1 Epidemiology Update 2016 Christine Hahn, MD Idaho Division of Public Health
2 Topics Ebola and Zika efforts and update Outbreaks/diseases/trends of interest New public health activities in 2016 Drug overdose prevention funding Syndromic surveillance using data from Idaho hospitals Healthcare-associated infections program Susan Heppler Immunization Progress and challenges in child immunization rates Increasing focus on adult immunization Immunization recommendations changes in /28/2016 2
3 Ebola Clinical Update No specific enhanced screening is required for travelers from Guinea, Sierra Leone, or Liberia. Travelers returning from West Africa should be treated similarly to any other patients who have recently traveled internationally. Travel history should remain part of routine patient evaluation, including during entry to the facility. Source: 10/28/2016 3
4 Ebola Survivor Follow-up Implementation of a National Semen Testing and Counseling Program for Male Ebola Survivors Liberia, MMWR Weekly / September 16, 2016 / 65(36); Liberian Ministry of Health, CDC, WHO and partners Testing and counseling for male survivors All male Ebola survivors aged 15 years with proof of survivorship (e.g., a discharge certificate from an ETU) are eligible Participants graduate from the program after receiving two consecutive negative Ebola virus RNA rrt-pcr results on semen specimens collected at least 1 week apart Source: 10/28/2016 4
5 Ebola: survivor follow-up Prevention of sexual transmission of Ebola in Liberia through a national semen testing and counselling programme for survivors. Lancet Global Health Vol 4 (10), Oct EVD survivors in program; rt RT-PCR results were available from 429 participants. 38 participants (9%) had at least one semen specimen that tested positive for Ebola virus RNA. Of these, 63% tested positive 12 months or longer after recovery. Longest interval between discharge from an ETU and collection of a positive semen sample was 565 days. Men >40 years more likely to test positive than men aged 40 years 84 (74%) of 113 participants who reported not using a condom at enrolment reported using condoms at their first follow-up visit 10/28/2016 5
6 Zika recommendations for HCW Follow Standard Precautions for all patient care ( Be aware of the requirement for Standard Precautions to be used for labor and delivery care ( Internal and external hospital websites should include a link to website ( Appropriate healthcare staff should report suspected cases to state or local health departments Report all pregnant women with laboratory evidence of possible Zika virus infection, with or without symptoms, as well as infants born to these women, to state, or local health department for consideration of enrollment in the US Zika Pregnancy Registry 10/28/2016 6

14 What happened to FluMist? Trivalent formulation licensed trial: 55% more effecitve than injectable vaccine season: more effective in kids than injectable vaccine season: no effectiveness in children age 2-8 against H1N1 Aug 2014: FluMist preferentially recommended for children : preferential recommendation rescinded : all flu vaccines perform poorly : FluMist effectiveness only 3% in U.S. but injectables work well Why? Unknown Maybe adding 4 th component; Maybe using same strain (2009 pandemic strain) over and over yields decreasing response 10/28/
15 Match looking pretty good so far 133 viruses characterized from May 22-Sep 30: A A (H1N1)pdm09 [8]: All 8 (100%) influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 viruses were A/California/7/2009-like, the influenza A (H1N1) component of the vaccine Note: will be changing! B A (H3N2) [62]: 50 (80.1%) of 62 influenza A (H3N2) viruses were antigenically characterized as A/Hong Kong/4801/2014-like, similar to the influenza A (H3N2) component of the vaccine. Victoria Lineage: All 30 (100%) B/Victoria-lineage viruses were antigenically characterized as B/Brisbane/60/2008-like, which matches vaccine. Yamagata Lineage: All 33 (100%) B/Yamagata-lineage viruses were antigenically characterized as B/Phuket/3073/2013-like, which matches vaccine. 10/28/
16 Resistance pattern so far Majority of recently circulating influenza viruses are susceptible to the neuraminidase inhibitors (oseltamivir, zanamivir, and peramivir) Rare sporadic instances of oseltamivir-resistant and peramivir-resistant influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 viruses and oseltamivir-resistant influenza A (H3N2) viruses have been detected worldwide. 10/28/

22 Syphilis Update Syphilis continues to be a concern. In 2015 and 2016, 113 cases have been identified related to an ongoing local outbreak. Men who have sex with men (MSM) have been the highest risk group, although methamphetamine or other drug use and incarceration in the past year have been risk factors among recent male and female cases. Gonorrhea Update Since 2014, gonorrhea rates have been increasing throughout the Pacific Northwest. Between January and June 2016, 150 cases of gonorrhea were reported to CDHD. In comparison, just 17 cases were reported during the same timeframe in Testing Common anatomical sites of infection include the cervix, urethra, rectum, and pharynx. CDHD urges providers to take a comprehensive sexual history to determine risk and perform testing on all potential sites of exposure. Testing Approximately half of the syphilis infections reported to CDHD in 2016 resulted from routine screening. Screening is recommended for asymptomatic adults and adolescents at risk of infection. MSM and persons living with HIV may benefit screening every three months. Please consider syphilis if a patient presents with: Any ano/genital or oral lesion, especially indurated and minimally painful ulcers Any unexplained rash, especially with palmar or plantar involvement Unexplained lymphadenopathy Unexplained ocular disease (i.e., uveitis, panuveitis, diminished visual acuity, blindness, optic neuropathy, interstitial keratitis, anterior uveitis, retinal vasculitis) Testing for syphilis should include both nontreponemal (e.g., RPR or VDRL with titer) and treponemal (e.g., TPPA, FTA-Abs, EIA, CIA) methods. Treatment and Prevention Due to antibiotic resistance concerns, dual antibiotic therapy continues to be recommended. For uncomplicated infections of the cervix, urethra, rectum, and pharynx the recommended regimen remains: Ceftriaxone 250mg IM in a single dose PLUS Azithromycin 1g orally in a single dose. Treatment and Prevention Consider presumptive treatment if a patient is symptomatic, is a contact to a syphilis case, belongs to a high-risk group, or if follow-up is uncertain. Use single dose benzathine penicillin G (e.g., Bicillin-LA), 2.4 million units IM as first-line therapy. Considerations for Pregnant Women Recent sex partners (i.e., within 60 days preceding onset of symptoms or diagnosis) should receive Providers should continue to screen all women serologically for syphilis early in pregnancy, presumptive dual treatment with Ceftriaxone 250mg preferably at the first pregnancy-related visit. Additional serological testing should be IM in a single dose plus Azithromycin 1g orally in a performed at weeks gestation and again at delivery if a woman reports having single dose in addition to evaluation and testing. multiple sex partners, has been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection or has a sex partner diagnosed with syphilis. Any woman who has a fetal death after 20 weeks gestation 10/28/2016 should be tested for syphilis, even if screening was performed early in pregnancy. 22
