Increasing frequency of heterosexually transmitted Aids in southern Florida
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases reported as the result of heterosexual contact have been increasing in the United States, with Florida reporting a disproportionate number. We investigated 168 such AIDS cases from southern Florida. After follow-up, 50 (30%) patients were reclassified into other transmission categories. The data suggest that the increased rate of heterosexually acquired AIDS cases reported from southern Florida was …
Aids surveillance among American Indians and Alaska natives
To assess the human immunodeficiency virus epidemic among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN), we examined acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) case and seroprevalence data through December 1990. While AI/AN had a low 1990 reported AIDS case rate (4.0/100,000), the increase in diagnosed cases adjusted for reporting delays from 1989 to 1990 was higher (23.1%) among AI/AN than any other racial/ethnic group. Seroprevalence data for mili…
Necrotizing enterocolitis mortality in the United States, 1979-85
The Multiple Cause of Death Mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics were analyzed to describe epidemiologic characteristics and trends in deaths related to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) among infants in the United States from 1979 to 1985. The average annual mortality rate (multiple cause mortality) for NEC was 13.1 deaths per 100,000 live births. NEC annual mortality rates decreased significantly during the study period f…
Survival analysis of hemophilia-associated Aids cases in the US
Using national hemophilia-associated AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) surveillance data and the life table method of survival analysis, the median length of survival of hemophilic patients in the United States after the diagnosis of AIDS was 11.7 months; the cumulative probability of survival at one year was 49.2 +/- 2.0 percent; at two years, 28.9 +/- 2.3 percent. Patients 13-29 years of age at the time of diagnosis had the longest surv…
Hemophilia-associated Aids in the United States, 1981 to September 1987
Between January 1, 1981 and September 4, 1987, 407 cases of hemophilia-associated acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) had been reported to the Centers for Disease Control. The number of cases diagnosed each year nearly doubled, except in 1986, when cases increased only 50 per cent. Demographic characteristics of the patients did not change over time. The majority (74 per cent) had severe hemophilia and 97 per cent received commercially prod…
Intestinal parasites in pet store puppies in Atlanta
We examined 143 pups from 14 Atlanta area pet stores for intestinal parasites and reviewed deworming practices and information given to customers. Seventy-four (52 per cent) of the pups had at least one parasite including Giardia sp. (34 per cent), Toxocara canis (12 per cent), and Isospora sp. (9 per cent). Eighty-eight per cent received some form of anthelminthic treatment while at the store. Only six (43 per cent) of the stores routinely infor…
Trichinosis in Southeast Asian refugees in the United States
Between 1975 and 1984, the incidence of trichinosis in the United States (per million person years at risk) was 25 times greater for the Southeast Asian refugee population than for the general United States population. Cases in the southeast Asian refugees differed from those reported previously in the general population in geographic distribution and source of infected meat. Cambodians and Laotians accounted for over 90 per cent of the cases in …
