Epidemiology of Hantavirus infections in humans: a comprehensive, global overview.

Watson DC1, Sargianou M, Papa A, Chra P, Starakis I, Panos G.Author information 1Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, Patras University General Hospital , Patras , Greece .AbstractHantaviruses comprise an emerging global threat for public health, affecting about 30,000 humans annually. Infection may lead to Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in the Europe and Asia. Humans are spillover hosts, acquiring infection primarily through the inhalation of aerosolized excreta from infected rodents and insectivores. Risk factors for infection include involvement in outdoor activities, such as rural- and forest-related activities, peridomestic rodent presence, exposure to potentially infected dust and outdoor military training; prolonged, intimate contact with infected individuals promotes transmission of Andes virus, the only Hantavirus known to be transmitted from human-to-human. The total number of Hantavirus case reports is generally on the rise, as is the number of affected countries. Knowledge of the geographical distribution, regional incidence and associated risk factors of the disease are crucial for clinicians to suspect and diagnose infected individuals early on. Climatic, ecological and environmental changes are related to fluctuations in rodent populations, and subsequently to human epidemics. Thus, prevention may be enhanced by host-reservoir control and human exposure prophylaxis interventions, which likely have led to a dramatic reduction of human cases in China over the past decades; vaccination may also play a role in the future.

Mycobacterium fortuitum infection in continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion sites.

López Aventín D1, Rubio González B, Petiti Martín G, Segura S, Rodríguez-Peralto JL, Riveiro-Falkenbach E, Puig J, Pujol RM.Author information 1Departments of Dermatology, Hospital del Mar - Parc de Salut Mar, Passeig Marítim 25-29, 08003, Barcelona.AbstractMycobacterium fortuitum (M. fortuitum) is an atypical rapidly growing mycobacteria widely distributed in soil, dust and water which can behave as an opportunistic human pathogen.1 Accidental injuries, medical procedures (surgery, injections, and catheters) or medical and paramedical cosmetic procedures are often incriminated as portal of entry for skin and soft-tissue infections caused by this microorganism.2 Herein, we report two cases in which a localized M. fortuitum cutaneous infection developed on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) sites during pump therapy.
