior to 1985, ranking of use in the four states and the United States as a whole by pesticide category, and toxicological evidence of carcinogenic, teratogenic, or mutagenic effects. Pesticide usage prior to 1985 was determined to allow for a minimum 10-year latency for the incident brain cancer cases diagnosed in 1995 or later. The selected pesticides include 56 herbicides, 49 insecticides, 12 fungicides, and 17 fumigants, accounting for over 99% of the total pounds of herbicides and insecticides and over 98% of the total pounds of fungicides and fumigants applied pre-1985. Prompt lists of the pesticides are sent to study participants a few days before the study questionnaire is administered to allow them time to recall past use of pesticides; the lists include the common chemical names, trade names, the crops that the pesticides are most commonly used on, and the years that the pesticides have been marketed. The methods used to select this subset of 134 pesticides document historical usage and may be useful in prioritizing pesticides for other research studies.

The purpose of epidemiology and surveillance is to define these factors, how they interact, and their relative importance in foodborne infections. The tools epidemiologists use to study foodborne disease include surveillance of specific infections in humans, monitoring of contamination with specific pathogens in foods and animals, intensive outbreak investigations, collecting reports of outbreaks at the regional or national level, and studies of sporadic infections. With sufficiently elaborate systems of surveillance and investigation, it is possible to provide quantitative risk data for foodborne diseases that will permit the wisest allocation of food safety resources.

Study individuals were recruited from the 1992 Silver Valley blood lead screening participants. The cases were children with a blood lead level > 10 micrograms per deciliter (microgram/dL). The controls were children with a blood lead level < 10 micrograms/dL, who were matched to cases by age and sex. Data on risk factors were obtained through personal interviews. Of the variables examined, yard soil remediation showed the strongest association with changes in blood lead levels. This variable was found to be a protective factor for elevated blood lead levels in children (odds ratio, 0.28; confidence interval, 0.08-0.92). The results suggest that removal of lead contaminated soil from residential yards was effective in reducing blood lead levels in children.

AN - 78794334; 9001921 AB - In November 1992 residents of Fairbanks, Alaska became concerned about the potential health effects of an oxygenated fuel program during which 15% (by volume) methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) was added to gasoline. To address those concerns, we earlier completed a survey of occupational exposure to MTBE. We conducted a follow-up survey of workers' exposure to benzene from gasoline in Fairbanks. Cross-sectional exposure survey. We examined blood concentrations of benzene from a convenience sample of workers taken in December 1992 during the oxygenated fuel program and from another convenience sample of workers taken in February 1993 after the program was suspended. In December, the median blood benzene concentration of samples taken from four mechanics after their workshift (postshift) was 1.32 micrograms/l (range, 0.84-2.61 micrograms/l), and seven nonmechanics (drivers and other garage workers) had a median postshift blood benzene concentration of 0.27 microgram/l (range, 0.09-0.45 microgram/l). In February, nine mechanics had a median postshift blood benzene concentration of 1.99 micrograms/l (range, 0.92-3.23 micrograms/l), and nine nonmechanics had a median postshift blood benzene concentration of 0.26 microgram/l (range, 0.2-0.46 microgram/l). Mechanics had higher blood benzene concentrations than did nonmechanics, but further study is needed to determine the impact of the oxygenated fuel program on exposure to benzene.

AN - 20745530; 9420848 AB - Fluoroquinolones and broad-spectrum cephalosporins are the most effective antimicrobial agents for the treatment of gonorrhea. However, clinically significant resistance to fluoroquinolones has emerged in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Fluoroquinolone-resistant strains account for approximately 10% of all gonococcal strains in Hong Kong and the Republic of the Philippines. As many as 50% of strains from some Far Eastern countries exhibit decreased susceptibility (intermediate resistance) to fluoroquinolones. Strains with intermediate resistance and clinically significant resistance are being isolated sporadically in North America, where resistant strains have been associated with an outbreak and with failure of infections to respond to treatment with doses of ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; strains exhibiting decreased susceptibility to these agents are endemic in at least one metropolitan area. Monitoring for fluoroquinolone resistance is now critical for ensuring adequate treatment of infections with resistant strains and for maximizing the time during which fluoroquinolones may be used to treat gonorrhea.

Data were obtained from 379 African American women residing in low-income urban communities. Sterilized women were one-fifth as likely as non-sterilized women to use condoms. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that for both groups of women, higher perceived benefits of condom use for disease prevention were associated with condom use. In addition, younger age, self-efficacy for condom use, peer support for condom use, and whether condoms were ever used for pregnancy prevention were associated with condom use among non-sterilized women. Results of this study indicate the role of fertility status in condom use and the value of developing targeted prevention programs that reach women at high risk for HIV infection. Risk reduction programs need to emphasize the role of condoms in disease prevention and address attitudes towards condom use.

Vigorous physical activity was defined as exercising, doing heavy housecleaning, or other hard labor three or more times per week in the month prior to the index date; mild physical activity was defined as the number of hours per day subjects reported spending on their feet. A case was any subject who sustained a fall-related fracture (ICD-9CM-800 through ICD-9CM-829) over a 21-month period (n = 471). Controls were a 10% random sample selected from the Health Care Financing Administration Medicare files (n = 712). The presence of any limitation in activities of daily living (ADL) significantly modified the effect of vigorous physical activity. Physically active subjects with no limitations ( ADL = 0) were less likely to sustain a fall-related fracture than were inactive subjects, with an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of 0.6, (0.5-0.8 95% CI), and active subjects with any limitation ( ADL greater than or equal to 1) had an aOR of 3.2 (1.1-9.8 95% CI) . Limiting this analysis to 159 hip fracture cases produced similar results. Mild physical activity was not associated with fracture. These results suggest that vigorous physical activity is associated with a lower fracture risk among elderly persons who have no limitations in ADL and with a higher risk among those with any limitations.

AN - 78653447; 8999308 AB - The prevalence of tobacco use among adolescents is increasing, and the most common source of tobacco products for persons aged < 18 years (minors) is retail stores. In 1991, an estimated 29.6 million packs of cigarettes were sold illegally to minors in California, and an estimated 255 million packs were sold illegally to minors nationwide. Federal law (i.e., the Synar Amendment) enacted in July 1992 requires all states that receive federal funds for prevention and treatment of substance abuse to have and enforce laws prohibiting the sale or distribution of tobacco to minors, conduct annual statewide inspections of over-the-counter tobacco outlets and vending machines to assess the statewide rate of illegal tobacco sales to minors, and develop a plan to decrease the illegal sales rate to < or = to 20% over several years. On September 28, 1994, California enacted the Stop Tobacco Access to Kids Enforcement (STAKE) Act, which requires that 1) tobacco retailers (i.e., vendors) post warning signs at each point of purchase and check the identification of persons who appear aged < or = to 18 years; 2) the California Department of Health Services (CDHS) develop a statewide enforcement program and establish a toll-free telephone number for reporting observed illegal tobacco sales to minors and 3) CDHS annually assess and report the rate of illegal sales of tobacco products to minors. This report describes the retailer education and enforcement program and summarizes the results of the first two annual assessments (Youth Tobacco Purchase Surveys [YTPSs]). The findings indicate that, from August-September 1995 to June-July 1996, among over-the-counter tobacco outlets the percentage of retailers who asked for age identification increased substantially, the percentage of stores displaying warning signs on age restrictions increased, and the percentage of retailers willing to sell tobacco products to minors decreased.

Seven decedents were reported to have had histories of mental illness, and alcohol abuse was mentioned on the police or pathology report for two decedents. This report summarizes the investigation of three of these deaths and describes risk factors commonly associated with hypothermia. JF - MMWR.

AN - 78627198; 8975122 AB - Health consequences associated with use of smokeless tobacco (SLT) (i.e., snuff or loose-leaf or fine-cut chewing tobacco) products include halitosis, leukoplakia, and oral cancer. Periodontal degeneration and soft tissue lesions are early indicators of these conditions and diseases among persons who use SLT. Since October 1992, the sale of tobacco products to minors (i.e., persons aged < 18 years) has been prohibited by law in Florida, and since May 1994, Florida law has required businesses to post warning signs stating that tobacco sales to minors are illegal and that proof of age is required to purchase tobacco products such as SLT. To assess the impact of these laws on over-the-counter access to SLT by minors in Broward County (1990 population: 1,244,531), during March-June 1996 faculty from Florida Atlantic University's Department of Exercise Science/Wellness Education conducted a study to measure vendor compliance with tobacco minimum-age sale laws and with the sign statute. This report summarizes the findings of the assessments, which indicated that nearly one third of attempts by minors to purchase SLT products were successful. JF - MMWR.

AN - 78645690; 8981266 AB - Priority health-risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems among youth and adults often are established during youth, extend into adulthood, and are interrelated. The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) monitors six categories of priority health-risk behaviors among youth and young adults: behaviors that contribute to unintentional and intentional injuries, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual behaviors, unhealthy dietary behaviors, and physical inactivity. The YRBSS includes both a national school-based survey conducted by CDC and state and local school-based surveys conducted by state and local education agencies. This report summarizes results from the national survey, 35 state surveys, and 16 local surveys conducted among high school students from February through May 1995. In the United States, 72% of all deaths among school-age youth and young adults result from four causes: motor vehicle crashes, other unintentional injuries, homicide, and suicide. Results from the 1995 YRBSS suggest that many high school students practice behaviors that may increase their likelihood of death from these four causes: 21.7% had rarely or never used a safety belt, 38.8% had ridden with a driver who had been drinking alcohol during the 30 days preceding the survey, 20.0% had carried a weapon during the 30 days preceding the survey, 51.6% had drunk alcohol during the 30 days preceding the survey, 25.3% had used marijuana during the 30 days preceding the survey, and 8.7% had attempted suicide during the 12 months preceding the survey. Substantial morbidity and social problems among school-age youth and young adults also result from unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection. YRBSS results indicate that in 1995, 53.1% of high school students had experienced sexual intercourse, 45.6% of sexually active students had not used a condom at last sexual intercourse, and 2.0% had ever injected an illegal drug. Among adults, 65% of all deaths result from three causes: heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Most of the risk behaviors associated with these causes of death are initiated during adolescence. In 1995, 34.8% of high school students had smoked cigarettes during the 30 days preceding the survey, 39.5% had eaten more than two servings of foods typically high in fat content during the day preceding the survey, and only 25.4% had attended physical education class daily. YRBSS data are being used nationwide by health and education officials to improve national, state, and local policies and programs designed to reduce risks associated with the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. YRBSS data also are being used to measure progress toward achieving 21 national health objectives and one of eight National Education Goals.

The study covered teleservice representatives who respond to toll-free calls for assistance. The work involves a computer or manual search for information, and data entry using keyboards. One facility had upgraded the furniture at the workstations; the other facility had not. A questionnaire survey among 114 teleservice representatives and an ergonomic evaluation were conducted to determine WRMDs and their risk factors and perceived job stress. A high prevalence of symptoms of WRMDs was found at both TSCs. Suboptimal ergonomic conditions were associated with neck, shoulder, elbow, and back WRMDs, as well as with increased job dissatisfaction. Perceived increased workload variability and lack of job control were associated with the occurrence of neck and back WRMDs, respectively. WRMDs were more frequently reported by teleservice representatives at the center with older furniture and suboptimal ergonomic conditions. WRMDs may be prevented by improving ergonomic conditions at workstations and addressing work-organization elements.

AN - 78611204; 8965803 AB - Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, toxic gas that is a product of incomplete combustion. Motor vehicles, heaters, and appliances that use carbon-based fuels are the main sources of this poison. Most fatal unintentional CO poisonings associated with motor vehicles are preventable and can result from differing mechanisms of exposure; 1) operation of a motor vehicle with a damaged or malfunctioning exhaust system and an inadequately ventilated passenger compartment, 2) operation of a motor vehicle in an enclosed space (e.g., a garage) with inadequate ventilation, and 3) use of auxiliary fuel-burning heaters inside a passenger compartment or in a camper. This report describes the investigation of deaths associated with multiple motor-vehicle-related CO poisonings in Colorado on November 3, 1996, summarizes a review of such deaths in New Mexico during 1980-1995, and presents geographic and seasonal patterns in national death rates for 1979-1992. These findings indicate that deaths from motor-vehicle-related unintentional CO poisonings increase during winter months and that death rates from CO poisoning in stationary motor vehicles are highest in states with colder average winter temperatures.

AN - 78546165; 8965795 AB - In November 1992, residents of Massachusetts approved a ballot petition (Question 1) that increased the tax on each pack of cigarettes from $.26 to $.51 beginning January 1, 1993, and requested that the legislature spend the proceeds on tobacco control and health education. The Massachusetts Tobacco Control Program (MTCP), administered by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH), was established in response to the approval of the petition. In October 1993, MTCP initiated a statewide mass-media antismoking campaign. In early 1994, the program began funding local boards of health and school health and other youth programs to promote policies to reduce public exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and to restrict youth access to cigarettes. Efforts also included support to health education programs, primary-care providers, and other services to help smokers quit. Through June 1996, MTCP expenditures totaled $116 million, including $43 million for the mass-media campaign. To assess the effects of the excise tax increase and the antismoking campaign on cigarette smoking in Massachusetts, CDC and MDPH analyzed data about the number of packs of cigarettes taxed per capita and the prevalence of cigarette smoking during the period preceding (1990-1992) and following (1993-1996) implementation of the ballot petition. This report summarizes the findings of the assessment and compares trends in cigarette consumption (i.e., purchases) in Massachusetts, in California (where a voter-mandated cigarette tax increase in January 1989 funded a statewide antismoking campaign that began in April 1990, and in the 48 remaining states and the District of Columbia combined. The findings suggest that the number of packs of cigarettes taxed per capita declined substantially in Massachusetts after implementation of the ballot petition. JF - MMWR.

IV. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): understanding a complex problem. AN - 78697828; 9050165 AB - Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of chemicals that are formed during the incomplete burning of coal, oil, gas, wood, garbage, or other organic substances, such as tobacco and charbroiled meat. There are more than 100 PAHs. PAHs generally occur as complex mixtures (for example, as part of products such as soot), not as single compounds. PAHs are found throughout the environment in the air, water, and soil. As part of its mandate, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) prepares toxicological profiles on hazardous chemicals, including PAHs (ATSDR, 1995), found at facilities on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) National Priorities List (NPL) and which pose the most significant potential threat to human health, as determined by ATSDR and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These profiles include information on health effects of chemicals from different routes and durations of exposure, their potential for exposure, regulations and advisories, and the adequacy of the existing database. Assessing the health effects of PAHs is a major challenge because environmental exposures to these chemicals are usually to complex mixtures of PAHs with other chemicals. The biological consequences of human exposure to mixtures of PAHs depend on the toxicity, carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic, of the individual components of the mixture, the types of interactions among them, and confounding factors that are not thoroughly understood. Also identified are components of exposure and health effects research needed on PAHs that will allow estimation of realistic human health risks posed by exposures to PAHs. The exposure assessment component of research should focus on (1) development of reliable analytical methods for the determination of bioavailable PAHs following ingestion, (2) estimation of bioavailable PAHs from environmental media, particularly the determination of particle-bound PAHs, (3) data on ambient levels of PAHs metabolites in tissues/fluids of control populations, and (4) the need for a critical evaluation of current levels of PAHs found in environmental media including data from hazardous waste sites. The health effects component should focus on obtaining information on (1) the health effects of mixtures of PAHs particularly their noncarcinogenic effects in humans, and (2) their toxicokinetics. This report provides excerpts from the toxicological profile of PAHs (ATSDR, 1995) that contains more detailed information.

AN - 78554566; 8934301 AB - Chlorinated pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) remain public health concerns because of their unresolved health impact and their persistence in humans. Current epidemiological studies of cancer, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, and endocrine disruption in National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) laboratories require exposure assessment of many analytes in thousands of people. Previous methods of analyzing pesticides and PCBs in serum have proven inadequate for timely processing of the number of samples required for epidemiological studies. A new method that involves solid-phase extraction (SPE) and cleanup followed by dual-column gas chromatographic separation and electron capture detection has been developed. Nine surrogate compounds were added to the serum prior to sample workup to provide quality assurance for the SPE steps. These surrogates mimic the chemistry of the analytes in the extraction, cleanup, and gas chromatographic analysis steps. To increase selectivity, extracts were injected onto two gas chromatographs with different capillary columns, a DB-1701 and a DB-5. Recoveries of 17 pesticides, 28 PCB congeners, and one polybrominated biphenyl congener ranged from 40 to 80%. Recoveries from this procedure were found to be similar to those from the previously used liquid-liquid extraction method. Correlation of analyte and surrogate recoveries were compared to examine the ruggedness of the technique. The SPE method was found to provide improved sample throughput by a factor of 15.

To assess the prevalence and adverse effects of this practice, in 1995 the Field Epidemiology Training Program of the Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia initiated an investigation in Al-Wadein village (1995 population: 5640) in the Asir Region of Saudi Arabia where a traditional healer had advised patients with diabetes to drink raw sheep bile as a treatment for their diabetes.

Of 740 isolates, 14.1% were penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSP; MIC greater than or equal to 0.1 mu g/mL), 3.2% were penicillin-resistant (MIC greater than or equal to 2.0 mu g /mL), and 25.5% were nonsusceptible to more than one antimicrobial agent. PNSP were more prevalent among children <6 years old (18.4%) than patients greater than or equal to 18 years old (11.7%) and among white persons (16.2%) than black persons (12.1%). PNSP represented 15 serotypes, but 89% of PNSP were serotypes in the 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine. The proportion of isolates with reduced susceptibility and the number of serotypes of nonsusceptible strains are increasing in the United States. Improved local surveillance for PNSP infections, judicious use of antibiotics, and development and use of effective pneumococcal vaccines will be required to treat and prevent disease caused by these strains.

AN - 78482938; 8927017 AB - In 1995 and 1996, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved three products in the new protease inhibitor class of drugs--saquinavir (Invirase), ritonavir (Norvir), and indinavir (Crixivan). Another drug in this class of agents, nelfinavir (Viracept) (Agouron Pharmaceuticals), is expected to be available soon from the manufacturer through an expanded-access program. All four drugs, which inhibit HIV protease and thus interfere with viral maturation and replication, are the most potent antiretroviral agents available to treat patients with HIV disease. However, these protease inhibitors interact with rifamycin derivatives, such as rifampin and rifabutin, which are used to treat and prevent the mycobacterial infections commonly observed in HIV-infected patients. Rifamycins accelerate the metabolism of protease inhibitors (through induction of hepatic P450 cytochrome oxidases), resulting in subtherapeutic levels of the protease inhibitors. In addition, protease inhibitors retard the metabolism of rifamycins, resulting in increased serum levels of rifamycins and the likelihood of increased drug toxicity. This report describes approaches for managing patients who are candidates for or who are undergoing protease inhibitor therapy when tuberculosis (TB) is diagnosed and presents interim recommendations for managing these patients until additional data are available and formal guidelines are issued.

AN - 78449001; 8927010 AB - Maternal cocaine use during pregnancy is associated with adverse health effects for both the mother and the infant (e.g., intrauterine growth retardation, placental abruption, preterm delivery, congenital anomalies, and cerebral injury). Because cocaine use often occurs concurrently with use of other substances (e.g., cigarettes and alcohol) and because fear of prosecution may deter women from obtaining medical care, the occurrence of perinatal exposure to cocaine has not been well characterized. In Georgia, the routine collection of dried blood spots (DBSs) from a heelstick of newborns for screening for metabolic diseases enabled the Georgia Chapter of the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation, the Georgia Department of Human Resources (DHR), and CDC to collaborate on a feasibility study of the use of residual DBSs for conducting low-cost population-based surveillance for perinatal cocaine exposure. This report presents the findings of the study, which indicate that, in 1994, at least 0.5% of infants in Georgia had had perinatal exposure to cocaine. JF - MMWR.

AN - 78436831; 8927002 AB - Suffocation in flowing grain is the most common cause of death associated with grain storage structures in the United States: during 1985-1989, suffocation accounted for 49 grain- and silage-handling-associated fatalities. During 1992-1995, nine persons in Minnesota died in separate incidents from asphyxiation after becoming engulfed in flowing grain within a grain storage structure. The Minnesota Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation program (FACE), a program sponsored by CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), was notified of the incidents by the state Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MN-OSHA), Minnesota Extension Services, and a newspaper clipping service. This report describes the investigation of three of these incidents by FACE, summarizes surveillance for grain bin suffocations during 1992-1995, and provides recommendations to prevent suffocations associated with grain storage bins.

AN - 78558203; 8933028 AB - Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are an important public health problem throughout the developed world. Many important questions remain to be addressed in assessing exposure to these compounds. Because they are ubiquitous and highly volatile, special techniques must be applied in the analytical determination of VOCs. The analytical methodology chosen to measure toxicants in biological materials must be well validated and carefully carried out; poor quality assurance can lead to invalid results that can have a direct bearing on treating exposed persons. The pharmacokinetics of VOCs show that most of the internal dose of these compounds is quickly eliminated, but there is a fraction that is only slowly removed, and these compounds may bioaccumulate. VOCs are found in the general population at the high parts-per-trillion range, but some people with much higher levels have apparently been exposed to VOC sources away from the workplace. Smoking is the most significant confounder to internal dose levels of VOCs and must be considered when evaluating suspected cases of exposure.

AIDS Community Demonstration Projects. AN - 78479895; 8893905 AB - Sources of HIV information were examined for 774 male and female injecting drug users (IDUs). The majority (80.7%) had received HIV information from one or more sources in the prior 3 months. The most frequently mentioned sources were television (39.9%) and friends or family (22.2%). There were few differences in source of HIV information with regard to gender, ethnicity, or age. Differences were more frequently observed between cities. The relationship of information source and subject characteristics with HIV knowledge, perceived risk, drug-related and sexual practices was examined using logistic regression. For men, exposure to mass media sources (OR = 1.48) and small media materials (OR = 2.03) were related to HIV knowledge. Small media and interpersonal information were related to HIV testing for men (OR = 1.95 and 1.85, respectively) and women (OR = 2.25 and 2.54). Interpersonal sources of information were also associated with increased sharing of injection equipment (OR = 2.04) and bleach use (OR = 2.23) among female IDUs. Significant differences in HIV knowledge and risk-related practices were also observed for ethnicity, city, men who have sex with men, and women who had traded sex for money or drugs. Implications for targeting HIV prevention efforts for IDUs are discussed.

AN - 78376250; 8830744 AB - Environmental dose reconstructions are being conducted at many nuclear weapons production and testing sites in the United States. These projects involve reconstructing potential radiation exposures and doses from past releases of radionuclides to people who lived near nuclear facilities where these releases occurred. The results of dose reconstructions can be used as the basis for deciding if epidemiologic studies or other public health activities should be undertaken. In addition, the results of dose reconstruction can be used in other risk assessment activities, such as those associated with environmental restoration and radioactive waste management. For example, the historical inventory of hazardous materials used and potentially released at the site can be used to begin to assess the risk for exposures from current and future activities. The site-specific environmental dosimetry methods developed for dose-reconstruction purposes are applicable to other environmental risk assessments performed for that site. These and other benefits of environmental dose reconstructions are discussed.

AN - 78398635; 8841032 AB - Priority health-risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems among youth and adults often are established during youth, extend into adulthood, and are interrelated. February through May 1995. The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) monitors six categories of priority health-risk behaviors among youth and young adults: behaviors that contribute to unintentional and intentional injuries, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual behaviors, unhealthy dietary behaviors, and physical inactivity. The YRBSS includes both a national school-based survey conducted by CDC and state and local school-based surveys conducted by state and local education agencies. This report summarizes results from the national survey, 35 state surveys, and 16 local surveys conducted among high school students from February through May 1995. In the United States, 72% of all deaths among school-age youth and young adults result from four causes: motor vehicle crashes, other unintentional injuries, homicide, and suicide. Results from the 1995 YRBSS suggest that many high school students practice behaviors that may increase their likelihood of death from these four causes: 21.7% had rarely or never used a safety belt, 38.8% had ridden with a driver who had been drinking alcohol during the 30 days preceding the survey, 20.0% had carried a weapon during the 30 days preceding the survey, 51.6% had drunk alcohol during the 30 days preceding the survey, 25.3% had used marijuana during the 30 days preceding the survey, and 8.7% had attempted suicide during the 12 months preceding the survey. Substantial morbidity and social problems among school-age youth and young adults also result from unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, including human immunodeficiency virus infection. YRBSS results indicate that in 1995, 53.1% of high school students had had sexual intercourse, 45.6% of sexually active students had not used a condom at last sexual intercourse, and 2.0% had ever injected an illegal drug. Among adults, 65% of all deaths result from three causes: heart disease, cancer and stroke. Most of the risk behaviors associated with these causes of death are initiated during adolescence. In 1995, 34.8% of high school students had smoked cigarettes during the 30 days preceding the survey, 39.5% had eaten more than two servings of foods typically high in fat content during the day preceding the survey, and only 25.4% had attended physical education class daily. YRBSS data are being used nationwide by health and education officials to improve national, state, and local policies and programs designed to reduce risks associated with the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. YRBSS data also are being used to measure progress toward achieving 21 national health objectives and one of eight National Education Goals. JF - MMWR.

AN - 78485920; 8888487 AB - Study designs in public health research often require the estimation of intervention effects that have been applied to a cluster of subjects in a common geographic area, rather than randomly assigned to individual subjects, and where the outcome is dichotomous. Statistical methods that account for the intracluster correlation of measurements must be used or the standard errors of regression coefficients will be under-estimated. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) can be used to account for this correlation, although there are no straightforward methods to determine sample-size requirements for adequate power. A simulation study was performed to calculate power in a GEE model for a proposed study of the effect of an intervention, designed to reduce lower-back injuries among nursing personnel employed in nursing homes. Nursing homes will be randomly assigned to either an intervention or control group and all employees within a nursing home will be treated alike. Historical injury data indicates that the baseline-injury risk for each home can be reasonably modelled using a beta distribution. It is assumed that the risk for any individual nurse within a nursing home follows a Bernoulli probability distribution expressed as a logit function of fixed covariates, which have values of odds ratios determined from previous studies which represent characteristics of the study population, and a random-intercept term which is specific for each home. Results indicate that failure to account for intracluster correlation can lead to overestimates of power as well as inflation of type I error by as much as 20 per cent. Although the GEE method accounted for the intracluster correlation when present, estimates of the intracluster correlation were negatively biased when no intracluster correlation was present. In addition, and possibly related to the negatively biased estimates of intracluster correlation, we also found inflated type I error estimates from the GEE method.

In respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, as with measles, low serum vitamin A concentrations correlate with increased severity of illness. To determine whether high dose vitamin A treatment is also effective for treating RSV disease, we conducted a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial among 180 RSV-infected children between 1 month and 6 years of age at three hospitals in Santiago, Chile. Children with nasal washes positive for RSV antigen were given oral vitamin A (50,000 to 200,000 IU of retinyl palmitate, doses according to age; n = 89) or placebo (n = 91) within 2 days of admission. There was no significant benefit from vitamin A treatment for the overall group in duration of hospitalization, need for supplemental oxygen or time to resolve hypoxemia. For the subgroup of children with significant hypoxemia on admission (room air oxygen saturation level < or = 90%), those given vitamin A had more rapid resolution of tachypnea (P = 0.01) and a shorter duration of hospitalization (5.5 vs. 9.3 days, P = 0.09). No toxicities were seen, including excess vomiting or bulging fontanel. If vitamin A has a beneficial effect on the course of RSV disease, it may be seen only in more severely ill children.

AN - 78456273; 8878220 AB - High dose vitamin A therapy is effective in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with measles infection. Children with acute respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection have low serum vitamin A concentrations. We performed a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of high dose vitamin A therapy among 239 children 1 month to 6 years of age to determine whether high dose vitamin A therapy would reduce morbidity associated with RSV infection. There were no differences between the vitamin A and placebo recipients for most clinical outcomes; however, vitamin A recipients had-longer hospital stays than placebo recipients (5.0 days vs. 4.4 days, P = 0.01) after enrollment. This effect was significant for children who were older than 1 year (who also had received the highest doses of vitamin A), particularly among those at low risk for complications of RSV infection and those enrolled during the second study season. Serum retinol levels at enrollment were inversely correlated with severity of illness. We found no evidence of a beneficial effect of vitamin A for the treatment of RSV infection in children in the United States. There may be groups of children for which vitamin A has an adverse effect, resulting in longer hospital stays.

AN - 78435703; 8870988 AB - The toxic oil syndrome (TOS) was a devastating disease that occurred in Spain in 1981. The disease was associated with the consumption of aniline-denatured and refined rapeseed oil that had been illegally sold as olive oil. Many aniline-derived oil components have been identified in the oils; however, no etiological agent has ever been identified for this disease. We have continued the study of the TOS problem by applying new technology in the form of liquid chromatography interfaced via atmospheric pressure ionization with tandem mass spectrometry. Using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, we studied diluted TOS-associated oils by direct analysis without prior sample treatment. Using this technology, we found new classes of compounds that are associated with disease-related oils. The compounds that have been identified are esters and ester amides of 3-(N-phenylamino)-1,2-propanediol and are products of aniline and triglycerides. Because of the varied fatty acid (oleic acid, etc.) content of the oils, many variations of the above compounds are possible. We now report the identities of more than 20 compounds not previously identified. These compounds are strongly associated with oils that caused the toxic oil syndrome. We believe these compounds should be considered for future animal studies.

Batch experiments, pilot-scale pipe experiments and full-scale pipe experiments were carried out to establish the kinetics for both decay and inactivation, and to compare the two disinfectants for use under tropical conditions. The decay of both disinfectants closely followed first order kinetics, with respect to the concentration of both disinfectant and disinfectant-consuming substances. Bacterial densities exhibited a kinetic pattern consisting of first order inactivation with respect to the density of the bacteria and the concentration of the disinfectant, and first order growth with respect to the bacterial density. The disinfection kinetic model takes the decaying concentration of the disinfectant into account. The decay rate constant for free chlorine was 114 lg super(-1)h super(-1), while the decay rate constant for combined chlorine was 1.84 lg super(-1)h super(-1) (1.6% of the decay rate for free chlorine). The average concentration of disinfectant consuming substances in the water phase was 2.6 mg Cl sub(2)/l for free chlorine and 5.6 mg NH sub(2)Cl/l for combined chlorine. The decay rate constant and the concentration of disinfectant consuming substances when water was pumped through pipes, depended on whether or not chlorination was continuous. Combined chlorine especially could clean the pipes of disinfectant consuming substances. The inactivation rate constant lambda , was estimated at 3.06 x 10 super(4) lg super(-1)h super(-1). Based on the inactivation rate constant, and a growth rate constant determined in a previous study, the critical concentration of free chlorine was found to be 0.08 mg Cl sub(2)/l. The critical concentration is a value below which growth rates dominate over inactivation. JF - World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology AU - Thogersen, J AU - Dahi, E AD - Techn. Univ.

The water treatment fulfilled WHO standard guidelines. However, the water quality allowed for significant regrowth of bacteria, demonstrating that the WHO guidelines are insufficient to check whether or not the drinking water has an acceptable regrowth potential. An experimental pipe system was examined on site. A growth model was established, based on a zero order bacterial detachment kinetics for the biofilms colonizing the inner surface of the pipes, with a release rate factor R, and a first order growth kinetics in the water flowing in the pipes with a growth rate factor mu . The rate factors were estimated to be R = 1.9 x 10 super(8) m super(-2) h super(-1) and mu = 2.5 h super(-1). It was concluded that growth in the biofilm played a dominant role in the bio-stabilization processes, while the initial microbial quality of the water works water and the growth in the water phase were of minor importance. The bio-stabilization process is understood herein as the reduction in the concentration of nutrients and assimilable organic carbon in the water, and thus as the reduction of the growth potential of the water. Bacterial growth and recontamination were examined during storage at the user site. The results showed that heterotrophic bacteria grew, while faecal coliforms decayed during storage. It was concluded that the users handled the water hygienically. JF - World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology AU - Dahi, E AU - Thogersen, J AD - Techn. Univ.

AN - 78277303; 8778583 AB - Salmonella serotype Enteritidis (SE) accounts for an increasing proportion of all Salmonella serotypes reported to CDC's National Salmonella Surveillance System. During 1976-1994, the proportion of reported Salmonella isolates that were SE increased from 5% to 26%. During 1985-1995, state and territorial health departments reported 582 SE outbreaks, which accounted for 24,058 cases of illness, 2,290 hospitalizations, and 70 deaths. This report describes four SE outbreaks during 1994-1995 associated with consumption of raw shell eggs (i.e., unpasteurized eggs) and underscores that outbreaks of egg-associated SE infections remain a public health problem.

AN - 78278491; 8772203 AB - During December 1993-September 1995, the Bureau of Food and Drug Safety, Texas Department of Health (TDH), received approximately 500 reports of adverse events in persons who consumed dietary supplement products containing ephedrine and associated alkaloids (pseudoephedrine, norephedrine, and N-methyl ephedrine). This total included reports by individuals and reports identified by the Bureau of Epidemiology, TDH, in a review of records from the six centers of the Texas Poison Center Network. Reported adverse events ranged in severity from tremor and headache to death in eight ephedrine users and included reports of stroke, myocardial infarction, chest pain, seizures, insomnia, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, and dizziness. Seven of the eight reported fatalities were attributed to myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident. This report describes three patients in which the recommended dosage for the dietary supplements reportedly was not exceeded, summarizes results from ongoing investigations, and underscores the potential health risks associated with the use of products containing ephedrine.

AN - 78278632; 8772680 AB - Thirteen of 14 epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of approximately 20% for coronary heart disease (CHD) for never-smokers exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), but this association remains controversial. If true, ETS might account for an estimated 35,000 to 40,000 heart disease deaths per year in the United States. We have conducted the largest study to date, a prospective study of 353,180 female and 126,500 male never-smokers enrolled in 1982 in the American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study II and followed through 1989. Analyses focused on subcohorts of 309,599 married pairs and of 135,237 subjects concordant for self-reported exposure and exposure reported by each one's spouse. More than 2800 CHD deaths (ICD 410-414) occurred among married pairs; 10% of married men and 28% of married women were married to currently smoking spouses, while 10% and 32%, respectively, were married to former smokers. After controlling for many cardiovascular risk factors, we found 22% higher CHD mortality (rate ratio, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.40) among never-smoking men married to currently smoking wives compared with those married to wives who had never smoked. The corresponding rate ratio for women was 1.10 (0.96 to 1.27). Never-smokers living with former smokers showed no increased risk. When analyses were restricted to subjects whose ETS exposure was classified via both their own self-report and a spouse's report, the rate ratio was 1.23 (1.03 to 1.47) for currently exposed men and 1.19 (0.97 to 1.45) for women. Results are consistent with prior reports that never-smokers currently exposed to ETS have about 20% higher CHD death rates. However, our data do not show consistent dose-response trends and are possibly subject to confounding by unmeasured risk factors.

AN - 78542233; 8965788 AB - Of all foodborne infectious diseases, infection with Vibrio vulnificus is one of the most severe; the case-fatality rate for V. vulnificus septicemia exceeds 50%. In immunocompromised hosts V. vulnificus infection can cause fever, nausea, myalgia, and abdominal cramps 24-48 hours after eating contaminated food; because the organism can cross the intestinal mucosa rapidly, sepsis and cutaneous bullae can occur within 36 hours of the initial onset of symptoms. Cases are most commonly reported during warm-weather months (April-November) and often are associated with eating raw oysters. During April 1993-May 1996, a total of 16 cases of V. vulnificus infection were reported in Los Angeles county. Fifteen (94%) of these patients were primarily Spanish-speaking, 12 (75%) had preexisting liver disease (associated with alcohol use or viral hepatitis), all were septicemic, and all had eaten raw oysters 1-2 days before onset of symptoms. In May 1996, three deaths related to V. vulnificus infection among primarily Spanish-speaking persons were reported to the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (LACDHS). This report summarizes the findings of the investigations of these fatal cases and illustrates the importance of prevention strategies for persons with preexisting liver disease. JF - MMWR.

AN - 78203711; 8676853 AB - In 1994, union and management officials and local physicians in southeastern Michigan noted the occurrence among automobile production workers of respiratory illness consistent with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). Local and national health authorities reviewed medical records, and in June 1994, individual employees and the union requested that CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) evaluate potential occupational exposures associated with these illnesses. This report summarizes preliminary findings of the evaluation, including detailed information about one HP case and a summary description of the six biopsy-confirmed cases among automobile production workers from three different plants (plants A, B, and C) in southeastern Michigan; all six workers had jobs that entailed frequent exposure to metalworking fluids (MWFs). The findings suggest the need for further evaluation of a possible association of occupational exposure to MWFs with HP. JF - MMWR.

AN - 78732334; 9132576 AB - Health effects associated with ingestion of nitrate-contaminated water have included methemoglobinemia (i.e., blue baby syndrome) in infants and spontaneous abortions in laboratory animals and livestock; however, only one study in humans has reported an association between increased methemoglobin levels and spontaneous abortion. During March 1993, the LaGrange County (Indiana) Health Department (LCHD) identified three women who reported a total of six spontaneous abortions during 1991-1993 and who resided in proximity to each other; each had obtained drinking water from nitrate-contaminated private wells in LaGrange County (1995 population: 29,350). LCHD was subsequently notified about a fourth woman from another part of the county who had had two spontaneous abortions after she had moved into a new home with a nitrate-contaminated private well. This report summarizes the investigations of these reports by LCHD, which indicate the need for further assessment of a possible relation between ingesting nitrate-contaminated water and spontaneous abortion.

AN - 78477501; 8889955 AB - Methyl parathion, a pesticide listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Toxicity Category I (i.e., most toxic), is not licensed for indoor use, and human exposure has resulted in the deaths of infants and children. From January 1991 through November 1994, an unlicensed pesticide applicator sprayed the interior of more than 200 homes in Lorain County, Ohio, with methyl parathion. To measure the environmental contamination this spraying caused, we measured methyl parathion in residential samples (air filtration and surface wipe) collected from a subset of 64 homes. To measure human exposure, we collected urine samples from 142 people living in these homes and measured urinary levels of para-nitrophenol, a methyl parathion metabolite. We then used a generalized estimating equation to evaluate the association between residential contamination and human exposure. The model included the age of the resident, the number of days between pesticide application and sample collection, and air and surface-wipe methyl parathion concentrations. As expected, the air and surface-wipe concentrations each had a significant inverse relationship with the number of days between application and sample collection. The model explained 65.7% of the variation in urinary para-nitrophenol concentrations. The form of this model could be used to estimate urine p-nitrophenol in residents exposed to methyl parathion in situations where urine specimens are not available. We recommend site-specific validation of this model.

AN - 78437306; 8866534 AB - To identify neurotoxic effects in children living near hazardous waste sites, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has designed a basic Pediatric Environmental Neurobehavioral Test Battery (PENTB) for children 1 through 16 years of age. It emphasizes tests appropriate to the stages of a child's development. These stages were fundamental factors in selecting tests for the PENTB, which includes both informant- and performance-based assessment procedures. Assessment of children under 4 years of age is restricted to four informant-based instruments, to evaluate as many functions as possible while minimizing testing time and the professional expertise needed in the test setting. The assessment of children 4 through 16 years of age includes 10 performance-based tests to evaluate key functions within the cognitive, motor, and sensory domains analogous to functions affected by neurotoxic chemicals in adults. In all age groups, it is crucial to also assess family, cultural, economic, and other potentially confounding variables.

