Hepatitis E in England and Wales
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 2005, 329 cases of hepatitis E virus infection were confirmed in England and Wales; 33 were confirmed indigenous infections, and a further 67 were estimated to be indigenous infections. Hepatitis E should be considered in the investigation of patients with hepatitis even if they have no history of travel.

Hepatitis C Infection Among Injecting Drug Users in England and Wales (1992–2006): There and Back Again?
Changes in hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence from 1992 to 2006 were examined by using 24,311 records from unlinked anonymous surveillance of injecting drug users in England and Wales. Bayesian logistic regression was used to estimate annual prevalence, accounting for changing recruitment patterns (age, gender, injecting duration, geographic region, interactions) and the sensitivity and specifi...
متن کاملThe Reactive Chemisorption of Carbon Dioxide at Mg(100) Surface
X-ray photoelectron and electron energy loss spectroscopic (XPS-EELS) studies reveal that the following species are present when a mixture of CO2 and water vapour is exposed to the clean Mg(100) surface at 110K: CO3(a), C(a) CH(a), OH(a). The reactive chemisorptions of CO2 and H2O vapour coadsorbed on a Mg surface ...
متن کاملAcute hepatitis B infection associated with blood transfusion in England and Wales, 1991-7: review of database.
Blood donations in England and Wales are collected from healthy donors who do not acknowledge factors associated with an increased risk of bloodborne infections. All donations issued for transfusion since the early 1970s have been tested for hepatitis B surface antigen as a marker of transmissible hepatitis B virus. These measures have resulted in low rates of transmission by transfusion but ha...
متن کاملEstimating hepatitis C prevalence in England and Wales by synthesizing evidence from multiple data sources. Assessing data conflict and model fit.
Multiparameter evidence synthesis is becoming widely used as a way of combining evidence from multiple and often disparate sources of information concerning a number of parameters. Synthesizing data in one encompassing model allows propagation of evidence and learning. We demonstrate the use of such an approach in estimating the number of people infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Engl...
متن کاملCoadsorption of Dioxygen and Carbon Monoxide on a Mg(100) Surface
The activation of carbon monoxide by oxygen on Mg(100) surface has been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Carbon monoxide is only weakly adsorbed (dispersion-type forces) on a magnesium surface. The XPS result has shown that the dissociation of carbon monoxide leading to the formation of a metastable surface carbonate species occurs through the participation of an oxyg...
