4 STATE AND REGIONAL HIGHLIGHTS NORTHEAST REGION
5 State and Regional Highlights Salmonella Clusters Multi state : NJDOH in coordination with CDC and other State health departments is currently investigating several multi state Salmonella clusters (Newport, Javiana & Typhimurium). Newport NJ has 18 cases with matching PFGE pattern. No cases in the Northeast (09/29/2014). Javiana NJ has 6 cases with matching PFGE pattern. No cases in the Northeast (09/29/2014). Typhimurium NJ has 4 cases with matching PFGE pattern. No cases in the Northeast (09/29/2014). In State : Salmonella Norwich (rare serotype) currently under investigation. Most cases are in the Southern region (4/5). The State is working with impacted counties to re interview cases and identify common exposures.
6 State and Regional Highlights Enterovirus D68 (EV D68) National: In August 2014, hospital officials in Midwest notified CDC of an increase in severe respiratory illness among children seen in the emergency rooms and admitted to the hospitals. Specimens initially tested positive for Rhinovirus and Enterovirus. CDC did further testing and identified Enterovirus D68 (EV D68). Regional/State: Overall there has been an increase in reporting in the Region and specimens meeting testing criteria are being sent to CDC for identification. As of 09/30/2014, of the results received from CDC, one sample in the region has tested positive for EVD68.

17 INVESTIGATION OF INTEREST
18 Investigation of Interest Coxsackie A6 (CVA6) August 27, 2014: Call from a resident wanting to send a sample to CDC for Coxsackie A6 nuclear sequencing by PCR. Background on Coxsackie virus infections: Coxsackie virus most frequently causes Hand, foot, and mouth disease and Coxsackie A16 is the most commonly implicated strain in the United States. It usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years of age who generally present with fever, blister like sores in the mouth, and a skin rash. HFMD can also be caused by other viruses from the Enterovirus group. Coxsackie virus A6 : Relatively new, was identified in Scandinavia in 2008 and was first reported in the US in Nov More severe rash often extending to the trunk.
19 Investigation of Interest Investigation: An inpatient 65y/o male, symptom onset 10 days prior(8/18/2014). S/S: Fever, chills, blisters on the palm of hands and soles of his feet, scalp, face, back of his neck as well his abdominal area. Testing NJDOH approved the sample for testing on 08/28/2014 and the necessary paperwork was requested to be completed before submission to the CDC. Brief mention about a Coxsackie outbreak at the patients grandson s daycare.
20 Investigation of Interest Outbreak Unreported outbreak of Coxsackie at the daycare. Symptom onset 08/04/2014 (?), first confirmed case on 08/08/2014. Cases seen until 08/22/2014. Outbreak described as atypical and severe. The outbreak was longer (average 7 days as compared to other outbreaks that lasted an average of 2 3 days). 2 students presented with rash on the trunk and torso, and one staff member had had 2 prior Coxsackie infections. The patients grandson was also symptomatic and was diagnosed with Coxsackie during this time.
21 Investigation of Interest Conclusion Test results from CDC identified this to be CVA6. Unable to link the Daycare outbreak to the CVA6 strain due to lapse in reporting. What worked well Judicious physician noting the atypical presentation. Seamless work by all involved in identifying the case and following up on the outbreak. Kudos to the LHD and the NW and CE Regional Epidemiologists for their astute investigation and response.
