Until recently, when research-based serologic tests (1,2 ) were devel- oped to test for antibody to hepatitis E virus (anti-HEV), no serologic test was available to identify HEV infection, and diagnosis depended on a history of exposure in an ap- propriate epidemiologic setting and the exclusion of other causes of viral hepatitis. During 1989–1992, acute HEV infection was documented among six persons in the United States who had returned from international travel. This report summarizes CDC’s serologic documentation of acute HEV infection—presumed to have been ac- quired during international travel—in four of these persons. Patient 1 On February 23, 1991, a woman from Denver traveled to Rosarito Beach, Mexico, for 1 day (3 ). On March 17, she developed headache and nausea, and on March 23, became jaundiced. A serum specimen obtained on March 23 demonstrated a serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level of 2100 U/L (normal: 0–35 U/L), an alkaline phosphatase level of 516 U/L (normal: 110–295 U/L), and a total bilirubin level of 7.5 mg/dL (normal: 0–1 mg/dL).

Page 2 of 64 RIVM Report 330371008 Abstract Quantitative risk profile for viruses in food Viruses, similar to bacteria, can pose a risk to human health when present in food, but comparatively little is known about them in this context. In a study aimed at the health risks posed by viruses in food products, the RIVM has inventoried both current knowledge and pertinent information that is lacking. The inventory, which is presented in this report as a so-called risk profile, focuses on three viruses that can be transmitted to humans through food consumption. These are the hepatitis A viruses in shellfish, noroviruses in fresh fruits and vegetables and hepatitis E viruses in pork. The study was commissioned by the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority.

  • EPI GRAM September, 2015
    EPI GRAM September, 2015 A Monthly Publication of the Stark Public Health Infrastructure Coalition EPI Gram is a monthly publication of the Stark County Public Health Infrastructure Coalition. It contains a summary of provisional communicable disease reports and other key public health indicators, with summary tables for Stark County, Ohio. Some reportable conditions may be under investigation and, at any given time, data may fluctuate from month to month for a specific category. Monthly Highlight: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rapidly progressive, always fatal neurodegenerative disorder believed to be caused by abnormal versions of a type of protein called a prion. Normally these proteins are harmless; however, when they're misshapen, they become infectious and can harm normal biological processes. CJD occurs worldwide, and the estimated annual incidence in many countries, including the United States, has been reported to be about 1 to 2 cases per million population. Although a case definition has not been established by the CDC, reports should be based upon the clinical signs and symptoms (after ruling out other forms of dementia, infections, toxic and metabolic encephalopathies and tumors) and laboratory criteria identifying the 14-3-3 protein. Symptoms include confusion, poor concentration, lethargy, progressive dementia, intermittent unsteadiness and variable ataxia. CJD is a Class B reportable disease in Ohio. A 10-year history of cases shows an average of 1 case/year among the four health jurisidictions in Stark County. Thirty-six percent of the cases were confirmed based on clinical and laboratory criteria. The remaing 64% were classified as either probable or suspect cases.

  • Hepatitis E Division of Disease Control What Do I Need to Know?
    Division of Disease Control What Do I Need To Know? Hepatitis E What is hepatitis E? Hepatitis E is an infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis E virus. Hepatitis E is not common in North Dakota or in the United States. Who is at risk for hepatitis E? Anyone can get hepatitis E, but those at greater risk include travelers to developing countries, particularly parts of Mexico and countries in South Asia and North Africa. Most outbreaks in developing countries have been associated with contaminated drinking water. Hepatitis E is more common among people ages 15 to 40. Rare cases have occurred in the United States among people with no history of travel to countries where hepatitis E is common. What are the symptoms of hepatitis E? People with hepatitis E may not have symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they are similar to those of other types of viral hepatitis and may include tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal discomfort, vomiting, dark urine or jaundice (i.e., yellowing of skin or whites of eyes). The severity of symptoms increases with age. Hepatitis E is more severe among pregnant women, especially in the third trimester. How soon do symptoms appear? Symptoms may appear 15 days to 64 days after exposure, but symptoms usually appear within 26 to 42 days. How is hepatitis E spread? Hepatitis E virus is found in the stools (feces) of infected people. The virus is spread by eating or drinking contaminated food or water. Transmission from person to person occurs less commonly than with hepatitis A virus.