AN - 78359729; 8823659 AB - Heat-related injury or illness (HRI) occurs when the body can no longer maintain a healthy core temperature. During the 1993 Midwest floods, several risk factors HRI were present for workers involved in sandbagging activities. Medical claims filed by Illinois National Guard troops were used to identify injuries. HRI was the most frequently reported injury diagnosis, at 19.3% (23 of 119 injuries). HRI represented 16.0% of injuries to men and 41.7% of injuries to women. HRI can be influenced by high ambient temperatures, high humidity, and prolonged exertion, all of which were present in Illinois. Our results indicate that HRI is a potential problem in disaster relief situations. Further investigation using more detailed data is needed to confirm these findings. Implementation of a few simple preventive measures may decrease the impact of this problem.

AN - 78038609; 8622617 AB - During 1993, an estimated 2.1 million persons aged 16-17 years in the United States were employed. Although many children aged <16 years work, employment data are neither routinely collected nor reported for this age group, and there are no reliable estimates of the number of children in this age group who work. During summer months, when most children are not in school, employment and hours worked by children aged <18 years increase substantially. To characterize workplace-related health and safety hazards for children, CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) analyzed 1993 data for workers aged <18 years from the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII), a survey administered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S. Department of Labor. This report summarizes the results of this analysis and indicates that substantial numbers of persons aged <18 years sustain work-related injuries and illnesses each year. JF - MMWR.

Herbicides are the most used class of pesticides accounting for more than 50% of total quantity used and more than 50% of total domestic sales. Alachlor is one of the top two herbicides with 75-100 million pounds used annually (EPA 21T-1005, 1991). Recently, we have been involved in studies of herbicide exposure that required us to develop procedures to measure alachlor and other herbicidal metabolites in urine. During our method development, we learned that the alachlor metabolism in humans was unknown. Alachlor metabolites have been identified in monkey urine and found to be mainly thioethers. Human alachlor exposure has commonly been estimated by quantifying the hydrolysis product, 2,6-diethylaniline (DEA), of alachlor metabolites in urine. In this study we attempted to identify alachlor metabolites by using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to analyze extracts of urine samples from subjects who were occupationally exposed to alachlor.

AN - 78047410; 8618542 AB - Although spider bites are common in many parts of the United States, most domestic spiders are not substantially venomous to man. The best known exceptions are widow spiders (Latrodectus spp., including the black widow L. mactans) and brown spiders (Loxesceles spp., particularly the brown recluse, Lox. reclusa). However, cases of arachnid envenomation from the hobo spider (Tegenaria agrestis) are being reported increasingly in the Pacific Northwest. This report summarizes investigations of three cases of T. agrestis bites among persons in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington; spider bites reported to U.S. poison-control centers during 1994; and emphasizes the need for physicians in the northwestern United States to consider the species as a cause of toxic arachnidism.

Despite laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco to minors in all states and the District of Columbia, most minors are able to purchase tobacco products. To determine current prevalences of the use of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products (i.e., chewing tobacco and snuff) by high school students, the usual source of cigarettes among those who smoked, and the percentage of students who were asked to show proof of age when buying cigarettes, CDC analyzed data from the 1995 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). This report summarizes the results of the analysis, which indicate a higher prevalence of smoking among high school students in 1995 than in 1993 and 1991, a doubling of the prevalence of current smoking among non-Hispanic black male students during 1991-1995, and that most high school students aged < or = 17 years who buy cigarettes from stores are not asked to show proof of age.

AN - 78160792; 8744875 AB - This article describes how the protection motivation theory (PMT) was used to inform the production of video curriculum for a bloodborne pathogens training program for hospital nurses. Although hospital nurses are well acquainted with the work practices designed to prevent bloodborne pathogen exposures (universal precautions), there is evidence that they do not always follow them. First, the original PMT is adapted to reflect what is currently known about the role of affect in health behavior prediction. Second, the authors show how the four PMT message constructs-probability of occurrence, magnitude of noxiousness, response efficacy, and self-efficacy-guided the planning, shooting, and editing of the videotapes. Incidental to this process was the operationalization of these message constructs in such a way that affective reactions would result. The results show that this video curriculum successfully aroused negative affect in the target audience. Only by carefully planning and documenting how message constructs are operationalized in health education materials can one be sure of achieving theory-based (and thus the most replicable) message design.

Baseline data about radon and radon testing were determined by questions included in the 1990 Health Promotion and Disease Prevention supplement for the National Health Interview Survey. Minorities and individuals with low income or minimal education were significantly less likely to have heard of indoor radon than were whites and those with more education or income. In this survey, only 3%-5% of residences had been tested for radon. A substantial increase above the rate of testing noted for 1990 will be needed to achieve the Year 2000 objectives for indoor radon.

AN - 78070250; 8815746 AB - Quantification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) usually requires preconcentration and cleanup prior to analysis. These procedures often involve using large amounts of toxic organic solvents. The sample preparation from serum is even more complex because of the coextraction of lipids and other nonpolar serum components. We describe the unprecedented use of cloud-point extraction to preconcentrate, extract, and clean up PAHs and PCDDs from human serum using the nonionic surfactant Triton X-100. The samples were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. The phase separation was induced by the addition of salt to the micellar serum solutions. The surfactant-rich phase was treated with acetonitrile and water to precipitate and remove some of the unwanted substances in the serum sample extract without significantly affecting the recoveries of the analytes. The favorable characteristics of cloud-point extraction discussed here strengthen its potential use as an alternative to other techniques of separation.

AN - 78055764; 8656185 AB - In 1991, media reports of an increase in the number of deaths attributed to methadone toxicity in Harris County, Texas, raised public concern about the safety of methadone. This concern was heightened by publicity surrounding the closure of three Harris County methadone maintenance treatment programs due to their poor compliance with federal methadone regulations. In response to this concern, the Texas Department of Public Health requested that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) assist in an epidemiologic study to determine the extent of methadone-related mortality in Harris County during 1991 and to determine the role of methadone maintenance treatment in these deaths. We reviewed cases investigated by the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office from 1987 through 1992 in which methadone was detected by postmortem drug testing. The autopsy reports for cases occurring in 1991 were also reviewed by three independent forensic pathologists who were asked to determine the role of methadone in the death. In addition, we attempted to document Harris County methadone maintenance treatment program enrollment for each decedent. We identified 91 decedents in whom methadone was detected at the time of death, with the largest number of cases occurring in 1991 (n = 27). Other substances, including alcohol, were detected in 85% of the cases. The Harris County Medical Examiner attributed 11 of the deaths to methadone toxicity. No more than three cases per year from 1987 through 1992 were attributed to methadone toxicity. In contrast, 34 deaths were attributed to polydrug toxicity, the largest number occurring in 1991 (n = 11). There was good agreement between the results of the independent review and the opinions of the Harris County Medical Examiner. Only 20% of the decedents were found to have been enrolled in a Harris County methadone maintenance treatment program at the time of death. Four people died of drug toxicity shortly after enrolling in a methadone maintenance treatment program. We found an increase in the number deaths occurring in Harris County, Texas, in 1991 in which methadone was detected. We also found that methadone blood levels were higher among decedents identified for 1991 and 1992 than among those identified in the previous years studied. However, we did not find evidence that the cause of these deaths could be attributed solely to methadone toxicity. Instead, for all years studied, the use of multiple drugs was the leading cause of death among people in whom methadone was detected. This finding points out the difficulties involved in determining the role of methadone as a cause of death.

AN - 78026558; 8638179 AB - We determined the relationship between pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer in the United States from 1979 through 1991 by analyzing death certificate reports compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics. Of the 26,866,600 people who died during the study period, 107,312 died with pulmonary fibrosis, 1,739,725 died with lung cancer, 2,040,634 died with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and 7,807 died with asbestosis. Lung cancer occurred less frequently among decedents with pulmonary fibrosis (4.81%) and more frequently among decedents with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (10.06%) and decedents with asbestosis (26.60%) than among decedents in the general population (6.48%). We conclude that the prevalence of lung cancer among people who died with a diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis is lower than the 10% to 40% prevalence that has been reported in case series of pulmonary fibrosis.

AN - 77989462; 8600346 AB - Since 1971, CDC and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have maintained a collaborative surveillance system for collecting and periodically reporting data that relate to occurrences and causes of waterborne-disease outbreaks (WBDOs). This summary includes data for January 1993 through December 1994 and for previously unreported outbreaks in 1992. The surveillance system includes data about outbreaks associated with water intended for drinking (i.e., drinking water) and those associated with recreational water. State, territorial, and local public health departments are primarily responsible for detecting and investigating WBDOs and voluntarily reporting them to CDC on a standard form. For the 2-year period 1993-1994, 17 states and one territory reported a total of 30 outbreaks associated with drinking water. These outbreaks caused an estimated 405,366 persons to become ill, including 403,000 from an outbreak of cryptosporidiosis in Milwaukee, the largest WBDO ever documented in the United States, and 2,366 from the other 29 outbreaks. No etiologic agent was identified for five (16.7%) of the 30 outbreaks. The protozoan parasites Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium parvum caused 10 (40.0%) of the 25 outbreaks for which the etiologic agent was identified. Two outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis occurred in large metropolitan areas (i.e., Milwaukee and Las Vegas/Clark County) and were associated with deaths among immunocompromised persons. The waterborne nature of these two outbreaks was not recognized until at least 2 weeks after the onset of the Milwaukee outbreak and until after the end of the Las Vegas outbreak. Campylobacter jejuni was implicated for three outbreaks and the following pathogens for one outbreak each: Shigella sonnei, Shigella flexneri, non-O1 Vibrio cholerae (in a U.S. territory; the vehicle was commercially bottled water), and Salmonella serotype Typhimurium (the outbreak was associated with seven deaths). Eight outbreaks of chemical poisoning were reported: three were caused by lead (one case each), two by fluoride, two by nitrate and one by copper. Twenty (66.7%) of the 30 outbreaks were associated with a well-water source. Fourteen states reported a total of 26 outbreaks associated with recreational water, in which an estimated 1,714 persons became ill. Fourteen (53.8%) of these 26 were outbreaks of gastroenteritis. The etiologic agent in each of these 14 outbreaks was identified; 10 (71.4%) were caused by G. lamblia or C. parvum. Six of these 10 were associated with chlorinated, filtered pool water, and three with lake water. One of the latter was the first reported outbreak of cryptosporidiosis associated with the recreational use of lake water. Four outbreaks of lake water-associated bacterial gastroenteritis were reported, two caused by S. sonnei, one by S. flexneri, and one by Escherichia coli O157:H7. Nine outbreaks of hot tub- whirlpool-, or swimming pool-associated pseudomonas dermatitis were reported. Two outbreaks of swimming pool-associated dermatitis had a suspected chemical etiology. The child who had the one reported case of primary amebic meningoencephalitis, caused by infection with Naegleria fowleri, died. The number of WBDOs reported annually has been similar for each year during 1987-1994, except for an increase in 1992. Protozoan parasites, especially C. parvum and G. lamblia, remain important etiologic agents of WBDOs. The outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis in Milwaukee and Las Vegas demonstrate that WBDOs can occur in large metropolitan areas. Surveillance methods are needed that expedite the detection of WBDOs and the institution of preventive measures (e.g., boil-water advisories). Surveillance data that identify the types of water systems, their deficiencies, and the etiologic agents associated with outbreaks are used to evaluate the adequacy of current technologies for prov JF - MMWR.

Indoor-air measurements detected elevated levels of carbon monoxide (CO), prompting evacuation of the building. An investigation of the cluster of CO poisonings related to the exposure was conducted March 16-18, by a pulmonary and hyperbaric medicine physician who treated one of the ill persons. This report summarizes the investigation findings, which underscore the importance of adequate maintenance of machinery equipped with internal combustion engines that are operated at indoor ice arenas and of proper ventilation of such arenas.

AN - 78004600; 8620902 AB - Epidemic cholera reached Guatemala in July 1991. By mid-1993, Guatemala ranked third in the hemisphere in reported cases of cholera. We conducted a case-control study with two age-, sex-, and neighbourhood-matched controls per patient in periurban Guatemala City. Twenty-six patients hospitalized for cholera and 52 controls were enrolled. Seven (47%) of 15 stool cultures obtained after admission yielded toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1. All seven were resistant to furazolidone, sulfisoxazole, and streptomycin, and differed substantially by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis from the Latin American epidemic strain dominant in the hemisphere since 1991. In univariate analysis, illness was associated with consumption of left-over rice (odds ratio [OR] = 7.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.4-36), flavored ices (-helados') (OR = 3.6, CI = 1.1 - 12), and street-vended non-carbonated beverages (OR = 3.8, CI = 1.2-12) and food items (OR = 11.0, CI = 2.3-54). Street-vended food items remained significantly associated with illness in multivariate analysis (OR = 6.5, CI = 1.4-31). Illness was not associated with drinking municipal tap water. Maintaining water safety is important, but slowing the epidemic in Guatemala City and elsewhere may also require improvement in street vendor food handling and hygiene.

During June 6-8, 1995, public health officials in Minnesota, Oregon, and Texas requested CDC's assistance in investigating consumer health complaints associated with smoking Philip Morris cigarettes near the time of the recall. This report summarizes CDC's ongoing investigation, which suggests that prolonged cigarette smoking caused most of the health complaints; in addition, the investigation has not identified a distinguishing chemical characteristic of the recalled cigarettes.

AN - 78542536; 8965785 AB - On June 26, 1995, the Division of Public Health, Georgia Department of Human Resources (GDPH), was notified of three cases of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection among residents of a community in north Georgia who had onsets of illness within a 24-hour period (onset during June 19-20); in comparison, during 1993-1994, only two cases of this infection had been reported in the same community. Because of the proximity of this community to the Tennessee border, on June 28 GDPH notified the Tennessee Department of Health (TDH) about these cases. TDH subsequently identified two confirmed cases with onsets of illness during June 23-24. Both of these cases were among persons residing in eastern Tennessee approximately 100 miles from the community in Georgia, and one occurred in an 11-year-old boy who was hospitalized with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This report summarizes the investigation of this outbreak, which implicated eating hamburgers purchased at a fast-food restaurant chain (i.e., chain A) as the source of infection. JF - MMWR.

AN - 78471487; 8882554 AB - This study examined trends in and patterns of emergency department visits and hospitalizations for respiratory disease on the island of Hawaii from 1981 to 1991. We found that emergency department visit rates and hospitalization rates for both asthma and COPD for 1987 to 1991 increased in all regions of the island in comparison with such rates for 1981 to 1986. Rates of emergency department visits and hospitalizations for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD, but not asthma, were significantly higher in the high-exposure Kona side of the island than in the intermittent-exposure Hilo side of the island during 1983 and 1988 to 1990. We also found that during the weeks that winds were from the west, blowing volcanic air pollution toward Hilo, emergency department visits for asthma increased 15%. Some of the results of our study support the hypothesis that volcanic air pollution affects respiratory health on the island of Hawaii, while other results do not. Any future studies should include measurements of air pollutant levels.

AN - 78434454; 8867379 AB - Despite the evaluation of over 100 antimicrobial drugs, the diarrheal disease cryptosporidiosis has remained refractory to treatment. We report the evaluation of five dinitroaniline herbicides including trifluralin, profluralin, nitralin, pendimethalin, and fluchloralin for anticryptosporidial activity in an in vitro cultivation model of Cryptosporidium parvum. All five compounds exhibited significant anticryptosporidial activities with no corresponding evidence of toxicity. The most active compound was pendimethalin with an IC50 of 0.19 microM while nitralin was the least active with an IC50 of 4.5 microM. These compounds should be evaluated further in an animal model of cryptosporidiosis.

AN - 78286507; 8776198 AB - Two new local exhaust systems, intended primarily to control patient mouth emissions of N2O, were installed in a dental operatory, and resulting exposure concentrations to dental personnel were observed. The exposures were found to be typically unaffected by the presence and operation of these new controls. Laboratory testing on a head form, in conjunction with the operatory observations, established that mask leakage due to poor fit was the primary cause of N2O emissions. An improved mask fit and the addition of a slotted skirt around the outer mask shell individually resulted in greatly reduced leakage rates in the laboratory tests. Also, exhaust systems placed on the chin, on the chest, or in the mouth proved effective in capturing mouth emissions simulated by a breathing machine and head form.

AN - 78141723; 8722109 AB - Acute inhalation of organic dusts such as cotton, hay, silage, grain, animal confinement, or compost dust can result in illness characterized by fever, pulmonary inflammation, chest tightness, and airway obstruction. These agricultural materials are complex mixtures of plant, bacterial, and fungal products. Elucidation of the time course of disease onset, the mechanisms of disease progression, and the identity of etiologic agents is essential for effective prevention and treatment. Toward this end, animal models for acute organic dust-induced reactions have been developed and characterized. Information concerning the applicability of various animal models to humans and progress toward elucidation of causative agents and mechanisms of action is presented.

To identify potential reasons for this increase, CDC, in collaboration with the Baltimore City Health Department (BCHD) and the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, analyzed data about primary and secondary syphilis cases during 1992-1995 and about temporal trends in factors that may affect syphilis rates (e.g., partner-notification results, access to medical care, and community illicit-drug use). In addition, data were analyzed from the two public sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics in Baltimore City. BCHD collects demographic data for all cases of reported syphilis among patients who reside in Baltimore City and attempts to interview and provide partner notification and treatment for these patients. This report summarizes the results of the analysis, which suggest the outbreak has been associated with decreases in partner notification and health department clinical services and a substantial increase in community cocaine use.

AN - 77974387; 8587570 AB - Behaviors associated with increased risk for sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by infected persons include unprotected intercourse, multiple sex partners, use of crack cocaine, failure to disclose serostatus to sex partners, and trading sex for money or drugs. Some sexually active, HIV-infected persons in the United States continue to practice risky behaviors. To characterize continued sexual risk behaviors among HIV-positive, illicit-drug using men, in 1993 CDC analyzed data from such men recruited for a small group-intervention program in three cities - Atlanta; Washington, D.C.; and San Juan, Puerto Rico. This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicate that some seropositive men continue to engage in unprotected sex. JF - MMWR.

AN - 78045409; 8622620 AB - Although the sale of tobacco products to minors is illegal in all states and the District of Columbia, the prevalence of cigarette smoking among adolescents has continued to increase, and most minors are able to purchase tobacco products. Reducing sales to minors is believed to be an effective measure for reducing the prevalence of tobacco use. To determine recent patterns of minors' access to tobacco products from retail outlets and vending machines, data were analyzed from the 1989 and 1993 Teenage Attitudes and Practices surveys (TAPS I and TAPS II). This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicate that most minors who use tobacco purchase their own tobacco and that small stores are the sources of most purchases. JF - MMWR.

AN - 77998459; 8592490 AB - The midline catheter is a peripherally inserted 6-8-inch catheter that may be used in patients requiring intermediate duration (i.e., several weeks) of physiologically compatible intravenous (IV) therapy. Unlike conventional short peripheral IV catheters, the midline catheter does not require changes every 48-72 hours. Midline catheters can be inserted at the bedside by a trained health-care worker, in contrast to subclavian, jugular, or femoral central venous catheters, which require insertion by a physician (often in an operating or procedure room) and usually are associated with more serious complications. Since 1990 (1), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received reports of acute hypersensitivity-like reactions temporally associated with insertion of midline catheters made from Aquavene (Landmark, Menlo Care, Menlo Park, California), an elastomeric hydrogel material that becomes hydrated and expands after catheter insertion (FDA, unpublished data, 1995; 1). This report describes four episodes of such reactions during 1992-1995, including one in a patient in a home-health-care setting (patient 1) and three among patients at a large university-affiliated hospital (patients 2-4).

AN - 77981675; 8552023 AB - The risk for lead exposure and lead poisoning is a persistent problem for some workers (1) and is an important issue in both industrialized and developing countries (2). In Armenia, where lead is used widely in industry (3), the Armenian Engineers and Scientists of America, Inc. (AESA), and the United Armenian Fund (UAF)* initiated a program in 1991 to use blood lead determinations to investigate lead exposures, identify industries and circumstances associated with lead hazards, and define specific jobs characterized by excessive exposures that increase the risk for lead poisoning of workers. In 1991, team investigators surveyed four factories that use lead; in 1993, one of the factories was resurveyed. Because the capacity of laboratories in Armenia to reliably determine blood lead levels (BLLs) is limited, blood specimens were transported to the United States for lead testing. This report presents the findings of both surveys and establishes the feasibility of sample collection at remote sites for transport to laboratories equipped and certified to process lead specimens.

AN - 78167546; 8682997 AB - To examine dentists' and physicians' effectiveness in advising patients who use tobacco to quit, the authors estimated the percentages of smokers in the United States who visited a dentist or physician in the preceding year, the percentages of those who were advised by their health care provider to quit and the percentages of those who planned to quit smoking. They also estimated the percentage of smokeless tobacco users who were ever advised by their dentist or physician to quit. The results of the study indicate that dentists and physicians may not be maximizing their opportunities to advise their patients who use tobacco to quit, or they are not adequately communicating to their patients the importance of quitting.

Analysis shows that 22.7% perceived themselves to be at risk, while 28.7% were assessed at risk, with 66% of all clients correctly perceiving their AR. Individuals who perceived themselves to be at risk were more likely than those without perceived risk (PR) to complete each stage of counseling & testing (CT). AR was not, however, significantly associated with returning for test results. Those with either PR or AR were more likely than those without PR to complete each stage of CT. AR was not, however, significantly associated with returning for test results. Those with either PR or AR were more likely to be seropositive than those with no PR or AR. African Americans were much less likely to return for test results than either Hispanics or whites, yet PR was most strongly associated with return rates for African Americans. Additional significant differences associated with gender & ethnicity, & their interaction with PR & AR were also observed for CT participation & HIV serostatus. Implications for these findings for HIV prevention efforts are discussed. 9 Tables, 1 Figure, 34 References. Adapted from the source document.

AN - 78282279; 8776289 AB - To evaluate the effects of cigarette advertising on brand switching, an accurate estimate of the extent of cigarette brand and company switching among current smokers is needed. Data from the 1986 Adult Use-of-Tobacco Survey were analyzed to estimate the percentage of adult smokers who switched cigarette brands and companies in the previous year. Approximately 9.2% of adult smokers (4.2 million) switched cigarette brands in 1986, and 6.7% (3.1 million) switched cigarette companies. The aggregate profitability of brand switching in 1986 was approximately $362 million. Based on this analysis, brand switching alone justifies only a small percentage of a cigarette company's advertising and promotion expenditures, suggesting that future research should address other potential effects of advertising, including maintenance of brand loyalty and expanding the cigarette market. Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): addictive behavior, advertising, smoking, tobacco.

Fraction components demonstrated properties of an antibiotic peptide resembling bacitracin. Many peptide antibiotics like bacitracin are secondary metabolites of Bacillus species, genus of the tryptophan producer organism for the implicated manufacturer. In order to determine whether a correlation exists between individual EMS cases and the concentration of peptides or bacitracin consumed, reliable methods must be developed for quantification of the total of isoforms.

AN - 20665695; 9420774 AB - Three recent outbreaks of locally acquired malaria in densely populated areas of the United States demonstrate the continued risk for mosquitoborne transmission of this disease. Increased global travel, immigration, and the presence of competent anopheline vectors throughout the continental United States contribute to the ongoing threat of malaria transmission. The likelihood of mosquitoborne transmission in the United States is dependent on the interactions between the human host, anopheline vector, malaria parasite, and environmental conditions. Recent changes in the epidemiology of locally acquired malaria and possible factors contributing to these changes are discussed.

Nasopharyngeal culture surveys were done to determine the extent of spread and means of transmission of this strain. The resistant strain was isolated from cultures of 8 (33.0%) of 24 children at hospital A and from 1 (0.8%) of 130 children attending outpatient clinics or day care centers. One-quarter of the initially uncolonized children at hospital A acquired the resistant strain during hospitalization. Among hospitalized children, frequent antimicrobial drug use prior hospitalization, and length of hospital stay were associated with infection with the resistant strain. These findings support limiting broad-spectrum antimicrobial drug use and nonessential hospitalizations in settings where drug-resistant pneumococci are prevalent. Development of a pneumococcal vaccine that is immunogenic in young children is urgently needed.

AIDS case reports and behavioral studies based on convenience samples suggest that behaviorally bisexual men use condoms inconsistently with male and female partners, seldom disclose their bisexuality to their female partners, and are more likely than exclusively homosexual men to report multiple HIV risk behaviors. Male bisexuality may present greatest HIV risk in the context of (a) male prostitution, (b) injecting drug use, (c) sexual identity exploration, and (d) culturally specific gender roles and norms such as those that may characterize some African American and Hispanic communities in the United States.

We also suggest a heuristic model to encourage additional research examining multiple dimensions of bisexual behavior and HIV risk.

Immunization of CBA/CaHNJ Xid mice with PsaA using either complete Freund's or TiterMax super(TM) adjuvants significantly protected mice against heterologous intravenous challenge with type 3 pneumococcal strain WU2 at doses up to 45 times the LD sub(50). The results indicate that PsaA warrants further evolution as a vaccine candidate for human pneumococcal disease.

We modified a PCR-based subtyping method, mixed-linker PCR with fluorescent-labeled IS6110-specific oligonucleotides, to demonstrate rapid, automated, and unattended electrophoretic analysis. Variation in band sizing (normally occurring with fragment mobility), an artifact of lane-to-lane and gel-to-gel differences, was controlled with an internal lane standard, resulting in accurate and precise DNA sizing. By using this method, fingerprint analysis can be performed using actual fragment length rather than estimated position analysis.

In a 2-year period, 105 school-associated violent deaths were identified. The estimated incidence of school-associated violent death was 0.09 per 100 000 student years. Students in secondary schools, students of minority racial and ethnic backgrounds, and students in urban school districts had higher levels of risk. The deaths occurred in communities of all sizes in 25 different states. Homicide was the predominant cause of death (n=85 [80.9%]), and firearms were responsible for a majority (n=81 [77.1%]) of the deaths. Most victims were students (n=76 [72.4%]). Both victims and offenders tended to be young (median ages, 16 and 17 years, respectively) and male (82.9% and 95.6%, respectively). Approximately equal numbers of deaths occurred inside school buildings (n=31 [29.5%]), outdoors but on school property (n=37 [35.2%]), and at off-campus locations while the victim was in transit to or from school (n=37 [35.2%]). Equal numbers of deaths occurred during classes or other school activities (n=46 [43.8%]) and before or after official school activities (n=46 [43.8%]).

All people who drank any unboiled tap water were 4 times more likely than people who drank only bottled water to have had cryptosporidiosis. For people with CD4 cell counts less than 100 cells per mm3 the association between tap water and cryptosporidiosis was even stronger. Additional data indicated that this outbreak also affected people who were not infected with HIV. No elevated turbidity values or coliform counts and no Cryptosporidium oocysts were found in testing of source of finished water during the study period but presumptive oocysts (residual shells of once-intact oocysts) were occasionally found in source water, filter backwash and one finished water sample indicating that some particles the size of oocysts could pass through the plant's filtration system.

AN - 77806662; 8531910 AB - Health-care workers (HCWs) are potentially at risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection through occupational exposures to blood. Although prospective studies indicate that the estimated risk for HIV infection after a percutaneous exposure to HIV-infected blood is approximately 0.3% (1,2), factors that influence this risk have not been determined. To assess potential risk factors, CDC, in collaboration with French and British public health authorities, conducted a retrospective case-control study using data reported to national surveillance systems in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. This report describes the study and summarizes results that suggest that risk factors for HIV transmission include certain characteristics of the exposure and the source patient; in addition, postexposure use of zidovudine (ZDV) by HCWs was associated with a lower risk for HIV transmission.

At other times, certain populations may be more highly exposed to these toxicants from point sources. The evaluation of the degree of the exposure to either a population or an individual is frequently based on indirect surrogates of exposure, such as questionnaire data on time-activities and/or concentrations measured in environmental media. We prefer to assess the degree of the exposure to a given toxicant by measuring the concentration of the toxicant, its metabolite(s), or reaction product(s) in human specimens. Then by applying pharmacokinetic information for that toxicant, we can best reconstruct the exposure scenario. These data are then compared to reference range levels of these toxicants in the preferred biologic specimen. The development and uses of the reference range data are exemplified by case studies including potential exposure to dioxin and solvents.

AN - 77799781; 8568020 AB - The number of reported outbreaks of typhoid fever in the United States has recently increased. Only six were reported from 1980-1989, but seven outbreaks were reported in 1990. In August 1990, health officials in Montgomery County, Maryland, were notified of two cases of typhoid fever among persons who had attended both a family picnic attended by 60 persons and a Latin Food Festival attended by 100,000 people. We obtained interviews, blood and stool cultures, and Vi serologies from attendees at and food handlers for the picnic. We defined cases as culture-confirmed or probable. Of the 60 picnic attendees, 24 (40%) had cases, of which 16 were culture confirmed. Those who ate potato salad were at increased risk of disease (17/32 vs. 6/28, relative risk [RR] = 2.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1-5.4). Picnic attendees who also attended the Latin Food Festival were not at significantly greater risk of disease than those who did not, (11/22 vs. 13/38, RR = 1.5, CI = 0.8-2.7) and we found no evidence of disease among other festival attendees. The potato salad was prepared with intensive handling and without adequate temperature control by a recent immigrant from El Salvador who was asymptomatic, did not attend the picnic, had Salmonella typhi (S. typhi) in her stool, and had elevated Vi antibodies, strongly suggestive of the carrier state. Outbreaks of typhoid fever are a threat for cosmopolitan communities. While currently available control measures are unlikely to prevent all outbreaks, thorough investigation can identify previously unrecognized carriers.

AN - 77727035; 7476843 AB - Methamphetamine (also known as "speed," "crystal," "crank," "go," and "ice") is the most widely illegally manufactured, distributed, and abused type of amphetamine, a class of stimulant drugs. An estimated 4 million persons in the United States have abused methamphetamine at least once (1). Information from several sources--including medical examiners, hospital emergency departments (EDs), substance-abuse-treatment facilities, and community epidemiologists--suggests a recent increase in morbidity and mortality associated with abuse of methamphetamine in the United States, primarily in the West but also in the South and Midwest. To characterize trends in methamphetamine-associated morbidity and mortality during 1991-1994, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) compiled and analyzed data from the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) and the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS). This report summarizes the results of these analyses. JF - MMWR.

Although alcohol use increases the risk for motor-vehicle crashes for all drivers, for young drivers the risk begins to increase at very low blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) (2). In addition, in young persons who drive after drinking, the relative risk for crash involvement is greater at all BACs than for older drivers who drink (3). This report is based on data from the Fatal Accident Reporting System of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and describes trends in alcohol involvement among drivers in fatal traffic crashes and trends in all alcohol-related traffic fatalities (ARTFs) in the United States from 1982 through 1994 among youth and young adults.

AN - 77687234; 7476839 AB - During February 1993-May 1995, the New York City Poison Control Center (NYCPCC) was informed about onset of illness in five previously healthy men after they ingested a substance marketed as a topical aphrodisiac; four of the men died. These cases were investigated by the New York City Department of Health, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Four cases were referred to the NYCPCC and one case to the New York City medical examiner's office. The decedents died from cardiac dysrhythmias, and all five patients had measurable levels of digoxin* detected in their serum. Digoxin had not been prescribed for therapeutic purposes for any of these patients, and none had medical conditions associated with endogenous digoxin-like immunoreactive substances. The purported aphrodisiac contains bufadienolides, naturally occurring cardioactive steroids that have digoxin-like effects. This report describes three of the five case reports, summarizes the investigations of the five cases, and underscores the health risks associated with inappropriate use of preparations containing digoxin-like substances.

Air bags are standard equipment in most new cars; federal safety standards require that all new passenger cars and light trucks be equipped with both driver- and passenger-side air bags by 1999. The safety of air bags is well documented, and air bags have saved an estimated 900 lives since the late 1980s (1); however, special precautions are needed to safely transport children in vehicles equipped with air bags. Reports of eight deaths of child passengers in crashes involving air-bag deployment are of special concern because they involved low-speed crashes that the children otherwise might have survived.

AN - 77687210; 7476848 AB - State laws on smoke-free indoor air, youth access to tobacco products, advertising of tobacco products, and excise taxes on tobacco products are summarized. Legislation effective through June 30, 1995. CDC and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) identified state laws addressing tobacco control by using LEXIS, which is an on-line legal research data base, and NCI's State Cancer Legislative Database (SCLD), which is a data base of legislation. CDC and NCI conducted detailed analyses of the content of the laws to identify specific provisions. CDC and NCI identified 1,238 state laws that address tobacco-control-related issues. Most laws either enact restrictions or strengthen current legislation that restricts tobacco use, sales to minors, or advertising; however, some laws preempt stronger measures by local ordinances. At the state level, forty-six states and Washington, DC require smoke-free indoor air to some degree or in some public places. All states prohibit the sale and distribution of tobacco products to minors, but only nine states restrict advertising of tobacco products. All states tax cigarettes (average excise tax is 31.5 cents per pack); 42 states also tax chewing tobacco and snuff. State laws addressing tobacco control vary in relation to restrictiveness, enforcement and penalties, preemptions, and exceptions. The tables summarizing these laws are available through CDC's State Tobacco Activities Tracking and Evaluation (STATE) system and through NCI's SCLD. This information can be used by policy makers at the state and local levels to plan and implement initiatives on youth access to tobacco products and on the use, promotion, advertising, and taxation of tobacco products.

From March 1993 through February 1995, results of blood lead tests of 56,379 children aged < 6 years were reported to Rhode Island's lead surveillance system. This report summarizes an analysis of these data by the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDH) to better characterize the burden of childhood lead poisoning in the state. JF - MMWR.

Although male IDUs who report male sex partners have accounted for 7% of all AIDS cases and for 21% of cases reported among IDUs, the characteristics and risk practices of male IDUs who have sex with men (MSM) have not been clearly determined (2-4). To better characterize this group of men with multiple risk factors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, data collected during February 1991 through June 1994 from three sites--Dallas; Denver; and Long Beach, California--were analyzed as part of the CDC-sponsored AIDS Community Demonstration Projects (5,6).

AN - 77571252; 7565559 AB - Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is an environmental hazard, and unintentional CO poisonings have occurred in multiple settings, including residences, motor vehicles, and workplaces. In 1993, exposure to CO produced by a malfunctioning natural gas furnace in a Suffield, Connecticut, home resulted in the deaths of three children and hospitalization of four other family members. Publicity resulting from this and other CO poisoning incidents prompted concern that gas furnaces have been a primary cause of residential CO poisonings in Connecticut. To determine the sources of residential CO poisonings in Connecticut, the Connecticut Department of Public Health (CDPH) surveyed persons with cases of CO poisoning during November 1993-March 1994.

All five patients were users of illicit drugs. This report summarizes the preliminary findings of an investigation initiated to describe the clinical features and epidemiology of this syndrome and to determine an etiology. Based on information about the five cases obtained from interviews with the patients and reviews of records, a case was defined as an unexplained acute, severe respiratory illness in a previously healthy person aged < 65 years characterized by shortness of breath and/or pleuritic pain with onset of symptoms during July 15-31. One additional case was identified by contacting local physicians, intensive-care units, and pulmonary and infectious disease specialists. No cases of similar acute respiratory illness were noted in household contacts of patients. JF - MMWR.

Milk consumption, sunlight exposure, medical symptoms, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), serum and urinary calcium, and indicators of renal function were measured. Increased milk consumption was associated with increased serum 25(OH)D and urinary calcium. However, the prevalences of elevated serum 25(OH)D and calcium were no greater than expected, and data indicated normal renal function. It was concluded that most persons exposed to excess vitamin D exhibited no measurable adverse subclinical effects.

AN - 77465288; 7648290 AB - To determine whether the simultaneous, partial repeal of needle prescription and drug paraphernalia laws in Connecticut affected purchasing and usage of needles and syringes (syringes) by injecting-drug users (IDUs) and risk of needlestick injuries to police officers, we conducted two serial cross-sectional surveys with IDUs recruited in drug treatment centers, correctional facilities, and health department settings. Reports of needlestick injuries among Hartford police officers were reviewed before and after the new laws. Among IDUs who reported ever sharing a syringe, syringe-sharing decreased after the new laws (52% before vs. 31% after; p = 0.02). Fewer IDUs reported purchasing syringes on the street after the new laws (74% before vs. 28% after; p < 0.0001). More IDUs reported purchasing syringes from a pharmacy after the new laws (19% before vs. 78% after; p < 0.0001). Eight to eleven months after the new laws were enacted, over two thirds (91 of 134) of active IDUs interviewed were aware of both new laws. Needlestick injury rates among Hartford police officers were lower after the new laws (six injuries in 1,007 drug-related arrests for 6-month period before new laws vs. two in 1,032 arrests for 6-month period after new laws). The changes in Connecticut laws were associated with decreases in self-reported syringe-sharing and increases in purchasing by IDUs of sterile syringes from reliable sources, suggesting that the simultaneous repeal of both prescription and paraphernalia laws is an important HIV prevention strategy.

AN - 77455269; 7643848 AB - Despite substantial progress in reducing exposures to lead among children, as recently as 1991, 9% of children in the United States had blood lead levels (BLLs) of > or = 10 micrograms/dL (1)--levels that can adversely affect intelligence and behavior. In 1991, CDC recommended screening all children for lead exposure except those residing in communities in which large numbers or percentages previously had been screened and determined not to have lead poisoning (2). Subsequently, the California Department of Health Services (CDHS) issued a directive to all California health-care providers participating in the Child Health and Disability Prevention Program to routinely screen children for lead poisoning in accordance with the 1991 CDC guidelines (3). This report presents finding of BLL testing during 1992-1993 from a managed-care organization that provides primary-care services to Medicaid beneficiaries in several locations in California (i.e., Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, Riverside County, Sacramento, and Placerville).

AN - 77428767; 7630338 AB - In New York, an estimated 3600 injuries occur each year to farmers operating farm machines (1). In October 1993, the Occupational Health Nurses in Agricultural Communities (OHNAC) program in the New York State Department of Health received a report of a man who sustained severe injuries when he became entangled in the power take-off (PTO) driveline to a self-unloading forage wagon. Subsequent investigation by OHNAC identified four additional similar incidents in New York that occurred during September 1991-October 1994, including one fatality and one injury to a 9-year-old girl working on a family farm. This report summarizes the results of the investigation of these forage-wagon-related injuries and presents recommendations to reduce the risk for such injuries. JF - MMWR.

