  • Pearls: Infectious Diseases
    Pearls: Infectious Diseases Karen L. Roos, M.D.1 ABSTRACT Neurologists have a great deal of knowledge of the classic signs of central nervous system infectious diseases. After years of taking care of patients with infectious diseases, several symptoms, signs, and cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities have been identified that are helpful time and time again in determining the etiological agent. These lessons, learned at the bedside, are reviewed in this article. KEYWORDS: Herpes simplex virus, Lyme disease, meningitis, viral encephalitis CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS does not have an altered level of consciousness, sei- zures, or focal neurologic deficits.

    12/2/2015 EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES What could be emerging in North Dakota? TRACY K. MILLER, PHD, MPH STATE EPIDEMIOLOGIST [email protected] OBJECTIVES 1. Identify new or re-emerging infections 2. Identify ways outside agencies can help the health department monitor for disease 3. Determine what education needs are available. 2 WHAT ARE "EMERGING" INFECTIOUS DISEASES? Infectious diseases whose incidence in humans has increased in the past two decades or threatens to increase in the near future have been defined as "emerging." These diseases, which respect no national boundaries, include: • New infections resulting from changes or evolution of existing organisms • Known infections spreading to new geographic areas or populations • Previously unrecognized infections appearing in areas undergoing ecologic transformation 3 1 12/2/2015 WHAT ARE RE-EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES? Any condition, usually an infection, that had decreased in incidence in the global population and was brought under control through effective health care policy and improved living conditions, reached a nadir, and, more recently, began to resurge as a health problem due to changes in the health status of a susceptible population. 4 REPORTABLE CONDITIONS 5 CDC’S LIST OF EIDS • malaria • drug-resistant infections (antimicrobial resistance) • Marburg hemorrhagic fever • bovine spongiform encephalopathy (Mad cow disease) & variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) • measles • campylobacteriosis • meningitis • Chagas disease • monkeypox • cholera • MRSA (Methicillin Resistant

It is primarily based on laboratory reports forward to CDSC (NI) and information supplied by Consultants in Communicable Disease Control. This is a more detailed annual summary than in previous years and replaces our annual report. The data for 2003 should be regarded as provisional to allow for late reporting of results and further typing of organisms. CDSC (NI) is extremely grateful to colleagues in Trusts and Boards for providing timely data and information on a wide range of infections and communicable disease issues.
