Facebook-augmented partner notification in a cluster of syphilis cases in Milwaukee
Hunter P , Oyervides O , Grande KM , Prater D , Vann V , Reitl I , Biedrzycki PA . Public Health Rep 2014 129 43-49 Public health professionals face many challenges in infectious disease cluster case identification and partner notification (PN), especially in populations using social media as a primary communication venue. We present a method using Facebook and social network diagram illustration to identify, link, and notify individuals in a cluster of syphilis cases in young black men who have sex with men (MSM). Use of Facebook was crucial in identifying two of 55 individuals with syphilis, and the cooperation of socially connected individuals with traditional PN methods yielded a high number of contacts per case. Integration of PN services for HIV and sexually transmitted diseases, as well as collaboration between the city and state information systems, assisted in the cluster investigation. Given that rates of syphilis and HIV infection are increasing significantly in young African American MSM, the use of social media can provide an additional avenue to facilitate case identification and notification. |

Cohen NJ , Callahan DB , Gonzalez V , Balaban V , Wang RT , Pordell P , Beato R , Oyervides O , Huang WT , Massoudi MS . Emerg Infect Dis 2011 17 (9) 1756-7 TO THE EDITOR: In response to the emergence of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus (1), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued interim guidance for preventing spread of the pandemic virus in schools. Initial guidance recommended that dismissal of students be considered for schools with confirmed cases of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 infection. The guidance was subsequently revised to recommend monitoring for respiratory illness and exclusion of ill students until they were noninfectious, rather than dismissal. |
Effect of school closure from pandemic (H1N1) 2009, Chicago, Illinois, USA
Jarquin VG , Callahan DB , Cohen NJ , Balaban V , Wang R , Beato R , Pordell P , Oyervides O , Huang WT , Lipman H , Fishbein D , Massoudi MS . Emerg Infect Dis 2011 17 (4) 751-3 TO THE EDITOR: On April 28, 2009, the Chicago Department of Public Health received notification of 1 student at an elementary school with a probable pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus infection; the infection was subsequently laboratory confirmed. This case was one of the first pandemic (H1N1) 2009 cases in Chicago. To prevent transmission of influenza and with guidance from the Chicago Department of Public Health, the school closed on April 29; it reopened on May 6 after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revised its recommendations (1). We conducted an investigation to evaluate psychosocial and economic effects of the school closure on the students' families and to assess whether students complied with mitigation recommendations. In the early pandemic, Chicago's number of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 cases was one of the highest in the United States (2). |
