MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2023 72 (20) 564-565 On February 1, 2022, the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) Department of Health (VIDOH) was notified of a confirmed case of Legionnaires disease in an adult U.S. resident (Figure). The patient, a man aged 55 years, returned to his U.S. state of residence from leisure travel in USVI on January 22 and developed a cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue on January 23. On January 29, he was hospitalized for shortness of breath and received a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result at admission. The combination of the patient’s symptoms and recent travel history prompted administration of a urinary antigen test (UAT) for Legionnaires disease specific to Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 (Lp1); a positive result was returned on January 31. Inpatient treatment administered for COVID-19 pneumonia and Legionnaires disease included remdesivir, oral levofloxacin, oral and intravenous steroid therapy, and as-needed use of a bronchodilator inhaler and an expectorant. Remdesivir was discontinued during inpatient treatment because of elevated liver enzymes. The patient recovered and was discharged on February 2. |
Cluster analysis and cluster ranking for asthma inpatient hospitalizations among children, adolescents, and adults aged 0 to 19 years in Cook County, Illinois, 2011-2014
Labgold K , Bennett AC , Wells KM . Prev Chronic Dis 2020 17 E05 Asthma is one of the top 5 principal diagnoses for inpatient hospitalizations among children and adolescents aged 1 to 17 years in the United States (1). Inpatient hospitalizations are used as a marker for severe asthma symptoms, suggesting poor management of disease and limited access to routine care (2). Preventing adverse childhood asthma outcomes is a priority of the Illinois Department of Public Health in collaboration with community and university partners (3). To understand the burden of asthma among young people in the greater Chicago (Cook County) area, we mapped crude rates of asthma inpatient hospitalizations among children, adolescents, and young adults aged 0 to 19 years, by zip code, in Cook County, Illinois, during 2011–2014. Additionally, we performed a cluster analysis to identify neighborhoods with high rates of asthma inpatient hospitalizations. |