AN - 77585617; 7476063 AB - To determine the pattern of exercise and associated adverse events, including injuries, a mail survey was conducted on participants in the 1980 Peachtree Road Race Study for whom we were able to obtain current addresses. A total of 535 persons responded, 326 men and 209 women, representing 72% of those with identifiable addresses. Although only 56% of respondents reported that they were still running in 1990, 81% reported that they were still exercising regularly. The cumulative probability for continuing to run was 0.71 for men and 0.56 for women. Injury (31%) was the chief reason given by men for stopping permanently. For women, 28% stopped because they chose another form of exercise. Fifty-three percent of respondents had at least one injury during the 10-yr interval. The probability of experiencing an injury was associated with higher weekly mileage. The knee was the most frequently injured site. Thirty-nine percent of women and 35% of men reported being verbally assaulted. Approximately 10% of persons were hit by thrown objects or bitten by a dog. In a group of recreational runners, almost half had stopped running 10 yr later, but over 80% were still physically active. Many runners sustain injuries or suffer hazards related to their exercise.

AN - 77309313; 7770028 AB - Residential exposure to elemental mercury typically involves small amounts (e.g., the approximately 0.3 mL in a thermometer). During August 1994, five children residing in a neighborhood in Palm Beach County, Florida, found 5 pints of elemental mercury in an abandoned van. During the ensuing 25 days, the children shared and played with the mercury outdoors, inside homes, and at local schools. On August 25, 1994, a parent notified local police and fire authorities that her children had brought mercury into the home. On the same day, 50 homes were immediately vacated and an assessment of environmental and health impacts was initiated by the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Health and Rehabilitative Services of the Palm Beach County Public Health Unit, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This report summarizes the investigation of this incident.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - MMWR.

AN - 77305960; 7770029 AB - In November 1994, the U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA), the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Pennsylvania Department of Health requested that CDC investigate a report of unexplained illnesses among members of an Air National Guard (ANG) unit in south-central Pennsylvania (Unit A) who were veterans of the Persian Gulf War (PGW) (August 1990-June 1991). These veterans had been evaluated at a local VA medical center for symptoms that included recurrent rash, diarrhea, and fatigue. A three-stage investigation was planned to 1) verify and characterize signs and symptoms in PGW veterans attending the VA medical center; 2) determine whether the prevalence of symptoms was higher among members of Unit A than among members of other units deployed to the PGW and, if so, whether the increased prevalence was associated with PGW deployment; and 3) characterize the illness and identify associated risk factors. This report presents preliminary findings from stages 1 and 2 (stage 3 is in progress). JF - MMWR.

AN - 77640255; 7564298 AB - We developed an isotope-dilution method for measuring methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) in whole human blood using a purge-and-trap gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method. The labeled analogues for MTBE and TBA were [2H12]methyl tert-butyl ether and [2H9]-tert-butyl alcohol, respectively. Volatiles were removed from the blood by direct helium purging of the liquid; were trapped on a Tenax trap; and were desorbed, cryofocused, and chromatographed on a DB-624 capillary column that was connected directly to the ion source of a mass spectrometer. Detection was by mass analysis using a double-focusing magnetic-sector mass spectrometer operating in the full-scan mode at the medium mass resolution of 3000. For the isotope-dilution method, the minimum detection limits in blood (5-10 mL) are 0.01 microgram/L for MTBE and 0.06 microgram/L for TBA. The isotope-dilution method proved to be a big improvement in recovery, reproducibility, and sensitivity over our previous analytical method, which used the labeled ketone, [4-2H3]-2-butanone, as the internal standard for both MTBE and TBA. The isotope-dilution method has sufficient sensitivity for monitoring blood levels of MTBE and TBA in populations exposed to oxygenated fuels containing MTBE.

AN - 77405375; 7618148 AB - Limitations in understanding the relationship between occupational and environmental exposures and disease present opportunities for using biological markers to fill gaps in knowledge. Three situations can be identified that could foster the development and use of biomarkers, where epidemiological evidence is (1) definitive, (2) equivocal, and (3) lacking. When there is clear epidemiological evidence of disease risk given an exposure, biomarkers could be used to identify high- and low-risk subsets of a cohort that might benefit from differential practices such as counseling about job risks, varying frequency and intensity of medical surveillance, and using protective equipment. Biomarkers could also be used to test the effectiveness of environmental controls. Assessment of blood lead in bridge workers and purified protein derivative (PPD) testing in health care workers illustrates biomarkers that have been used to evaluate control efforts. When epidemiological evidence is equivocal, a broad and consistent database on intermediate biomarkers in the path between exposure and disease could provide a compelling case as to whether a substance should be treated as hazardous. The case of ethylene oxide illustrates this situation: the epidemiological evidence of risk of lymphohematopoietic cancer is equivocal but there is an informative database on genetic and cytogenetic changes in various species consistent with carcinogenicity. Biomarker data also can be used to assist in the interpretation of inconclusive epidemiological information as is illustrated in the case of styrene where markers provide a mechanistic rationale for the epidemiologic findings. When there is little or no epidemiological evidence of risk in an exposure situation, such as around hazardous waste operations or with new technologies, biological markers can serve as early warning indicators of exposure or risk. In such cases it is important to have an underlying biological theory and an appropriate epidemiological study design if the principal results are to be of value in indicating risk and preventing disease.

AN - 77217012; 7715588 AB - A national health objective for the year 2000 is to reduce exposure to air pollutants so that at least 85% of persons reside in counties that meet Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards (objective 11.5) (1). Ozone, the principle component of summer smog, is the most pervasive air pollutant in the United States. The risks associated with ozone and other air pollutants are especially increased for children and adults with asthma (2); however, children with no underlying pulmonary diseases also are at risk for adverse health effects associated with these pollutants (3). In addition, because children of racial/ethnic minorities are more likely to reside in areas with higher air pollution levels, they may be exposed to higher levels of ozone (4).

AN - 77187289; 7898420 AB - Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a major cause of preventable mental retardation (1). The development and evaluation of programs for preventing FAS may be enhanced by timely and reliable estimates of the occurrence of this complex birth defect. In 1989, birth certificates were standardized nationally to include check-boxes for reporting FAS and other congenital abnormalities (2). These changes were implemented to improve the potential usefulness of birth certificates for timely and systematic population-based ascertainment of FAS and other abnormal conditions of the newborn (3). To assess the usefulness of birth certificates for surveillance of FAS, the Division of Public Health, Georgia Department of Human Resources (DPH-GDHR), compared information about congenital anomalies from birth certificates to data collected by CDC's Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) during 1989-1992. This report summarizes the results of the assessment of FAS. JF - MMWR.

AN - 77186128; 7898421 AB - Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is one of the leading causes of preventable birth defects and developmental disabilities in the United States (1). Since 1979, surveillance systems for estimating and tracking FAS have categorized cases using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM), code 760.71 (2). This code comprises noxious influences affecting the fetus or newborn through placenta or breast milk, specifically alcohol, and includes FAS. Because the code is not specific for FAS and may reflect maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy or other adverse effects of alcohol on the fetus, CDC assessed the usefulness of this code in ascertaining FAS cases by reviewing medical records for 1981-1993 from the Aberdeen Area Indian Health Service (IHS) and IHS contract facilities in eight of the 19 tribal or American Indian communities in the area. This report summarizes the findings of the analysis. JF - MMWR.

AN - 77348767; 7795109 AB - Resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to antimicrobial agents continues to spread and intensify. Choosing an antimicrobial regimen requires knowledge of the comparative efficacy of candidate regimens, as delineated in properly conducted clinical trials; their activity against N. gonorrhoeae in vitro; and their pharmacokinetics and toxicity. We tabulated the results of trials of single-dose antimicrobial therapy for uncomplicated gonococcal infection published after 1980. Thirty regimens comprising 21 antimicrobial drugs have been shown to be highly effective for rectal and urogenital infections; the agents involved are cefixime, cefodizime, cefotaxime, cefoxitin, ceftizoxime, ceftriaxone, cefuroxime, cefuroxime axetil, ciprofloxacin, fleroxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, pefloxacin, temafloxacin, azithromycin, aztreonam, netilmicin, rifampin plus erythromycin stearate, sisomicin, and spectinomycin. Few regimens have been shown to be highly effective against pharyngeal infections. Among those antimicrobial agents available for the treatment of uncomplicated gonococcal infections in the United States, ceftriaxone (125 mg), cefixime (400 mg), ciprofloxacin (500 mg), and ofloxacin (400 mg) appear to offer the best balance of proven efficacy and safety.

AN - 77169002; 7885312 AB - Herbal and other plant-derived remedies have been estimated by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be the most frequently used therapies worldwide. Therapeutic agents derived from plants include pure chemical entities available as prescription drugs (e.g., digitoxin, morphine, and taxol), standardized extracts, herbal teas, and food plants; plant-derived remedies can contain chemicals with potent pharmacologic and toxicologic properties. Although precise levels of use of these remedies in the United States are unknown, in 1991, herbal products accounted for sales of approximately $1 billion. Previous reports about herbal remedies in the rural South have described the use and biologic activities of locally gathered plant species and details of preparation and dosage, but have not determined the prevalence of use of plant-derived remedies in the study population and the prevalence of use of specific remedies. To assess the prevalence of use of plant-derived remedies (excluding prescription drugs) and the prevalence of use of specific remedies in rural central Mississippi, The University of Mississippi conducted a survey during March-June 1993. This report describes two case reports of use of these remedies and summarizes the findings of the survey. JF - MMWR.

AN - 77154726; 7870022 AB - Lead poisoning has been recognized as an occupational disease for centuries and has been linked with both severe and subtle health damage (1-3). In July 1993, the government of Taiwan initiated a compulsory system* for surveillance of elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) among workers in that country (4). All lead-exposed workers in lead-using factories are identified and included in the lead surveillance system. This report summarizes findings from this program for July-December 1993. JF - MMWR.

AN - 77295460; 7760571 AB - Because past research has focused primarily on populations of middle-aged men, the relationship between alcohol and mortality among women and the elderly has been less well substantiated We examined the relationship between alcohol intake and mortality using data from the NHANES I Epidemiologic Follow-Up Study. Total mortality was examined for both sexes (N = 4,614 women, 3,573 men), but ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality was examined only for men because the number of deaths was too small in women. Proportional hazards modeling was used to adjust for the baseline characteristics of age, race, education, body weight, smoking and physical activity. For men aged 40 to 64, the adjusted relative risks (RR) of death for drinking levels of .5 drinks/day, .5 to or = 2 (compared to the nondrinking reference group) were 0.8 (95% Confidence Interval: 0.6, 1.1), 0.9 (CI:0.6, 1.2) and 1.2 (CI: 0.9, 1.6); RRs of IHD mortality were 0.6 (CI: 0.4, 0.9), 0.5 (CI: 0.3, 0.9) and 0.7 (CI: 0.5, 1.2). For women aged 40 to 64, the RRs for death for the same exposure categories were 1.2 (CI: 0.9, 1.6), 0.9 (CI: 0.6, 1.4) and 1.9 (CI: 1.2, 3.0). Among both sexes 65 years and older, consumption of < 2 drinks/day was associated with about a 20% decrease in total mortality and IHD mortality (men only). However, this protective effect disappeared after exclusion of those with pre-existing disease. Our findings support a protective effect of moderate alcohol intake on IHD mortality in middle-aged men. Among both men and women, there was little evidence of a protective association between moderate alcohol intake and total mortality after excluding those with pre-existing disease.

In addition, the prevalence of smokeless tobacco use has been reported to be high in tobacco-producing regions, including rural North Carolina and Kentucky (2,3). In southeastern North Carolina, reports from physicians and dentists suggested a high prevalence of smokeless tobacco use in the local American Indian population, the Lumbee--particularly among women and children. In response to these reports, the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest University analyzed data from a National Cancer Institute-sponsored cervical cancer prevention program to estimate the prevalence of smokeless tobacco use during 1991 among Lumbee women aged > or = 18 years residing in Robeson County, North Carolina (1990 population: 105,179).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) JF - MMWR.

AN - 77128877; 7840111 AB - Capture-recapture methods were used to estimate the prevalence of fetal alcohol syndrome among Alaska Natives born during the period 1982-1989. Potential cases were identified through an Indian Health Service (IHS) patient case file, a pediatric practice case file, and Medicaid claims from private physicians. A total of 74 Alaska Native children aged 3-10 years were identified with a notation of fetal alcohol syndrome by a physician in a medical record. Because not all of these cases had supporting documentation regarding the syndrome, they were classified as possible cases. Of these possible cases, 50 met all five criteria for chart verification of the syndrome: physician notation of fetal alcohol syndrome, growth deficiency, facial features of the syndrome, central nervous system impairment, and a maternal history of alcohol abuse. These data provided observed prevalence rates of chart-verified fetal alcohol syndrome of 3.1 per 1,000 live births for children born 1982-1985 (age 7-10 years), and 2.0 per 1,000 live births for children born 1986-1989 (age 3-6 years). Capture-recapture analyses were conducted using cases identified by IHS and private physicians. These analyses estimated a prevalence of the syndrome of 3.8 per 1,000 live births for children born 1982-1985, and 3.1 per 1,000 live births for children born 1986-1989. Based on the capture-recapture predicted number of cases, the IHS case file ascertained a greater percentage of cases among the older cohort (75%) than among the younger cohort (56%). These data illustrate the use of capture-recapture analyses in identifying the extent to which observed trends in rates may reflect differences in cases ascertainment over time (or by birth cohort). The application of capture-recapture in fetal alcohol syndrome surveillance, however, requires careful attention to the underlying assumptions of capture-recapture methods.

AN - 77133051; 7830701 AB - Silicosis is a chronic lung disease associated with the inhalation and pulmonary deposition of dust that contains crystalline silica. Through the Sentinel Event Notification System for Occupational Risks (SENSOR)* program, CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is assessing practical models for implementing state-based surveillance of silicosis and linking follow-up intervention activities to surveillance reports. From 1989 through 1992, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) SENSOR program identified silicosis cases through reports of Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) claims, physician reports, and death certificates. The addition in 1993 of hospital discharge reports as an ascertainment source resulted in a substantial increase in the number of silicosis case reports identified annually (Table 1).

AN - 77209376; 7710294 AB - The etiologic agent(s) that was responsible for the 1981 toxic oil syndrome [TOS] epidemic in Spain has not been identified. Liquid chromatography combined with atmospheric pressure ionization tandem mass spectrometry was used for the analysis of oils associated with TOS. Analyses focused on measuring 3-(N-phenylamino)-1,2-propanediol [PAP], the 3-oleyl ester of PAP [MEPAP], and the 1,2-di-oleyl ester of PAP [DEPAP]. DEPAP and MEPAP were found more frequently and at higher concentrations in TOS case-associated oils than in control oils with odds ratios of 13.7 (95% CI 5.0-38) and 21.9 (95% 6.1-78), respectively. Other fatty acid esters of PAP are also likely to be present in the TOS case-associated oils. More significantly, DEPAP and MEPAP were found in aniline-denatured rapeseed oil refined at ITH, the oil refining company with the clearest link to TOS cases, yet these PAP esters were not detected in unrefined aniline-denatured samples of rapeseed oil delivered to ITH. These results show that the esters of PAP were products of the ITH refining process and were not formed spontaneously during storage. PAP esters were not detected in samples of other aniline-denatured rapeseed oils that were refined elsewhere, and which were not associated with illness. These findings provide strong support for the hypothesis that one or more of the fatty acid esters of PAP were the etiologic agents for TOS.

AN - 77137407; 7844372 AB - Treatment of unsubstantiated Lyme disease has led to serious complications in some cases. Two case-control studies, based on information in clinical records of patients discharged with a diagnosis of Lyme disease during 1990-1992, were conducted at a central New Jersey hospital. Twenty-five patients with biliary disease were identified, and 52 controls were selected from 1352 patients with suspected Lyme disease. Only 3% of 71 evaluatable subjects met the study criteria for disseminated Lyme disease. Patients with biliary disease were more likely than were antibiotic controls to have received ceftriaxone and more likely than ceftriaxone controls to have received a daily ceftriaxone dose > or = 40 mg/kg and to be < or = 18 years old. Fourteen of 25 biliary case-patients underwent cholecystectomy; all had histopathologic evidence of cholecystitis and 12 had gallstones. Thus, treatment of unsubstantiated diagnoses of Lyme disease is associated with biliary complications.

Accurate estimates of and surveillance for occupationally associated TB are limited because reports of incident TB cases lack comprehensive occupational data (1). Although occupation is routinely recorded on death certificates, this information is not routinely coded and entered into vital statistics data files. To identify occupations associated with increased risk for TB mortality, CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) used data from the National Occupational Mortality Surveillance (NOMS) database to conduct a proportionate mortality study of persons with pulmonary TB by occupation for 1979-1990 (the most recent year for which data were available).

AN - 77935109; 8929686 AB - The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in the United States has four methods for monitoring the concentration of crystalline silica dust. They all employ a cyclone for size-selective sampling in the field, but differ primarily in that the laboratory measurement is based on either infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, or colorimetry. The limits of detection for these methods are similar, but their accuracy is poor, particularly at low filter loadings near the current recommended exposure limit (50 mu g center dot m-3). Advances in analytical instrumentation have improved measurement precision. Correction techniques to account for X-ray absorption in samples loaded with nonsilica dust have eliminated one source of bias. Direct analysis on collection filters is a convenient technique that should decrease sample manipulation errors, but it has not been shown to improve precision or accuracy significantly.

AN - 77631095; 8521946 AB - Knowledge of the epidemiology of tobacco use and dependence can be used to guide research initiatives, intervention programs, and policy decisions. Both the reduction in the prevalence of smoking among US adults and black adolescents and the decline in per capita consumption are encouraging. These changes have probably been influenced by factors operating at the individual (e.g., school-based prevention programs and cessation programs) and environmental (e.g., mass media educational strategies, the presence of smoke-free laws and policies, and the price of tobacco products) levels (for a discussion of these factors, see, e.g., refs. 2, 48, 52, 183, and 184). The lack of progress among adolescents, especially whites and males, and the high risk for experimenters of developing tobacco dependence present cause for great concern (48, 183-186). In addition to those discussed above, several areas of research can be recommended. 1. Better understanding of the clustering of tobacco use with the use of other drugs, other risk behaviors, and other psychiatric disorders could better illuminate the causal processes involved, as well as the special features of the interventions needed to prevent and treat tobacco dependence. 2. To better understand population needs, trend analyses of prevalence, initiation, and cessation should, whenever possible, incorporate standardized measures of these other risk factors. Future research should compare the effect of socioeconomic status variables on measures of smoking behavior among racial/ethnic groups in the United States. 3. For reasons that may be genetic, environmental, or both, some persons do not progress beyond initial experimentation with tobacco use (2, 48, 183, 187-192), but about one-third to one-half of those who experiment with cigarettes become regular users (48, 193, 194). Factors, both individual and environmental, that can influence the susceptibility of individuals to tobacco dependence need further attention. 4. To estimate their sensitivity and specificity, comparisons of the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse indicators of dependence with DSM-based criteria are needed. Public health action continues to be warranted to reduce the substantial morbidity and mortality caused by tobacco use (195). A paradigm for such action has been recommended and involves preventing the onset of use, treating tobacco dependence, protecting non-smokers from exposure to secondhand smoke, promoting nonsmoking messages while limiting the effect of tobacco advertising and promotion on young people, increasing the real (inflation-adjusted) price of tobacco products, and regulating tobacco products (186).

Insertional mutants were constructed with mini-Tn10. Ten mutants (F super(-)) which did not react with polyclonal L. pneumophila antiflagellar antisera were identified. Ten randomly selected mutants (F super(+)) that did react with the polyclonal antiflagellar antiserum were also identified. The infectivity of these 20 mutants in Hartmannella vermiformis and human U937 cells was characterized. Seven of the 10 F super(-) mutants were attenuated in their ability to multiply in the amoebae during the first 3 days of coincubation and failed to multiply in U937 cells. Three of the 10 F super(-) mutants multiplied as well as the wild-type parent strain did in amoebae and to a limited degree in U937 cells. None of the 10 F super(+) mutants were attenuated in either the amoebae or U937 cells. While the flagellar structure is not essential for virulence, the ability of L. pneumophila to infect amoebae and human phagocytic cells appears to be linked to flagellar expression. We believe that the attenuated F super(-) mutants contain insertions in genes critical to both flagellum expression and the infection process.

Forty-seven children were treated for suspected or confirmed tuberculosis. Sixty-two percent (21 of 34) were foreign-born (n = 11) or had foreign-born caretakers (n = 10). A source case was found for 10 of 47 (21%) children; for 8 the adult source was diagnosed before the child. One child was human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive, however, 83% of children and 70% of adult source cases did not have human immunodeficiency virus test results available. Health care providers should test children at high risk for tuberculosis infection as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and improve contact tracing to identify children exposed to adults with tuberculosis. Because most cases of tuberculosis in children are diagnosed clinically rather than by isolating Mycobacterium tuberculosis, identification of the source case is important for selecting appropriate treatment.

The study subjects were generally well-informed about the symptoms of the disease. Malaria was perceived as a relatively mild illness, much less severe than acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), measles, difficulty in breathing, and diarrhoea. Self-treatment was extremely common: of 138 episodes of febrile illness, 60% were treated at home with herbal remedies or medicines purchased at local shops, and only 18% received treatment at a health centre or hospital; no treatment was sought by the remainder. Commercially available chloroquine preparations were perceived as more effective than either antipyretics or herbal remedies for the treatment of malaria, and injections were regarded as more effective than oral medications. 4-Aminoquinolines were used to treat 58% of febrile illnesses but in only 12% of the cases was a curative dose of greater than or equal to 25 mg/kg body weight employed. Even attendance at a health centre did not ensure adequate treatment because of the common practice of sharing medication among family members. Greatly increased attention should be paid to the role of home treatment of malaria when policies are being developed for the management of febrile illnesses in sub-Saharan Africa.

To identify her source of infection, close contacts, other day-care children and staff were screened by tuberculin skin test (TST). TB registry and medical/laboratory records were reviewed. The only 2 community TB cases reported in the past 3 years were investigated. Of 164 children 2 were diagnosed with TB; their TSTs were greater than or equal to 10 mm but no specimens were obtained. Six children had TSTs greater than or equal to 5 mm. Of these 4 had TST conversions between December, 1993, and March, 1994. There were no additional positive TST children in June, 1994. No TB case was identified among staff or parents. A possible epidemiologic link with the index case was found for 1 community case. No source of infection was found for the other children. Possible explanations for not finding a source are: an as yet unidentified case in the day-care center or community; or false positive TST results in children related to low community prevalence of TB infection.

To identify serotypes most commonly associated with infection in young children, pneumococcal isolates were serotyped from 3884 children <6 years old (including 3007 <2 years old) with pneumococcal bacteremia (n = 3169), meningitis (n = 401), or otitis media (n = 314). The isolates were submitted as part of a national surveillance during 1978-1994. Seven serotypes (14, 6B, 19F, 18C, 23F, 4, and 9V) accounted for 3045 isolates (78%). A conjugate pneumococcal vaccine protecting against these seven serotypes and serologically cross-reactive serotypes could potentially prevent 86% of bacteremia and 83% of meningitis but only 65% of otitis media cases. The proportion of isolates covered by such a vaccine increased from 78% to 87% during 1978-1994. Surveillance for pneumococcal serotypes causing infection is needed to detect shifts in serotype distribution over time.

Two electrophoretic types (ETs) were identified among toxigenic sub( )isolates from Latin America: 323 were ET 4, the ET associated with the Latin American epidemic, and 29 were ET 3. Twenty-three of these ET 3 isolates had a distinctive antimicrobial resistance pattern also seen in isolates imported into the United States from Latin America and Southeast Asia. These resistant isolates had an identical ribotype and nearly identical pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns. Most nontoxigenic isolates analyzed were not precursors or descendants of toxigenic epidemic strains. MEE provided a population genetic framework for the interpretation of PFGE and ribotype data from the isolates in this study. All three methods identified 2 distinct strains of toxigenic V. cholerae O1 currently epidemic in Latin America.

In-line skating is popular because of its affordability and its exercise and recreational value. The main risk factors for injury include speed, obstacles and hard surfaces. Using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System in US hospitals, 31 000 skaters were reported injured over a 12 month period. Fractures, dislocations, sprains, strains and avulsion made up 67% of all injuries. It is recommended that skaters wear protection equipment including, helmet, wrist guards, knee-pads and elbow-pads. Although head injuries from skating appear low in numbers, helmet protection is also recommended. Further studies are required that assess risk factors for injury and environmental and behavioural aspects.

We identify issues that are of particular concern for surveillance in child-care settings. We propose a framework for developing public health surveillance systems that uses sentinel child-care sites, notifiable disease surveillance, modification of existing surveillance systems, and population surveys. Successful surveillance in these settings depends on the active participation of child-care providers, public health practitioners, and clinicians in (a) the selection of high priority diseases and injuries for surveillance; (b) the development of practical case definitions; (c) the augmentation of current surveillance systems to include disease and injury related to child care; and (d) the implementation, assessment, dissemination, and evaluation of new approaches for surveillance in child-care settings.

In addition, susceptibilities of 12 isolates to amoxicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were also determined. Isolates also were serotyped with a panel of monoclonal antibodies specific for chlamydial major outer membrane protein; 24 of 45 (53%) belonged to serovars Ia and E. For all isolates, the MIC range of doxycycline was 0.008 to 0.06 mu g/ml, for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole it was 0.03 to 0.25 mu g/ml, for azithromycin it was 0.125 to 2.0 mu g/ml, for ofloxacin it was 0.5 to 1.0 mu g/ml, for clindamycin it was 0.25 to 2.0 mu g/ml, and for amoxicillin it was 0.25 to 4.0 mu g/ml. The ranges of minimum chlamydiacidal concentrations were generally 1 to 4 dilutions above the MICs of most agents, with a rank order similar to those of the MICs. Comparing the minimum chlamydiacidal concentrations for 90% of isolates tested, isolates causing asymptomatic infection belonged to a greater variety of serovars and were relatively more susceptible to doxycycline and azithromycin than isolates causing mucopurulent cervicitis or pelvic inflammatory disease; these differences in susceptibility were not detected among the other study agents. These data indicate that additional studies are needed to better define the apparent association of certain chlamydial serovars with the clinical severity of disease and the in vitro susceptibilities to certain antimicrobial agents.

Agricultural workers are particularly at risk due to increased likelihood of exposure to rodents in rural environments. The family Arenaviridae includes Lassa virus, which causes Lassa fever in West Africa, and four South American hemorrhagic fever viruses, Junin, Machupo, Guanarito, and Sabia. Junin, Machupo, and Guanarito viruses affect rural populations in agricultural districts of Argentina, Bolivia, and Venezuela, respectively, and cause up to 30% mortality. The only known naturally acquired case of Sabia virus infection resulted in a fatality in Brazil. At least three members of the genus Hantavirus (Hantaan, Seoul, and Puumala viruses), family Bunyaviridae, cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in Europe and Asia, and result in more than 200,000 cases annually with <1% to 10% mortality. Sin Nombre virus is responsible for hantavirus pulmonary syndrome that has resulted in about 100 cases, with greater than 50% mortality since its discovery in the southwestern U.S. in 1993. We discuss the etiology, epidemiology, clinical features, treatment and prevention of these diseases, with special emphasis on their relevance to agriculture.

A case-control study of 120 people among guests who had stayed at the hotel produced 51 who met the case definition. There was a significant association between the case definition and swimming in the hotel swimming pool (odds ratio equal to 9.8) and consuming ice from ice machines (odds ratio equal to 2.3). When only laboratory confirmed cases were included swimming pool use was the only significant risk (odds ratio equal to 13.0). The timing of the swimming activities of cases suggested that the cause was unrecognized faecal accidents in the swimming pool, possibly following an earlier outbreak in Milwaukee.

AN - 76827850; 7969014 AB - Surveillance of tobacco use is an essential component of any tobacco-control program. The information gathered can be used to guide research initiatives, intervention programs, and policy decisions. REPORTING PERIODS: This report covers the period 1900-1994 for per capita cigarette consumption; 1965-1991 for trends in cigarette smoking prevalence and cessation; 1974-1991 for trends in the number of cigarettes smoked daily by current smokers; 1987-1991 for recent patterns of tobacco use; 1970, 1987, and 1991 for trends in cigar/pipe smoking and snuff/chewing tobacco use; 1984-1992 for trends in state-specific prevalences of regular cigarette smoking; 1987-1992 for state-specific estimates of smokeless-tobacco use; and 1976-1993 for trends in cigarette smoking among U.S. high school seniors. Estimates of cigarette consumption are reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which uses data from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Tobacco Institute, and other sources. The National Health Interview Survey uses household interviews to provide nationally representative estimates (for the civilian, noninstitutionalized population) of cigarette smoking and other behaviors related to tobacco use. The Behavioral Risk Factor surveillance System uses telephone surveys of civilian, noninstitutionalized adults (> or = 18 years of age) to provide state-specific estimates of current cigarette smoking and use of smokeless tobacco. The University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research uses school-based, self-administered questionnaires to gather data on cigarette smoking from a representative sample of U.S. high school seniors. During the period 1900-1963, per capita cigarette consumption increased; after 1964, consumption declined. During the years 1965-1991, current cigarette smoking prevalence among persons ages > or = 18 years declined overall and in every sociodemographic category examined. Decrease in current smoking prevalence was slow in some groups (e.g., among persons with fewer years of formal education). Both the prevalence of never smoking and the prevalence of cessation increased from 1965 through 1991. The prevalence of current cigarette smoking, any tobacco smoking, and any tobacco use was highest among American Indians/Alaska Natives and non-Hispanic blacks and lowest among Asians/Pacific Islanders. The prevalence of cigar smoking and pipe smoking has declined substantially since 1970. The prevalence of smokeless-tobacco use among white males ages 18-34 years was higher in 1987 and 1991 than in 1970; among persons > or = 45 years of age, the use of smokeless tobacco was more common among blacks than whites in 1970 and 1987. Cigarette smoking prevalence has decreased in most states. The prevalence of smokeless tobacco use was especially high among men in West Virginia, Montana, and several southern states. From 1984-1993, prevalence of cigarette smoking remained constant among U.S. high school seniors. However, prevalence increased slightly for male seniors and white seniors, decreased slightly for female high school seniors, and decreased sharply for black high school seniors. With the exceptions of increases in cigarette smoking among white and male high school seniors and in the use of smokeless tobacco among white males ages 18-34 years, reductions in tobacco use occurred in every subgroup examined. This decrease must continue if the national health objectives for the year 2000 are to be reached. Surveillance of tobacco use is ongoing. Effective interventions that discourage initiation and encourage cessation are being disseminated throughout the United States. JF - MMWR.

AN - 76766657; 7935314 AB - Legislation regulating smoking has at least two functions: to protect nonsmokers from the adverse health effects of environmental tobacco smoke and to prevent young persons from smoking (1). To characterize public attitudes toward such legislation, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the American Cancer Society used the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to survey persons in eight states during July-August 1993 as part of the American Stop Smoking Intervention Study for Cancer Prevention (2).

AN - 77791594; 7704308 AB - The bacterial parathion hydrolase gene (opd) was expressed in transformed D. melanogaster under the control of an hsp70 promoter. Transformed lines carrying chimaeric genes designed for either cytoplasmic or secretory expression exhibited high- or low-level heat-shock-inducible transient resistance to paraoxon respectively. Greatest levels of resistance occurred approximately 12-16 h after heat shock and well after periods of maximal transcription. Insecticide resistance conferred by the cytoplasmic form of opd is expressed as a semidominant trait.

AN - 76776764; 7935307 AB - In 1992 (the latest year for which data are available), more than 1.6 million persons in the United States (approximately 1% of licensed drivers) were arrested for driving while impaired (DWI) (1). Persons arrested for DWI are at substantially greater risk for future death in a motor-vehicle crash involving alcohol than those who have not been arrested for DWI, and this risk increases directly in relation to the number of DWI arrests (2). In addition, drivers convicted for DWI are at greater risk of being involved in a fatal crash, regardless of whether they are killed (3).

AN - 76776676; 7935305 AB - Cigarettes and other forms of tobacco are addictive because of the presence of nicotine(1). Among adults in the United States who have ever smoked daily, 91.3% tried their first cigarette and 77.0% became daily smokers before age 20 years (2). Among high school seniors who had ever tried smokeless tobacco (SLT), 73% did so by the ninth grade (2). To further characterize the development of nicotine addiction among persons aged 10-22 years, CDC analyzed data from the 1993 Teenage Attitudes and Practices Survey (TAPS-II). This report summarizes the results of that analysis and focuses on assessments of reasons for using tobacco and symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. JF - MMWR.

AN - 76765164; 7935306 AB - Lead poisoning is a major environmental health problem for children in the United States (1,2): during 1988-1991, approximately 1.7 million U.S. children aged 1-5 years had elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) (> or = 10 micrograms/dL) (3). To determine the source of lead exposure for children with BLLs > or = 20 micrograms/dL, the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) conducts environmental investigations. In 1993, as a result of investigations of increased BLLs in two children in southwestern Arizona, ADHS detected lead levels approximately 30 times the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb) in bulk-delivered drinking water in the homes of these children. Because two of the three companies that supplied bulk water to southwestern Arizona were based in California, ADHS notified the California State Department of Health Services (CSDHS) about the problem. As a result, CSDHS conducted a separate investigation and identified one child with an elevated BLL whose drinking water sources included bulk-delivered water with lead levels exceeding EPA standards. This report summarizes the investigations of elevated BLLs in these three children and high lead levels in bulk-delivered drinking water in Arizona and California. JF - MMWR.

AN - 77756817; 7860177 AB - In January 1992, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico sustained unusually heavy rainfall, which caused flash floods and deaths. We conducted a descriptive study and a case-control study to determine the circumstances of these deaths and to identify mortality-prevention strategies. We describe the time, place, and circumstances of each death, and compare this information with water-level and rainfall data and the timing of warnings. Using controls selected from the affected population, we estimated the risk of death by age, sex, and vehicle occupancy during the flood. Within 7 hours, 23 people died in 17 incidents; 20 of the decedents (87%) were occupants of motor vehicles. The estimated risk of mortality was significantly elevated for motorists (odds ratio = 16, 95% confidence interval: 3.5-144). Being in a vehicle to evacuate a flash flood area was protective; however, being in a vehicle during the flood for other reasons further increased the risk of mortality. Deaths occurred early during the rapid rise of water and before official warnings were issued. We recommend improving the sensitivity of the warning system and its ability to disseminate appropriate information rapidly.

A total of 87% (224/258) had throat culture tests. Group A streptococcus was isolated from 57 (25%), and of the 50 isolates serotyped, 38 (76%) were T-1. Group A streptococcal T-1 prevalence was 18% (38 /217) and six of nine rooms had children with group A streptococcal T-1 isolates. The risk of group A streptococcal T-1 carriage was increased for children who shared the index case's room (odds ratio (OR) = 2.7; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.8 to 9.4) and for each additional hour per week in child care (OR = 1.03; 95% CI = 1.001 to 1.061); and decreased in children taking antibiotics in the preceding four weeks (OR = 0.2; 95% CI = 0.1 to 0.9). Carriage of the invasive group A streptococcal strain could not be determined by identified risk factors alone.

Although some common ferns may be poisonous or carcinogenic, this species has been considered to be nontoxic. However, in May 1994, outbreaks of food poisoning were associated with eating raw or lightly cooked fiddlehead ferns in New York and western Canada.

This condition may be associated with exposure to nitrate-contaminated drinking water, aniline dyes, and amide-containing medications. Ortho-toluidine, a metabolite of the anesthetic prilocaine, also can induce this condition (1). During March-August 1993, three Wisconsin women treated by the same oral surgeon developed methemoglobinemia after being injected with a prilocaine-based local anesthetic. The surgeon notified the Division of Health, Wisconsin Department of Health and Social Services, of these cases 1 week after the third case occurred. This report summarizes the case investigations.

AN - 76634565; 8047057 AB - Extensive media coverage of work-related homicides at U.S. Postal Service facilities raised the concern about whether postal workers are at increased risk for work-related homicide, particularly from those committed by disgruntled coworkers. Based on national surveillance data, neither the Postal Service industry nor postal occupations are among the groups at increased risk for work-related homicide. To further assess this concern and to determine the relative magnitude of occupational injury deaths in the Postal Service, CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) used data from its National Traumatic Occupational Fatalities (NTOF) surveillance system to examine occupational injury deaths in the Postal Service and compare Postal Service fatality rates with overall rates for all U.S. industries.

AN - 76603588; 8035771 AB - Since the late 1970s, ongoing contamination of the U.S. environment by lead has been substantially reduced as major uses of lead in house paint, gasoline, water-distribution systems, and food cans have been eliminated or reduced (1). During the 1980s, blood lead data from both selected populations and convenience samples indicated a continuation of the decline in blood lead levels (BLLs) (2) observed during 1976-1980 during the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II) (3). However, research during the past two decades has demonstrated adverse health effects at BLLs previously considered to be safe (1).

AN - 76590672; 8030627 AB - Results of clinical and epidemiologic studies have shown an increased risk for neural tube defects (NTD) in infants whose mothers were exposed to heat during pregnancy. However, the risk for NTD in infants whose mothers had influenza during pregnancy has not been well studied. This population-based case-control study of infants born in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, from 1968 through 1980 included 385 infants with NTD, 3,647 infants with other birth defects, and 2,676 infants without birth defects. Of the 385 mothers of case infants, 31 reported having a 2-day or longer episode of flu with fever from 1 month before through 3 months after conception (odds ratio (OR) = 3.0; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.9-4.7). Infants of mothers who took medications for their episodes of flu with fever had an even higher risk for NTD (OR = 4.3, 95% CI 2.6-7.1). When mothers of infants with birth defects other than NTD were used as controls, an increased risk of NTD remained for flu with fever (OR = 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.5). There was no increased risk for NTD among the infants of mothers who reported fever from causes other than flu. Because of the heterogeneity of maternal flu, the individual contributions of infection, fever, and medications remain difficult to disentangle.

AN - 76624221; 8041853 AB - Each year, it is estimated that from 350,000 to 739,000 U.S. infants are exposed in utero to one or more illicit drugs. To estimate the prevalence of and risk factors for illicit drug use by women of childbearing age in Alabama, during 2 months in 1991 the authors collected patient-reported histories, clinical histories, and urine specimens from 6,195 women statewide attending public health maternity clinics, family planning clinics, and a high-risk referral obstetrical clinic. Blind drug screening of urine specimens for marijuana, cocaine, opiates, barbiturates, and amphetamines was performed with the use of a fluorescent polarization immunoassay. The overall prevalence of positive results for drugs tested was 10.1 percent, including 8.4 percent of the 3,554 pregnant and 12.3 percent of the 2,571 nonpregnant women screened. The drugs most frequently detected were marijuana and cocaine. Characteristics of the subjects associated with a higher prevalence of positive results for any drug tested or for marijuana included white race, older age, being divorced, non student occupation, having 12 or less years of education, attending a clinic located in a suburban county, self-reported substance use, increased risk for human immunodeficiency virus infection, and reproductive history. Characteristics of women with positive screening for cocaine results were similar to those who tested positive for any drug, except that the prevalence of cocaine was higher among black women and those attending urban county clinics and did not vary by years of education. Patient-reported histories of drug use were insensitive in identifying women who had positive drug screening results (sensitivity, 6.3 percent; specificity, 98.2 percent). Thus, in this study,the use of illicit drugs among women of childbearing age attending public clinics in Alabama was common and emphasizes the need for targeted drug education and interventions to reduce the impact of drug use on this high-risk population.

