Antigenic Diversity of Enteroviruses Associated with Nonpolio Acute Flaccid Paralysis, India, 2007–2009
Because of the broadened acute flacid paralysis (AFP) definition and enhanced surveillance, many nonpolio AFP (NP-AFP) cases have been reported in India since 2005. To determine the spectrum of nonpolio enterovirus (NPEV) serotypes associated with NP-AFP from polio-endemic and -free regions, we studied antigenic diversity of AFP-associated NPEVs. Of fecal specimens from 2,786 children with NP-A...

It is soundly proven that starting highly active antiretroviral therapy at higher CD4 counts leads to improved outcomes. Use of CD4 counts to time treat ment initiation leads to fewer opportunistic diseases, improved life ex pectancy, and reduce...
متن کاملAcute flaccid paralysis incidence and Zika virus surveillance, Pacific Islands
PROBLEM The emergence of Zika virus has challenged outbreak surveillance systems in many at-risk, low-resource countries. As the virus has been linked with Guillain-Barré syndrome, routine data on the incidence of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) may provide a useful early warning system for the emergence of Zika virus. APPROACH We documented all Zika virus outbreaks and cases in 21 Pacific Isla...
متن کاملDetection of Diphtheritic Polyneuropathy by Acute Flaccid Paralysis Surveillance, India
Diphtheritic polyneuropathy is a vaccine-preventable illness caused by exotoxin-producing strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae. We present a retrospective convenience case series of 15 children (6 girls)<15 years of age (mean age 5.2 years, case-fatality rate 53%, and 1 additional case-patient who was ventilator dependent at the time of last follow-up; median follow-up period 60 days) with si...
