Subclinical Burkholderia pseudomallei Infection Associated with Travel to the British Virgin Islands
Dewart CM , Almeida FA , Koval C , Nowicki S , Gee JE , Elrod MG , Gulvik CA , Salzer JS , de Fijter S , Liu L . Emerg Infect Dis 2021 27 (12) 3182-3184 Phylogenetic analysis of a clinical isolate associated with subclinical Burkholderia pseudomallei infection revealed probable exposure in the British Virgin Islands, where reported infections are limited. Clinicians should consider this geographic distribution when evaluating possible infection among persons with compatible travel history. |
Cluster of human Salmonella Guinea infections: Reported reptile exposures and associated opportunities for infection prevention - Ohio, 2019-2020.
Dewart CM , Waltenburg MA , Dietrich S , Machesky K , Singh A , Brandt E , de Fijter S . Prev Vet Med 2021 198 105530 A cluster of five human Salmonella Guinea cases was identified among Ohio residents through core genome multilocus sequence typing of clinical isolates. An investigation was conducted to characterize illnesses and identify common exposures. Four patients were aged ≤5 years and three of four patients with information available regarding exposure to animals reported prior exposure to bearded dragons. Practices that potentially increased the risk for Salmonella transmission from reptiles to humans included allowing pet reptiles to roam freely in the home, cleaning reptile habitats indoors, and kissing reptiles. These findings prompted a multistate investigation that resulted in the identification of additional closely related Salmonella Guinea isolates from patients across multiple states. The investigation of cases in Ohio and information shared by other states indicated the potential association between human Salmonella Guinea infections and reptiles, particularly bearded dragons. To prevent Salmonella transmission from reptiles, continued educational efforts should address pet owners and focus on specific reptile ownership practices. |
Prevalence of rectal chlamydial and gonococcal infections: a systematic review
Dewart CM , Bernstein KT , DeGroote NP , Romaguera R , Turner AN . Sex Transm Dis 2017 45 (5) 287-293 We undertook a systematic review to examine rectal Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng) infections in women and men who have sex with men (MSM). English-language publications measuring rectal Ct or Ng prevalence using nucleic acid amplification tests were eligible. Searching multiple electronic databases, we identified 115 eligible reports published between January 2000 and November 2016. Overall, the prevalence of rectal Ct (9.0%) was higher than rectal Ng (4.7%). Rectal Ct prevalence was similar in MSM (9%) and women (9.2%), while rectal Ng prevalence was higher in MSM (6.1%) than women (1.7%). Generally, rectal Ct prevalence was similar in STD clinics (9.1%) and non-sexual health clinics (8.6%), whereas rectal Ng prevalence was somewhat lower in STD clinics (4.5%) than non-sexual health clinics (6%). These infections appear to be relatively common across a range of populations and clinical settings, highlighting the need for additional research on these preventable, treatable conditions. |