AN - 76561643; 8013122 AB - Recent advances in techniques to measure markers of exposure to environmental toxicants in humans are changing the ways in which environmental scientists, epidemiologists, and policymakers characterize and interpret such exposure. In this article we review some major technical and scientific developments in exposure marker methodology for estimating internal dose, with special reference to studies conducted at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We consider important characteristics of laboratory methods, advances in laboratory technology, analytical standards, and quality assurance of laboratory measurements; comparisons with indirect methods for estimating exposures, such as exposure indices and questionnaires; human pharmacokinetic data; sampling problems; surveillance of human exposures to toxicants; and interpretation of measurements. With a view to increasing the reliability of exposure assessment, we make recommendations for obtaining more data on human exposure to toxicants.

AN - 76530829; 8202077 AB - Sharing (i.e., multiperson use) of drug-injection equipment among injecting-drug users (IDUs) is a major risk factor in the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other bloodborne pathogens. Abstaining from injection of drugs eliminates this risk; disinfection of needles and syringes with household bleach can reduce this risk. Because studies suggest the effectiveness of bleach disinfection may be limited, the March 1993 National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Community Alert Bulletin included recommendations that IDUs who do not stop injecting and sharing injection equipment use full-strength household bleach and keep the bleach in contact with the equipment for at least 30 seconds (1). To determine whether these new recommendations had been disseminated effectively to IDUs, the knowledge of bleach use for disinfection of drug-injection equipment among IDUs participating in a NIDA-sponsored New York City cohort study was assessed during August-December 1993. This report presents data about knowledge of bleach use for disinfection among persons who reported injecting drugs at least once during the 3-6 months preceding the interview. JF - MMWR.

AN - 76510643; 8003111 AB - Approximately 100,000 childbearing-aged women in the United States are infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and an estimated 7000 infants are born to HIV-positive mothers each year. In the United States, the rate of perinatal transmission of HIV among mothers who do not receive antiretroviral therapy is 15%-30%. Results from a recent multicenter randomized double-blind clinical trial suggest that treatment of HIV-positive mothers and their infants with zidovudine (ZDV) may substantially reduce the risk for perinatal HIV transmission. However, any potential risk for adverse outcomes associated with use of antiretrovirals during pregnancy should be considered.

In 1992, a total of 5546 pedestrians were killed as a result of motor-vehicle crashes, and 96,000 suffered nonfatal injuries. Because of the effects of alcohol on attention, perception, vision, judgment, and motor control, intoxicated pedestrians are at increased risk for unintentional injury. Although alcohol consumption by pedestrians is an important contributing factor to motor-vehicle crashes in which pedestrians are injured, characteristics of intoxicated pedestrians who are killed as a result of such crashes have not been well defined.

AN - 76445419; 8162885 AB - Asthma prevalence and mortality due to asthma have been increasing during the last decade, and both the rates and the increases in rates have been higher for blacks than whites and higher for children than adults. Whether environmental factors such as air pollution contribute to these increases is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between emergency visits to a hospital for childhood asthma and exposure to ozone in an indigent, predominantly black population. Data were collected by abstracting clinical records for all children with asthma or reactive airway disease in one public hospital during the summer of 1990. From June 1, 1990, to August 31, 1990, 609 visits were made by children aged 1 to 16 years to an emergency clinic for treatment of asthma or reactive airway disease. Monitoring data indicated that maximum ozone levels equalled or exceeded 0.11 ppm on 6 days during the study period. The average number of visits for asthma or reactive airway disease was 37% higher on the days after those 6 days (from 6:00 PM to 6:00 PM the next day) than on other days (95% CI, RR = 1.02-1.73). The results of the study suggest that among black children from low-income families, asthma may be exacerbated following periods of high ozone pollution.

AN - 76389561; 8127326 AB - Although outbreaks of Escherichia coli O157:H7 have been linked to consumption of contaminated ground beef, the organism is rarely isolated from the implicated meat. In addition, most epidemiologic investigations of illness associated with E. coli O157:H7 infections have been directed at restaurant-associated outbreaks, and the sources of infection for sporadic cases rarely have been identified. In July 1993, three cases of culture-confirmed E. coli O157:H7 infection among persons residing in a small community in California were traced to consumption of hamburger purchased from a local grocery store; E. coli O157:H7 was isolated from that meat.

AN - 76338817; 8295631 AB - Improperly disposed hazardous chemical substances are a common source for contamination of drinking water wells. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and other environmental and public health agencies have recommended that exposure-reduction procedures (i.e., provision of alternative water supplies and construction of new water supplies) be implemented when drinking water wells are contaminated with hazardous substances in concentrations that approach or exceed levels potentially associated with adverse health outcomes in humans. Once these procedures are implemented, the original wells should not be used as sources for drinking water. This report summarizes two cases in which contaminated drinking water wells were being used even though health advisories had been issued to discontinue use of the wells. JF - MMWR.

AN - 76379999; 8119348 AB - To determine risk factors for cholera in an epidemic-disease area in South America, a case-control investigation was performed in Guayaquil, Ecuador, in July 1991. Residents > 5 years old who were hospitalized for treatment of acute, watery diarrhoea and two matched controls for each were interviewed regarding sources of water and food, and eating, drinking, and hygienic habits. Interviewers inspected homes of case-patients and controls to document water treatment, food-handling, and hygienic practices. Faecal specimens and shellfish were cultured for Vibrio cholerae O 1. Isolates were tested for susceptibility to a variety of antimicrobial agents. Drinking unboiled water (odds ratio [OR] = 4.0, confidence interval [CI] = 1.8-7.5), drinking a beverage from a street vendor (OR = 2.8, CI = 1.3-5.9), eating raw seafood (OR = 3.4, CI = 1.4-11.5), and eating cooked crab (OR = 5.1, CI = 1.4-19.2) were associated with illness. Always boiling drinking water at home (OR = 0.5, CI = 0.2-0.9) was protective against illness. The presence of soap in either the kitchen (OR = 0.3, CI = 0.2-0.8) or bathroom (OR = 0.4, CI = 0.2-0.9) at home was also protective. V. cholerae O 1 was recovered from a pooled sample of a bivalve mollusc and from 68% of stool samples from case-patients. Thirty-six percent of the isolates from stool specimens were resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents. Specific prevention measures may prevent transmission through these vehicles in the future. The appearance of antimicrobial resistance suggests the need for changes in current methods of prevention and treatment.

AN - 76327795; 8272048 AB - Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a leading preventable cause of birth defects and mental retardation in the United States (1). To reduce alcohol exposure to the developing fetus and to modify health-related behaviors, public health professionals and policy makers require effective methodologies to identify at-risk populations and develop strategies for preventing this problem. In Alaska, the prevalence of FAS is higher than the national average (2). Because of the need for information to assist in planning prevention programs, identifying training needs for service providers, and monitoring changes in factors related to FAS in target populations, the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (ADHSS), the Indian Health Service (IHS), and CDC have conducted surveys to measure relevant knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors (KABBs) in selected populations in Alaska. This report summarizes survey findings during 1991 and 1993 regarding the prevalence of alcohol consumption by and characteristics of women of childbearing age in Alaska and FAS-related KABBs in Alaska residents.

AN - 76911717; 7806395 AB - Between March and November of 1991, approximately 9000 workers from 43 different countries battled the burning oil wells in Kuwait. To document the exposure of persons in Kuwait during the oil well fires to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), we obtained samples of blood from 14 U.S. personnel in Kuwait City in May of 1991 (group I) and 40 American firefighters working in the oil fields in October of 1991 (group II). Concentrations of VOCs in group I and group II were compared with those of a random sample of 114 persons in the United States (reference group). The median concentrations of VOCs in group I were equal to or lower than those in the reference group. We found significant differences between the median concentrations of several VOCs in group II and the reference group. Median levels of ethylbenzene were about 10 times higher among group II than among the reference group (0.53 microgram/l vs 0.052 microgram/l). Median levels of benzene, m-/p-xylene, o-xylene, styrene, and toluene among group II were more than double those of the reference group. Although firefighters had higher median concentrations of VOCs than the reference group, those American personnel in Kuwait not involved in fighting the oil fires had concentrations of VOCs comparable to those in the reference group. Blood VOC measurements indicate a significant increase in exposure to VOCs in firefighters, but do not demonstrate this in personnel in Kuwait City.

AN - 76344956; 8303006 AB - The 1990 Smoking Activity Volunteer Executed Survey collected information on a wide range of policy-relevant issues concerning public attitudes about cigarette smoking. These issues include cigarette taxes, advertising restrictions, minors' access to tobacco products, school-based prevention, and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in workplaces and public areas. Survey data were collected during the spring and summer months of 1990 from random samples of adults from Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Telephone interviews were conducted by trained American Cancer Society volunteers using standardized questionnaires. Cluster sampling techniques, interviewer training and supervision, and data collection procedures were designed in conformity with the methodology of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Smoking prevalence ranged from a low of approximately 20 percent in Texas to a high of 31 percent in Michigan. Between 60 and 69 percent of the respondents in the four States, including between 44 and 71 percent of current smokers, believe tobacco should be classified as a drug. Around 65 percent of the respondents would support an extra tax on tobacco to finance public campaigns against smoking, and between 61 percent and 69 percent favor banning cigarette advertising in the print media and on billboards. More than 82 percent of the respondents believe that stronger laws should be enacted to prevent the sale of tobacco products to minors, and more than 86 percent believe that existing laws should be better enforced. Current smokers were only slightly less likely than were former and never smokers to indicate support of policy changes to prevent minors'access to tobacco products; the two groups had somewhat more disagreement in the amount of support for the other smoking control policies.Finally, although between 62 and 88 percent of working respondents reported the presence of smoking restrictions at their workplace, between 26 and 48 percent still reported being bothered by smoking at work.These study findings suggest that existing smoking control policies are not restrictive enough or are inadequately enforced. The study documents strong public concern in the four States about the in adequacy of current policies and support for the enactment of stronger legislation to control smoking behavior.

To evaluate the specificity of the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for human Q fever, we compared the ELISA results with those of the indirect immunofluorescence antibody (IFA) test. The ELISA data were analyzed by two different criteria for a positive test. The first criterion for positive results by ELISA was based upon diagnostic antibody titers established in a study of 150 subjects who had no demonstrable cellular or humoral immune responses to C. burnetii phase I or phase II whole cells or phase I lipopolysaccharide. The second criterion was based upon diagnostic antibody titers in a study of 51 subjects who had been diagnosed as having clinical Q fever and had fourfold or greater rises in humoral immune responses to C. burnetii phase I and phase II whole-cell antigens. A comparison of the ELISA and IFA test results of the 95 serum specimens indicated excellent agreement between the tests (Kappa = 92.9%). None of the 38 patients whose etiologies were confirmed serologically as Legionnaires' disease or rickettsial diseases other than Q fever were classified as positive for C. burnetii by the ELISA. Only one patient identified by the IFA test as having Q fever was not scored positive by the ELISA.

Periodic medical record reviews. More than 90 clinics, hospitals, and private medical practices in nine cities. HIV-infected individuals aged greater than or equal to 13 years were included in the analyses of pneumococcal (n = 9737) and influenza (n = 6161) vaccination coverage. Documentation of receipt of pneumococcal and influenza vaccines in medical records during 6-18-month and 12-month periods, respectively. Overall, 37 and 33% of individuals received pneumococcal and influenza vaccines, respectively. In general, vaccination levels varied little by age group, race/ethnicity, or mode of HIV exposure. Having had at least five medical visits was significantly associated with having received pneumococcal and influenza vaccines [adjusted odds ratio (OR), 1.7 for each]. Having a CD4+ T-lymphocyte count <200 x 10 super(6)/l (adjusted OR, 0.8) and being female (adjusted OR, 0.7) were associated with non-receipt of pneumococcal vaccine. Lower pneumococcal vaccination coverage among women was mostly accounted for by pregnancy. Until new, more effective means of preventing pneumococcal disease and influenza become available, efforts should be directed towards improving vaccination levels among HIV-infected individuals.

Public health professionals have long been comfortable in providing the scientific knowledge base required in policy development. What has been more recent in its evolution, however, is recognition that they must also play an active role in leading and shaping the debate over policy. A profile of effective State legislative policy "entrepreneurs" and their strategies has been developed to assist health agencies in developing such a leadership position. Based on the experiences of State legislative liaison officers, specific strategies for dealing with State legislatures have been identified and are organized into five key areas-agency organization, staff skills, communications, negotiation, and active ongoing involvement. A public health agency must be organized effectively to participate in the legislative policy process. Playing a key role in the agency's political interventions, the legislative liaison office should be staffed with persons possessing excellent interpersonal skills and a high degree of technical competence. Of central importance to effective legislative policy entrepreneurship is the ability to communicate the agency's position clearly. Once a matter is on the legislative agenda, the agency must be prepared to negotiate and build broad support for the measure. Finally, public health agencies must be active policy players. To take advantage of new opportunities for action, the public health (policy) leader must monitor the political environment continually.

We used congener-specific and total Aroclor quantitative approaches, both of which involved gas chromatography with electron capture detection. Using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (electron ionization mode), we confirmed the presence of PCBs in the combined serum samples and in the aliquots of bluefish and lobsters. In measuring the PCB levels in serum, we found good agreement between the two electron capture detector approaches when the serum of specific congeners was compared to total Aroclor. We used univariate and multivariate quality control approaches to monitor these analyses. Analytical results for bluefish showed a better agreement between the two techniques than did those for lobsters; however, the small number of samples precluded any statistical comparison.

Among 54 children who had not moved or received chelation therapy and whose blood lead levels were measured 10-14 months after diagnosis, the geometric mean blood lead level decreased 23% among children living in remediated dwellings (n = 37) and 12% among children in nonremediated dwellings (n = 17) (p = 0.07, t test). Among lead-poisoned children in St. Louis, children whose dwellings undergo lead-based paint hazard remediation have a greater decline in geometric mean blood lead level than do children whose dwellings do not, but the effect of remediation may be influenced by the blood lead level at diagnosis.

This paper presents an analysis of nonfatal (1981 through 1986) and fatal (1980 through 1989) traumatic occupational injuries in the construction industry using the Supplementary Data System and the National Traumatic Occupational Fatalities data bases. The lost workday case rate in construction was 10.1 per 100 full-time workers, which was nearly 2.5 times the occupational injury rate for all industries combined. The construction industry had an overall fatality rate of 25.6 per 100,000 full-time workers. This rate was more than 3.5 times the occupational fatality rate for all industries in the United States for the same period. To prevent occupational injuries and fatalities in the construction industry, intervention measures need to target specific occupations: machine operators, transportation workers, and craftspeople. Intervention measures also need to target such causes of injury as falls, electrocutions, and motor vehicle incidents. JF - J. OCCUP. MED.

The method uses a color indicator to detect growth of microorganisms within the wells of a microdilution tray. The color changes can be read visually or with a fluorometer. The system contains growth and sterility control wells and 20 antimicrobial agents per MIC tray with eight twofold dilutions for each antimicrobial agent. We tested 186 multiresistant, gram-negative bacterial isolates against 33 antimicrobial agents and compared the results to those obtained by agar dilution. Categorical agreement for all agents was 90.9% and ranged from 78.2% for ampicillin-sulbactam to 98.1% for amikacin. Percent agreement for MIC results (within plus or minus 1 log sub(2) dilution) was 91.0% for all agents and ranged from 69.1% for gentamicin to 97.9% for ciprofloxacin. Most of the disagreements were with the penicillins and cephalosporins for beta -lactamase-producing strains. The Alamar MIC system is very easy to read visually and appears to be a satisfactory addition to currently used MIC determination methods.

We compared a conventional ELISA method using a beta -galactosidase anti-human IgG conjugate developed with ONPG, with an amplification ELISA system constituted of an anti-human IgG biotinylated conjugate, a streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase complex, and NADP as a substrate. The resulting NAD was measured by using a redox enzymatic recycling system of alcohol dehydrogenase, diaphorase and iodonitrotetrazolium as chromogen. With specificity set at 92.31% in both methods, we obtained a sensitivity of 42.86% in the conventional method and a sensitivity of 61.22% in the amplified method. We conclude that by using a more sensitive method we can detect cases that otherwise could be identified as false negatives.

Cultures of rodent ear tissue and ticks yielded 63 spirochetal isolates: 38 N. mexicana, 2 Peromyscus difficilis, and 23 I. spinipalpis. All 63 isolates were identified as B. burgdorferi sensu lato by polymerase chain reaction; a representative subset was characterized as B. burgdorferi by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting. A tick-derived spirochete isolate was infectious to laboratory mice and I. scapularis, the principal vector of Lyme disease in endemic areas of the United States. The risk of human contact with infected I. spinipalpis appears to be minimal from this epidemiologically silent focus in northern Colorado, since this tick is restricted to wood rat nests in this semiarid environment.

Linear increases in resistance were observed for Enterobacter species and K. pneumoniae. One hospital experienced a dramatic rise from 1.0% in 1987-1989 to 40% in 1990-1991 (P < .001) in ceftazidime resistance among K. pneumoniae isolates. No increase was observed during this period for P. aeruginosa. Logistic regression analysis confirmed these trends (or the lack thereof) for Enterobacter species and P. aeruginosa; for K. pneumoniae, ceftazidime resistance was found to be increasing among isolates from teaching hospitals and intensive care units. Ceftazidime resistance is an emerging problem that has the potential for dramatic increases. Selective pressures for the development of ceftazidime resistance need to be identified and addressed.

Records were searched to see if persons treated for gonorrhea returned with primary syphilis 3-45 days after treatment or secondary syphilis 15-90 days after treatment. The number of persons treated was adjusted for the prevalence of syphilis in the year of treatment. Between 1985 and 1992, 98,441 persons were treated for gonorrhea. Syphilis was diagnosed in an interval that suggested it was incubating at the time of the treatment for 5.6/10 super(4) (adjusted number) persons treated with spectinomycin alone (a regimen not expected to eradicate syphilis); 2.9/10 super(4) persons treated with spectinomycin plus tetracycline, doxycycline, or erythromycin; and 2.1/10 super(4) persons treated with ceftriaxone plus tetracycline, doxycycline, or erythromycin. Incubating syphilis was rare despite a syphilis epidemic. The effectiveness of a regimen for eradicating incubating syphilis should not be a major consideration when choosing gonorrhea therapy.

To examine this possibility, sera of schistosomiasis patients in various clinical groups were assayed for the presence of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1) and soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin). Comparisons were made between groups with different infection intensities (as predicted by fecal egg count) as well as between groups with severe (hepatosplenic) or milder (intestinal) pathology. All groups had elevated levels of sICAM-1 compared with controls. Also, patients in the high egg-excreting and hepatosplenic groups had significantly higher levels of serum sICAM-1 than patients in the low-egg-excreting and intestinal groups, respectively. The levels of sE-selectin were significantly elevated in the sera of all patients except those in the hepatosplenic group compared with controls. Patients in the intestinal group had significantly higher levels of sE-selectin in their sera than did hepatosplenic group patients, but serum sE-selectin levels of high- and low-egg-excreting patients were comparable. A striking finding of this study was the inverse correlation observed between sICAM-1 levels and peripheral blood mononuclear cell responses to schistosome soluble egg antigens (SEA) but not with responses to other schistosome antigens, purified protein derivative, or mitogen. Because ICAM-1 can perform a costimulatory function in antigen-presenting cell-T cell interactions, it is possible that shedding of ICAM-1 in the granuloma microenvironment interrupts proper costimulation, leading to unresponsive SEA-specific T cells.

AN - 16680333; 3692262 AB - The authors sought to determine whether current cigarette smoking was associated with impotence among middle-aged men. This is a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional survey of 4,462 US Army Vietnam-era veterans aged 31-49 years who took part in the Vietnam Experience Study in 1985-1986. The main outcome measurement was the odds ratio for reported impotence, which was calculated by comparing current smokers with nonsmokers while controlling for multiple confounders. The study sample consisted of 1,162 never smokers, 1,292 former smokers, and 2,008 current smokers. The prevalence of impotence was 2.2% among never smokers, 2.0% among former smokers, and 3.7% among current smokers (p = 0.005). The unadjusted odds ratio (OR) of the association between smoking and reported impotence was 1.8 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2-2.6). The association held even after adjustments were made for confounders, including vascular disease, psychiatric disease, hormonal factors, substance abuse, marital status, race, and age (OR = 1.5, 95% CI 1.0-2.2). Neither years smoked nor cigarettes smoked daily were significant predictors of impotence in current smokers. The authors concluded that, among the men in this study, a higher percentage of cigarette smokers reported impotence than did nonsmokers. This observation could not be totally explained by comorbidity factors related to smoking. JF - American Journal of Epidemiology AU - Mannino, D M AU - Klevens, R M AU - Flanders, W D AD - Natl.

Data from 148 patients who underwent 480 interventional radiologic biliary procedures were evaluated for evidence of bloodstream infection. Data analyzed included type of procedure performed, whether an antibiotic was used, and evidence of infectious complications occurring during and within 72 hours after the procedure. All culture data obtained before and after the procedure were recorded. Seven cases of new bloodstream infection were identified, five of which were caused by Enterococcus species. No substantial risk factors for bloodstream infection were identified, although it occurred only in patients who had recently undergone biliary surgery or underwent manipulations other than simple cholangiography. Microbial colonization of the bile was associated with older age. Evidence of possible or proved infection after the first interventional procedure was more common in patients with positive bile cultures. Although the importance of enterococcal bacteremia is uncertain, current recommendations for cephalosporin prophylaxis for interventional radiologic biliary procedures should be reevaluated.

All of the 150 respondents reported recommending the use of condoms to their clients, but only two-thirds felt comfortable demonstrating a condom, while fewer could explain condom choices or how to make safe sex more pleasurable. Less than half questioned their clients about history of STDs, sexual practices, or level of sexual satisfaction. Those who devoted 50 percent or more time to HIV risk-reduction efforts reported being more complete in their assessment and more comfortable in their counseling role. Providers claimed it would help if they had more time (84%) and better skills (64%, especially nurses) for this practice. Because HIV prevention services in hemophilia are delivered by a team, further studies are required to determine the aggregate impact of their intervention on the client.

Reported dysentery cases increase sharply in Burundi during September through December. Of stool samples from 189 patients reporting bloody diarrhea in November 1990, a pathogen was identified in 123 (65%). The pathogen was S. dysenteriae type 1 in 82 (67%). All S. dysenteriae type 1 isolates were resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, streptomycin, sulfisoxazole, tetracycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Thirty-two specimens (26%) yielded other Shigella species. Patients with S. dysenteriae type 1 were more likely than those with other Shigella infections to have abdominal pain, "lots of blood" in the stool, blood in the stool specimen examined by the interviewer, recent contact with a person with dysentery, or recent antimicrobial treatment. Thus, the seasonal increase in dysentery was due largely to multidrug-resistant S. dysenteriae type 1, clinical and epidemiologic features may predict such infection, and efforts to control this epidemic must focus on preventing transmission.

Because of the increased use of more sophisticated instrumentation, the detection limits for these compounds have dropped dramatically. Consequently, techniques in use in the analytical laboratory to generate blank water may now prove inadequate. The need for blank water with low levels of VOCs was recently underscored by the development of an analytical procedure to analyze 32 VOCs in whole blood; this procedure has detection limits in the tens of parts-per-trillion level for most VOCs. Common sources of blank water in the laboratory such as deionized, cartridge-filtered, and HPLC-grade bottled water are analyzed. These sources contained high concentrations of some VOCs that would interfere with low parts-per-trillion analyses. Well water and bottled water used for human consumption are analyzed, but both prove inadequate for the analysis of VOCs at parts-per-trillion levels.

The agar screening method described by Willey et al. has been proposed as a reliable method for confirming vancomycin resistance. In this study, we investigated various parameters associated with the agar screening method and, on the basis of the findings, established optimum testing conditions for the method. First, to evaluate media and vancomycin concentrations, one laboratory used Mueller-Hinton and brain heart infusion agars supplemented with 4,6, and 8 mu g of vancomycin per ml to test 100 genetically characterized enterococcal strains. On the basis of the results obtained, brain heart infusion agar supplemented with 6 mu g of vancomycin per ml was selected for further study. Subsequently, eight laboratories used the medium to test both reference and clinical isolates.

AN - 76077671; 8246858 AB - On November 17, 1993, the state health departments of Louisiana, Maryland, and Mississippi notified CDC of several outbreaks of gastroenteritis occurring in their states since November 12. Preliminary epidemiologic investigations identified consumption of oysters as the primary risk factor for illness. On November 16, the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (LDHH) had identified the Grand Pass and Cabbage Reef harvesting areas off the Louisiana coast as the source of oysters associated with outbreaks in Louisiana and Mississippi. Tagged oysters associated with outbreaks in Maryland were traced to the same oyster beds. The oysters harvested from these areas had been distributed throughout the United States. On November 18 and 19, the LDHH and CDC notified state epidemiologists of the potential for oyster-associated illness; outbreaks of oyster-associated gastroenteritis subsequently were identified in Florida and North Carolina. Collaborative investigations by state health officials, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and CDC were initiated to determine the magnitude and characteristics of the multistate outbreak, identify the etiologic agent, and trace the oysters. This report summarizes the preliminary findings of the ongoing investigation. JF - MMWR.

AN - 75992066; 8413168 AB - Herpes infections are common among women of reproductive age (i.e., aged 15-44 years). Acyclovir (Zovirax), an antiviral drug effective in the treatment of herpes simplex infection, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1984. Since its approval, the effects of acyclovir on human pregnancies have not been determined. However, inadvertent pregnancy exposures to acyclovir were expected to occur among women in whom treatment had been indicated for preexisting herpes simplex infections. Some physicians have reported intentional use of acyclovir during pregnancy for treatment of life-threatening herpes simplex infection. To assess the outcomes of pregnancies exposed to acyclovir, the Acyclovir in Pregnancy Registry was established on June 1, 1984, by the manufacturer, in collaboration with CDC.

Diet may be an important factor in the cause and prevention of cancer. Thus, in part to reduce cancer risk, the United States has set two dietary goals for the Year 2000: to reduce fat intake by 18% so that fat constitutes no more than 30% of caloric intake (baseline level 35%), and to double the consumption of carbohydrate and fiber-containing foods by increasing fruit and vegetable consumption to five servings per day and grains to six servings per day (baseline levels 2.5 and 3.0). How far the US population has progressed toward these goals is uncertain. Methods. Dietary trends in the United States during the past 20 years were examined by compiling food supply data and dietary intake estimates from US adults from various national surveys and from individual studies. Results. Dietary fat intake, considered in absolute terms and as the proportion of calories derived from fat, has been declining slightly during the past 20 years but probably remains near 35% of kilocalories derived from fat. Fruit and vegetable intake appears to be increasing, yet probably averages no more than 3.4 servings per day among US adults. These dietary trends may not be occurring equally in all socioeconomic levels of our society. Conclusions. There is evidence of modest improvement in the American diet during the past 20 years, with decreasing fat and increasing fruits and vegetables in the diet, but changes must occur at a faster pace if the Year 2000 dietary goals are to be met. More cost-efficient and more timely methods of dietary surveillance of target populations must be developed to support the development and evaluation of more effective dietary interventions.

AN - 75898119; 8359944 AB - To access the potential of using the mass media to reach urban intravenous drug users (IVDUs) with AIDS prevention messages, we: 1) questioned 353 participants in a Baltimore IVDU cohort study on their media use and sources of AIDS information, 2) analyzed data on Baltimore AIDS public service announcement (PSA) airings during a 3-month period, and 3) discussed with media executives their willingness to air a variety of potential AIDS messages. Forty-seven percent of all respondents reported that they learned the most about AIDS from television. Participants watched television a median of 28 hours/week; 52% of IVDUs listened to ratio > or = 12 hours/week. Eight hundred eleven AIDS television PSAs were aired; 37% of PSAs were placed on news programs; 53% of respondents watched news programs. Acceptability of hypothetical prevention messages (e.g., on sexual abstinence, condom use, or safer drug use practices) varied with media reach (national vs local) and type (television vs radio). We conclude that media could reach IVDUs with AIDS prevention messages. Television could be used to direct IVDUs to local prevention programs and provide safe/safer sex messages.

AN - 75741977; 8502214 AB - Increased use of crack cocaine and the exchange of sex for drugs have been major contributors to the increased occurrence of syphilis in U.S. urban, minority populations (1-3). Because many persons who use drugs do not voluntarily seek health care (1,4), and because their sex partners are often difficult to locate (5), a substantial number of persons may have undiagnosed syphilis infections, thereby contributing to continuing transmission. Because of the continuing increase in the number of persons in Dallas County (1990 population: 1.8 million), Texas, in whom early syphilis* had been diagnosed, and who had reported having had sex partners at crack motels and crack houses (i.e., places where crack cocaine was sold), in February 1991, the Dallas Countywide Health Department (DCHD) developed a sexually transmitted disease (STD) screening program aimed specifically at those sites. This report describes Dallas County's selective screening program and summarizes results of the program from March 1 through December 31, 1991. JF - MMWR.

AN - 75713063; 8483442 AB - Based on data from the National Traumatic Occupational Fatality surveillance system, Alaska had the highest state-specific work-related fatality rate during 1980-1989. During this period, the annual average private industry fatality rate in Alaska was 34.8 per 100,000 workers, nearly five times the annual average for the United States (7.0 per 100,000) (1). Fatalities in the commercial fishing industry-which accounts for the second largest percentage of revenue and number of jobs in the state-are among the highest industry-specific rates in the United States (1). Because of the high occupational fatality rates for Alaska, in 1991, CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) initiated efforts in Alaska to improve surveillance and describe risk factors for serious occupational injuries associated with the fishing, logging, and air transport industries. This report uses data obtained and analyzed by NIOSH to characterize fishing industry deaths in Alaska for 1991 and 1992. JF - MMWR.

AN - 75743832; 8497566 AB - In 1990, nearly 1.5 million human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody tests were performed at publicly funded sites. Eight percent of those tests were performed for self-identified illegal injecting drug users (IDU). The authors examined data from 28 project areas using a client record data base that permitted an analysis of self-reported risk behavior by type of service delivery site. Among self-identified IDUs, 68 percent of those tested and 82 percent of those found to be seropositive had obtained HIV counseling and testing services in settings other than drug treatment centers. The findings indicate that HIV-prevention programs for IDUs need to be available in various service delivery settings, not just in drug treatment programs. Strong links and cooperation between sites offering HIV counseling and testing and sites providing drug treatment programs are important to preventing HIV transmission to and from IDUs.

AN - 75688833; 8474426 AB - Although fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a major preventable cause of mental retardation in the United States (1), surveillance for this problem is subject to at least five constraints: difficulty in identifying the syndrome at birth (2); the subjective nature of the diagnosis; variability in the severity and type of conditions associated with FAS; age-specific variations in the expression of the phenotype; and the lack of specificity in the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) code for FAS. Previous studies have documented high rates of FAS among American Indians and Alaskan Natives (ANs) (3,4). To better ascertain cases of FAS in Alaska and to determine the prevalence of this problem among ANs, the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (ADHSS), the Indian Health Service (IHS), and CDC linked and analyzed data from state sources (i.e., birth and death certificates and Medicaid claims), an IHS case file, and a private pediatric practice case file. This report summarizes the findings from this analysis and presents a preliminary minimum FAS prevalence rate for ANs. JF - MMWR.

AN - 75617159; 8450825 AB - Methemoglobinemia among infants is a rare and potentially fatal condition caused by genetic enzyme deficiencies, metabolic acidosis, and exposure to certain drugs and chemicals. The most widely recognized environmental cause of this problem is ingestion of nitrate-containing water. Ingestion of copper causes abdominal discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, and in cases of high-level exposure, vomiting. This report summarizes an investigation by the Division of Health, Wisconsin Department of Health and Social Services of methemoglobinemia associated with ingestion of nitrate- and copper-containing water in an infant during 1992.

AN - 75616903; 8437541 AB - Occupationally related death rates among workers involved in oil and gas extraction activities have been higher than rates for workers from all U.S. industries combined. In 1991, nonfatal work-related injury (NFI) rates for workers in the U.S. oil and gas field service industry (standard industrial classification [SIC] codes 138.1, 138.2, and 138.9)* were 49% greater than rates for all workers in private industry and tended to be more severe, with a lost-workdays rate more than 2.8-fold higher than in private industry as a whole. To develop improved strategies for preventing fatal injuries (FIs) and NFIs among petroleum drilling workers, the Louisiana Office of Public Health (LOPH) analyzed data on injury-related incidents in the petroleum drilling industry during 1988-1990.

AN - 75570555; 8380925 AB - The authors analyzed data from a national survey of 2003 directors of licensed child day-care centers to determine employee smoking policies, measure compliance with state and local employee smoking regulations for child day-care centers and state clean indoor air laws, and to estimate the extent of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in these settings. Forty states regulated employee smoking in child day-care centers, but only three states required day-care centers to be smoke-free indoors. More than 99% of licensed child day-care centers had employee smoking policies that complied with the appropriate state or local smoking regulations. Nearly 55% of centers were smoke-free indoors and outdoors, and 26% were smoke-free indoors only. The best predictors of more stringent employee smoking policies were location in the West or South, smaller size, independent ownership, or having written smoking policies. Despite the presence of strong smoking policies at the majority of licensed child day-care centers, more than 752,000 children in the United States are at risk for environmental tobacco smoke exposure in these settings.

AN - 75547864; 8421455 AB - During 1990-1991, an inmate in a California prison spent a total of 6 months in the prison infirmary with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). As a result, from November 1990 through March 1991, 11 of the 21 prison infirmary physicians and nurses underwent tuberculin skin testing; two persons could be documented as newly positive. In addition, two correctional officers (from an unknown number tested) also had newly positive tuberculin skin tests. State and local departments of health, industrial relations, and corrections investigated the possibility of nosocomial TB transmission from inmates to staff.

AN - 75528549; 8419791 AB - Lyme disease (LD) is endemic in Monmouth and Ocean counties, New Jersey (1). In June 1992, CDC and the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) conducted a telephone survey in both counties of 65 schoolchildren who required home instruction because of suspected LD to determine the public health impact of the disease. Most children had received prolonged and repeated courses of oral antimicrobials and/or home intravenous infusion of antimicrobials; 79% had been hospitalized for treatment of suspected LD or management of treatment complications, most notably drug-induced symptoms of gallbladder disease occurring in patients receiving ceftriaxone (Rocephin), and bloodstream infections associated with intravenous catheters. To determine the characteristics of and treatment complications for patients hospitalized for treatment of LD, a computerized search of hospital discharge data in New Jersey was performed; nearly 30% of all hospitalizations for LD during 1990-1991 were at a regional hospital serving Monmouth and Ocean counties. This report presents findings of an analysis of patients admitted to that hospital for treatment of LD. JF - MMWR.

AN - 75554653; 8418393 AB - Because air pollution is a pervasive environmental health problem in the United States, one of the national health objectives for the year 2000 is to increase from 49.7% to 85.0% the proportion of persons who live in counties that have not exceeded any air quality standard during the previous 12 months (1). Public support for air pollution control efforts is critical if this national health objective is to be achieved. To characterize public health information activities related to air pollution, in 1992, the State and Territorial Air Pollution Program Administrators (STAPPA) and the Association of Local Air Pollution Control Officials (ALAPCO), with the assistance of CDC, conducted a survey of state and local air pollution control agencies. This report summarizes the findings of that survey. JF - MMWR.

AN - 76275096; 8199227 AB - To compare the Visage 2000 analysis system (Bio Image, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) with the GELLAB-II analysis system (National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD, USA), we used each to perform image analysis of the same 29 silver-stained two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE) gel image files from a study of urinary proteins in metal recovery plant workers who had confirmed body burdens of cadmium. Visage, aided by interactive analysis, detected an average of 890 +/- 177.6 spots per gel, or a total of 25,800 spots, whereas GELLAB-II detected 1971 +/- 198.5 spots per gel, or a total of 57,160 (a 222% increase over the Visage system), without operator intervention. Visage automatically quantified 52.5% (13,556) of the spots; 47.2% (12,173), consisting mostly of larger spots, had to be quantified interactively with an image editor, and 0.3% (71) were not quantified. GELLAB-II automatically quantified all detected spots. After we interactively assigned the maximum allowed number of landmarks (30 for Visage and 52 for GELLAB-II), we found that Visage matched 657 +/- 211.2 spots per gel, and GELLAB-II matched all detected spots and also extrapolated an average of 1269 virtual spots per gel. Plots of densities from the two systems on selected spots showed excellent agreement, and both systems showed high correlation between their measurements of the beta-2-microglobulin spot densities and an independent radioimmunoassay quantification of the original urine samples. By comparing the regression of the densities of all spots with urinary cadmium (UCD) levels, we found that several of the same detected spots from each system were highly correlated. The densities of four acidic proteins with relative molecular weights of approximately 112,000 Da (as quantified by GELLAB-II but not by Visage) were highly correlated with UCD concentrations. These proteins are new candidate biomarkers of cadmium toxicity. We compared the estimated labor costs of using each system to analyse a hypothetical 20-sample (60 gels) 2DE study and found that GELLAB-II was six times less expensive to use than Visage, primarily because of the operator time required to do interactive error correction with the Visage system.

We obtained information on demographic characteristics and self-reported medical and occupational histories form 88 (83%) of 106 permanent employees at the plant; almost half (39 people 44%) had developed wart-like lesions on their arms or hands after they began working at this plant. We also conduced clinical evaluations of 28 to the 32 (88%) people with wart-like lesions at the time of the investigation; in all but one case, a diagnosis of warts was confirmed. We collected scrapings of warts from 22 (79%) people and identified human papillomavirus (HPV) type 7, which is reportedly uncommon in the general public, in 12 of these specimens. People working at the time of their interview in areas where they often handled dead, raw, unfrozen chickens were three times more likely to have developed warts; for those who had ever worked in these 'high-risk' areas, theirs excess risk almost doubled. Nine of the 12 (75%) people with HPV type 7 had worked in these areas at some time. In contrast to previous report, we found no increased risks of having warts associated with environmental factors or the frequency of cuts and abrasions. Precautions to prevent infection with HPV and to limit spread might include having workers in identified high-risk areas (especially people with wart-like lesions) wear vinyl/rubber gloves, if practical.

A role for a vaccine-related reduction in nasopharyngeal carriage of Hib has been suggested. We studied oropharyngeal carriage of Hib and vaccination rates in a population of 2- to 5-year-old children in metropolitan Atlanta. Among 584 children 75% were vaccinated with an Hib conjugate vaccine, 17% had not been vaccinated and 8% had no vaccination records available. Forty-one percent of the children were colonized with H. influenzae. One child was colonized with Hib. Hib carriage was substantially lower than the estimates of Hib carriage from prior studies of children who had not received Hib conjugate vaccines.

Children with mental retardation (intelligence quotient less than 71) were identified from special education records maintained by the public school systems in the metropolitan Atlanta area and from records of various medical and social service agencies serving children with special needs. Control children were chosen from the rosters of 10-year-olds who were enrolled in regular education classes in the local public schools systems. To obtain occupational histories, sociodemographic data, and other information, we interviewed 352 natural mothers (67%) of 525 case children and 408 natural mothers (64%) of 636 control children. We computed odds ratios for each of 25 selected occupation, industry, and agent categories controlling for maternal education, birth order, and race. Most comparisons yielded odds ratios that were not indicative of unusual risks, but we did find lower than expected risks among children of teachers and health-care professionals. We also found a strong, positive association between mental retardation and maternal employment in the textile and apparel industries. The findings are useful for planning the direction of future studies of childhood cognitive ability to focus on specific parental occupations or industries.

