Incidence of hepatitis B in the penitentiary of New Mexico
A study was conducted to determine the incidence of hepatitis B (HB) in a prison population. Forty-seven per cent of 455 male prisoners had evidence of past HB infection. HB seropositivity was most strongly correlated with: 1) a history of IV drug abuse; 2) age; 3) total time in any prison; and 4) race. During a one-year study period there were no clinical cases of HB in the prison and the seroconversion rate was 0.8 per cent among prisoners stil…
A pseudo-outbreak of influenza A associated with use of laboratory stock strain
In November 1982, when influenza type A(H3N2) viruses were spreading in the United States, influenza A(H1N1) viruses were reportedly isolated from 10 hospitalized patients in New Mexico, only two of whom had influenza-like illnesses. Reference stock influenza A/Fort Monmouth (FM)/1/47(H1N1) virus had been used to prepare fluorescent antibody test slides in the laboratory reporting the isolates. After investigation, it was concluded that the isola…
Animal bites as an occupational hazard among animal control officers
One hundred-and-two full-time animal control officers (ACOs) in New Mexico were surveyed to learn about animal bite risks in this little-studied occupational group. The overall bite rate was 2.57 per working-year (175-500 times population-based rate estimates). A "high risk" ACO subset (seven officers involved in 67 per cent of bite incidents) was discovered. Evaluation of animal bite data can contribute to prevention of occupational injuries amo…
Routine pre-exposure rabies prophylaxis
The rational use of rabies biologics is a difficult challenge. Pre-exposure rabies prophylaxis (PRE-RP) is one important rabies prevention strategy currently recommended by the US Public Health Service for groups considered at high risk of exposure to rabies. However, standard post-exposure rabies prophylaxis (POST-RP) appears equally effective in preventing rabies; PRE-RP still requires a limited vaccination series if a rabies exposure occurs an…
Risk of pregnancy among adolescent schoolgirls participating in a measles mass immunization program
A large measles vaccination program in the Albuquerque, New Mexico public schools in 1981, conducted according to US Public Health Service guidelines, was studied to determine rates of pregnancy among adolescent vaccinees. Pre-vaccination counseling of 1,922 clinic attendees prevented seven pregnant girls from being vaccinated. Despite counseling, of 1,913 female vaccinees age 13-18 years old, two were pregnant at the time of vaccination (1.05 pr…

Intestinal parasitosis among Southeast Asian immigrants in New Mexico
Results of an intestinal parasite survey of 776 Southeast Asian immigrants in New Mexico are presented. Parasites were found in 71.8 per cent of the patients; 44.3 per cent were multiply infected. Twenty different parasites were identified, some of which are not common in the United States
Patient recovery from type A botulism
A large outbreak of foodborne botulism provided an opportunity to study the recovery from type A botulism in a group of 27 patients. Patients were interviewed either nine or 13 months after the outbreak, and a written questionnaire was mailed at 24 months, to obtain information on each patient's symptom complex and on subsequent symptom resolution. Recovery from symptoms of botulism was slow. Patients reported that resolution of 50 per cent of th…
The advent of human diploid cell rabies vaccine
Three months' experience with the newly licensed human diploid cell rabies vaccine in the New Mexico comprehensive consultation-biologics system was reviewed. Comparison with the same period in 1978 and 1979 showed no increase in vaccine utilization despite the advent of this simpler-to-use, safer rabies vaccine. Anti-rabies treatments appear to be minimally influenced by new vaccine technology when a comprehensive consultation system is availabl…
A prospective study of response error in food history questionnaires
To explore the problem of response error in food history data, a prospective study examined the validity of food questionnaire data obtained five days after the study meal. Unobtrusive observation of 64 persons selecting two different foods at a buffet-style luncheon were compared with subsequent histories of food consumption. The predictive value of a positive response was 0.73 for one food and 0.82 for the second food. The response error measur…
Anti-rabies treatments in New Mexico
Fewer than 20% of the 30,000 anti-rabies treatments administered in the United States each year are necessary. New Mexico established a comprehensive consultation-biologics program to assist physicians in making appropriate and systematic rabies treatment decisions. In 1978, 32 individuals received anti-rabies treatments as the result of 144 physician consultation requests. Dog and cat exposures accounted for 70 per cent of consultations and 63 p…
