Who and Why? HIV-Testing Refusal During Pregnancy
An increase in Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccination among preschool-aged children in inner-city Los Angeles, 1990 through 1992
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccination coverage and disease incidence were measured among preschool-aged children residing in inner-city Los Angeles. Among children 1.5 to 14 months of age, vaccination coverage of at least one dose increased from 0% in 1990 to 82% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 73%, 91%) in 1992. Among children 15 to 59 months old, vaccination coverage of at least one Hib dose administered at or after age 15 months incr…

Swimming-associated cryptosporidiosis
In July and August 1988, an outbreak of gastroenteritis affected 44 of 60 (73%) persons from 5 separate swimming groups who had used the same swimming pool in Los Angeles. Cryptosporidium was identified in 5 of 8 (63%) stool specimens, and the clinical picture was consistent with Cryptosporidium infection. Resistance of Cryptosporidium to chlorine, an inadequately maintained pool filtration system, repeated exposure to pool water, and possible co…

The effects of case definition in maternal screening and reporting criteria on rates of congenital syphilis
Reports of congenital syphilis in 1987 were reviewed to determine how new national guidelines for defining congenital syphilis would influence reported rates in Los Angeles County. After reviewing all reported reactive serologic tests for syphilis, we found 166 additional cases, resulting in a 426 percent increase in the 1987 reported rate of congenital syphilis. Rates of congenital syphilis are dependent upon surveillance practices, screening po…
HIV seroprevalence in intravenous drug users
To estimate the seroprevalence and investigate risk behaviors for HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection in intravenous drug users in Los Angeles County, a stratified, random sample of 790 clients, enrolled in either methadone maintenance or detoxification programs, were studied. Thirteen study participants (1.8 per cent) were seropositive; of these, five were homosexual/bisexual males and three were female prostitutes. Ninety-five per cent…
Declining rates of amebiasis in Los Angeles County
In Los Angeles County from 1983-1988, rates of amebiasis declined 65 percent among White males 15-44 years. No such decline occurred among White females 15-44 years or White males less than 15. Reported acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases in the district of highest AIDS incidence has followed the initial decline in amebiasis by four years. Amebiasis trends may be a useful predictor of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission an…

Public health at the 1984 Summer Olympics
During the 1984 Summer Olympic Games, the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services used its active disease surveillance system to monitor disease occurrence and other health concerns. Reports were collected by telephone three times a week from 198 participating facilities including hospitals, prepaid health plans, private physicians, and Olympic sites. Background data were obtained two months preceding the Olympic events. Less illness was…
