Abstract

Enteroviruses were monitored in three wastewater plants that used activated-sludge, trickling-filter, and oxidationponds processes, respectively, from October 2000 to September 2001 in the region of Monastir, a tourist zone situated in the center of the Tunisian coast. Isolation and serotyping were conducted as recommended by the World Health Organization. Enteroviruses were present during the whole period of investigation. From February to June, however, enterovirus titers decreased (cytopathic effect < 45 percent); they increased during summer and autumn and at the beginning of winter. Among the isolates in the 120 wastewater samples that were collected, eight were found to be poliovirus vaccine-related, 30 were echoviruses, and 8 were untypable. Echovirus Type 6 was the serotype most frequently isolated (in 49 percent of samples) during all seasons. Some serotypes appeared occasionally (echovirus types 11, 25, and 13). Isolation of serotypes varied according to the step of wastewater treatment. Poliovirus 1 and Echovirus 6 were the most resistant serotypes., Introduction Human enteroviruses (HEVs) are a large, clinically important group of human viruses. The genus Enterovirus contains 64 serotypes, which are divided into five groups: poliovirus (PV serotypes 1-3); HEV-A [...]

Design Prospective incidence survey. Setting An adult general ICU in a university hospital in western Turkey. Patients All patients who stayed more than 48 h in ICU during a 2-year period (2000--2001). Measurements and results The study included 434 patients (7394 patient-days). A total of 225 infections were identified in 113 patients (26%). The incidence and infection rates were 56.8 in 1000-patient days and 51.8%, respectively. The infections were pneumonia (40.9%), bloodstream (30.2%), urinary tract (23.6%) and surgical site infections (5.3%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa (22.6%), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (22.2%) and Acinetobacter spp. (11.9%) were frequently isolated micro-organisms. Median length of stay with nosocomial infection and without were 13 days (Interquartile range, IQR, 20) and 2 days (IQR, 2), respectively (P Conclusion These data suggest that, in addition to underlying clinical conditions, some invasive procedures can be independent risk factors for nosocomial infection in ICU.
