The aims of the current study are to describe a case of POGS with uveitis due to flea-borne typhus (FBT) and to present a diagnostic and therapeutic approach to POGS. The patient, a 38-year old man, presented with persistent unilateral eye pain, fever, rash, preauricular and submandibular lymphadenopathy, and laboratory findings of FBT: hyponatremia, elevated transaminase and lactate dehydrogenase levels, thrombocytopenia, and hypoalbuminemia. His condition rapidly improved after starting doxycycline. Soon after hospitalization, he was diagnosed with uveitis, which responded to topical prednisolone. To derive a diagnostic and empiric therapeutic approach to POGS, we reviewed the cases of POGS from its various causes since 1976 to discern epidemiologic clues and determine successful diagnostic techniques and therapies; we found multiple cases due to cat scratch disease (CSD; due to Bartonella henselae) (twelve), tularemia (ten), sporotrichosis (three), Rickettsia conorii (three), R.

  • Sexually Transmitted Diseases/Infections Chancroid
    Sexually Transmitted Diseases/Infections Chancroid Chancroid is a bacterial infection caused by Haemophilus ducreyi. It is spread by sexual contact and results in genital ulcers. Chancroid is a reportable genital ulcer condition that is rarely seen in North Carolina. When infection does occur, it is usually associated with sporadic outbreaks. Chancroid, as well as genital herpes and syphilis, is a risk factor in the transmission of HIV infection. Chancroid lesions may be difficult to distinguish from ulcers caused by genital herpes or syphilis. A physician must therefore diagnose the infection by excluding other diseases with similar symptoms. The combination of a painful genital ulcer and tender suppurative inguinal adenopathy suggests the diagnosis of chancroid. A probable diagnosis of chancroid, for both clinical and surveillance purposes, can be made if all of the following criteria are met: 1) the patient has one or more painful genital ulcers; 2) the patient has no evidence of T. pallidum infection by darkfield examination of ulcer exudate or by a serologic test for syphilis performed at least 7 days after onset of ulcers; 3) the clinical presentation, appearance of genital ulcers and, if present, regional lymphadenopathy are typical for chancroid; and 4) a test for HSV performed on the ulcer exudate is negative. A definitive diagnosis of chancroid requires the identification of H. ducreyi on special culture media that is not widely available from commercial sources; even when these media are used, sensitivity is less than 80 percent. No FDA- cleared PCR test for H. ducreyi is available in the United States, but such testing can be performed by clinical laboratories that have developed their own PCR test and have conducted a CLIA verification study.

  • Communicable Diseases Weekly Report
    Communicable Diseases Weekly Report Week 08, 21 February to 27 February 2021 In summary, we report: • Chancroid – one new case in a returned traveller • Rodent-borne disease risks • Novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) • Summary of notifiable conditions activity in NSW For further information see NSW Health infectious diseases page. This includes links to other NSW Health infectious disease surveillance reports and a diseases data page for a range of notifiable infectious diseases. Chancroid One case of chancroid was notified this reporting week in a traveller returning from overseas. Chancroid is an acute sexually transmitted bacterial infection that causes painful genital ulcers. The condition is now rarely seen in Australia and only one other case has been notified in NSW during the past decade. Although the incidence of chancroid is decreasing globally, it is still reported in some regions within Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and South Pacific. Chancroid genital ulcer disease is a known risk factor for the transmission of HIV. The bacterium that causes chancroid, Haemophilus ducreyi, is usually transmitted through anal, oral, or vaginal sex with an infected person. After infection, one or more ulcers (sores) develop on the genitals or around the anus. Non-genital skin infections have also been reported globally, through non-sexual skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. The ulcers are usually painful, but rarely can be asymptomatic. Swelling in the groin (due to enlarged painful lymph nodes that can liquify and develop into buboes) can also occur. Other symptoms may include pain during sexual intercourse or while urinating. An infected person can spread the infection from their genital region to other parts of their body.

  • AMD Projects: Deadly Disease Databases
    CDC’s AMD Program AMD Projects Innovate • Transform • Protect CDC’s Advanced Molecular Detection (AMD) program fosters scientific innovation in genomic sequencing, epidemiology, and bioinformatics to transform public health and protect people from disease threats. AMD Project: Deadly Disease Databases Whole genome analysis and database development for anthrax (Bacillus anthracis), melioidosis (Burkholderia pseudomallei), and Brucellosis (Brucella spp.) Epidemiologists and forensic professionals can use whole genome sequencing – a way of determining an organism’s complete, detailed genome – and large databases to determine the source of dangerous germs. Having a large, accessible collection of disease pathogens could help scientists quickly find out if a certain illness is naturally occurring or the result of bioterrorism. CDC is establishing a public database where scientists from around the world can share information about these potentially deadly CDC is establishing public databases so that diseases. CDC scientists have begun sequencing the organisms that scientists from around the world can share information about deadly diseases like cause anthrax (Bacillus anthracis), brucellosis (Brucella spp.), and anthrax, brucellosis, and melioidosis. melioidosis (Burkholderia pseudomallei), three pathogens that could occur naturally or as the result of bioterrorism. Current methods of determining the genetic structure of these organisms are not standardized and sometimes not effective. Using whole genome sequencing for these pathogens will allow scientists www.cdc.gov/amd Updated: May 2017 to accurately and quickly find the geographic origin of the isolates and will improve overall knowledge and understanding of them. Having a detailed database of these genomes will also ensure quicker and more effective responses to outbreaks. For more information on anthrax, please visit www.cdc.gov/anthrax/index.html.
