Public health intervention in a cocaine-related syphilis outbreak
BACKGROUND. Cocaine users and prostitutes are at high risk for syphilis, but disease control is difficult among these populations. During a cocaine-related syphilis outbreak in Chester, Pennsylvania, in 1989, we conducted a control program at sites where sex and drugs were sold. METHODS. During a 2-week period, investigators recruited persons from these sites for interview, serologic testing, and empiric treatment. RESULTS. Among 136 persons scre…
Health Assessment of the 1985 Flood Disaster in Puerto Rico
In Puerto Rico, during October 1985, tropical storm Isabel caused widespread flooding, landslides, and collapsing of bridges. A maximum of 180 persons died, including an estimated 127 at a landslide where the majority (78%) of deaths resulted from traumatic injury. Approximately 3,000 homes were damaged with 4,400 persons temporarily displaced into 44 shelters. A shelter surveillance system was established to monitor 19 acute and chronic conditio…
Control of a non-foodborne outbreak of salmonellosis
We report an outbreak of Salmonella typhimurium in the infant room of a day care center. Time between onset dates, clustering of cases in the room, lack of a common food exposure, lack of illness among other children and staff, and lack of community-wide infection suggested person-to-person or continuing-common-source transmission. Successful preventive measures included instruction of personnel in proper handwashing and diaper-changing procedure…
Imported measles outbreak in a university
In 1981, a measles outbreak in an Arkansas university involved 16 students and four persons who were contacts of these students. The first two cases were in students who recently returned from Honduras. Of the 16 students with measles, 12 had significant gastrointestinal symptoms; five had elevated liver transaminase, and eight were hospitalized. Only two of the students were considered adequately immunized. A voluntary immunization clinic held o…