These characteristics were analyzed for possible associations with each other as well as with clinical components of STSS. M-type 1, the most commonly isolated M-type, was significantly associated with protease production. Protease activity was significantly associated with the clinical sign of soft tissue necrosis. M-type 1 and 3 strains from STSS patients were significantly associated with the clinical signs of shock and organ involvement as well as with SpeA production in vitro. Finally, the production of SpeA was significantly associated with the clinical component of shock and organ involvement as well as with rash. These data suggest that STSS does not make up a single syndrome but, rather, that the multiple STSS clinical criteria probably reflect different phenotypic characteristics of individual S. pyogenes isolates.

AN - 16853533; 3570977 AB - A new slowly growing nonphotochromogenic Mycobacterium species of clinical importance is described. The biochemical characteristics of this organism were similar to those of Mycobacterium xenopi and members of the Mycobacterium avium complex. However, none of the strains reacted with commercially available genetic probes for the M. avium complex. The strains were resistant to most antituberculosis drugs. Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis revealed two original electrophoretic types, which was suggestive of new species. The strains contained alpha -, keto-, and dicarboxylic mycolates, as determined by thin-layer chromatography. A mycolic acid analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed a chromatographic pattern similar to that of M. xenopi, but distinct from the patterns of previously described Mycobacterium species. Hexadecanoic and tuberculostearic acids were identified as the major cell wall fatty acids by gas-liquid chromatographic analysis; hexacosanoic acid was the major mycolic acid cleavage product, and 2-eicosanol was the major alcohol. Evaluation of the 16S rRNA sequence confirmed the phylogenetic position of the organism among the slowly growing Mycobacterium species. Cultures representing this new species have been deposited in the American Type Culture Collection as strains ATCC 51130 and ATCC 51131 super(T) (T = type strain). The name Mycobacterium celatum is proposed.

Congress directed EPA to establish these national air quality standards with an adequate margin of safety to account for limitations in scientific information on the health effects of these pollutants, with particular concern for those populations at potentially higher risk for adverse outcomes from exposure to these pollutants. This report provides estimates of the number of persons who may have been at risk for exposure to unhealthy levels of these pollutants during 1991.

Significant bactericidal activity was found at 12.5 mg/kg sparfloxacin and 25 mg/kg ofloxacin. Sparfloxacin was significantly more bactericidal than ofloxacin at all doses, and the results with 25 mg/kg sparfloxacin were nearly identical to those obtained with 100 mg/kg ofloxacin. These results, together with pharmacokinetic and toxicological data in mice and man, suggest that sparfloxacin may have a higher therapeutic index than ofloxacin in leprosy, and that the tentative standard dosage of 200 mg sparfloxacin daily should be appropriate for a clinical trial.

The national cholera case-fatality rate (CFR) was less than 1% in the first six months of the epidemic, but in some rural areas, the CFR exceeded 10%. We investigated cholera mortality in the rural Amazon region, an area with a CFR of 6.3%. We conducted a case-control study, comparing 29 decedents with 61 survivors of recent cholera-like diarrheal illness in 12 villages with a combined CFR of 13.5%. Of 29 decedents, 28 (96%) died in the village or en route to a health facility. Death occurred within 36 hours of illness onset for 83% of the decedents. In 11 (92%) villages, the first or second recognized case was fatal. Death was associated with receiving treatment only at home (odds ratio indeterminate; 95% confidence interval 3.5, indeterminate). Treatment with oral rehydration salts (ORS) was not protective against death for patients who received treatment only at home. Treatment with homemade sugar-salt solution (SSS) was also not protective; fewer than one-third of respondents knew the correct SSS recipe. Most decedents experienced multiple barriers to health care. Cholera victims died rapidly and early in village outbreaks, and few patients had access to health care.

Microsomes isolated from phenobarbital- or ethanol-pretreated rats exhibited an increased capacity to cleave diglyme to 2ME. This ethanol-induced increase in 2ME formation was not observed if incubations contained the cytochrome P450IIE1 inhibitor isoniazid. Pretreatment of rats with diglyme significantly increased microsomal P-450 levels, P-450-associated enzyme activities and the conversion of diglyme to 2ME. Following the diglyme pretreatment, an almost 30-fold increase in pentoxyresorufin dealkylase activity (P450IIB1/2) was evident in rat hepatic microsomes. Human hepatic microsomes also catalysed the NADPH-dependent cleavage of diglyme to 2ME. The formation of 2ME from diglyme correlated with the aniline hydroxylase activity (P450IIE1) levels measured in human hepatic microsomes.

Little is known about the adverse effects of natural disasters on reproductive outcomes. Important lessons can be derived from several disasters caused by human factors, such as the Minamata Bay disaster. Adverse reproductive outcomes include infertility, early pregnancy loss, stillbirths, congenital malformations, and serious developmental disabilities such as cerebral palsy and mental retardation. Recent disasters like the Chernobyl and Bhopal explosions have provided important lessons on the need for accurate and sound information about the risk of prenatal exposures for adverse reproductive outcomes. To study questions of adverse reproductive outcomes and disasters requires a well-planned approach. It should include early development of surveillance for adverse reproductive outcomes, analytic studies on the risk of disasters from direct and indirect effects, sensitive methods to measure early pregnancy loss, and long-term follow-up programs to assess outcomes such as developmental disabilities.

The first isolation of the virus in North America occurred in the fall of 1988 when it was recovered from adult chinook O. tshawytscha and coho O. kisutch salmon returning to 2 hatcheries in the state of Washington, USA. The following year, VHSV was isolated from adult coho salmon at 2 other hatcheries in northwestern Washington. In 1990 and 1991, VHSV was recovered from Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus caught in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Genetic variation among the 4 isolates from salmon and the 1990 isolate from Pacific cod was determined using T1 ribonuclease fingerprinting. In addition, 4 diverse isolates from Europe were included for comparison. The North American isolates of VHSV formed a single fingerprint group in which the 4 isolates from salmonids were highly similar to each other and the isolate from Pacific cod was related but less similar. The 4 European isolates, which included an isolate from Atlantic cod G. morhua, formed a second fingerprint group. The genetic diversity among the isolates within each fingerprint group was estimated to be less than 5% while the North American and European strains of the virus were judged to differ by more than 5%. The results indicate that the North American isolates of VHSV are not of European origin and that the virus may be enzootic within the marine environment.

By modifying a commercial radioimmunoassay (RIA) kit for urinary samples, one can use blood spotted on filter paper as a matrix to quantitate the cocaine metabolite benzoylecgonine (BE). BE is stable for long periods of time in blood spots and we were able to quantitatively extract it with aqueous buffer. There were no matrix effects of the blood spot eluate on the RIA, and excess lipid in the blood did not alter measurement of BE. By using standards made up of BE in negative blood spot eluate and calibrators of blood that were spiked with BE and then spotted on filter paper to determine extraction efficiency, low levels of BE in blood could be measured. The limit of detection was 5 ng/mL, and the limit of quantitation was 10 ng/mL. Levels of BE in blood collected at autopsy in eluates of blood spots were measured, and they established excellent correlation with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry measurements.

AN - 16697769; 2978961 AB - In 1990, a Salmonella enteritidis (SE) outbreak occurred in a restaurant chain in Pennsylvania. To determine its cause(s), we conducted a case-control study and a cohort study at one restaurant, and a survey of restaurants. Egg dishes were associated with illness. Guests from one hotel eating at the restaurant had a diarrheal attact rate of 14%, 4.7-fold higher than among those not eating there. There were no differences in egg handling between affected and unaffected restaurants. Eggs supplied to affected restaurants were medium grade AA eggs from a single farm, and were reportedly refrigerated during distribution. Human and hen SE isolates were phage type 8 and had similar plasmid profiles and antibiograms. We estimate the prevalence of infected eggs during the outbreak to be as high as 1 in 12. Typical restaurant egg-handling practices and refrigeration during distribution appear to be insufficient by themselves to prevent similar outbreaks. JF - Epidemiology and infection.

The results of this investigation provide evidence that Fbp participates in this process as a functional analogue of a Gram-negative periplasmic-binding protein component, which operates as a part of a general active transport process for the receptor-mediated, high-affinity transport of iron from human transferrin. Known properties of Fbp are correlated with those of other well-characterized periplasmic-binding proteins, including structural features and the reversible binding of ligand. Predictive of a periplasmic-binding protein, which functions in the high-affinity acquisition of iron, is that Fbp is a transient participant in the process of iron acquisition from human transferrin. Evidence for this is demonstrated by results of pulse-chase experiments. Taken together, the data described here and elsewhere suggest that pathogenic Neisseria spp. use a periplasmic-binding protein-mediated active transport mechanism for the acquisition of iron from human transferrin.

AN - 16664708; 3023492 AB - Some of the world's most devastating diseases are transmitted by arthropod vectors. Attempts to control these arthropods are currently being challenged by the widespread appearance of insecticide resistance. It is therefore desirable to develop alternative strategies to complement existing methods of vector control. In this review, the authors present an approach for introducing foreign genes into insects in order to confer refractoriness to vector populations, ie. the inability to transmit disease-causing agents. This approach aims to express foreign anti-parasitic or anti-viral gene products in symbiotic bacteria harbored by insects. The potential use of naturally occurring symbiont-based mechanisms in the spread of such refractory phenotypes is also discussed.

AN - 16659227; 3051612 AB - In East Africa, bacteremia is more common in hospitalized human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1-positive than -negative patients. In 1991, blood cultures and clinical and laboratory data were obtained from 319 patients in Ivory Coast, where both HIV-1 and -2 infections occur. Forty-three bacterial, 10 mycobacterial, and 8 fungal pathogens were isolated from blood of 54 patients (17%). Pathogens isolated significantly (P less than or equal to .05) more frequently from HIV-positive than -negative patients were nonmycobacterial bacteria, particularly Salmonella enteritidis ; mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis -Mycobacterium bovis ; and yeast or fungus. HIV-1 or -2 positivity was associated with a 3-fold increased risk for septicemia (P < .02). HIV-positive patients with fever or with lymphocyte counts <1000 were more likely to be septicemic than those without these characteristics. Mortality increased significantly with HIV positivity (40% vs. 14%, P<.001) and, among HIV-positive patients, with having pathogens isolated from blood (63% vs. 33%, P < .001).

AN - 16655204; 3033794 AB - In the United States, mercury has been routinely used as a biocide to preserve exterior latex paint. Although the concentration of mercury in exterior latex paints can be up to 1500 mg/L, mercury exposure from these paints has never been studied. The authors performed this investigation to determine the extent of mercury exposure from the outdoor application of exterior latex paints. To assess mercury exposure they compared air and urinary mercury concentrations of 13 professional male painters with those of 29 men having other occupations (nonpainters). The painters used two brands of exterior latex paint that contained mercury. The median urinary mercury concentration was nearly twice as high for painters than for nonpainters. Among painters, urinary mercury concentrations increased with the percentage of time spent applying exterior paint.

AN - 16654083; 3012815 AB - Legionella pneumophila is an intracellular parasite of Hartmannella vermiformis . Attachment to the amebae and entry of L. pneumophila were studied by two quantitative assays: One used plate counts to measure the number of bacteria attaching to amebae at 4 degree C; the other determined the number of intracellular bacteria by use of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The attachment assay showed that L. pneumophila are inefficient in attachment to amebae. About 0.05% of the bacteria were bound after 1 h with a 10- to 40-fold increase over the next 11 h. Attachment of both virulent and avirulent strains of L. pneumophila occurred at a similar rate. Uptake of L. pneumophila was measured by counting intracellular bacteria using TEM. Limited numbers of virulent L. pneumophila were found intracellularly before 4 h, but the numbers increased logarithmically after this time. The number of amebae containing virulent L. pneumophila increased linearly during the 12-h co-incubation. Avirulent L. pneumophila were rarely detected within amebae throughout the 12-h incubation. Results indicate that entry, not attachment, of virulent L. pneumophila is the limiting step in infection of axenically grown H. vermiformis .

AN - 16651694; 3038089 AB - The direct detection of gonococcal DNA in rectal and pharyngeal specimens was evaluated by using a DNA probe-based assay (Gen-Probe, Inc., San Diego, Calif.). Rectal (234) and pharyngeal (608) swab specimens were obtained from 249 men and 372 women attending sexually transmitted disease clinics in Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada. The prevalence of gonococcal infection by culture at the pharyngeal and rectal sites was 2.9% (16 of 548 specimens) in women and 2.7% (8 of 294 specimens) in men. No false-positive reactions were observed among the 234 rectal specimens tested. Two probe-positive, culture-negative specimens were detected among the 361 pharyngeal specimens obtained from women. Both of these samples were confirmed as Neisseria gonorrhoeae by a probe competition assay. The overall correlation of the DNA probe test with pharyngeal and rectal cultures was 99.4% (837 of 842 cultures), with a sensitivity of 87.5% (21 of 24 cultures) and specificity of 99.7% (816 of 818 cultures). The positive and negative predictive values of the DNA assay were 91.3 and 99.8%, respectively. The direct DNA probe assay provides an alternative to culture screening for rectal and/or pharyngeal gonococcal infections.

Adverse reactions to vaccines are generally mild; severe events resulting in death or permanent damage are rare. In every instance, the benefits of preventing the disease far outweigh the risks of vaccination. Risk-benefit analyses for immunisation are faced with a number of potential difficulties; definition of the risks and benefits themselves, individual versus community risks and benefits, and the continuously evolving nature of risks with changes in disease epidemiology. Based on risk-benefit studies, for an individual just as for the community, it may not always be of interest to use the vaccine with the lowest complication rate. Good immunisation programmes should help to decrease the risk of adverse effects. JF - Drug Safety AU - Duclos, P AU - Bentsi-Enchill, A AD - Childhood Immunisation Div., Bur. Commun. Dis.

AN - 16647377; 2992183 AB - Of 105 Salmonella organisms of any serotype selected from a sample of 1,824 serotyped salmonellae isolated during a nationwide bacteriologic survey of healthy broiler chickens after slaughter, 60 (57%) were resistant to 1 or more antimicrobial agents and 47 (45%) were resistant to 2 or more agents. Highest resistance was to tetracycline (45%), streptomycin (41%), sulfisoxazole (19%), gentamicin (10%), and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (8%). Additional isolates of S typhimurium, heidelberg, agona , and enteritidis were selected from the sample of 1,824 isolates for testing because of the high frequency with which these 4 serotypes are isolated from human patients. The highest frequency of resistance among 104 isolates of S heidelberg , 92 isolates of S typhimurium , and 30 isolates of S agona was to streptomycin (33 to 57%), sulfisoxazole (33 to 50%), tetracycline (26 to 50%), and gentamicin (13 to 40%); 51 to 63% of these isolates were resistant to 1 or more agents and 37 to 59% were resistant to 2 or more agents. Resistance to ampicillin among these 3 serotypes was uncommon (0 to 4%). In contrast, 15 of 19 tested isolates (79%) of S enteritidis were resistant to ampicillin and 13 of the 19 isolates (68%) were resistant only to ampicillin. This pattern of resistance was associated with a specific bacteriophage type and indicated the potential role of bacterial clones in determining the frequency and patterns of antimicrobial resistance in populations of broiler chickens. Resistance to gentamicin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole was higher than that previously reported and is of public health concern because of the frequency with which these drugs are used to treat bacterial infections in human patients.

AN - 16645166; 2994653 AB - To explain the sudden appearance and rapid spread of cholera in Latin America in January 1991, molecular techniques were used to define Vibrio cholerae O1 isolates from around the world. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms of rRNA and ctxA genes, DNA sequence of cholera toxin B subunit gene ctxB, and multilocus enzyme electrophoresis data were used to characterize 197 isolates. Worldwide, there are at least four distinct toxigenic El Tor V. cholerae O1 clones: the seventh pandemic (Eastern Hemisphere), US Gulf Coast, Australian, and Latin American. Nontoxigenic V. cholerae O1 previously isolated in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru are unlike current toxigenic isolates. The Latin American clone probably represents an extension of the seventh pandemic into the Western Hemisphere, while the US Gulf Coast clone most likely evolved separately.

We abstracted data from 279 report forms of new cases of tuberculoses reported to the Puerto Rico Health Department between 1987 and 1990 in which isolates had been tested for drug susceptibility. Overall, 55 (19.7%) of the 279 cases of tuberculosis were resistant to at least one drug, and 27 (9.7%) were resistant to more than one drug. Among the 59 patients with previous tuberculosis therapy, 20 (33.9%) had isolates that were drug-resistant. Among the 220 without previous therapy, 35 (15.9%) had isolates that were drug-resistant. For all 279, resistance to isoniazid (INH) was most common (11.1%) followed by streptomycin (SM) (10%), rifampin (RIF) (4.3%), ethambutol (EMB) (2.2%), and pyrazidimide (PZA) (1.1%). A history of previous tuberculosis therapy and being born outside the United States and Puerto Rico were independently associated with drug resistance.

Homogenates derived from nonfed "flat" nymphs or nymphs fed for 12 h were not infectious to mice. Homogenates derived from nymphs attached for 24 h, however, infected 20% of inoculated mice; homogenates derived from ticks attached for greater than or equal to 36 h infected greater than or equal to 80% of inoculated mice. Incubation of nonfed ticks at 37 degree C did not produce infectious homogenates. The ID sub(50) for low-passage JD1 strain spirochetes in 3-week-old mice was 2.69 x 10 super(3) spirochetes.

AN - 16634216; 3023538 AB - A standardized scheme of 27 different Bgl I ribotypes and subtypes of Vibrio cholerae O1 strains is proposed on the basis of data from 214 human and environmental strains isolated in 35 countries and 14 U.S. states over the past 60 years. The ribotype patterns obtained are reproducible and stable over time. Seven different but very similar ribotypes (1a to 1g) were observed among 16 strains of the classical biotype. Twenty ribotypes and subtypes were identified among 198 V. cholerae O1 strains of the El Tor biotype. Six different patterns were found among the strains causing the current seventh pandemic. Strains of ribotype 8 originated only in central African countries, while those of ribotype 3 originated mainly in Asia and the Pacific Islands. The most widely distributed strains were those of ribotype 6, which was subdivided into three very similar but still distinguishable subtypes. The present Latin American epidemic is caused by strains of ribotype 5. Strains of this ribotype were isolated from several other geographic locations but can be differentiated from the Latin American strains by other molecular methods. Strains associated with two documented environmental reservoirs exhibited three distinct ribotype patterns; those isolated from patients who ate food from the U.S. Gulf waters were all of ribotype 2, while the strains related to the northeast Australian rivers were of ribotypes 9 and 10. Nontoxigenic V. cholerae O1 strains originating in Latin America and the U.S. Gulf Coast did not form a specific cluster of ribotypes. Ribotyping in combination with other well-defined methods can assist in epidemiologic investigations, helping to trace the movement of strains and to identify their geographic origins.

AN - 16621896; 2986326 AB - Between 1981 and 1991, disseminated non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection (DNTM) was reported in 199 (5.7%) of 3472 children less than 13 years of age with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the United State. More the 85% of DNTM cases were caused by infection with Mycobacterium avium complex. The proportion of AIDS cases with DNTM was higher in those with hemophilia or transfusion-associated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection than in those with perinatally acquired HIV infection. We conclude that clinicians should have a high index of suspicion of DNTM in children with lower CD4 counts and a longer duration of HIV infection and that preventive strategies, such as prophylactic antimycobacterial therapy, should be focused on this group of children.

AN - 16616078; 3038084 AB - To test the ability of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect Streptococcus pneumoniae in blood, we generated two sets of nested primers. The first defined 559-bp and 649-bp regions of the pneumolysin gene, and the second defined 445-bp and 553-bp regions of the autolysin gene. These nucleotide segments were detected in DNAs from isolates of all 20 pneumococcal serotypes tested, but they were not detected when used to test DNAs from 41 isolates of nonpneumococcal bacteria and fungi. The sensitivity was evaluated by using purified pneumococcal DNA. We were able to detect 10 fg of S. pneumoniae DNA, or 4.3 genome equivalents. Blood samples were obtained from 16 patients with culture-proven pneumococcal bacteremia and were subjected to PCR analysis. Of eight buffy coat fractions tested, six showed reactivity in the PCR with the pneumolysin primers, and five of the eight produced the expected products when tested with the autolysin primers (sensitivities, 75 and 63%, respectively). Of the eight whole-blood specimens tested, only three produced the expected products with either set of primers. Additionally, we tested 14 samples from patients with bacteremia that were culture positive for nonpneumococcal bacterial species, and 13 were negative (specificity, 93%). This combination of sensitivity and specificity may make detection of S. pneumoniae in blood by PCR in comparison with that by blood culture a very promising alternative for a means of definitive diagnosis.

AN - 16599331; 2991977 AB - Meningococcal lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-derived oligosaccharides (OS) were coupled to tetanus toxoid (TT) and purified P1.7,16 outer membrane proteins (OMP). The immunogenicities of the conjugates with and without the addition of the adjuvant Quil A or the nonionic block polymer L121 were studied in mice. Immunotype L2 and L3,7,9 OS-TT conjugates induced immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses that were strongly augmented by Quil A and L121. These adjuvants not only enhanced the amount of IgG evoked but also shifted the IgG subclass distribution from mainly IgG1 toward the complement-activating subclasses IgG2a and IgG2b. The antibodies induced were directed against the OS part of meningococcal LPS. The results indicate that (i) mouse anti-LPS antibodies evoked by LPS-derived OS-protein conjugates are not bactericidal for group B meningococci, (ii) extensive purification of P1.7,16 OMP can lead to the loss of the intrinsic adjuvant properties of outer membrane vesicle preparations, and (iii) the addition of suitable adjuvants restores the ability of these purified P1.7,16 OMP to induce bactericidal antibodies.

AN - 16596611; 3010870 AB - Recombinant baculoviruses that express the M2 protein from the genes of either the amantadine-sensitive, influenza A/Ann Arbor/6/60 virus or a laboratory-derived, amantadine-resistant mutant of this virus were constructed. Addition of amantadine or rimantadine at 2 mu g/ml to cultures of Sf9 cells infected with the recombinant baculoviruses increased the yield of the M2 protein from the amantadine-sensitive virus approximately 10-fold, but did not increase the yield of the M2 protein from the amantadine-resistant virus. Flow cytometry demonstrated that the increased production of M2 in the presence of amantadine resulted in increased cell surface expression of the M2 protein. Pulse-chase experiments indicated that whereas the rate of synthesis of the M2 protein increased in the presence of amantadine, the M2 protein was stable in both the presence and absence of amantadine. Addition of amantadine to Sf9 cells as late as 72 h after infection with the recombinant virus increased the production of M2 protein. These data suggest that the M2 protein exerts some biological activity in Sf9 cells.

AN - 16591738; 3023819 AB - Field investigations were conducted to further evaluate the role of birds in the maintenance and dissemination of Borrelia burgdorferi . Blood specimens were taken from 39 passerine birds of 17 species captured during June 1991 at the Saint Croix National Riverway in Wisconsin, and one isolate, WI91-23, was cultured from an adult song sparrow (Melospiza melodia ). This isolate was shown to be infectious for Peromyscus leucopus and Mesocricetus auratus (golden hamster). Isolate WI91-23 was confirmed as B. burgdorferi by immunofluorescence assay by using species-specific anti-OspA monoclonal antibodies H3TS and H5332 and anti-OspB antibody H5TS. Isolate WI91-23 was compared with Borrelia anserina Es, Borrelia hermsii MAN-1, and other B. burgdorferi strains (ATCC 53210, CT-1, and Catharus fuscescens (veery) liver 10293). Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of in situ-lysed spirochetes revealed that the DNA plasmid profile of WI91-23 was most similar to those of plasmids from B. burgdorferi and most different from those of plasmids from B. anserina and B. hermsii . Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis indicated that the protein profile of WI91-23 was like that of other B. burgdorferi strains studied, with dominant proteins corresponding to OspA and OspB, and that it differed from the protein profiles of B. anserina and B. hermsii . These findings indicate that passerine birds may serve as reservoirs for B. burgdorferi .

The study was conducted in a rural district hospital in western Kenya between September 1990 and July 1991. We collected data on all transfusion requests (blood donation, grouping, HIV screening) and blood recipients (age, sex, diagnosis, and for a 3-month period on the pediatric, maternity, and female wards, admission hemoglobin and outcome). Improved laboratory services, reduction of unnecessary transfusions, and increased recruitment of volunteer donors are critical for improving the appropriate and timely use of blood and reducing transfusion-associated HIV transmission.

AN - 16570159; 2989395 AB - Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are surface components of the outer membrane of Neisseria meningitidis . Today, 12 different types of meningococcal LPS (immunotypes) are known, of which 3 are prevalent in the western world. The differences between these immunotypes are in the oligosaccharide part of the LPS molecule and consist of small differences in the oligosaccharide structure, the amount and location of phosphoethanolamine groups, and the degree of O acetylation of individual monosaccharides. Although the differences between the various immunotypes are small, they have a profound influence on the immunochemical and immunological properties of these molecules. Each individual strain synthesizes a number of different LPS molecules. The expression of the various components (protective epitopes) is influenced by growth conditions and growth phase. Meningococci can endogenously sialyate their LPS, which constitutes one of the mechanisms by which N. meningitidis can evade the response of the human host. Meningococcal LPS play a key role in the induction of septic shock and can probably enhance the invasiveness of meningococcal strains and shield protective epitopes. Therefore, incorporation of (detoxified) LPS or oligosaccharide components derived therefrom might be very beneficial for the efficacy of a vaccine against group B meningococci. An overview of the development of vaccines against group B meningococci is given, and the status and potential of meningococcal LPS-derived (synthetic) oligosaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines are discussed.

AN - 16545048; 2974762 AB - To test the ability of clinical laboratories to detect antimicrobial resistance among enterococci, we sent four vancomycin-resistant enterococcal strains and one beta -lactamase-producing enterococcus to all 93 nongovernment, hospital-based clinical laboratories in New Jersey; 76 (82%) participated in the study. Each organism was tested by the laboratory's routine antimicrobial susceptibility testing method. The proportion of laboratories that correctly reported that an isolate was resistant to vancomycin varied according to the resistance level of the isolate: high-level resistance (MIC for Enterococcus faecium = 512 mu g/ml), 96% of laboratories correct; moderate-level resistance (MIC for E. faecium = 64 mu g/ml), 27% correct; low-level resistance (MIC for Enterococcus faecalis = 32 mu g/ml), 16% correct; and intrinsic low-level resistance (MIC for Enterococcus gallinarum = 8 mu g/ml), 74% correct. The beta -lactamase-producing E. faecalis isolate was identified as resistant to penicillin and ampicillin by 66 and 8% of laboratories, respectively, but only three laboratories recognized that it was a beta -lactamase producer. This survey suggests that many laboratories may fail to detect antimicrobial agent-resistant enterococci.

AN - 16542797; 2970626 AB - The causative agent of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi , is transmitted by ticks of the Ixodes ricinus complex. In this study, we report the antibody response of recombinant inbred strains of mice of the H-2, b, d, and k haplotype, infected with B. burgdorferi as a result of exposure to infected I. dammini . The patterns of antibody response assayed by Western blot analysis indicate significant major histocompatibility complex (MHC) restriction to bacterial antigens within the first 2 mo of infection in mice. Other bacterial antigens induce a significant response across the MHC haplotypes tested when assayed on the same bacterial strain used to transmit the infection, but do not crossreact with the same proteins derived from heterologous strains of B. burgdorferi . There appears to be a significant difference in the expression of most bacterial antigens when the spirochete is cultured for many passages since the same strain of bacterium isolated from low-passage and high-passage preparations exhibit different banding patterns in Western blots when assayed with the same sera.

AN - 16540272; 2974892 AB - Somatic O (formerly heat-stable) and heat-labile (HL) serotyping methods are commonly used to type Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolates. Although both systems are effective, the labor and time required for each have limited their application. These systems can be simplified by reducing the number of antisera used. To find an appropriate panel of antisera, we determined the distribution of common serotypes in the United States among a representative sample of 298 Campylobacter isolates. The strains, obtained between July 1989 and June 1990 from persons with sporadic cases of diarrhea, were collected from 19 randomly chosen counties in all geographic (census) regions of the United States. All strains were serotyped by the O and HL systems. By phenotypic methods, 288 C. jejuni , 9 hippurate-negative C. jejuni/C. coli , and 1 Campylobacter lari were identified. Of 57 O antisera, 24 typed 252 (84.6%) strains. Of the 55 HL antisera, 23 serotyped 253 (84.9%) strains. All strains were typeable in the unabsorbed O antisera. In the absorbed HL antisera, four strains were nontypeable and 14 were rough and untypeable. In each geographic region, 9 or more O and HL serotypes were found. Serotypes O:1, O:4, and O:13,16,43,50 and HL 1 were identified in all regions. The combination of both schemes gave greater discrimination than either system alone, but the maintenance of both requires a large resource investment. A serotyping scheme incorporating the 24 most prevalent O and 23 most prevalent HL serotypes could be useful for outbreak support and for surveillance. In the near future, we anticipate using a molecular subtyping method in combination with limited serotyping to distinguish Campylobacter strains.

AN - 16539641; 2969960 AB - In April 1991, 91 hospitalized patients in Cairo were reported to the Egyptian Ministry of Health with botulism intoxication. To define the spectrum of illness and identify a food vehicle, 45 patients were interviewed and a case-control investigation was conducted among families of 5 hospitalized patients. Clinical specimens and specimens of implicated food were tested for toxin and cultured for Clostridium botulinum . All 5 case-families purchased faseikh from one shop. Very high levels of type E botulinal toxin were detected in faseikh reported to be purchased from the implicated shop; C. botulinum type E was isolated from cultures of clinical specimens and from the faseikh. This is the first documented outbreak of botulism in Egypt and the largest type E outbreak ever reported.

AN - 16539118; 2974891 AB - Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates requiring proline, citrulline, and uracil for growth (PCU super(-)) have homogeneous phenotypes; most are plasmid-free, belong to few serovars, and are significantly associated with intermediate levels of susceptibility to penicillin, tetracycline, erythromycin, and cefoxitin. Because of their lack of variation by these criteria, molecular typing methods, ribotyping (restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of rRNA genes), and multilocus enzyme electrophoresis were explored as tools for further distinguishing PCU super(-) isolates. By ribotyping, selected PCU super(-) isolates could be separated into four groups on the basis of the hybridization patterns (RFLPs) of SmaI- and AvaII-digested DNA with probes containing rRNA sequences. Most of the isolates (18 of 23 isolates) belonged to a single RFLP (group I). One isolate each was in groups II and IV, and three isolates were in group III. All isolates except one, isolate NS791, had similar multilocus enzyme electrophoresis patterns. Strain NS791 was unusual in that it contained a variant cryptic plasmid with an insert in the 0.46-kb MspI-HinfI fragment of the 4.2-kb plasmid, it was the only isolate belonging to RFLP group IV, and it differed in its multilocus enzyme electrophoresis pattern, having different mobilities for glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglucose isomerase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and glutamate dehydrogenase. Serovars of PCU super(-) isolates appeared to be more indicative of strain divergence than RFLP or isoenzyme typing. Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis indicated that PCU super(-) isolates are clonal.

AN - 16529157; 2969047 AB - Major depression has been associated with mortality from ischemic heart disease (IHD). In addition, a symptom of depression--hopelessness--has been suggested as a determinant of health status. We studied the relation of both depressed affect and hopelessness to IHD incidence using data from a cohort of 2,832 U.S. adults age 45-77 years who participated in the National Health Examination Follow-up Study (mean follow-up = 12.4 years) and had no history of IHD or serious illness at baseline. Depressed affect and hopelessness were more common among women, blacks, and persons who were less educated, unmarried, smokers, or physically inactive. Data indicate that depressed affect and hopelessness may play a causal role in the occurrence of both fatal and nonfatal IHD.

AN - 16517366; 2960584 AB - Between January and June 1990, Restaurant A in Greenville, S.C. repeatedly failed local health department inspection and was repeatedly sanctioned. In September 1990, two persons, hospitalized with salmonellosis after attending a convention catered by Restaurant A, contacted the S.C. Dep. Health and Environ. Control. We inspected Restaurant A, interviewed food handlers, and surveyed by telephone persons from every sixth business attending the convention. Of 398 persons interviewed, 135 reported gastroenteritis. Nine had culture-confirmed salmonella infection. People who ate turkey were 4.6 times more likely to become ill than those who did not eat turkey. We estimate that of 2430 attendees, 824 became ill. Sanitarians judged Restaurant A's kitchen too small to prepare over 500 meals safely. The cooked turkey was unrefrigerated for several hours, incompletely rewarmed, and rinsed with water to reduce its offensive odour prior to serving. Stronger sanctions may be needed against restaurants that repeatedly fail local health department inspection. JF - Epidemiology and infection.

AN - 16493373; 2947169 AB - The confirmation of infection with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) and type II (HTLV-II) currently involves multiple assays. These include Western blot (immunoblot) (WB) and/or radioimmunoprecipitation assay for detection of antibodies to HTLV-specific viral proteins and polymerase chain reaction and/or peptide-based enzyme immunoassays for differentiating between the two viruses. We undertook an evaluation of a modified WB assay that includes native HTLV-I viral proteins from MT-2 cells spiked with an HTLV-I transmembrane glycoprotein (recombinant p21e) and the HTLV-I- and HTLV-II-specific recombinant proteins MTA-1 and K55. The test panel consisted of well-characterized sera from U.S. blood donors, American Indians, intravenous drug users, and patients seen in sexually transmitted disease clinics. Of 158 HTLV-I/II-seropositive serum specimens tested, 156 (98.7%) were confirmed and typed as HTLV-I or HTLV-II. Of 82 HTLV-I/II-seroindeterminate or -seronegative serum specimens, only 1 was classified as HTLV-II positive: the sample had weak gag p19 and strong gag p24 and env p21e reactivity and was radioimmunoprecipitation assay negative for env gp61/68 but polymerase chain reaction positive for HTLV-II. The specificity of the modified WB for confirming and typing serum samples was therefore 100%. We conclude that this WB assay is useful for confirming and typing HTLV infection and can help simplify HTLV-I/II testing algorithms.

AN - 16492655; 2942193 AB - To evaluate potential risk factors and protective factors for acute diarrheal disease in urban infants, 500 infants less than or equal to 12 months old with diarrhea and 500 age-matched control subjects coming to a Sao Paulo emergency room were studied. On multivariate analysis, these apparently sporadic community-acquired cases of diarrhea were significantly associated with hospitalization in the month before onset (odds ratio (OR), 3.4), day care center exposure (OR, 2.0), prior diarrhea in another household member (OR, 4.4), and low family income (OR, 1.8). Breast-feeding infants < 6 months old (OR, 0.3) and boiling household drinking water (OR, 0.4) were protective. Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC; OR, 12.0) and Salmonella (OR, 7/0, discordant pairs) infections were associated with prior hospitalization, rotavirus infections were associated with day care (OR, 6/0), and breast-feeding was protective against EPEC infections (OR, 0.1).

We developed a system, based on the patterns of soluble whole-cell protein separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, that was able to discriminate between the six Leuconostoc spp. that are capable of growth at 37 degree C. Nine unidentified Leuconostoc -like bacterial isolates that were included in the study did not fit any of the protein profiles of the type strains and many represent new Leuconostoc spp. JF - Journal of Clinical Microbiology AU - Elliott, JA AU - Facklam, R R AD - Respir.

AN - 16487925; 2938087 AB - Rapid recognition of multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a desirable goal for treatment of patients and protection of health care workers. DNA fingerprints produced with the insertion sequence IS6110 generate restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns that reliably identify M. tuberculosis complex strains. This report describes a rapid technique for RFLP typing using the polymerase chain reaction. The method uses one primer specific for IS6110 and a second primer complementary to a linker ligated to the restricted genomic DNA. In one strand the linker contains uracil in place of thymidine, and specific amplification is obtained by elimination of this strand with uracil N-glycosylase. Mixed-linked fingerprinting clearly differentiated multidrug-resistant isolates from 12 outbreaks and unambiguously assigned them to 26 RFLP groups.

AN - 16486659; 2943791 AB - AIDS surveillance data reported to the Centers for Disease Control from January 1981 through December 1991 were analyzed in a study characterizing persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) in the United States. Among 206,392 persons reported to have AIDS, 4,751 (2.3%) were also reported to have EPTB; of these cases, 4,257 (90%) were reported after September 1987, when the case definition for AIDS was revised to include EPTB. Seventy-six percent of persons in whom AIDS and EPTB were reported after this revision were born in the United States; among these persons, the annual percentage with EPTB in 1988-1991 ranged from 2.3% to 2.5%. The South and the Northeast accounted for 73% of EPTB cases in U.S.-born persons. U.S.-born non-Hispanic blacks (odds ratio (OR), 3.3) and U.S.-born Hispanics (OR, 2.1) were more likely than U.S.-born non-Hispanic whites to be reported as having EPTB. Intravenous drug users were at higher risk (OR, 2.9) than men who reported having had sex with other men. With the resurgence of tuberculosis and the continued expansion of the HIV epidemic, these data provide a useful basis for the targeting of efforts to control tuberculosis and to prevent HIV infection.

AN - 16484922; 2935347 AB - Two isolates of bacterial endosymbionts, GP01 and GM02, were established in cell free medium from haemolymph of the tsetse, Glossina pallidipes and G. morsitans . These microorganisms appear similar to rickettsia-like organisms reported previously from various tsetse species. The 16S rRNA sequence analysis, however, placed them within the gamma subdivision of the Proteobacteria, phylogenetically distinct from most members of the Rickettsiaceae which align with the alpha subdivision. Distinct multiple endogenous plasmids are harboured by GP01 and GM02, suggesting that the two isolates are different. Restriction mapping analysis showed that one of the conserved plasmids is present in high copy number and is at least 80 kb in size. A heterologous plasmid pSUP204, which contains the broad host range oriV replication origin, was used to transfect bacterial cultures. The symbiont GM02 was transformed, and it expressed plasmid encoded resistance to the antibiotics ampicillin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol. Transformation of these symbionts may provide a novel means for expressing anti-parasitic genes within tsetse populations.

