The burden of pneumococcal disease among Latin American and Caribbean children
OBJECTIVE: To conduct a comprehensive review of data on pneumococcal disease incidence in Latin America and the Caribbean and project the annual number of pneumococcal disease episodes and deaths among children < 5 years of age in the region. METHODS: We carried out a systematic review (1990 to 2006) on the burden of pneumococcal disease in children < 5 years of age in the region. We summarized annual incidence rates and case fatality ratios usin…
Identifying unit costs for use in regional economic evaluation
Se analizan algunos temas relacionados con la seleccion y la construccion de los datos de costos unitarios para utilizar en analisis economicos regionales, con ejemplos ilustrativos de un analisis de la vacuna conjugada infantil antineumococica realizado en 10 paises de America Latina y el Caribe en 2006. El objetivo del analisis fue obtener un conjunto consistente de costos unitarios de recursos empleados en el tratamiento de la enfermedad neumo…
Cost-effectiveness of pneumococcal conjugate vaccination in Latin America and the Caribbean
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine was highly cost-effective up to $40 per dose. Introduction of pneumococcal vaccine in the Latin American and Caribbean region is projected to reduce childhood mortality and to be highly cost-effective across a range of possible costs
The Century of Vaccines
In this issue of the Journal we highlight the promise and controversies surrounding vaccines in the developed and developing world. We are honored and gratified that Associate Editor Daniel J. Tarantola was willing to pull together our first issue on this topic since the October 2000 disease eradication and elimination issue. Leading vaccine authorities worldwide contributed their views including Ciro A. de Quadros author of the this month’s Edit…
Control acelerado de la rubéola y prevención del síndrome de rubéola congénita en las Américas
Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality and with high costs. Today, as a result of improved vaccination and epidemiological surveillance efforts directed at eradicating measles from the Western Hemisphere, there has been a notable increase in the ability to detect, prevent, and control rubella and CRS. The importance of these measures is undeniable, and this piece examines the components that are e…
Brote de poliomielitis en Haití y la República Dominicana debido a un virus derivado de la vacuna antipoliomielítica oral
In October 2000, the Ministries of Health of the Dominican Republic and Haiti notified two cases of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in rural areas, one of them in a 9-month-old female, and the other in a 2-year-old female, respectively. Stool samples that were obtained from these cases, which occurred in July and August 2000, after a 9-year interruption of wild poliovirus circulation in the Western Hemisphere, revealed the presence of type 1 poliov…
La eliminación del sarampión en Cuba
The vaccine against measles came into use in Cuba in 1971. During the seventies, a new early strategy for measles control was established, and it was followed by further efforts in the early eighties. Despite improvements to the control program, disease outbreaks continued to occur. In 1986, after examining the experience acquired through the control initiatives that were already in place, a new measles vaccination strategy was adopted. In time, …
Rational use of rubella vaccine for prevention of congenital rubella syndrome in the Americas
Rubella is a viral disease with minor morbidity and few complication unless it is contracted by a pregnant woman. Rubella infection during the first trimester of pregnancy often leads to fetal death or severe congenital defects (congenital rubella syndrome, CRS). Rubella remains endemic in many countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. It has been estimated that 20,000 or more infants are perhaps born with CRS each year in Latin American and …
