Sentinel surveillance for HIV-2 infection in high-risk US populations
OBJECTIVES. We conducted sentinel surveillance in persons practicing behaviors known to transmit retroviruses to determine the US presence and extent of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2). METHODS. Sentinel surveillance for HIV-2 was conducted by testing 31,533 anonymous blood specimens from patients at sexually transmitted disease clinics, injecting drug users at treatment centers, and clients at HIV counseling and testing sites in 14 U…
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a cohort of Vietnam veterans
We examined the incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in a cohort of 18,313 United States Army veterans from the Vietnam era. Diagnoses were confirmed through a review of hospital records. Among veterans who had died after discharge or who had participated in a telephone interview (8,170 Vietnam veterans and 7,564 non-Vietnam veterans), seven Vietnam veterans and one non-Vietnam veteran had developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (p = 0.07). As none…
Inappropriate comparisons of incidence and prevalence in epidemiologic research
Several epidemiologists have published papers in major medical journals in which they compare incidence rates and prevalence and use these comparisons to support conclusions regarding questions of major public health importance. Although these papers have been criticized in published correspondence, we believe that continued use and advocacy of such comparisons by some epidemiologists has created the need for a full discussion of this practice. I…