AN - 16478445; 2929700 AB - Gene 4 of Marburg virus, strain Musoke, was subjected to nucleotide sequence analysis. It is 2,844 nucleotides long and extends from genome position 5821 to position 8665 (EMBL Data Library, emnew: MVREPCYC (accession no. Z12132)). The gene is flanked by transcriptional signal sequences (start signal, 3'-UACUUCUUGUAAUU-5'; termination signal, 3'-UAAUUCUUUUU-5') which are conserved in all Marburg virus genes. The major open reading frame encodes a polypeptide of 681 amino acids (M sub(r), 74,797). After in vitro transcription and translation, as well as expression in Escherichia coli), this protein was identified by its immunoreactivity with specific antisera as the unglycosylated form of the viral membrane glycoprotein (GP). The GP is characterized by the following four different domains: (i) a hydrophobic signal peptide at the amino terminus (1 to 18), (ii) a predominantly hydrophilic external domain (19 to 643), (iii) a hydrophobic transmembrane anchor (644 to 673), and (iv) a small hydrophilic cytoplasmic tail at the carboxy terminus (674 to 681). Amino acid analysis indicated that the signal peptide is removed from the mature GP. The GP therefore has the structural features of a type I transmembrane glycoprotein. The external domain of the protein has 19 N-glycosylation sites and several clusters of hydroxyamino acids and proline residues that are likely to be the attachment sites for about 30 O-glycosidic carbohydrate chains. The region extending from positions 585 to 610 shows significant homology to a domain observed in the envelope proteins of several retroviruses and Ebola virus that has been suspected to be responsible for immunosuppressive properties of these viruses. A second open reading frame of gene 4 has the coding capacity for an unidentified polypeptide 112 amino acids long.

AN - 16475699; 2929668 AB - A small open reading frame (ORF) was found in the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) antigenomic RNA encoding a short peptide that shares structural similarity with a region of the hepatitis B virus terminal protein. Analysis of all published HDV genome sequences indicates a high degree of conservation for the small ORF. This ORF is located at the 3'-terminal region of the gene encoding the hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg). We speculated that a peptide encoded by this ORF can be represented as the C-terminal domain of a new protein called HDAg'. This protein contains almost the entire sequence represented in the small form of HDAg and a peptide as an additional "extension" sequence at the C-terminus. Two long synthetic peptides representing the two different types of peptides encoded by the small ORF were synthesized. These peptides were used for the development of an immunoassay for the detection of antibody to the HDAg' specific domain in sera of patients with HDV infection. Among 162 serum samples analyzed, 13 were found to be positive for an antibody reactive with these synthetic peptides. These antibodies were identified in patients with HDV infections and were not found in patients infected with hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, or non-A, non-B, non-C virus. Thus, these data support the identification and existence of a new antigen encoded by the antigenomic RNA of the HDV.

The CFAs were liberated from whole cells by base hydrolysis, methylated, and analyzed by capillary gas-liquid chromatography. The CFA profiles of the two groups were identical and were distinct from CFA profiles of all other bacteria we have previously tested. These data provide support for results from whole-cell protein pattern analysis and DNA-DNA and rRNA-DNA hybridization studies, which show that "Achromobacter groups B and E" are biotypes of single new genus and species.

AN - 16466731; 2922785 AB - Fifty-six state and territorial public health laboratories were surveyed to determine whether currently available rapid methods for the identification and drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were being performed. Forty (71%) laboratories use fluorochrome rather than conventional basic fuchsin stains for screening clinical specimens for acid-fast bacilli. Of the 55 laboratories that routinely culture for mycobacteria, 16 (29%) use the more rapid radiometric methods. Species identification of isolates is done by biochemical tests in 13 (23%) laboratories; 40 (72%) use nucleic acid probes, high-performance liquid chromatography, or the BACTEC rho -nitro- alpha -acetylamino- beta -hydroxypropiophenone (NAP) test (rapid tests); 3 laboratories do not perform species identification. Drug susceptibility testing is performed with solid media by 36 of 45 (80%) laboratories, while the more rapid radiometric methods are used by 9 (20%) laboratories. Compared with the laboratories that use conventional methods, laboratories that use rapid methods report results more quickly: for species identification, 43 days (conventional) versus 22 days (rapid); for drug susceptibility testing; 44 days (conventional) versus 31 days (rapid) from specimen processing. Rapid technologies for microscopy and species identification are being used by many, but not all, state and territorial public health laboratories; however, most laboratories do not use the more rapid radiometric methods for routine culture or drug susceptibility testing of mycobacteria.

AN - 16463467; 2925079 AB - We obtained a catalase-deficient (Kat super(-)) strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae) isolated from a patient who had been unsuccessfully treated with penicillin. Quantitative enzyme assays and electrophoresis of cell extracts on native polyacrylamide gels subsequently stained for catalase and peroxidase activities failed to detect both enzymes. The strain exhibited no growth anomalies or unusual requirements when grown under ordinary laboratory conditions. Partial characterization of the gonococcal catalase from a Kat super(+) laboratory strain revealed that the enzyme had the physical and chemical properties of both catalase and peroxidase.

AN - 16462654; 2920918 AB - We developed and evaluated a rapid test with monoclonal antibodies to identify cultures of Bordetella pertussis . Samples of 5 mu l of cells suspended in formalin-saline were dried onto a nitrocellulose disk. The disk was placed in a filtration device, and 5- mu l volumes of murine monoclonal antibody directed against B. pertussis lipooligosaccharide and peroxidase conjugate were added consecutively, with washing after each addition. The disk was removed and immersed in peroxidase substrate solution. All of 66 B. pertussis isolates confirmed by direct fluorescent-antibody assay were correctly identified by using four different monoclonal antibodies. One of the monoclonal antibodies did not react with over 20 bacterial species tested, including other Bordetella, Acinetobacter, Haemophilus, Moraxella, Mycobacterium, Neisseria , and Staphylococcus spp. This technique detected greater than or equal to 2 mu g of lipooligosaccharide per ml or greater than or equal to 5 x 10 super(8) B. pertussis) cells per ml. This rapid procedure used small amounts of reagents, needed less equipment, and was less subjective and more specific than the direct fluorescent-antibody assay.

AN - 16460093; 2925343 AB - An antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for detecting North American isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi in larval, nymphal, and adult ticks. The assay uses an anti-OspA monoclonal antibody (H5332) for antigen capture and biotin-labelled polyclonal sera with streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase for signal generation. The assay recognized 15 of 15 North American B. burgdorferi isolates and did not cross-react with spirochete antigens of Borrelia hermsii, Borrelia turicatae, Borrelia coriaceae , or Borrelia parkeri , or with tick antigens of Ixodes dammini, Ixodes scapularis, Ixodes pacificus, Ixodes cookei, Ixodes angustus , or Ambylomma americanum . The assay, with a sensitivity of less than 150 spirochetes, can detect infections in larval, nymphal, and adult ticks. In addition to fresh ticks, B. burgdorferi infections in ticks stored frozen, dried, or in 70% ethanol can be determined with the assay.

Rodents infected via tick feeding or inoculation of tick homogenates were more infectious to ticks than rodents infected with culture-derived spirochetes. White laboratory mice were more infectious than hamsters. Three strains of B. burgdorferi (JD1, B31, and WI210) produced batches of infected ticks with > 80% infection when mice were infected with tick-derived material.

Clear racial and ethnic disparities also exist in the occurrence of diseases such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), tuberculosis, and syphilis. Consequently, to identify true risk factors for diseases when planning prevention programs, the effect of socioeconomic status must be differentiated from that of race or ethnicity. Further, different cultural heritages and social structures may affect how interventions are perceived or used and this must also be taken into account when planning programs. The Centers for Disease Control, through its National Center for Prevention Services, Provides financial and technical assistance to state and local health departments to develop approaches that are culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate to reach persons in racial and ethnic minority groups.

AN - 16415020; 2897340 AB - Workers in the electronics industry using gallium arsenide are exposed to hazardous substances such as arsenic, arsine, and various acids. Inorganic arsenic is strongly implicated in respiratory tract and skin cancer. For these reasons, NIOSH researchers conducted a study of control systems for facilities using gallium arsenide. Work practices and the use of personal protective equipment were documented. This paper reports on the controls and the arsenic exposure results from the evaluation of the following gallium arsenide processes: Liquid Encapsulated Czochralski (LEC) and Horizontal Bridgeman (HB) crystal growing, LEC cleaning operations, ingot grinding/wafer sawing, and epitaxy.

Our examination of death rates from 1984 to 1988 reveals no major reduction in the racial gap during the period, despite the initiation of some prevention efforts. We suggest that socioeconomic status rather than race is perhaps the major correlate of the social conditions and lifestyle choices which contribute to these injuries. We propose that injury prevention efforts must target both the causes and the consequences of socioeconomic inequality.

AN - 73257019; 1406567 AB - Alcohol use is directly responsible for hospitalizations resulting from chronic conditions, such as alcoholic liver disease and alcoholic psychoses; in addition, alcohol use can be a contributing factor in other conditions, such as infectious diseases and injuries, that require hospital admission. Based on discharge data from Indian Health Service (IHS) facilities and CDC's National Hospital Discharge Survey (1), the proportion of alcohol-related hospitalizations (ARHs) among American Indians/Alaskan Natives has been reported as 2.5 times that for the total U.S. population. However, these estimates rely on a limited set of alcohol-defined diagnoses that are primarily associated with chronic alcoholism. To characterize more accurately the relation of alcohol use to inpatient admissions to IHS and tribally operated hospitals in the United States, IHS conducted a 1-day survey of ARHs in these facilities on Monday, May 18, 1992. This report summarizes preliminary results from the survey. JF - MMWR.

Forensic deaths (i.e., deaths certified under the medical examiner system) include a substantial proportion of cases for which alcohol use may have contributed to the death; in many cases, this system provides detailed medical information on causes of death because of autopsies and blood alcohol level testing. To further characterize alcohol-related deaths in Westchester County (4,5), the New York Medical College (NYMC) and the Westchester County Department of Laboratories and Research (WCDLR) estimated the total alcohol-related mortality (ARM) and years of potential life lost before age 65 (YPLL) for all deaths certified by the medical examiner for Westchester County, New York, during 1989. This report summarizes the findings and addresses public health applications for estimating ARM employing this method. JF - MMWR.

AN - 72939231; 1584192 AB - Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is a potential occupational carcinogen according to guidelines of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) carcinogen policy (1). Exposure to ETS in the workplace may represent a substantial contribution to lifetime ETS exposure (2). For many persons, ETS irritates the conjunctiva of the eyes (accompanied by reddening, itching, and increased lacrimation) and the mucous membranes of the nose, throat, and lower respiratory tract (accompanied by itching, coughing, and sore throat) (3). As part of the 1988 National Health Interview Survey-Occupational Health Supplement (NHIS-OHS), CDC measured the degree of discomfort caused by ETS in the workplace. The NHIS-OHS collected information on cigarette smoking, workplace smoking restrictions, and perceived discomfort caused by ETS at the workplace. This report summarizes survey findings and describes efforts to reduce ETS at the workplace. JF - MMWR.

The health department referred the case to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which initiated an investigation of company medical-monitoring records and identified 13 workers with elevated BLLs. In May 1991, OSHA requested technical assistance from CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to evaluate the workers for lead intoxication.

The Field Services Branch of the Centers for Disease Control. AN - 72845179; 1312310 AB - Intravenous drug use has played a key role in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic. Standardized surveillance of HIV infection among intravenous drug users (IVDUs) is needed to determine HIV prevalence rates, to monitor changes in prevalence over time, and to describe behaviors associated with HIV infection. In 1987, the Centers for Disease Control began collaborating with state and local health departments to conduct a national program of HIV seroprevalence surveys in a variety of populations and settings. This program includes unlinked HIV seroprevalence surveys in IVDUs entering sentinel drug treatment programs. From April 1988 through December 1989, annual studies were completed in 59 drug treatment centers in 33 US cities. Center-specific seroprevalence rates ranged from 0% to 48.2%, with a median of 4.6%. HIV seroprevalence rates varied widely by geographic area, with rates highest in the Northeast, intermediate in the Middle Atlantic cities of Baltimore and Washington, DC, and lower in other parts of the country. Median rates were 15.6% among African Americans, 3.2% among Hispanics, and 3.3% among Whites. Intravenous drug use is likely to remain an important factor in HIV transmission. This study supports the need to develop or expand programs to prevent the further introduction and spread of HIV among IVDUs and to prevent HIV transmission to their sexual partners.

In Italy, because the average age at diagnosis among IDUs and heterosexual persons with AIDS has been 28 and 32 years, respectively, many may have contracted HIV infection as adolescents or young adults. To determine parents' attitudes about AIDS, drug, and sex education and parents' role in educating their children about AIDS, Italy's National Institute of Health conducted a survey of parents of high school students in Rome. This report summarizes survey findings and recommendations for the introduction of AIDS, drug, and sex education in Italian schools. JF - MMWR.

Factors associated with an increased risk for heterosexual transmission include unprotected sexual intercourse (2), multiple sex partners, and the presence of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) (1). Women who have been surgically sterilized and who are sexually active and/or use injecting drugs may need the same prevention services for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other STDs as similar nonsterilized women; however, the specific needs of sterilized women have not been well characterized. This report compares findings from surveys of surgically sterilized and nonsterilized women in drug-treatment programs in Philadelphia on their drug use and HIV/STD-risk behaviors and assesses changes in risk behaviors among these women after a 9-month period during which family-planning counseling and/or gynecologic services were offered.

The theme for this conference was "FarmSafe 2000: A National Coalition for Local Action." Agricultural safety and health professionals, equipment manufacturers, farmer and migrant health organizations, rural health-care professionals, and agricultural youth organizations met to deliberate on methods to reduce health and safety risks in agriculture. More than 700 persons attended and represented 41 states and Puerto Rico. Through small-group interactive discussions, the conference addressed surveillance, research, and intervention--three public health activities necessary to meet year 2000 national health objectives (1). This report summarizes the issues considered at the conference and recommendations proposed by attendees. JF - MMWR.

In town A, intensive publicity and community participation were used; owners were instructed to bring their dogs to temporary centralized clinics for vaccination. In town B, only brief precampaign publicity was used, followed by vaccination at a centralized site. Minimal publicity was also used in town C, but the vaccination campaign was conducted house to house. Intensive publicity did not increase the overall success of the vaccination program; the efficiency of centralized versus and house-to-house vaccination was comparable.

Regardless of the denominator used (resident population, motorcycle registrations, or motorcycle crashes), states with full helmet-use laws had consistently lower head injury-associated death rates than states without such laws, even when stratified by region. Total motorcycle-related mortality, however, was similar between law groups. On a registration or crash basis, motorcyclists who died in crashes had a fivefold to sixfold higher risk of head injury than those who died using any other type of motor vehicle. Full helmet-use laws were consistently associated with lower rates of head injury-associated death. While disagreement remains on the acceptability of the legislative approach, the scientific basis for motorcycle helmet-use laws as a head injury prevention tool appears sound.

The first confirmed cases occurred in Peru, and by mid-February more than 10,000 patients were being treated weekly. The epidemic spread to involve a new country almost every month, and by year's end 391,000 cases and nearly 4,000 deaths had been reported to the Pan American Health Organization, more cases than reported worldwide during the previous 5 years. Much of our knowledge of epidemic cholera comes from experience with the six previous pandemics of the 1800s and early 1900s. Each pandemic began in Asia, swept through Europe, and some went on to the Americas. All went away within a few years for reasons still unknown. In the 1900s, cholera persisted as a seasonal endemic disease in many areas of Asia until 1961 when a new pandemic began in the Celebes Islands heralded by the novel El Tor biotype of V. cholerae 01. This seventh pandemic spread in Asia and the Middle East and reached Africa in 1970 where it invaded 29 countries in 2 years. Unlike previous pandemics, this pandemic has not gone away.

Case investigations were carried out on 219 of the 280 patients whose infections were reported during the first year of notification. The overall incidence rate for Aeromonas isolation was 10.6 cases per 1 million population. The gastrointestinal tract was the most commonly reported site from which Aeromonas was isolated (81%), with wounds being the next most common source (9%). Five (2%) of the 219 patients died; all five had serious underlying medical conditions apart from aeromonas infection. No common-source enteric outbreaks were reported. The high rate of gastrointestinal symptoms and isolation of organisms from medically vulnerable patients and the fact that other bacterial enteric pathogens were rarely isolated from symptomatic patients support evidence from previous studies that Aeromonas is an enteric pathogen. The evidence from these case reports in California suggests that aeromonas infections are not an important public health problem and are largely nonpreventable. Thus, public health surveillance is not necessary and mandatory reporting has been discontinued. JF - Clinical Infectious Diseases AU - King, GE AU - Werner, S B AU - Kizer, K W AD - Div.

In a retrospective review of N. transvalensis isolates referred to the Centers for Disease Control (Atlanta) during the period January 1981 through January 1990, we identified 15 patient isolates. Four N. transvalensis isolates originated from one Australian reference laboratory; one patient's isolate that was identified by the Australian laboratory but that was not received at the Centers for Disease Control was also included in our study. A review of the cases of these 16 patients found that N. transvalensis caused infection in 10 patients and colonization in two patients. Six (75%) of eight patients with primary pulmonary or disseminated N. transvalensis infections had an underlying immunologic disorder or were receiving immunosuppressive therapy; three patients with disseminated infection died. All nine infected patients for whom specific antimicrobial therapy was prescribed received trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Results of in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility tests of 11 N. transvalensis isolates revealed increased antimicrobial resistance to amikacin and other drugs when compared with that of other Nocardia species. Severely immunocompromised patients are predisposed to N. transvalensis pneumonia or disseminated infection, and the lung may be the portal of entry.

Topical chloramphenicol is routinely used to treat conjunctivitis in areas affected by BPF in Brazil. Although the BPF clone is susceptible to chloramphenicol, we observed a number of children treated with topical chloramphenicol for conjunctivitis who still developed BPF. During an investigation of an outbreak of BPF in Mato Grosso State, Brazil, we compared oral rifampin (20 mg/kg/day for 4 days) with topical chloramphenicol for eradication of conjunctival carriage of H. influenzae biogroup aegyptius among children with presumed BPF clone conjunctivitis. Conjunctival samples were taken for culture on the day treatment was initiated and a mean of 8 and 21 days later. At 8 days the eradication rates for oral rifampin and topical chloramphenicol were 100 and 44%, respectively; at 21 days they were 100 and 50%. Oral rifampin was more effective than topical chloramphenicol for eradication of the BPF clone and may be useful in prevention of BPF.

The haemolytic activity of LLO was stabilized by eluting it directly into tubes containing an alkaline buffer (5 mM lysine, 140 mM KCl, 50% ethylene glycol, pH 11.5). The purified LLO retained 100% of its haemolytic activity after 6 weeks of storage at -20 degree C. LLO purified from a strain of L. monocytogenes serotype 1/2a (ATCC 43249) and LLO purified from a strain of L. monocytogenes serotype 4b (F 2365) isolated from a Mexican-style cheese, showed no significant differences in pH and temperature stability. When incubated in buffers at pH values from 4 to 12 at 4 degree C and 25 degree C, LLO from serotypes 1/2a and 4b retained maximal haemolytic activity at pH 8 after 4 h of incubation. LLO from both serotypes lost their haemolytic activity after incubation at 50 degree C for 25 min.

Epidemiologic investigators traced the cause to an unknown contaminant in L-tryptophan (LT) dietary supplement tablets. Of the more than 50 contaminants found in the LT material by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis, a contaminant identified as 1,1'-ethylidenebis [L-tryptophan] (EBT) was the only one that had a marked association with EMS cases. In this report we describe studies in which we incubated EBT in simulated gastric fluid, followed the course of its breakdown into other products, and identified all of those products.

This fla target, amplified with nested primers, was conserved among all 80 strains of B. burgdorferi tested. Strains examined included cultures from ticks, humans, and rodents from major B. burgdorferi-endemic regions of the United States and parts of Europe and Asia. Templates from B. hermsii, B. parkeri, B. turicatae, and B. coriaceae were not amplified, nor were eukaryotic DNAs from three tick genera. Several host DNAs potentially present in a tick blood meal also were not amplified. Approximately six B. burgdorferi per PCR reaction could be detected by ethidium bromide staining of amplified DNA. Colony-raised Ixodes dammini were used to evaluate the method. One infected nymph in a pool of 40 ticks was routinely detected. The specificity of the assay for detecting B. burgdorferi-infected ticks in pools was 94% (29 of 31). This protocol should prove useful for assessing infection rates in other putative arthropod vectors.

Screening for genotypic resistance instead of phenotypic susceptibility marks a change in philosophy for the clinical laboratory, but that change is consistent with the increased use of molecular diagnostic methods.

AN - 16647700; 3008940 AB - Three selective enrichment procedures-the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) method, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) method, and the Netherlands Government Food Inspection Service (NGFIS) method-were compared for isolating Listeria monocytogenes from contaminated foods. The foods were obtained from the refrigerators of patients with culture-proven listeriosis who were identified through multistate active surveillance in a U.S. population of 19 million. The study was designed to identify foods that may be important in transmission of L. monocytogenes in sporadic cases of human listeriosis. Of 899 foods analyzed by all three methods, 121 were positive for L. monocytogenes by at least one method. The three enrichment methods detected L. monocytogenes in 65% (FDA), 74% (USDA), and 74% (NGFIS) of the foods shown to contain L. monocytogenes . The differences among the three methods were not statistically significant. However, the recovery of L. monocytogenes by a combination of any two methods (USDA-FDA 88%, USDA-NGFIS 91%, FDA-NGFIS 87%) was significantly better than that by one method alone. The differences among the combinations of methods were not statistically significant. These results suggest that at least two enrichment methods must be used in combination to recover L. monocytogenes from contaminated foods with a success rate near 90%. Correlations were observed between negative results and low (<0.3 CFU/g) level of L. monocytogenes contamination for the USDA and NGFIS methods. A similar but somewhat weaker association was observed for the FDA method.

Mycolic acid patterns of BCG eluted from the column 0.5 min before M. tuberculosis or M. bovis, resulting in relative retention times for two peaks not seen in the pattern of M. tuberculosis or M. bovis. Identification was confirmed by phage typing, which has been the standard procedure for confirmation of BCG strains. These results showed that high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of mycolic acid esters can be used in the mycobacterial reference laboratory for separation of BCG from M. tuberculosis and M. bovis.

AN - 16541447; 2975334 AB - Cases of adult botulism (n = 309) were studied to identify clinical differences between toxin types and to evaluate the sensitivity of diagnostic laboratory testing. Patients with illness from type E toxin had the shortest incubation periods. Sporadic case-patients were more severely ill: 85% required intubation compared with only 42% in multiperson outbreaks. Of patients with type A botulism, 67% required intubation compared with 52% with type B and 39% with type E. Toxin testing was positive for 40%-44% of serum and stool specimens obtained within 3 days of toxin ingestion and for 15%-23% of specimens obtained thereafter, while 37% of stool specimens obtained >3 days after toxin ingestion were positive by culture. Patients with type A botulism have more severe illness. In general, specimens obtained early are more likely to be positive by toxin assay, and stool cultures are more sensitive than toxin detection for specimens obtained later in the illness.

AN - 16541421; 2974831 AB - We present a computerized pattern recognition model used to speciate mycobacteria based on their restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) banding patterns. DNA fragment migration distances were normalized to minimize lane-to-lane variability of band location both within and among gels through the inclusion of two internal size standards in each sample. The computer model used a library of normalized RFLP patterns derived from samples of known origin to create a probability matrix which was then used to classify the RFLP patterns from samples of unknown origin. The probability matrix contained the proportion of bands that fell within defined migration distance windows for each species in the library of reference samples. These proportions were then used to compute the likelihood that the banding pattern of an unknown sample corresponded to that of each species represented in the probability matrix. As a test of this process, we developed an automated, computer-assisted model for the identification of Mycobacterium species based on their normalized RFLP banding patterns. The probability matrix contained values for the M. tuberculosis complex, M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. kansasii and M. gordonae species. Thirty-nine independent strains of known origin, not included in the probability matrix, were used to test the accuracy of the method in classifying unknowns: 37 of 39 (94.9%) were classified correctly. An additional set of 16 strains of known origin representing species not included in the model were tested to gauge the robustness of the probability matrix. Every sample was correctly identified as an outlier, i.e. a member of a species not included in the original matrix. This strategy may be readily adapted to other chromatographic and electrophoretic systems that generate peak profiles or banding patterns.

AN - 16539747; 2975332 AB - During October 1988 through January 1990, a study of sporadic Yersinia enterocolitica infections was done in the Oslo region to assess the clinical impact and risk factors for this disease. Sixty-seven case-patients (mean age, 23.4 years) and 132 population-based age- and sex-matched controls were enrolled. Among patients who were well when interviewed, illness lasted a mean of 20 days, but 10% of the others remained symptomatic a year later. Bloody diarrhea occurred only in persons <18 years old; joint pain was more common in adults. Prolonged carriage was found in 47% of patients after resolution of symptoms. Patients were less likely to shed the organism after antimicrobial treatment (relative risk 0.3). Case-patients were more likely than controls to have antecedent enteric illness (odds ratio, 8.2). Y. enterocolitica infection in Norway is notable for its severity and chronicity. Postsymptomatic shedding, which occurs commonly, may be reduced by antimicrobial treatment.

AN - 16538740; 2971799 AB - A two-step assay combining a gene amplification step and a restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was developed to differentiate the Mycobacterium species that account for >90% of potentially pathogenic isolates and >86% of all isolates in clinical laboratories in the United States. These species are M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. kansasii , and M. gordonae . With lysates of pure cultures as the template, two oligonucleotide primers that amplified an similar to 1,380-bp portion of the hsp65 gene from all 139 strains of 19 Mycobacterium species tested, but not from the 19 non-Mycobacterium species tested, were identified. Digestion of the amplicons from 126 strains of the six most commonly isolated Mycobacterium species with the restriction enzymes BstNI and XhoI in separate reactions generated restriction fragment patterns that were distinctive for each of these species, except for those of M. tuberculosis and M. bovis , which were not distinguishable. By including size standards in each sample, the restriction fragment profiles could be normalized to a fixed distance and the similarities of patterns could be calculated by using a computer-aided comparison program. The availability of this data base should enable the identification of an unknown Mycobacterium strain to the species level by a comparison of the restriction fragment pattern of the unknown with the data base of known patterns.

AN - 16522527; 2961347 AB - Streptococcus pneumoniae , type 23F, resistant to penicillin (MIC, 2 mu g/mL) and multiple other antimicrobic agents, was isolated from middle ear fluid of a child with otitis media attending a day care center in Ohio. To determine the extent of spread of this strain, nasopharyngeal culture surveys were done, and 52 carriers were identified among 250 children attending the index day care center. No carriers were found among 121 children at two other day care centers in the same urban area. Use of prophylactic doses of antibiotics and frequent use of antibiotics were risk factors for nasopharyngeal carriage. Carriers were more likely to have had frequent otitis media episodes and otitis media not responsive to antimicrobial therapy. Strategies to limit the spread of highly resistant pneumococcal strains should include encouraging judicious use of antimicrobic agents and reevaluating indications for prophylactic use of antimicrobic agents.

AN - 16517806; 2958817 AB - Subjects were tested for neurobehavioral performance in an environmental chamber to detect the presence of subclinical central nervous system effects from 4-hr exposures to methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) at 100 ppm, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) at 200 ppm, MIBK at 50 ppm with MEK at 100 ppm, or a placebo (i.e., a 5-min presentation of 25 ppm MEK-MIBK at each exposure period outset). The chemical exposures produced statistically significant performance effects on only 4 of 32 measures (% correct responses-visual vigilance, movement time-CRT, SRT, % incorrect responses-dual task). These effects, however, were not substantial and could not be attributed directly to the chemical exposures. Alcohol ingestion, however, produced significant decrements on every performance test except memory scanning and mood. An interaction occurred between gender and alcohol ingestion, such that more statistically significant performance decrements were found for females than for males.

AN - 16517546; 2960787 AB - Short-term use (less than 1 year) of oral contraceptives has been associated with increased to slightly decreased risks of epithelial ovarian cancer in several studies. To determine what might account for a statistically significant 40% reduction in risk associated with a little as 3 to 6 months of use, a finding previously reported from the Cancer an Steroid Hormone Study, and to consider the implications for mechanisms of pathogenesis, the authors compared numerous characteristics of short-term users of oral contraceptives (41 cases, 412 controls) with those of never users (242 cases, 1,517 controls). The reduced risk among short-term users consistently restricted to women who stopped using oral contraceptives for medical reasons, which were essentially side effects; there was little evidence of a protective effect among women who stopped for nonmedical reasons. Factors such as age, parity, family history of ovarian cancer, estrogen dose, history of sterilization, and latency (interval from first use) could not account for the finding.

AN - 16506650; 2948870 AB - In late October 1989, over 1,500 cases of an unusual illness involving severe myalgia and striking peripheral eosinophilia were reported in the United States and several other countries. Other clinical manifestations induced pulmonary involvement (interstitial infiltrates and pleural effusions), skin rash and edema, axonal polyneuropathy, perimyositis, and possible adverse neurocognitive effects. Because of the primary manifestations of the illness, it was named "eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome" (EMS) by the Centers for Disease Control. Epidemiologic studies clearly linked illness to the ingestion of tryptophan produced by a single manufacturer in Japan, and the time course of the epidemic was most consistent with its being caused by a product contaminant.

AN - 16493776; 2944042 AB - Portable power tools and appliances can be identified as the source of injury in approximately 9% of occupational electrocutions. A search of fatality records for 1984 through 1986 in National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) data bases identified 102 electrocutions involving portable appliances and tools that used 110-volt AC and 33 deaths involving welding equipment, which usually operates on 220-volt AC or higher. Of these 102 deaths, 51 occurred in the construction industry, 13 in services, 13 in manufacturing, and 25 in other industries. Plumbing contractors (Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 1711) had the largest number of deaths (15) in construction. Powered hand-tools were involved in 58 deaths, with electric drills (23) and saws (13) the two largest classes. Proper provision of groundfault circuit interrupter protection, particularly at temporary work sites, could have prevented most of the deaths from 110-volt AC. JF - J. OCCUP. MED.

AN - 16483674; 2934941 AB - The extended phage-typing scheme described for Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli has established 46 different phage types using 19 typing phages. Altogether 754 Campylobacter isolates, 672 C. jejuni and 82 C. coli , isolated from human and non-human sources received from 17 different countries were phage-typed. Overall, 80.6% of the total isolates were typable. Among typable strains, 9 phage types represented 57.0% of the strains, 21.3% of the strains belonged to another 37 phage types and the remaining 2.3% of isolates were designated atypical. The most common phage type 11 was frequently observed among C. jejuni isolates from human and non-human sources, whereas type 44 was frequent among C. coli isolates from human and from non-human sources. A study of the animal host-associations of common phage types showed that contaminated cattle and poultry appear to be the most common sources of human infection. The greatest variety of phage types was observed in Canada (24 phage types), followed by portugal (17 types) and the UK (14 types), reflecting the larger sample sizes from these countries. Phage type 11 was encountered in 12 different countries and prevalence of other phage types varied from one country to another. The number of isolates typable with the scheme varied from 93.2% in Canada to 61.0% in Thailand. However, the number and diversity of phage types makes phage-typing the method of choice in epidemiological studies of campylobacter infections. JF - Epidemiology and infection.

AN - 16477869; 2930780 AB - Vaccinia virus recombinants were constructed that incorporated genomic sequences coding for the nucleoprotein (N) and glycoproteins (G1 and G2) of the hantavirus R22 strain isolated from a rat in China, and designated as RNV and RMV9, respectively. The proteins expressed by RNV and RMV9 were identified by radioimmunoprecipitation and indirect immunofluorescence assay using a panel of monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal immune sera, and were found to be antigenically indistinguishable from authentic R22 viral proteins. Both RNV and RMV9 elicited an anti-R22 antibody response in Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus ) with titers ranging from 6,400 to 12,800 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, but only RMV9 produced neutralizing antibodies to R22 virus (titer 1:200) and Hantaan (HTN) virus (titer 1:20). Our data show that the common antigenic sites responsible for eliciting a protective response are located mainly on hantavirus glycoproteins, and that the nucleoprotein may also confer partial cross-protection that presumably involves cell-mediated as well as humoral mechanisms.

AN - 16432748; 2904945 AB - A novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) utilizing a monoclonal anti-idiotype specific for CMVB1, and antibody to HCMV. Samples of HCMV were measured by their inhibition of the binding of CMVB1 to anti-idiotype. The ELISA detected HCMV in a concentration-dependent manner from 20 to 0.6 x 10 super(3) PFU/ml, with 50% inhibition in approx. 3 x 10 super(3) PFU/ml. These data demonstrate the potential of anti-idiotype antibodies as the basis of simple and rapid diagnostic tests for infectious agents.

AN - 16432191; 2909074 AB - A major 98-kDa extracellular protein antigen of Blastomyces dermatitidis was shown in Western blot (immunoblot) analysis to be highly reactive with serum antibodies from patients with blastomycosis. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of yeast from B. dermatitidis culture filtrates and cell extracts demonstrated over 50 proteins, only 24 of which were immunoreactive. Of these, a 98-kDa protein was found to be the most specific and was isolated. This protein was found in both broth culture filtrates and extracts of yeast forms. Western blot tests with this antigen detected serum antibodies in 91% of 32 patients with clinically proven blastomycosis, in contrast to an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with DEAE-purified antigen, which detected 88% of the cases. Comparison of the 98-kDa antigen with a previously described 120-kDa yeast form cell wall protein antigen of B. dermatitidis showed that these two antigens are almost identical.

AN - 16420364; 2895517 AB - The effect of low-level body burdens of lead on the intelligence of children, as measured by intelligence quotient (IQ), was assessed. We reviewed 35 reports from five longitudinal studies conducted in the United States and Australia. In each of these studies, infants were followed for 58 mo or less. Inconsistencies were as follows: (a) there were few instances in which IQ and blood-lead levels were measured at comparable times in different studies: (b) incompatibilities existed among the studies, including differences in independent variables, data transformations, and statistical parameters reported; (c) results conflicted when measurement intervals were comparable (i.e., heterogeneity; (d) patterns of regression and correlation coefficients were inconsistent; and (e) data were insufficient to interconvert the parameters reported.

AN - 16413524; 2895969 AB - In late January 1991, epidemic cholera appeared in Peru. Within 2 months, 7922 cases and 17 deaths occurred in Piura, a Peruvian city of 361,868. A hospital-based culture survey showed that 79%-86% of diarrhea cases were cholera. High vibriocidal antibody titers were detected in 34% of the asymptomatic population. A study of 50 case-patients and 100 matched controls demonstrated that cholera was associated with drinking unboiled water (odds ratio (OR), 3.9; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.7-8.9), drinking beverages from street vendors (OR, 14.6; CI, 4.2-51.2), and eating food from street vendors (OR, 24.0; CI, 3.0-191). In a second study, patients were more likely than controls to consume beverages with ice (OR, 4.0; CI, 1.1-18.3). Ice was produced from municipal water. Municipal water samples revealed no or insufficient chlorination, and fecal coliform bacteria were detected in samples from 6 of 10 wells tested. With epidemic cholera spreading throughout Latin America, these findings emphasize the importance of safe municipal drinking water.

AN - 16402383; 2888729 AB - The ability to acquire iron from a human host is a major determinant in the pathogenesis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis . Pathogenic Neisseria spp. do not synthesize siderophores and instead express a receptor-mediated, high-affinity iron acquisition system in the iron-restricted environment of its host. A ferric-iron-binding protein (Fbp) of Neisseria spp. is also iron-regulated and may play a central role in this novel iron-uptake system. To define the physical properties of Fbp further, we used polymerase chain reaction to synthesize DNA fragments containing the fbp structural gene with and without the sequence encoding the Fbp leader peptide. These fragments were ligated into pUC13 to create in-frame fusions with the alpha peptide of lacZ. The expression fo Fbp was under the control of the lacZ promoter. Both fusion clones produced Fbp in large amounts, facilitating the purification of quantities of Fbp sufficient for elucidating the biochemical, immunologic, and functional properties of this protein.

AN - 16388134; 2881868 AB - Because subunit vaccines may create artificial epitopes, the goal of this study was to concentrate the immune response toward protective epitopes contained in a peptide, ((NAGG) sub(5)) Y. This peptide consisted of five repeat sequences of the immunodominant epitope of the circumsporozoite protein of the simian malaria parasite Plasmodium cynomolgi) and a terminal tyrosine. It was conjugated to bovine serum albumin and mixed with various adjuvant formulations, including block copolymers L121, L141, L180.5 and a lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Outbred mice were vaccinated with seven vaccine formulations. Although all groups elicited a high antibody response to the peptide ((NAGG) sub(5)Y), the presence of the tyrosine induced a different antibody response to the peptide (NAGG) sub(5), and formulations containing LPS alone did not induce an antibody response to either (NAGG) sub(5) or P. cynomolgi) sporozoites. The formulation including both LPS and the copolymer L121 was the only one to inhibit the development of P. cynomolgi sporozoites in rhesus monkey hepatocytes by 50%. These results suggest that vaccine formulations influence B-cell epitope selection. JF - Vaccine AU - Millet, P AU - Kalish, M L AU - Collins, W E AU - Hunter, R L AD - Malaria Branch, Div. Parasit.

AN - 16387840; 2876888 AB - Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates resistant to penicillin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline and sulfamethoxazole-trimethroprim are being recovered with increasing frequency in the United States. We analyzed the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) genotypes, and ribotypes of 22 multiresistant serotype 23F isolates of S. pneumoniae from the United States and 1 isolate each from Spain and South Africa. Also included were seven multiresistant isolates of other serotypes, three penicillin-resistant but chloramphenicol-susceptible serotype 23F isolates, and two penicillin-susceptible isolates (one penicillin-susceptible isolate was serotype 23F). Fifteen of the 22 multiresistant isolates from the United States and the isolates from Spain and South Africa had identical PBP patterns, MLEE profiles, and ribotypes. Six of the remaining seven multiresistant isolates were related by PBP pattern, but demonstrated slightly different MLEE and/or ribotype profiles, possibly because of acquisition of additional resistance markers (four of the six isolates were also resistant to erythromycin). These data strongly suggest that a multiresistant clone of S. pneumoniae serotype 23F that is related to multiresistant isolates from Spain and South Africa has become disseminated in the United States.

Salicin fermentation-esculin hydrolysis (25 degree C, 48 h) correctly identified all 63 (100% sensitivity) strains of the pathogenic serotypes and 34 of 37 (92% specificity) strains of the nonpathogenic serotypes. The results of the pyrazinamidase and salicin-esculin tests disagreed for only 7 of the 100 strains of Y. enterocolitica , and these would require additional testing.

AN - 16367096; 2856768 AB - The object of this study was to evaluate heterosexual transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the prevalence of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection in female prostitutes. The overall prevalence of past or present HBV infection was 56%:74% in women who were injecting-drug users (IDUs), 38% in women reporting no history of injecting-drug use (non-IDUs), 51% in whites, 55% in blacks, and 67% in Hispanics. Of 21 HBV carrier IDUs, 21% had HDV infection; of 18 HBV carrier non-IDUs, 6% had HDV infection. In non-IDUs (49%), risk factors for HBV infection were a history of having penile-anal intercourse (odds ratio (OR), 3.1; 95% confidence limits (CL), 1.3, 7.3) and seropositivity for syphilis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

AN - 16350749; 2847169 AB - An epidemic of meningococcal disease occurred in Nairobi, Kenya, during 1989, outside the "meningitis belt" of sub-Saharan Africa. About 3800 cases occurred between April and November (250/100,000 population). The case-fatality rate was 9.4% among hospitalized patients. Areas that included Nairobi's largest slums had particularly high attack rates. The epidemic displayed an unusual age distribution, with high attack rates among those 20-29 years old. A vaccination campaign was conducted. By early January, the weekly case count had fallen to 25 from a high of 272 (in September). A case-control study estimated the vaccine efficacy to be 87% (95% confidence interval, 67%-95%). A model estimated that the vaccination campaign reduced the number of cases by at least 20%.

