The extent of and factors associated with self-reported overdose and self-reported receipt of naloxone among people who inject drugs (PWID) in England, Wales and Northern Ireland
Not in the vein
Sex work amongst people who inject drugs in England, Wales and Northern Ireland
Factors associated with the use of cleaned needles and syringes among people who inject drugs in the UK
Factors associated with recent symptoms of an injection site infection or injury among people who inject drugs in three English cities
A Decade of Spore-Forming Bacterial Infections Among European Injecting Drug Users
The recent anthrax outbreak among injecting drug users (IDUs) in Europe has highlighted an ongoing problem with severe illness resulting from spore-forming bacteria in IDUs. We collated the numbers of cases of 4 bacterial illnesses (botulism, tetanus, Clostridium novyi, and anthrax) in European IDUs for 2000 to 2009 and calculated population rates. Six countries reported 367 cases; rates varied from 0.03 to 7.54 per million people. Most cases (92…
Preventing the next 'Sars' - European healthcare workers' attitudes towards monitoring their health for the surveillance of newly emerging infections
Monitoring absence and infectious disease symptom reports among HCWs may be a feasible means of surveillance for emerging infections in some settings. A pre-requisite will be tackling the drivers for symptomatic HCWs to attend work
HIV prone occupational exposures
BACKGROUND: Occupational exposures to bloodborne viruses are very common. Whilst occupational HIV transmissions are rare, the serious physical, psychological and cost implications of potential transmission make this an important public health topic. European and UK guidelines recommend HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) as a valuable tool of preventing occupational HIV infection. Yet one in five UK healthcare workers did not initiate PEP despite…