AN - 16350181; 2851496 AB - To improve the understanding of the relative importance of serotypes of rotavirus in dehydrating diarrhea, we examined the correlation of clinical characteristics and disease severity with serotype in 2,441 diarrheal episodes among children younger than 2 years of age in rural Bangladesh. Of 764 rotavirus-associated episodes, a single G type (serotype 1, 2, 3, or 4) was determined by oligonucleotide probe in 485 (63%), while 233 episodes were nontypeable. Episodes with G types 2 and 3 were associated with more-severe dehydration than episodes associated with G type 1 or 4 or with nontypeable rotavirus. Episodes did not differ by G type in prevalence of vomiting, copious diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain, or length of treatment center stay. Rotavirus reinfections were detected in seven children, with homologous reinfection (G type 2) in one. Twelve children with diarrhea who died had rotavirus detected in stool specimens within 30 days of death. Children who died were more likely to be malnourished than were surviving children with rotavirus diarrhea.

AN - 16342005; 2847437 AB - Two small plasmids of 11.5 and 9.5 kb, each carrying an aphA-7 kanamycin phosphotransferase gene, were studied. The MICs of kanamycin for the two human Campylobacter jejuni isolates harboring the plasmids were 10,000 and 5000 mu g/ml, while the MICs of amikacin were 32 and 8 mu g/ml, respectively. The MICs of gentamicin and tobramycin were less than or equal to 2 mu g/ml for both isolates. The restriction endonuclease maps of the plasmids were similar, with the larger plasmid showing two discrete regions of additional DNA. When the aphA-7 gene from each plasmid was cloned into pBR322, the aphA-7 gene expressed the kanamycin resistance phenotype in Escherichia coli . For transformants containing the clones aphA-7 gene, kanamycin MICs were greater than or equal to 128 mu g/ml. The aphA-7 gene was also subcloned from the plasmid pFKT4420 into the E. coli-Streptococcus shuttle vector pDL278 and was transformed into Streptococcus gordonii Challis. For streptococcal transformants containing the novel plasmid, kanamycin MICs were 4000 mu g/ml. In the presence of a tetracycline resistance plasmid, both small plasmids could be mobilized during conjugal matings to Campylobacter coli recipients.

AN - 16340126; 2849546 AB - The human immune response to natural infection with Borrelia burgdorferi appears to differ from that seen in small mammals infected by needle inoculation. In humans, antibody to outer surface proteins A and B (OspA and OspB) is not detectable until late in infection, but small mammals inoculated with B. burgdorferi produce early antibody to OspA and OspB. To investigate this disparity we compared the immune response in hamsters to B. burgdorferi after needle inoculation with cultured organisms or infected tick homogenates with the immune response after tick transmitted (natural) infection. Our results suggest that the hamster immune response to tick-transmitted B. burgdorferi differs from the response to needle inoculated, cultured organisms.

AN - 16339636; 2847337 AB - Synthetic peptides, anti-idiotypic antibodies (anti-Id) and human and murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were used to further define a major antigenic domain on the outer membrane P1 protein (OMP) of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Synthetic peptides were elaborated from the known primary sequences of the P1 protein of prototype Hib strains MinnA (OMP subtype 1H) and 8358 (OMP subtype 6U). By peptide mapping, antibodies are categorized into three groups: A, B and C. A first epitope on the P1 from strain MinnA was identified by the reactivity of one set of murine anti-P1 mAbs with the two overlapping peptides 11H and 13H, corresponding to amino acid residues 384-412 and 400-437, respectively. Our studies demonstrated the presence of several distinct surface-exposed B-cell epitopes within the antigenic domain which was defined previously on the P1 protein of Hib MinnA. Furthermore, we showed the immunodominance of this region on two different P1 proteins.

Itraconazole manifested the strongest activity against all of the 10 isolates of P. marneffei and would be the drug of choice in the treatment of penicilliosis due to P. marneffei . The polyene antibiotics amphotericin B and hamycin and their water-soluble analogs showed no appreciable activity against P. insidiosum . Pytium insidiosum isolates were sensitive to fluconazole, ketoconazole, and miconazole. Miconazole exhibited the strongest in vitro activity against all of the 8 isolates of P. insidiosum , followed by ketoconazole.

AN - 16333600; 2842401 AB - Synthetic peptides from the envelope sequence of Murray Valley encephalitis (MVE) virus were previously evaluated in various strains of mice for the induction of antibody and the in vitro proliferation of peptide-primed T-helper (Th) cells. MVE peptide 6 (amino acids 230 to 251) elicited reciprocal Th- and B-cell reactivity with native MVE virus after primary inoculation of C57BL/6 mice. In this study, we prepared overlapping subunit peptides of MVE peptide 6 and evaluated their immunogenicity. Analysis of these peptides delineated at least two B-cell epitopes that induced antibody reactive with MVE and other Japanese encephalitis serocomplex viruses.

Overall agreement of MICs ( plus or minus 1 log sub(2) dilution) was 97.3% for staphylococci, 94.6% for gram-negative bacilli, and 100.0% for enterococci. The MIC results for C. jejuni) showed an overall agreement of only 82.9%. This was due primarily to a number of offscale values that limited the number of comparisons with clindamycin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and tetracycline.

AN - 16322721; 2842912 AB - Rhodococcus equi , an unusual gram positive aerobic actinomycete, was first described as a respiratory pathogen of livestock in 1923. Reports of human clinical illness have emphasized R. equi as a cause of invasive pulmonary infection in severely immunocompromised patients and, recently, have implicated it as a cause of pneumonia, bacteremia and disseminated infection in HIV-infected patients. To determine the distribution of R. equi we evaluated 107 isolates referred to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) during the period January 1973 through December 1990. The sites of these 107 isolates (101 patient and 6 animal isolates) were: blood (32 isolates), sputum (30), lung tissue (13) and other site (32).

AN - 16315578; 2835888 AB - A case-control study was conducted to assess the effect of occupational exposures on the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Interviews were conducted with 303 persons with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma newly diagnosed from Jan 1, 1980, to May 31, 1982, among residents of the Boston, MA, metropolitan area and 303 age and gender matched controls. The study found an increased risk of disease among persons employed in the agriculture, forestry, and fishing industry (relative risk (RR) = 3.0); the construction industry (RR = 2.1); and the leather industry (RR = 2.1). The particular job groupings at increased risk were plant farmers and gardeners (RR unbounded); painters and plasterers (RR = 6.0); and carpenters, brick and stone masons, plumbers, and roofers (RR = 12.0). Although other exposures may have led to these increased risks, the findings in this study are consistent with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for workers who may be exposed to chlorophenols or phenoxyacetic acids.

AN - 16267636; 2800819 AB - We measured sensitive indicators of renal damage in three different populations occupationally exposed to cadmium, and examined the degree of variation in damage and the relative sensitivity of different types of indicators. The three studies included (1) men exposed in a cadmium recovery plant, (2) men exposed in a nickel/cadmium battery plant, and (3) women exposed in the latter plant. The indicators of renal damage were urinary proteins in three categories: (1) the high molecular weight enzymes alanine aminopeptidase (AAP) and N-acetyl- beta -D-glucosaminidase (NAG), (2) the intermediate molecular weight protein albumin (ALB), and (3) the low molecular weight proteins retinol-binding protein (RBP) and beta sub(2)-microglobulin (B2M). These testes indicate that exposed groups with higher urine cadmium levels had varying degr esof renal damage. All exposed groups showed evidence of renal damage when compared with their respective control groups.

AN - 16261295; 2786820 AB - A Listeria monocytogenes -specific, acridinium-ester-labelled DNA probe was evaluated in a chemiluminescent homogeneous protection assay (HPA) for the rapid confirmation of suspect L. monocytogenes colonies from blood agar plates. The HPA uses an acridinium-ester-labelled chemiluminescent DNA probe in a free-solution hybridization format. After the DNA probe hybridized with the target ribosomal RNA, the acridinium label on the unhybridized probe was inactivated by a chemical differential hydrolysis step. The assay can be completed in 30 to 45 min and allows for simultaneous processing of several (50-100) samples. The probe showed 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity for L. monocytogenes when evaluated in the HPA against L. monocytogenes , other Listeria species and other Gram-positive bacteria.

AN - 16250908; 2786029 AB - We have been investigating the T-helper (T sub(h))-cell response to the flavivirus envelope (E) glycoprotein. In our studies with Murray Valley encephalitis (MVE) virus, we previously identified synthetic peptides capable of priming T sub(h) lymphocytes for an in vitro antivirus proliferative response. We have now characterized in vivo T sub(h)-cell priming activity of one of these peptides (MVE 17, amino acids 356 to 376) and an analogous peptide derived from the E-glycoprotein sequence of the dengue (DEN) 2, Jamaica strain (DEN 17, amino acids 352 to 368). A more detailed analysis of the structural interactions between T sub(h)-cell and B-cell epitope donor peptides revealed that the peptides must be linked to observe the enhanced antibody response. Blockage or deletion of the free cysteine residue on either peptide abrogated the antibody response. The most efficient T-B-cell epitope interaction occurred when the peptides were colinearly synthesized. The T sub(h)-cell-stimulating peptides were also functional with the heterologous B-cell epitope-containing peptides. The T sub(h)-cell epitope on DEN 17 was more potent than the T sub(h)-cell epitope on MVE 17.

AN - 16243033; 2761231 AB - Some protozoans isolated from aquatic habitats, including domestic water supplies, can support the intracellular replication of autochthonous legionellae in vitro. We studied the effect of incubating water samples containing amoebae on the sensitivity of culture for legionellae. Samples collected during investigations of legionellosis epidemics and shown by conventional culture procedures to contain amoebae, but not legionellae, were incubated at 35 degree C and replated. Legionellae were recovered from 59 of 144 such samples. Species isolated included L. pneumophila , L. anisa , L. bozemanii , L. gormanii , L. micdadei , L. rubrilucens , L. sainthelensi , L. steigerwaltii , and an unnamed species. Acanthamoeba polyphaga , Acanthamoeba hatchetti , a Rosculus sp., Hartmannella vermiformis and Vahlkampfia spp. were among the autochthonous amoebae identified. Legionellae were recovered by this procedure from only 3 of 63 samples that were negative for amoebae by conventional culture procedures.

Test chemicals were selected from a list of 47 agents recommended for the evaluation of assays in vitro for developmental toxicants. In addition to testing the effects of chemicals on intercellular communication, a separate cytotoxicity assay determined the concentration of each chemical that inhibited clonal expansion of V79 cells. Seven of the 29 designated teratogens were positive for inhibition of intercellular communication in the V79 assay. Additionally, four teratogens and one non-teratogen inhibited intercellular communication at only a single concentration or at cytotoxic concentrations and were scored as equivocal.

AN - 16149889; 2700195 AB - A new set of quantities for applied health physics has been proposed by the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements with the recommendation that they be based on the ICRU sphere phantom model. The quantities proposed for individual monitoring, which incorporate specific nonisotropic angular response properties, are designed to provide an estimate of an individual's H sub(E) and are the individual dose equivalent, both superficial (effective dose equivalent, H sub(s)(d)) and penetrating (penetrating effective dose equivalent, H sub(p)(d)). Our study of typical dosimeter wearing practices indicated that there were no consistent locations on or angular orientations of dosimeters to the wearer's body. This demonstrated a difficulty in the practical implementation of personnel dosimeters having an angular response approximating H sub(p)(d) for a specifically selected point on a body, rather than the traditionally assumed design goal of dosimeters using an isotropic response.

AN - 72558457; 1749369 AB - The number of homeless persons in the United States has been estimated to range from 600,000 to 3 million (Dr. Barbara Cohen, The Urban Institute, personal communication, 1991), with higher concentrations of these persons in several large urban centers. Because of the circumstances of homelessness, neither the health status nor the public health needs of these persons are well defined. In Dade County (which includes incorporated Miami), Florida (1990 population: 1.9 million), the average daily number of persons who are homeless is estimated to be 6000; during a 1-year period, approximately 10,000 persons are homeless at some time (Dr. Andrew Cherry, Barry University, Miami, personal communication, 1991). This report presents findings from a survey conducted in August 1991 to assess the health risks of homeless persons in Dade County seeking services from the Community Homeless Assistance Plan (CHAP), a pilot case-management project that places homeless persons into housing, jobs, and appropriate social services.

The major breakdown product of metam sodium, methylisothiocyanate (MITC), is a known skin irritant at high concentrations (greater than 1%). By July 21, the concentration of MITC in the river, at multiple test sites, measured 20-40 parts per billion (0.01%).

AN - 72548646; 1746656 AB - The prevalence of HIV-related behaviors and determinants of these behaviors among adolescents in the United States have not been well studied. To determine the prevalence of HIV-related drug behaviors and to assess the effects of HIV-related school-based instruction and HIV knowledge on these behaviors, data were analyzed from a 39-item, self-administered questionnaire completed by a probability sample of all students in grades 9 through 12 in the United States. Usable responses were obtained from 8098 students. Of these, 2.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.3-3.2) and 1.7% (95% CI = 1.3-2.1) reported injecting illicit drugs ever and during the past year, respectively. Corresponding prevalences of needle sharing were 0.8% (95% CI = 0.5-1.1) and 0.5% (95% CI = 0.3-0.7). Regression analysis revealed that students with higher knowledge scores were less likely and males more likely to have ever injected drugs. HIV knowledge was similarly associated with other outcome measures of drug-injection behavior. Although HIV instruction did not directly influence drug-injection behavior independently of demographic characteristics, it was positively associated with HIV knowledge. While these results do not establish a causal relationship, they suggest that HIV knowledge and school-based instruction may play a role in maintaining low levels of drug-injection behavior among high school students.

AN - 72481192; 1659720 AB - The Centers for Disease Control is conducting two investigations of the outcomes of HIV counselling and testing services offered persons at high risk for infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). One investigation is a trial conducted at sexually transmitted disease clinics where an enhanced version of HIV counseling and testing is compared with a standard version. The other investigation is a longitudinal study of the effects of HIV counseling and testing in drug treatment programs that use methadone therapy. In the evaluation, comparisons are being made of different ways of offering HIV counseling and testing and of the effectiveness of the program among persons who know their HIV serostatus and those who do not. The outcome variables include self-reported sexual and drug-using behaviors, together with corroborating laboratory tests, drug treatment compliance, mental health effects, and services utilization. Methodological, practical, and sociopolitical challenges were encountered in the evaluations. Possible solutions to the problems are described. The authors conclude that the designs of the evaluations were appropriate, but that considerable resources are required to carry them out. In settings with low levels of resources, thorough evaluation of the process and an assessment of the immediate outcomes may be the most appropriate evaluation strategy. As HIV counseling and testing are of fundamental importance to national and international HIV prevention efforts, their evaluation is a critical issue.

AN - 72101535; 1910069 AB - The extent of infection among 722 residents of an enzootic focus of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus in rural northern Senegal and putative modes of transmission were studied by a cross-sectional seroprevalence survey done from February through May 1989. Anti-CCHF virus IgG was found in 13.1% of 283 persons who completed a standard questionnaire and provided blood samples. Seropositivity rates were similar between sexes and increased significantly with age among nomadic persons. Behavior patterns providing exposure to multifactorial risk factors were gender-based. Male risk factors, primarily associated with herding activities, included sleeping outside during seasonal migrations (also a risk factor for nomadic women), bite by a tick (adult male Hyalomma truncatum), tick bite during the cool dry season, and contact with sick animals. Human infection of CCHF occurred more frequently or with less mortality in the region studied than has been found elsewhere in Africa; however, the rate of seroconversion-associated illness is undetermined. Hyalomma ticks appear to be the primary transmission mode.

Each hospital provides inpatient treatment to approximately 1000 forensic psychiatric patients. As part of their rehabilitation programs, selected patients perform cleaning duties under the supervision of janitors or nursing staff. Each incident occurred during the performance of these duties and involved the mixture of bleach (sodium hypochlorite) and a phosphoric acid cleaner by inpatients.

AN - 80656441; 2062300 AB - In many urban areas in the United States, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) seroprevalence rates for injecting drug users (IDUs) range from 10% to 65% (1). To examine whether the mass media could contribute to IDU-targeted HIV-infection prevention measures, CDC collaborated with investigators at Johns Hopkins University in studying 1) media use by and sources of HIV information for IDUs, 2) the airing of public service announcements (PSAs) that address acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and 3) the acceptability by broadcast media executives of various PSA prevention messages related to HIV and AIDS. This report summarizes findings of these studies. JF - MMWR.

Ninety-seven percent of cases reported were among men, 79% of whom reported being homosexual/bisexual (i.e., having had sex with other men); no cases were reported among children. In contrast, in 1990, more than 43,000 cases were reported, representing all states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories; nearly two-thirds were reported from outside New York and California; more than 11% of adolescent and adult cases were in women; and nearly 800 cases were in children less than 13 years of age. These differences between 1981 and 1990 highlight the dramatic growth and increasing complexity of the AIDS epidemic.

However, other potential health effects that may result from exposure to these pollutants include nonmalignant respiratory disease, hematopoietic abnormalities, neurotoxicity, renal toxicity, developmental toxicity, and reproductive toxicity. To address these concerns, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted a national study to assess the noncancer risks of toxic air pollutants (EPA, unpublished data).

All three hospitals are large, medical-school-affiliated, training institutions. Hospital A (Georgia) reported 15 episodes from January 1987 through September 1989; hospital B (North Carolina), eight episodes from January through October 1990; and hospital C (Illinois), three episodes from January through September 1990. All of the episodes were detected during routine blood gas analyses that included COHb measurements (co-oximetry). In eight episodes, peak COHb levels were greater than 20%. Usually, when an elevated COHb level was detected intraoperatively, 100% oxygen was administered, an alternate gas source was instituted, and COHb levels returned to normal. No deaths or serious complications were reported. JF - MMWR.

Although 67% of AIDS cases in Italy occurred among intravenous (IV)-drug users, the role of transmission through heterosexual contact with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons has increased, accounting for 7% of cases in 1990, compared with 2% in 1985. As part of an AIDS epidemiology course in Frascati for regional AIDS epidemiologists (approximately 20 km [13 miles] south of Rome) in November 1990, course participants surveyed AIDS-related knowledge and behaviors among students attending the five high schools in the local school district. This report summarizes findings of the survey, which aimed to characterize AIDS-related knowledge and behaviors of this population. JF - MMWR.

AN - 80458466; 1705309 AB - In 1988, 83 automotive repair workers with blood lead levels (BLLs) greater than 25 micrograms/dL were reported to state health departments in the seven states that collaborated with CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in maintaining registries of elevated BLLs in adults. In 18 (22%) of these 83 persons, BLLs were greater than 50 micrograms/dL. Among automotive repair workers for whom a job category was specified, radiator repair work was the principal source of lead exposure. The major sources of exposure for radiator repair workers are lead fumes generated during soldering and lead dust produced during radiator cleaning.

AN - 80455338; 1900098 AB - In November 1989, a man with a history of intravenous (IV)-drug use first presented to the tuberculosis (TB) clinic of the Muskegon County (Michigan) Health Department (MCHD). The patient indicated that he had been treated for pulmonary TB in another city, and he produced for clinic staff his labeled medications, which included isoniazid (INH), rifampin (RIF), and ethambutol (EMB). The patient also stated that he was an IV-drug user (IVDU) and previously had tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Sputum specimens for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) were obtained, and the patient was maintained on his anti-TB medications. His HIV-antibody status was confirmed. JF - MMWR.

AN - 80425466; 1899127 AB - Use of crack cocaine and exchange of drugs for sex have been identified as substantial contributors to the syphilis epidemic in Philadelphia and other locations in the United States. In Philadelphia, from 1985 through 1989, the number of reported cases of early syphilis (primary, secondary, and early latent stages) increased 551%, from 696 to 4528 cases per year. Among 2473 persons with early syphilis interviewed by the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) from January through July 1990, 48% reported they or a sex partner used crack cocaine, and 31% reported exchanging drugs or money for sex (not all of those interviewed answered both questions). Traditional approaches to the control of syphilis that emphasize partner notification have not been effective in halting this epidemic. The partner notification approach requires public health workers to identify sex partners of a person with a sexually transmissible disease (e.g., syphilis) and then to contact these sex partners to provide examination and curative or preventive treatment. However, because persons who are involved in the exchange of drugs and/or money for sex often cannot or will not provide sufficient information about sex partners to enable public health authorities to locate those partners (2,4,5), alternative case-finding methods are needed. This report describes efforts by the PDPH to identify persons infected with Treponema pallidum by using serologic screening at locations where crack cocaine is used. JF - MMWR.

AN - 80367013; 1898757 AB - From 1981 through 1990, 100,777 deaths among persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) were reported to CDC by local, state, and territorial health departments; almost one third (31,196) of these deaths were reported during 1990. During the 1980s, AIDS emerged as a leading cause of death among young adults in the United States. By 1988, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection/AIDS had become the third leading cause of death among men 25-44 years of age and, by 1989, was estimated to be second, surpassing heart disease, cancer, suicide, and homicide (Figure 1). In 1988, HIV infection/AIDS ranked eighth among causes of death among women 25-44 years of age (Figure 2); in 1991, based on current trends, HIV infection/AIDS is likely to rank among the five leading causes of death in this population (1).

Personal breathing-zone air concentrations of mercury ranged from 25.6 to 270.6 mu g/m super(3) for thermometer workers. Urinary mercury levels in the study population ranged from 1.3 to 344.5 mu g/g creatinine, with eight (10%) participants exceeding 150 mu g/g creatinine and three workers exceeding 300 mu g/g creatinine, which indicates increased absorption of mercury among the thermometer workers. All urine mercury levels in the comparison group were compatible with normal background levels in unexposed adults (<10 mu g/g creatinine). Thermometer plant workers reported more symptoms than did controls; in general, these differences were not statistically significant and could not be specifically associated with mercury exposure. Static tremor, abnormal Romberg test, dysdiadochokinesia, and difficulty with heel-to-toe gait were more prevalent among thermometer workers than control workers, which could not be associated with recent mercury exposure; there was some suggestion of an association with chronic exposure.

From April to November 1989, four patients from one plastic surgeon's practice developed Serratia marcescens surgical wound infection (SWI) following breast reconstruction procedures with implantation of six expandable mammary implants. All six implants were removed for unabated S. marcescens SWI. Symptoms developed 13-161 days (median, 66 days) after surgery. When compared with nonexpandable silicone breast implants used during the period November 1, 1988, to October 31, 1989, expandable implants were associated with a greater risk of S. marcescens SWI. We hypothesize that multiple use of saline bags and nonsterile expansion technique extrinsically contaminated saline solutions and resulted in implant and/or surgical site infection. This investigation underscores the importance of avoiding multiple use of solutions intended for single use and of using aseptic technique when manipulating prosthetic devices.

Seventy-seven (62%) were caused by bacterial pathogens, 11 (9%) were caused by fungi, 10 (8%) were caused by viruses, five (4%) were caused by mycobacteria, and 22 (18%) were caused by toxins or other organisms. The majority of fungi and mycobacterial outbreaks occurred since July 1985. Fourteen (11%) outbreaks were device related, 16 (13%) were procedure related, and 28 (22%) were product related. The proportion of outbreaks involving products, procedures, or devices increased from 47% during 1980-1985 to 67% between 1986 and July 1990. Recent outbreaks have shown that packed red blood cell transfusion-associated Yersinia enterocolitica sepsis results from contamination of the blood by the asymptomatic donor; that povidone-iodine solutions can become intrinsically contaminated and cause outbreaks of infection and/or pseudoinfection; and that rapidly growing mycobacteria can cause chronic otitis media, surgical wound infection, and hemodialysis-associated infections.

From October 1986 to December 1990, 79 hospitals reported 2,334 hospital-months of data from 196 hospital units. The median overall infection rate was 9.2 infections per 100 patients. However, this infection rate had a strong positive correlation with average length of ICU stay. When patient-days was used in the denominator, the median overall nosocomial infection rate was 23.7 infections per 1,000 patient-days. Although there was a marked reduction in the correlation with average length of stay, this rate had a strong positive correlation with device utilization.

Over the period 1980-1989, significant increases were observed within each hospital stratum, in the overall BSI rate and the BSI rate due to each of the following pathogen groups: coagulase-negative staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus, enterococci, and Candida species. In contrast, the BSI rate due to gram-negative bacilli remained stable over the decade, in all strata. Except for small nonteaching hospitals, the greatest increase in BSI rates was observed in coagulase-negative staphylococci (the percentage increase ranged between 424% and 754%), followed by Candida species (219-487%). In small nonteaching hospitals, the greatest increase was for S. aureus (283%), followed by enterococci (169%) and coagulase-negative staphylococci (161%). Our analysis documents the emergence over the last decade of coagulase-negative staphylococci as one of the most frequently occurring pathogens in BSI.

Overall rates of NI were calculated as the number of NI per 100 patients (overall NI patient rates) or the number of NI per 1,000 NICU patient-days (overall NI patient-day rates). A strong positive association was found between overall NI patient rates and the neonates' average length of stay, a marker for duration of exposure to important risk factors. No correlation was found between overall NI patient-day rates and average length of stay. However, a strong positive correlation between overall NI patient-day rates and a measure of device utilization (total device-days/total patient-days x 100) was found. Additionally, a positive correlation between overall NI patient rates and device utilization was found.

From January 1987 through December 1990, 44 National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System hospitals reported data collected under the tailed option of the surgical patient surveillance component protocol, which includes definitions of eligible patients, operations, and nosocomial infections. Pooled mean SWI rates (number of infections per 100 operations) within each of the categories of the traditional wound classification system were 2.1, 3.3, 6.4, and 7.1, respectively.

Overall, 54% of the infections occurred in elderly patients ( greater than or equal to 65 years). In the elderly, 44% of the infections were urinary tract infections (UTIs), 18% were pneumonias, 11% were surgical wound infections (SWIs), 8% were bloodstream infections (BSIs), and the remainder were infections at other sites. When we compared the infections in elderly patients with those in younger adult patients, ages 15 to 64 years, a far greater percentage of the infections in elderly patients were UTIs, and there were more pneumonias than SWIs.

AN - 16672232; 3033149 AB - In January, 1991, epidemic cholera emerged in Peru and spread to 7 other countries of Latin America. Cholera was introduced 20 years ago to Africa, where it spread rapidly to 30 of the 46 countries of the region and by 1990 accounted for 90% of all cases reported to the World Health Organisation. Many lessons from the cholera epidemic in Africa are relevant to efforts to control the disease in Latin America. Public health practices from the past-quarantine and cordon sanitaire to halt introduction of cholera by travellers, and vaccination and mass chemoprohylaxis to control epidemics-are ineffective in preventing spread of the disease. Cholera can be transmitted not only by contaminated water but also by food. Social phenomena such as mass migrations and burial practices may play a greater role than previously understood. While efforts to prevent the spread of cholera have been ineffective, cholera-associated mortality can be decreased with rehydration therapy. Since the current pandemic is unlikely to retreat soon, new strategies are urgently needed to control the spread of cholera through sanitary and behavioural interventions or improved vaccines.

AN - 16623880; 3007757 AB - We used population-based surveillance in New Jersey in 1986 to quantify the risk of invasive pneumococcal disease in persons with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and in those who went on to develop AIDS. Using pneumococcal surveillance, we also devised a method to estimate the size of the immunosuppressed population infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the so-called pre-AIDS population. From rates of pneumococcal disease that occurred in areas with a low incidence of AIDS, we calculated the number of patients expected to contract pneumococcal disease in areas with a high incidence of AIDS. There were 59 more cases of pneumococcal disease observed than expected; 14 of these patients had AIDS by the time of pneumococcal infection. We attributed the remaining 45 cases to the increased risk of pneumococcal infection in pre-AIDS. The pre-AIDS pneumococcal cases and the attack rate of pneumococcal disease in pre-AIDS were used to estimate the size of the 1986 pre-AIDS New Jersey population as 8823 pre-AIDS cases (95% confidence interval, 7377 to 10714) or 0.37% of the adult New Jersey population. Surveillance for marker diseases may provide a simple, independent method of estimating the pre-AIDS population.

AN - 16518812; 2960598 AB - Operating room personnel are at risk for infection with blood-borne pathogens through blood contact. To describe the nature and frequency of blood contact and its risk factors, trained observers monitored a sample of operations performed by six surgical services at Grady Memorial Hospital, Atlanta, GA for 6 months. Of 110 blood contacts among surgeons, 81 (74%) were potentially preventable by additional barrier precautions, such as face shields and fluid-resistant gowns. Twenty-one (84%) of 25 blood contacts among surgeons in procedures in which all three risk factors were present were potentially preventable by additional barriers. Of 29 blood contacts among anesthesia and circulating personnel, 20 (69%) would have been prevented by glove use. For surgical procedures in which operating room personnel are at increased risk of blood contact, reevaluation of surgical technique, use of appropriate barrier precautions, and development of puncture-resistant glove materials are indicated.

AN - 16349968; 2846901 AB - Shigella sonnei is the most frequent cause of shigellosis in the United States. Epidemiologic studies of this organism have been hampered by the lack of adequate typing procedures. Ribosomal DNA analysis (ribotyping), a method which analyzes restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the chromosomal genes that encode rRNA, has recently been shown to be useful for microbial species identification and subtyping. To determine whether ribotyping could be used to distinguish between S. sonnei isolates, we conducted Southern hybridization studies on isolates from 16 different geographic locations and from four recent outbreaks. S. sonnei genomic DNA fragments generated following digestion with SalI hybridized with Escherichia coli 16S and 23S rRNAs to produce six distinct patterns; strains with patterns 1, 2, and 3 were each further subdivided into two additional patterns by using PvuII, SmaI, and SstI, respectively. Epidemiologically related strains had identical patterns. Ribotyping appears to be a useful tool for epidemiologic studies of shigellosis caused by S. sonnei .

AN - 16331187; 2841109 AB - Active surveillance for invasive meningococcal disease was conducted during 1986 and 1987 in six areas of the United States with a total population of similar to 34 million persons. The incidence of meningococcal disease was 1.3:10 super(5). The highest incidence of disease among the surveillance areas was in Los Angeles County (1.65:10 super(5)). Neisseria meningitidis) serogroups B and C caused about equal amounts of disease, which reflects a recent increase in the incidence of group C disease. Group C caused more than half of the cases of meningococcal disease in Los Angeles and Tennessee but less than one-third of the cases in Missouri and Oklahoma. Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis demonstrated that a group of closely related isolates of N. meningitidis was prevalent in Los Angeles during the surveillance period and was associated with an increased incidence of meningococcal disease there.

The spread of syphilis has been linked to the rising incidence of drug use, especially of crack cocaine. Observations in patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus have raised questions about the adequacy of penicillin and prompted a reevaluation of syphilis therapy. Efforts to control the epidemic have brought needed attention to improving health care delivery to persons at risk for syphilis.

AN - 16222109; 2751772 AB - Whole-cell chromosomal digests of 84 strains of aerotolerant Campylobacter (AC) were examined by using PvuII restriction fragment length polymorphisms of rRNA genes followed by hybridization with Escherichia coli 16S and 23S rRNA (ribotyping). The AC strains belonged to Campylobacter cryaerophila (n = 13) and a newly defined species, "C. butzleri " (n = 64). All 35 sporadic human and animal isolates of "C. butzleri " sent to the Centers for Disease Control for identification showed different ribotype patterns. However, most "C. butzleri " strains contained common bands at similar to 3.0, 6.2, 12.0, and 15.0 kb; the 3.0-kb band was present in all but four strains. All C. cryaerophila strains demonstrated a common ribosomal DNA restriction fragment of 3.2 kb; DNA group 1B strains contained an additional common band at 2.6 kb. Ribotyping patterns of AC species were easily distinguished from patterns of other Campylobacter, Helicobacter , and Wolinella species.

AN - 16217231; 2752810 AB - Monoclonal antibodies to the major outer membrane protein of Chlamydia trachomatis were used to neutralize C. trachomatis infectivity in HeLa 229 cells and to determine the kinetics and stoichiometry of the reaction. In vitro neutralization of C. trachomatis infectivity proceeded as a first-order reaction and required an activation energy of approximately 20 kcal/mol (ca. 84 kJ/mol). The rate of neutralization was linear with respect to antibody concentration and reaction temperature. The efficiency of neutralization decreased exponentially as the ratio of noninfective to infective chlamydiae increased in the antigen preparation. The neutralization assay was also significantly affected by reaction parameters such as the reaction volume and the duration of incubation. Stoichiometric calculations showed that an average ratio of 10 super(3) and 10 super(4) immunoglobulin molecules per chlamydial particle was required to yield 50% neutralization by monoclonal antibodies specifying serovar-specific and species-specific epitopes, respectively.

The vector tick transmitting Borrelia burgdorferi in Australia, however, has not been determined. The Australian paralysis tick, Ixodes holocyclus , is a logical candidate vector of the Lyme disease spirochete in Australia; therefore, we tested the ability of I. holocyclus to acquire and maintain a North American isolate of B. burgdorferi . Larval I. holocyclus ingested spirochetes, but none of 84 derived nymphs were infected. These experiments should be repeated with Australian strains of spirochetes.

AN - 16036438; 2607274 AB - Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) glycoprotein G (gG-1 and gG-2) were expressed in insect cells from recombinant baculoviruses (AcDSMgG-1 and AcDSMgG-2, respectively) constructed using a novel baculovirus transfer vector, pAcDSM. This vector allows the coding region of a foreign gene to be precisely linked to the baculovirus polyhedrin gene at the translation initiation site and retains the native polyhedrin translation initiation environment. Fourfold more gG-1, with a higher ratio of glycosylated to unglycosylated product, was produced by AcDSMgG-1 than by Ac373'gG-1, a recombinant baculovirus which differs from AcDSMgG-1 by the presence of 21 extraneous nucleotides in the 5' nontranslated sequence. gG-1 and gG-2 expressed in recombinant baculovirus-infected insect cells undergo cotranslational N-linked glycosylation, but the overall processing of the proteins differs from that observed in HSV-1- or HSV-2-infected cells. Despite these differences, baculovirus-expressed gG-1 and gG-2 were recognized in a HSV type-specific manner by human serum specimens.

B. bacilliformis DNA showed no relatedness to the cat scratch disease bacillus or to a strain of a second species in the same genus as the cat scratch disease bacillus in hybridization reactions done at 65 degree C. The guanine-plus-cytosine contents of DNAs from the two B. bacilliformis strains were 39 and 40 mol%. Time course reassociation indicated that B. bacilliformis has a genome size of approximately 4 x 10 super(8). The 16S rRNA sequence analysis indicated that B. bacilliformis) is in the alpha -2 subgroup of the purple bacteria, class Proteobacteria, and that its closest relatives are Rochalimaea quintana and Brucella abortus . Strain KC583 (= Herrer 020/F12,63 = ATCC 35685) is proposed as the type strain of B. bacilliformis .

AN - 15983887; 2555458 AB - This report describes an exploratory population-based study of maternal and perinatal risk factors for childhood leukemia in Sweden. The Swedish National Cancer Registry ascertained 411 cases in successive birth cohorts from 1973 through 1984 recorded in the Swedish Medical Birth Registry. Using the latter, we matched five controls without cancer to each case by sex and month and year of birth. Mothers of children with leukemia were more likely to have been exposed to nitrous oxide anesthesia during delivery than mothers of controls (odds ratio (OR) = 1.3; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.0, 1.6). Children with leukemia were more likely than controls to have Down's syndrome or cleft lip or cleft palate; to have had a diagnosis associated with difficult labor but unspecified complications or with other conditions of the fetus or newborn, specifically, uncomplicated physiological jaundice; or to have received supplemental oxygen.

Although E. canis has been serially propagated in primary canine monocytes, only a limited quantity of antigen is obtained by this method. A continuous canine macrophage cell line, DH82, supports the growth of a new isolate of E. canis established from the whole blood of a carrier dog in Oklahoma. Serologic comparison of the Oklahoma isolate in the continuous canine cell line with a Florida isolate in commercial antigen slides revealed 100% specificity and 87.5% sensitivity.

AN - 15971105; 2544534 AB - In 1985 the vernacular name Enteric Group 90 was coined for a small group of strains that had been referred to our laboratory as probable strains of Salmonella but did not agglutinate in Salmonella typing antisera. By DNA-DNA hybridization (hydroxyapatite method, super(32)P), seven strains of Enteric Group 90 were found to be closely related (98 to 100% at 60 degree C and 94 to 100% at 75 degree C) to the first strain received (0370-85). The relatedness of Enteric Group 90 to 62 strains of other species of the family Enterobacteriaceae was only 6 to 41%, with the highest values obtained with strains of Salmonella, Kluyvera, Shigella, Klebsiella, Enterobacter , and Citrobacter . We propose a new genus, Trabulsiella, with a single new species, Trabulsiella guamensis , for the highly related group of eight strains formerly known as Enteric Group 90.

AN - 15945023; 2523049 AB - A study was conducted in the community of Greater New Bedford, Massachusetts, from 1984 through 1987 to assess the prevalence of elevated levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the serum of individuals aged 18 to 64 years who had resided in the area for at least 5 years. Eight hundred and forty subjects were interviewed, examined, and tested in a cross-sectional sample of the towns of Acushnet, Dartmouth, and Fairhaven and the city of New Bedford. Serum PCBs were measured to estimate the extent of human exposure. Because of documented environmental contamination by PCBs in the New Bedford area, and the practice of recreational fishing in the harbor for food, a significant number of persons with elevated serum PCB levels were expected to be identified. Instead, the prevalence of elevated serum PCBs in the sample was found to be typical of "unexposed" urban populations in the United States.

AN - 15844192; 2429583 AB - An agglutination assay was used to examine the binding of purified human S protein (vitronectin, serum spreading factor) to 201 clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae . Strains belonging to the protein IA serovars were significantly more reactive in agglutination tests with human S protein and were more serum resistant than strains belonging to the protein IB serovars. The strains from patients with disseminated infections belonged predominantly to the IA serovar (19 of 23) and, with the exception of IA-4 and certain IB serovars, avidly agglutinated with S protein. The serovar IA-4 and IB strains isolated from joint or cerebrospinal fluid failed to agglutinate with S protein and appeared to be less serum resistant than most other IA isolates. Two serum-resistant transformants exhibited a moderate increase in agglutination of S protein and a more than twofold increase in resistance to killing by fresh human serum following preincubation with S protein; the serum-sensitive parent strain did not agglutinate S protein, and serum resistance was not increased following preincubation with this protein.

AN - 15839825; 2429611 AB - Toxigenic strains of Clostridium difficile are causative agents of pseudomembranous colitis and antimicrobial agent-associated diarrhea and colitis. The toxigenicity is routinely assayed by using highly sensitive cell cultures. We used a simple and rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to differentiate toxigenic and nontoxigenic strains of C. difficile . Two sets of oligonucleotide primer pairs derived from nonrepeating sequences of the toxin A gene were used to amplify 546- and 252-bp DNA fragments. Southern hybridization of HindIII-digested genomic DNA by use of subgenomic probes showed a single hybridization band in toxigenic strains but not in nontoxigenic strains. PCR appears to be a sensitive and specific assay for the rapid identification of toxigenic C. difficile . Nontoxigenic C. difficile appeared to lack the C. difficile toxin A gene.

AN - 15824819; 2430477 AB - During 1988 the number of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 infections reported in the United States increased fivefold. To determine if recent isolates from Mexico were related to those that caused epidemics of dysentery worldwide, Southern hybridization analysis was done with Shiga toxin and ribosomal RNA gene probes. Western hemisphere and Eastern Hemisphere strains differed by the size of a single EcoRI fragment carrying the Shiga toxin genes. Three ribosomal DNA (rDNA) patterns were observed, which correlated with the strain's continental origin for 81 of 83 isolates tested. Together the Shiga toxin and rDNA probe results indicated that recent Mexican isolates were chromosomally similar to earlier Central American isolates and distinct from Asian and African strains.

AN - 15818686; 2431297 AB - Seventy-eight aerotolerant Campylobacter isolates were characterized phenotypically and by DNA hybridization (hydroxyapatite method at 50 and 65 degree C). Two DNA relatedness groups were found. (i) Sixty-four strains belonged to aerotolerant Campylobacter DNA hybridization group 2. These organisms were isolated from humans, primarily with diarrheal illness, and animals on several continents. Strains were aerotolerant at 30 and 36 degree C and catalase negative or weakly catalase positive, grew in media containing glycine and on MacConkey agar, were susceptible to nalidixic acid, and were resistant to cephalothin. The name Campylobacter butzleri sp. nov. is proposed for this group. (ii) DNA hybridization group 1 consisted of the type strain of Campylobacter cryaerophila and 13 additional strains isolated from 10 animals outside the United States and from three humans within the United States.

AN - 79793716; 2160783 AB - A cluster of four cases of symptomatic B virus infection in humans occurred in Pensacola, Florida, in March 1987. Three cases occurred in persons who worked with monkeys at a research facility, and the fourth resulted from apparent autoinoculation through use of a nonprescription skin cream. Contact tracing identified 159 persons who may have been exposed to B virus (21 had been exposed to monkeys at the facility and 138 had been exposed to one or more of the case-patients), but no further cases were identified. Comparisons of restriction endonuclease patterns from B virus isolates linked two of the three cases in monkey handlers to one clinically ill monkey and the other to a second, healthy monkey. Three risk factors for human infection were identified: nonuse of mechanical or chemical restraints for monkeys before handling, nonuse of available protective gear, and direct viral inoculation through the application of a topical medication.

Several large refugee populations live in regions of high meningococcal disease endemicity and their camps are at risk for outbreaks of meningococcal meningitis. Surveillance in these camps allows early detection and control of impending outbreaks. Confirmation of meningococcal disease can be performed under field conditions using simple techniques, such as latex agglutination. Isolates should be obtained for serogroup confirmation and antibiotic sensitivity studies at reference laboratories. Serogroup information is used to determine the risk of widespread epidemic disease and the utility of available vaccines. During epidemics, treatment regimens should be standardized, preferably with an effective single-dose antibiotic. Mass vaccination campaigns should be initiated, the populations at high risk being targeted for vaccination as quickly as possible. When the risk of epidemic disease is deemed to be high, preemptive vaccination may be warranted. Daily surveillance using a simple case definition is essential during an epidemic to determine the effectiveness of control measures and to delineate high-risk groups for vaccination or chemoprophylaxis. Many of these recommendations can be applied also to other populations in developing countries.

AN - 16266873; 2793875 AB - We examined the association between personal characteristics and concentrations of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in blood serum of 640 male U.S. Army Vietnam veterans. TCDD concentrations ranged from 1.1 to 16.2 pg/g wet weight (ppt) with a geometric mean of 3.8 ppt consistent with no past heavy exposure to TCDD. TCDD concentrations increased with body mass index on the order of 0.3 ppt per 10 kg of body weight for veterans of the same height. Concentrations were about 50% greater for black veterans aged 45 compared to black veterans aged 37. We found no association between age and TCDD concentration in non-blacks. Veterans living in the western U.S. had slightly lower concentrations than those living elsewhere. TCDD concentrations tended to be slightly greater in veterans who reported spraying of mixing herbicides while employed in farming or ranching and in those who reported employment at incinerators.

AN - 16251032; 2772727 AB - A method is presented that can be used to determine the residue level of certain chlorinated pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (as Aroclor 1260) in serum. The method involves the following: (1) extraction of denatured serum with organic solvents; (2) elution of the organic extract through micro-Florisil) columns to obtain two fractions; (3) acid treatment of the less polar Florisil fraction and its subsequent elution through deactivated silica gel to obtain two fractions; and (4) analysis of all three fractions using gas-liquid chromatography with electron capture detection. The method produced in vitro recoveries for 10 pesticides spiked in the range of 1-10.7 ppb of 50.4% to 121.6%, and in the range of 4.98-21 ppb, recoveries ranged from 47.7 to 112.6. In vivo "recoveries" of Aroclor 1260 averaged 104.8% and 92.3% for concentration levels of similar to 10 and similar to 30 ppb, respectively.

AN - 16077654; 2645525 AB - We present the salient characteristics of tuning procedures that have evolved from our 3 years of experience while producing large amounts of data of the highest quality. Our laboratory routinely analyzes 2,3,7,8-substituted dioxins and furans at parts per quadrillion levels in 50-100 g of human serum samples using the VG 70S/SE stand-alone gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) system at 10,000 resolution (defined by 5% overlap) in the selected ion recording mode. Trace measurement of dioxins and furans in human biological matrices-for example, whole blood, serum, or adipose tissue-requires reproducible instrument tuning within day as well as among days for quality results. Additionally, instrument-tuning procedures among operators must be reproducible to minimize operator bias because periodically different operators are used. Instrument tuning is highly subjective and argumentive; therefore, to minimize the ambiguity within our laboratory, we have standardized our technique to reproducibly tune the GC/MS system.

This evidence indicates that this species may serve as an arbovirus vector in the United States. The urban-suburban distribution, aggressive biting behavior, and broad viral susceptibility of Ae. albopictus may lead to the transmission of viruses of known public health importance and perhaps of viruses hitherto not transmitted to humans because of the feeding pattern of their usual vectors.

AN - 15877598; 2467036 AB - We conducted serologic and biochemical studies on strains of three provisional Shigella serotypes. Included were 19 strains of serotype 3873-50 from three countries (1 from Mexico, 1 from Netherlands Antilles, and 17 from the United States), 13 strains of serotype 3341-55 from three countries (1 from Canada, 1 from Bulgaria, and 11 from the United States), and 19 strains of serotype I9809-73 from two countries (16 from Israel and 3 from the United States). Reactions of these strains with homologous and heterologous Shigella antisera showed that serotypes 3873-50 and I9809-73 were unique. Strains of serotype 3341-55 shared an identical antigen with Shigella boydii 18; however, they were distinguished from S. boydii 18 biochemically and with absorbed sera. Strains of the three serotypes were biochemically most similar to Shigella dysenteriae . Like other shigellae, strains from each serotype were invasive in the Sereny assay.

AN - 15877283; 2466987 AB - Reference strains and clinical isolates representing the newly defined species Staphylococcus lugdunensis and Staphylococcus schleiferi were examined with the battery of tests previously recommended for other species of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). The Staph-Ident system (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.) supplemented with tests for synergistic hemolysis, adherence to glass, pyroglutamyl- beta -naphthylamide hydrolysis, and susceptibility to a set of five antimicrobial disks differentiated each of these species from other species of CNS and separated strains within each species into several biotypes. Most strains (95%) of S. lugdunensis produced a delta hemolysin like that seen with nine other species of CNS. Most strains (91%) of S. schleiferi produced a beta hemolysin, which is a unique characteristic among CNS. Most (95%) of the S. schleiferi but very few (12%) of the S. lugdunensis were adherence positive. JF - Journal of Clinical Microbiology AU - Hebert, G A AD - Antimicrob. Invest. Branch, Hosp. Infect.

AN - 15865645; 2456557 AB - A total of 410 well-defined Campylobacter, Helicobacter , and Wolinella strains, comprising 26 named species, subspecies, and defined groups, were tested for indoxyl acetate hydrolysis by a disk method by using disks prepared at the Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, Ga. All C. coli (43 strains), C. cryaerophila (34 strains), C. fennelliae (5 strains), C. fennelliae-Campylobacter -like organism 3 (2 strains), C. jejuni (66 strains), C. jejuni subsp. doylei (3 strains), hippurate-negative C. jejuni-C. coli (15 strains), "C. upsaliensis " (39 strains), H. mustelae (5 strains), W. curva (1 strain), and W. recta (1 strain) hydrolyzed indoxyl acetate. Four strains gave weak positive reactions, and the remaining 196 strains, which belonged to 15 species, subspecies, and defined groups, gave negative reactions. Of the 410 study strains, 246 and 125 strains were tested for indoxyl acetate hydrolysis by a disk method and a tube method, respectively, by using commercially produced disks. The disk method, regardless of source, required less time and interpretation than the tube method did.

AN - 15860110; 2448492 AB - Monoclonal anti-idiotypes were generated against monoclonal antibody (mAb) Hb-2 which recognized a highly conserved epitope on the outer membrane porin protein from Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Four hybridomas reacting with F(ab')2 fragments of Hb-2 were selected and characterized. Inhibition studies using syngeneic anti-anti-idiotypic antisera suggested that at least three different antigenic determinants on Hb-2 were recognized by these monoclonal anti-idiotypes. The binding of each anti-idiotype to Hb-2 was inhibited by Hb-2 whereas the reaction was not affected by any other anti-Hib mAb. Complete inhibition of the binding of anti-idiotype to the idiotype could be achieved with 10 mu g of total outer membrane protein (OMP) from Hib suggesting that the anti-idiotypes might be directed against paratope-associated idiotypes. This study indicates that these particular monoclonal anti-idiotypes may be used as an antigen substitute for the porin of Hib in a xenogeneic species.

AN - 15852112; 2454591 AB - From 1963 to 1986, the number of reported cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in the United States declined an average of 5.0% annually, and the number of cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis declined an average of 0.9% annually over the same period. In 1986, 17.5% of all cases of tuberculosis were extrapulmonary. Of pulmonary cases, 63.0% occurred among racial ethnic minorities and the foreign-born, whereas of extrapulmonary cases, the respective proportion was 71.2%. After adjustment for other variables, the proportion of extrapulmonary tuberculosis among all patients with tuberculosis by age was found to be largest in children and generally to decrease with increasing age, larger among black, Asian, and American Indian than among non-Hispanic white patients, larger among female than among male patients, and larger among the foreign-born than among patients born in the United States.

AN - 15832774; 2429418 AB - The difficulty in obtaining mutants in pathogenic Neisseria has limited the ability to genetically define determinants responsible for virulence as well as the ability to generate a genetic map. We show that the 16.5 kb conjugative transposon Tn916 can be introduced into Neisseria meningitidis on the suicide vector pAM120 and pAM170. Following its integration into the meningococcal chromosome, T916 did not appear to readily express its conjugative and transpositional functions. However, chromosomal DNA from Tn916-carrying meningococci could be used to transform other meningococcal strains to tetracycline resistance. These studies indicate that Tn916 may be an important tool for genetic analysis of N. meningitidis .

Results of N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis and reactivity with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies suggested that a similar protein was present in the other pathogenic species of Neisseria, Neisseria meningitidis . Sequence analysis of the Fbp gene has confirmed this homology. We have cloned the Fbp gene of N. meningitidis (strain 80084313, serogroup A) on two genome TaqI fragments in pUC 13 using probes from the N. Gonorrhoeae Fbp gene.

AN - 15795027; 2408283 AB - Over the past 5 years Salmonella enteritidis infections in humans have increased on both sides of the Atlantic ocean. The WHO salmonella surveillance data for 1979-87 were reviewed and show that S. enteritidis appears to be increasing on at least the continents of North America, South America, and Europe, and many include Africa. S. enteritidis isolates increased in 24 (69%) of 35 countries between 1979 and 1987. In 1979, only 2 (10%) of 21 countries with reported data reported S. enteritidis as their most common salmonella serotype; in 1987, 9 (43%) of 21 countries reported S. enteritidis as their most common serotype; 8 (89%) of 9 were European countries. Although the reason for the global increase is not yet clear, investigation in individual countries suggest it is related to consumption of eggs and poultry which harbour the organism.

AN - 15777419; 2385781 AB - At Yale-New Haven Hospital, 46 specimens submitted for mycobacterial culture during an 8-week period in 1989 were positive for Mycobacterium gordonae , a nontuberculous acid-fast bacterium (AFB) of low pathogenicity. The specimens were submitted from 34 patients who came from various inpatient and outpatient services. Four patients were begun on antimycobacterial therapy on the basis of an AFB isolate which was later identified as M. gordonae . Isolation of M. gordonae was associated with use of the BACTEC TB system (BACTEC TB; Becton Dickinson Diagnostic Instrument Systems, Towson, Md) and an antimicrobial solution, BACTEC PANTA PLUS (PANTA; Becton Dickinson Diagnostic Instrument Systems). The manufacturer reported that two lots (B9K1 and C9K1) of PANTA kits containing a single production lot (N8C1) of PANTA, which had been shipped to 173 laboratories, had been contaminated with M. gordonae .

AN - 15774364; 2377863 AB - Full-length cDNA clones of the nucleoprotein (NP) genes of influenza A/Ann Arbor/6/60 and B/Ann Arbor/1/86 viruses were constructed from virion RNA and subsequently expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells using the baculovirus vector, Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus. The results from assays using the baculovirus-expressed NP antigens showed good correlation with the results obtained using bacterially expressed NP antigen as well as complement fixation. Therefore, baculovirus-expressed NP antigens have the potential to be used to develop reproducible and routine assays for the serodiagnosis of influenza virus infections as an alternative to the complement fixation or haemagglutination inhibition tests.

AN - 15770107; 2379050 AB - The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) investigates selected workplace fatalities through the Fatal Accident Circumstances and Epidemiology (FACE) project. This surveillance project is designed to collect descriptive data on selected fatalities using an epidemiologic approach, to identify potential risk factors for work-related death, to develop recommended intervention strategies, to disseminate findings that increase employer and employee hazard awareness and to reduce the risk of fatal injury in the workplace. From December 1983 through December 1989, 55 confined-space events, resulting in 88 deaths, were investigated through the FACE project. In these events only three of the workers who died had received any training in confined space safety. Additionally, only 27% of the employers had any type of written confined space entry procedures.

AN - 15758750; 2377411 AB - A hybridization protection assay (HPA) that uses acridinium ester (AE) labeled oligonucleotide probes which are specific for a conserved gag gene region of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) was developed to measure the amount of HIV-1 nucleic acid. Hybridization of the single-stranded probes with their target HIV-1 sequences protected the chemiluminescent AE group from subsequent alkaline hydrolysis. The chemiluminescence from the residual AE could be easily quantitated in a luminometer. The entire process comprising template dissociation, hybridization, alkaline hydrolysis, and chemiluminescence measurement can be completed in less than one hour and does not require the separation of hybridized probe from unhybridized probe. We demonstrated that HPA could quantitatively measure the amount of DNA amplified by polymerase chain reaction.

AN - 15562661; 2223329 AB - Nine secondary cases of tuberculosis and 59 tuberculin skin test conversions occurred after exposure to a hospitalized patient with a large tuberculous abscess of the hip and thigh. Among 442 tuberculin-negative hospital employees, the relative risk of skin test conversion associated with recalled exposure to the patient was 14.0. Four of 5 surgical suite employees who assisted with incision and debridement of the abscess had skin test conversions, as did 85% of 33 employees on a general medical floor who recalled exposure to the patient and 30% of 20 intensive care unit employees who recalled exposure. A high concentration of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the abscessed tissue, disturbance of the surface of liquid drainage from the abscess by irrigations and by the agitated behavior of the patient, and positive air pressure in the patient's room are factors that appear to have contributed to the high risk of tuberculosis transmission.

AN - 79106441; 2751018 AB - Following an explosion in a machine shop and temporary plant closure, on the day the plant returned to full operations a degreaser malfunctioned. Workers in the assembly room were exposed to trichloroethylene levels later estimated to have exceeded 220 ppm (OSHA PEL 100 ppm). The plant was evacuated and the degreaser taken out of operation. Blood testing for carbon monoxide (CO) on five employees found carboxyhemoglobin levels in excess of normal. The plant reopened the following morning. Over the next two weeks, 15 employees were seen by the plant nurses for similar complaints; although all returned to work, their carboxyhemoglobin levels, later found to be inaccurate, were reported by a local medical clinic to range from 13.7 to 20.0 percent. At the end of the second week, another outbreak of illness occurred, but carboxyhemoglobin, trichloroethylene, fluorocarbons, and methylene chloride were not elevated in all 17 persons tested; plant-wide monitoring for CO found no elevated levels. During the first outbreak of illness, cases were 2.26 times as likely to have entered the assembly room as noncases. During the second outbreak, cases were no more likely than noncases to have entered the assembly room. We believe the explosion, earlier toxic exposures and illness, and the misleading blood test results led to plant-wide anxiety which culminated in a collective stress reaction and the second outbreak. An open meeting with all employees, informing them of our findings, provided reassurance and no further episodes of illness occurred in this workforce.

AN - 79181381; 2769455 AB - Since the controversy over cytogenetic test results at the Love Canal in New York State, there has been increasing concern about the communication of medical test results to participants in field studies. To identify the range of issues that arise and to present examples of practices that might be useful for consideration, we have drawn from 15 years of experience in interpreting and communicating the results of medical field investigations by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The investigations were qualitatively characterized according to study type and design, substances involved, language used in the notification of results, and the nature of the efforts to put results in perspective. Based on this evaluation, the following recommendations are made: (1) provide a comprehensible consent form, (2) interpret results for study participants, (3) use clear language, (4) be explicit about uncertainty of findings, (5) where appropriate, indicate the need for medical follow-up, (6) provide results promptly, (7) provide overall study results, (8) evaluate the impact of the notification, (9) train investigators in the practice of communicating results.

AN - 79033129; 2735469 AB - We studied 977 newly incarcerated Oregon inmates to compare voluntary versus mandatory human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIVAb) testing in the prison setting. All inmates were offered HIVAb counseling and testing. Blood drawn for routine syphilis serology from those who declined this offer was also tested for HIVAb after personal identifiers had been removed. Only 1.2 percent (12) prisoners were HIV positive. However, 62.5 percent (611) inmates were at risk for HIV infection by being an intravenous drug user, a male homosexual, or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positive. The ratio of at-risk, as yet uninfected inmates to those already HIV infected was 53 to 1. Two-thirds of all inmates including those at-risk chose to receive counseling and testing. In areas where most at-risk inmates are not yet infected, it may be more appropriate for HIV prevention activities in prison to focus on voluntary programs that emphasize education and counseling rather than mandatory programs that emphasize testing.

AN - 78986312; 2524643 AB - Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), the most common presenting manifestation of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), is a major and recurring cause of morbidity and mortality for persons infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In recent years, important advances have been made in understanding which patient subpopulations are at highest risk for developing PCP and in the design of chemotherapeutic regimens that can reduce the frequency of this illness.

The risk of human illness due to S. enteritidis in eggs can be reduced by improved time-temperature control in the interval from purchaser to consumer. In summary, S. enteritidis in poultry does not appear to be a problem that is a function of high production, controlled environment husbandry methods, but is an evolving problem throughout the industry, complicated by transovarian transmission.

AN - 15641227; 2290803 AB - On 29 May 1982, a tornado struck Marion, Illinois. As a result, ten people were killed, 38 were hospitalized, and 196 were examined in hospital emergency rooms. In order to describe injuries and to identify risk factors that might have increased or reduced the risk of injuries, we (1) conducted a telephone survey of all persons we could identify who were in the path of the tornado and (2) reviewed the emergency room logs and records and admission files of hospitals that provided initial care. Overall, 19.3% of people who were in the path of the tornado were injured during the impact. Only 39.0% of people examined in emergency rooms were injured as a direct result of the impact. The remainder were injured while rescuing, cleaning up, or just walking in the disaster area. Behaviours that were most protective were being in a house on the lowest floor, staying underground in a basement, protecting one's body with something like a blanket, and staying away from windows. Neither lying down nor opening doors or windows seemed to decrease the risk of being injured. Our results emphasize the need for early warnings and public education about protective behaviours.

The basic tools for this ongoing search are laboratory studies in animals and epidemiologic studies on humans. Properly done, animal experiments and epidemiologic studies provide a basis for identifying associations between various human health risks and environmental factors, from which public health and environmental protection policies are developed to minimize the risks to present and future populations.

AN - 15490986; 2221086 AB - We installed the high sensitivity, EI-only, ion source in each of our high resolution mass spectrometers; VG ZAB-2F, 70/70E, and 70S. The increased sensitivity observed has made it possible for us to analyze chlorinated dioxins and furans in human serum. Detection levels of 20 fg on column, S/N > 3:1, are routine using these sources, and the range of linearity is significantly extended into the lower femtogram levels. Characteristic source operation includes the use of 500 uA trap current and much lower emission current that enables the use of soft ionization energy (28-36 eV) to reduce space charge effects caused by the ionized helium carrier gas and subsequently improve signal-to-noise ratios. The salient characteristics of this source are presented to demonstrate its capabilities by using data generated from ongoing studies quantifying background levels of PCDDs/PCDFs by stable isotope dilution high resolution gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HRGCMS) using selected ion recording (SIR) in less than 50g of human serum.

AN - 15487212; 2221068 AB - We describe the synthesis and analytical characterization of the tetraclorodibenzo-through octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins. We determined the relative response factors for each chlorinated dioxin by both electron impact (EI) and negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry (NCI). An assumption of a 1:1 response factor for a polyclorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) congener within a group with the same number of chlorines is valid in EI but is not a valid assumption in NCI. We have determined the proton nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift and coupling constants for each PCDD.

AN - 15457032; 2194203 AB - Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is the most common cause of invasive bacterial disease in children in the United States. Approximately one in every 200 American children develops invasive Hib disease before 5 years of age, and the case fatality rate is 5-6%. Survivors of Hib meningitis, the most common manifestation of Hib disease, have a 20-30% risk of developing neurologic sequelae, ranging from learning disability and mild hearing loss to profound mental retardation. In this chapter, we will review relevant background information, present the current status of active immunization with the polysaccharide and newer polysaccharide-conjugate vaccines, and discuss the role of passive protection with hyperimmune globulin.

Short DNA insertions of 6-29 base pairs were used to simultaneously change the linear placement and rotational orientation of this curved DNA relative to the -35 region. When these mutant promoters were analyzed in vivo using transcriptional fusions with a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene, changes in the rotational orientation of the curved DNA correlated with changes in promoter function.

The higher proportion of cells with chromosome aberrations in cigarette smokers was attributable to lower red cell folate levels in smokers compared with nonsmokers. There was a positive linear relationship between the average cups of coffee consumed per day and the proportion of cells with aberrations. This association was independent of the effects of smoking and red cell folate level. Smoking history, coffee consumption, and red cell folate level are important considerations for the design and interpretation of fragile site studies in cancer cytogenetics.

To evaluate the evacuation process, we conducted a phone survey and interviewed representatives of 504 households. Ninety-eight percent of all households complied with the order to evacuate. Factors that might have been responsible for the high compliance rate are the proximity of a nuclear power plant; the warning of most persons by officials; the social structure of the community; previous knowledge of evacuation plans by part of the population; the ability of many residents to see the fire; and the time of day. In 30% of interviewed households, at least one member reported mild symptoms that are consistent with an acute exposure. JF - J. HAZARDOUS MATER.

At manufacturers, 38 of 42 air samples for lead exceeded a work-shift time-weighted average concentration of 0.050 mg/m super(3) (range 0.030-5.3 mg/m super(3)), and nine samples exceeded 0.50 mg/m super(3). Only one of seven air samples at repair shops exceeded 0.050 mg/m super(3) (range 0.003-0.066 mg/m super(3)). Repair shop workers, however, had higher blood lead levels than manufacturing workers (65% vs. 28% with blood lead levels above 60 mu g/dl, respectively). Manufacturing workers had a higher prevalence of safe hygienic practices and a recent interval of minimal production had occurred at one of the battery manufacturers.

AN - 15325666; 2083396 AB - The role of glutathione (GSH) and ornithine decarboxylase-antizyme (ODC-AZ) in the regulation of the chloroform-mediated stimulation of rat hepatic ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) was investigated. The authors have previously implicated roles for each while examining the chloroform effect on crude cytosolic enzyme preparations. In this study they examined the effect of pretreatment with diethyl maleate (DEM), a GSH-depleting agent, on the chloroform stimulation of the two forms of the rat hepatic ODC enzyme and the sensitivity of these two forms to inhibition by the ODC-AZ. While the pretreatment with DEM provided a greater amount of the two forms of the ODC enzyme, it also resulted in a differential stimulation of each form when compared to chloroform alone. Additionally, Peak II was 20-25% more sensitive to the same amount of ODC-AZ then Peak I ODC activity.

In summary, the authors found that 2,3,7,8-TCDD is associated almost completely with the lipoproteins in the plasma fraction, its partitioning coefficient between serum and adipose tissue on a lipid basis is approximately one, and when the levels are corrected for lipids, fasting has little effect on the levels of chlorinated hydrocarbons in serum.

AN - 15235615; 2001306 AB - The use of LiF TLD powder appears to be a satisfactory method for determining the basal skin dose from radioactive gold rings or from other beta radiation sources. The equipment needed should be available to most state radiation protection officials so that an accurate measure of skin dose rate can be obtained within a few months of the discovery of a contaminated ring. Ultimately such information would be used to derive a dose-response relationship between skin cancer and total dose. Before the total dose to the skin of an individual can be determined, however, the duration of exposure must also be estimated, which is likely to be the largest source of error.

AN - 15188175; 1966816 AB - The authors examine the effectiveness of seat-belt systems for preventing mortality in automobile crashes. In particular, they examine whether seat-belt effectiveness has been constant over this period and conclude that there has been a trend toward an increased effectiveness of seat-belt systems. The relative odds of death associated with wearing seat belts dropped from 0 multiplied by 80 in 1975 to 0 multiplied by 34 in 1985. This trend results from improvements in both the type and design of seat belts and from additional design changes, such as padded dashboards and collapsible steering columns, that protect occupants at the time of collision.

Pilot exposure assessment studies were conducted at 12 sites where risks of human exposure were thought to be greatest. Serum PCB levels in persons at highest risk of nonoccupationally related exposures (because of their self-reported frequencies and types of activities in contaminated areas) at 10 sites were within background ranges, even though environmental contamination levels as high as 2.5 parts per billion (ppb) in monitoring well water samples and 330 ,000 ppb in soil samples were measured. At the two remaining sites, elevated serum levels were found in these high-risk persons, which require further evaluation by community surveys. These results illustrate that, despite elevated environmental contaminant levels, unless uptake of chemicals above background exposure levels can be demonstrated, adverse health effects cannot be attributed to waste site chemicals. However, health risks due to background exposure levels, as well as in populations with elevated PCB body burdens need further study.

AN - 15293830; 2043682 AB - Data are presented on 694 criminal homicide victims killed in the city of New Orleans during four years; 1979, 1982, 1985, and 1986. The homicide rate for black males was 6.5 times higher than that for white males for the years studied. Over 70% of victims were killed by handguns. When victims were assigned to one of five socioeconomic strata, homicide rates for blacks exceeded those for whites by a factor of at least 2.5 times for each socioeconomic stratum. White victims were more likely than were black victims to be legally intoxicated at the time of death, but black victims were nearly four times more likely to have illicit drugs other than alcohol detected. During the time period investigated, there was a marked decrease in the number of victims with pentazocine and tripelennamine ("Ts and blues") detected and an abrupt increase in the number of victims with detectable phencyclidine and cocaine levels.

AN - 15197076; 1974840 AB - In Los Angeles County, California, 142 cases of human listeriosis were reported from January 1 through August 15, 1985. Ninety-three cases (65.5 percent) occurred in pregnant women or their offspring, and 49 (34.5 percent) in nonpregnant adults. There were 48 deaths: 20 fetuses, 10 neonates, and 18 nonpregnant adults. Of the nonpregnant adults, 98 percent (48 of 49) had a known predisposing conditions. Eighty-seven percent (81 of 93) of the maternal/neonatal cases were Hispanic. Of the Listeria monocytogenes isolates available for study, 82 percent (86 of 105) were serotype 4b, of which 63 of 86 (73 percent) were the same phage type. A case-control study implicated Mexican-style soft cheeese as the vehicle of infection; a second case-control study showed an association with one brand (Brand A) of Mexican-style soft cheese.

Compared with other Georgians, carpet and textile workers had higher proportions of lymphocytic leukemia. The excess mortality from lymphocytic leukemia was even higher when the analysis was limited to workers deemed most likely to work directly in production areas. Further studies are needed to determine if the observed excesses are the result of workplace exposures.

Greater than 95 percent control was obtained in both rural-agricultural and suburban residential settings. Cholecalciferol is an effective rodenticide that can reduce human plague cases in high risk areas if used in an integrated program with health education, environmental management and insecticidal flea control.

In four affected villages, the mean clinical attack rate was 1 multiplied by 5 and 29% of affected persons died. In 66% of cases the illness began more than 48 h after the village outbreak began, when supplies from outside the village were potentially available. Deaths occurred because patients failed to seek care or received only limited rehydration therapy when they did. Case-control studies identified two routes of transmission: drinking water from one well and eating left-over millet gruel. JF - Epidemiology and infection.

AN - 15037630; 1843902 AB - The authors found that Haemophilus ducreyi , the etiologic agent of chancroid, contains two isoprenoid quinone structural types, demethylmenaquinone and menaquinone, with six- and seven-unit unsaturated isoprene side chains, respectively. Eleven strains of H. ducreyi and a control strain of Haemophilus influenzae biogroup aegyptius (Haemophilus aegyptius ) were grown in a liquid medium with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. Quinones were extracted from bacterial membrane preparations and isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography. The chemical structure of both quinone types was determined by using ultraviolet and mass spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The presence of both a demethylmenaquinone and a menaquinone in H. ducreyi represents a major physiological and chemotaxonomic difference between H. ducreyi and other Haemophilus species.

AN - 15012850; 1827683 AB - Brazilian purpuric fever (BPF) is a recently recognized fulminant pediatric disease characterized by fever, with rapid progression to purpura, hypotensive shock, and death. BPF is usually preceded by purulent conjunctivitis that has resolved before the onset of fever. Both the conjunctivitis and BPF are caused by Haemophilus influenzae biogroup aegyptius (formerly called H. aegyptius ). Isolates from 15 BPF cases, mainly from blood or hemorrhagic cerebrospinal fluid, case-associated isolates from 42 persons in towns where BPF cases occurred, and control strains from 32 persons in towns without BPF cases were characterized biochemically, genetically, and epidemiologically. A single clone was responsible for all BPF cases identified in six Brazilian towns from 1984 through 1986. All of 15 (100%) case strains were the same clone as was 1 of 32 (3%) control strains. Isolates of the clone were preferentially intrarelated by DNA hybridization (99% relatedness, hydroxyapatite method at 60 and 75 degree C).

AN - 14964158; 1793358 AB - Workers' compensation claims in Ohio were evaluated as a source of surveillance data for identifying workplaces at high risk of cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) and analyzed for their demographic and industrial characteristics. During a 5-year period (1980 to 1984), 6,849 workers' compensation claims met the case criteria for CTDs. Tenosynovitis due to continuous motion was the most frequently reported condition (58%), and the wrist was the body part most frequently affected (48%). The highest case rate was observed for female workers in the 36 to 45 age group. Incidence rates for individual companies were determined and those with the highest rates for CTDs were identified. The employer-specific rates for CTDs based on workers' compensation claims data can be used as an effective surveillance tool in locating high-risk operations where ergonomic interventions can be implemented to reduce CTD hazards.

Nine dogs in Atlanta, Georgia, served as comparisons. Results indicated that canine serum PCB levels in contaminated areas (median = 3.0 ppb) tend to be greater than those in uncontaminated areas.

AN - 14918880; 1752480 AB - Staphylococci are among the most important aetiological agents of both community- and hospital-acquired infections. Staphylococcus aureus isolates resistant to penicillin because they produce beta -lactamase were isolated soon after the introduction of penicillin as a therapeutic agent. The coagulase-negative staphylococci are also important aetiological agents of nosocomial infections and the incidence of these infections has increased in recent years. These staphylococci are among the most resistant clinical isolates in many hospitals with about half being resistant to the penicillinase-resistant penicillins and most are multi-resistant.

A significant deficit of mortality from nonmalignant respiratory disease (NMRD) was observed for the cohort based on age-, calendar year-, and race-specific rates for U.S. males. A marked deficit of NMRD was seen regardless of presumed dust exposure level, induction-latency period, or duration employed. A statistically significant excess of mortality from lung cancer was observed among whites, but a deficit occurred among nonwhites.

AN - 14895727; 1734904 AB - Strategies for the prevention of leading occupational health have been proposed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). NIOSH prepared these strategies following publication in 1983 of its suggested list of ten leading work-related diseases and injuries. At a national symposium in 1985, occupational health experts from academia, organized labor, management, professional associations, and voluntary organizations conducted an in-depth evaluation of the prevention strategies for the first five conditions on the list: occupational lung diseases, musculoskeletal injuries, occupational cancers, severe occupational traumatic injuries, and occupational cardiovascular diseases.

AN - 14894587; 1738207 AB - Alcohol use is a complex behavior, occurring in the context of an overall health lifestyle. The authors used data from a nationally representative telephone survey (n = 12,467 women) to examine associations between binge drinking, chronic drinking, and other health behaviors. Certain health-risk behaviors (e.g., smoking, drunk driving, and seatbelt nonuse) tend to cluster with alcohol misuse. These may act synergistically, thus augmenting the negative health effects of alcohol misuse.

In 1975, 24 outbreaks affecting 10,879 people were reported. The number, distribution and pattern of outbreaks were similar to previous years. Most involved semi-public water (67 per cent) rather than municipal (25 per cent) or individual (8 per cent) systems and were because of untreated or inadequately treated water. The two largest outbreaks were caused by deficiencies in municipal water distribution systems. Guidelines are given for investigating a waterborne outbreak.

AN - 15236864; 2001027 AB - For a proper analysis of the potentially causal relationship between exposure to volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) in drinking water and health events, it is essential to know T sub(1), the time when exposure started, and C = f(T), which is the change of the VOC concentration C as a function of time T and the total accumulated exposure (TAE) to VOCs to which an individual was exposed. In the typical situation of incidentally detected pollution of groundwater, no such information is available. This paper describes the development of a method for estimating T sub(1), C = f(T), and TAE as part of an epidemiologic study of the health effects of VOC contamination of an aquifer serving public and private wells. Pooled test results of city wells, tested periodically since 1981, provided the data base for developing a statistical model for estimating C = f(T).

AN - 15102448; 1891669 AB - Rabies virus is present in a variety of human fluids and tissues during the first five weeks of illness, but there are only four well-documented reports of human-to-human transmission--all in corneal transplant recipients. Prophylaxis of contacts of 14 rabid patients was predominantly for saliva exposure to open wounds or mucous membranes and was given most often to medical personnel having the greatest contact with the patient. Although it has never been documented, human-to-human transmission of rabies following saliva exposure remains a theoretical possibility.

AN - 15025007; 1828065 AB - Persons with Q fever usually present with severe retrobulbar headache, a fever to 104 degree F or higher with shaking chills, general malaise, myalgia, chest pain, and sometimes pneumonia and hepatitis. Cattle, sheep, goats, and ticks are the primary reservoirs of the etiologic agent, Coxiella burnetii . Humans are usually infected by inhaling infectious aerosols. Because C. burnetii can survive for long periods in the environment, it poses a continuing health hazard once it is disseminated. Q fever usually occurs sporadically, but large outbreaks are frequently observed throughout the world, particularly among abattoir workers and personnel working in research centers. Q fever endocarditis follows a chronic course and is frequently fatal. Tests for antibodies to C. burnetii are required for confirmation of the diagnosis. Tetracyclines remain the mainstay of treatment. JF - Clinical Infectious Diseases AU - Sawyer, LA AU - Fishbein, D B AU - McDade, JE AD - Viral and Rickettsial Zoonoses Branch, Div. Viral Dis., Cent.

Reports of clinical illness due to A. succiniciproducens are rare. In a retrospective review of anaerobic isolates referred to the CDC from 1975 through 1986, isolates of A. succiniciproducens from the blood of 21 patients were identified. Although 16 patients received antimicrobial therapy, its effect was unclear. A. succiniciproducens contributed to the deaths of seven patients. Disorders predisposing patients to anaerobic infections may put them at increased risk for A. succiniciproducens bacteremia. The presence of antecedent gastrointestinal tract signs and symptoms suggests that the gastrointestinal tract might be the primary portal of entry.

AN - 14757262; 1622291 AB - The 26S mRNA and most of the nsP4 encoding regions of the eastern equine encephalomyelitis (EEE) viral genome have been cloned. Excluding the poly(A) tail, the 26S mRNA region was determined to be 4139 nucleotides long and to share the same general organization as that of other alphaviruses. A highly conserved region of 19 nucleotides, the putative transcriptase recognition site for 26S mRNA synthesis, was present at the 26S/42S junction region of the 42S genomic RNA. Translation of the 26S mRNA began at the first AUG (positions 59 to 61) initiation codon and continued with an open reading frame that coded for a polyprotein of 1258 amino acids ending at a UAA ochre termination codon (positions 3776 to 3778). Transmembrane domains present in the EEE virus structural polyprotein have been identified and their functions discussed. JF - Journal of General Virology AU - Chang, G-JJ AU - Trent, D W AD - Div.

AN - 14741215; 1608900 AB - The CDC Gravid Mosquito Trap, a portable, battery-powered device designed to collect gravid Culex mosquitoes, proved highly effective for the collection of St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) vectors in Memphis, Tennessee. However, up to 10% of the catch was damaged by the fan blades, and a high proportion of Culex restuans Theobald and Culex pipiens s.1. were recorded as "Culex spp." because they could not be accurately identified. Other problems included desiccation in sunlight, instability in strong wind, attack by ants, and destruction of the net by birds, raccoons, and other animals. To correct these problems the trap was redesigned, with emphasis on the use of readily available materials.

AN - 14643583; 1508999 AB - Information gathered during the past decade indicates that the eastern flying squirrel, Glaucomys volans , is a zoonotic reservoir of Rickettsia prowazekii - causative agent of louse-borne (epidemic) typhus. The sporadic cases of typhus that have occurred in the USA in association with flying squirrels provide evidrnce that flying squirrels can transmit R. prowazekii infection to humans. Strains of R. prowazekii , isolated from flying squirrels multiply readily in human body lice, but flying squirrel lice, although readily infected, are very host specific and tend not to bite humans. It may be that the infection is spread to humans in infective ectoparasite faeces aerosolized when the flying squirrels groom themselves. JF - Parasitology Today AU - McDade, JE AD - Div.
