  1. They're back:Old diseases, new again François Boucher MD, FRCPC

  2. The Evolution and Eradication of Infectious Diseases T. Aidan Cockburn, a widely respected physician and anthropologist: “We can look forward with confidence to a considerable degree of freedom from infectious diseases at a time not too far in the future. Indeed . . . it seems reasonable to anticipate that within some measurable time . . . all the major infections will have disappeared.” Cockburn, T. A. (1963). The evolution and eradication of infectious diseases. Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins Press.

  3. Infectious disease spread and containment is again a major public health issue worldwide, due to such factors as: • International travel; • Climate change; • Drug-resistant pathogens; • Entirely new diseases; • …vaccine refusal… Infectious disease is the No. 2 cause of death worldwide (after cardiovascular disease), and the No. 1 cause of death in persons age 50 and under

  4. Objectives After this presentation, participants will be able to: • Identify re-emerging infectious diseases and at-risk populations. • Diagnose, and report infectious diseases to public health. • Communicate with families on the management of close contacts.

  5. …New again? • Measles • Pertussis • Cellulitis and pneumonia: MRSA • Invasive GAS infections • Invasive Hib infections • Meningococcemia • Tuberculosis • …etc

  6. Physician’s role in the control of contagious diseases • Complete the appropriate diagnostic procedures • Manage the patient’s condition • Ensure proper isolation measures • Report to Public Health authorities • Provide immediate contacts with appropriate prophylaxis if required • Usually: direct home contacts

  7. Public Health role in the control of contagious diseases • Reporting & keeping count… • Epidemiologic surveillance • Supporting physician responsible for the patient • Accurate diagnostic definition • Outbreak investigation • Provide necessary preventative measures if required

  8. Bacterial meningitis

  9. Etiologie de la méningite bactérienne aigue – USA 1998-2007 Thigpen MC et al. NEJM 2011; 364:2016-25

  10. Hib meningitis & invasive disease:Clinical presentation • Meningitis: Also H. influenzae types a, e, f • Epiglottitis • Septic arthritis • Cellulitis (usually involving the face, head or neck) • Pneumonia • Osteomyelitis and pericarditis are less common forms of invasive disease AAP Red Book 2009

  11. Hib meningitis & invasive disease:Definition of close contact • People residing with the index patient • Nonresidents who spent four or more hours with the index case for at least five of the seven days preceding the day of hospital admission of the index case AAP Red Book 2009

  12. Hib meningitis & invasive disease:Management of contacts • Chemoprophylaxis is recommended for all household and child care centre contacts in the following circumstances: • Household with at least one contact younger than four years of age who is unimmunized or incompletely immunized • Household with an immunocompromized child, regardless of that child's immunization status. Manitoba Communicable Disease Control Branch. October 2007 AAP Red Book 2009

  13. Hib meningitis & invasive disease:Management of contacts • Chemoprophylaxis is recommended for all household and child care centre contacts in the following circumstances: • Nursery school or child care centre when one case of Hib invasive disease has occurred, for incompletely or unimmunized children younger than four years of age only; • Nursery school or child care centre, regardless of age and immunization status, when two or more cases of Hib invasive disease have occurred within 60 days Manitoba Communicable Disease Control Branch. October 2007 AAP Red Book 2009

  14. Hib meningitis & invasive disease:Management of contacts • Chemoprophylaxis is also recommended for: • The case, if younger than 2 years of age or a member of a household with a susceptible contact, and who had been treated with a regimen other than cefotaxime sodium or ceftriaxone sodium. Chemoprophylaxis usually is provided just before discharge from hospital Manitoba Communicable Disease Control Branch. October 2007 BC CDC. September 2005 AAP Red Book 2009

  15. Hib meningitis & invasive disease:Antibiotic prophylaxis Rifampin dosage • Adults: 600 mg orally once daily for four days • Children: 20 mg/kg (maximum 600 mg) orally once daily for four days • Infants younger than one month: 10 mg/kg orally once daily for four days • Rifampin should be given to contacts within seven days after the index patient is hospitalized in order to be effective in preventing secondary cases AAP Red Book 2009

  16. Hib meningitis & invasive disease:Management of contacts • Chemoprophylaxis of contacts is not routinely recommended for the other serotypes of H. influenzae • Children who have not been appropriately immunized for age should receive any required immunizations. • Post-exposure Hib immunization is not known to decrease the risk of transmission. Rather, the situation presents an opportunity for completion of Hib immunization of contacts. Manitoba Communicable Disease Control Branch. October 2007 BC CDC. September 2005 AAP Red Book 2009

  17. Hib meningitis & invasive disease:Management of contacts • Chemoprophylaxis is not recommended for: • Household contacts of index cases of invasive Hib infection when the contacts are completely immunized against Hib • Nursery school and child care contacts of one index case, especially those older than two years of age. • Pregnant women as safety has not been determined. Manitoba Communicable Disease Control Branch. October 2007 AAP Red Book 2009

  18. Invasive meningococcal disease

  19. Invasive meningococcal diseaseCase definition • Confirmed case • Invasive disease with laboratory confirmation of infection: • isolation of N. meningitidis from a normally sterile site (blood, CSF, joint, pleural or pericardial fluid); OR • demonstration of N. meningitidis DNA by appropriately validated nucleic acid test (NAT) from a normally sterile site. Supplement: Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Meningococcal Disease. CCDR 2005;3151.

  20. Invasive meningococcal diseaseCase definition • Probable case • Invasive disease with purpura fulminans or petechiae and no other apparent cause: • with demonstration of N. meningitidis antigen in theCSF;OR • in the absence of isolation of N. meningitidis or demonstration of DNA by appropriately validated NAT from a normally sterile site. Supplement: Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Meningococcal Disease. CCDR 2005;3151.

  21. Invasive meningococcal diseaseDefinition of close contact: Group 1 Ongoing exposure… • Household contacts of a case (the attack rate for household contacts is 500 to 800 times the rate for the general population) • Persons who share sleeping arrangements with the case • Persons who have direct contamination of their nose or mouth with the oral/nasal secretions of a case (e.g. kissing on themouth, shared cigarettes, shared drinking bottles) • Children and staff in child care and nursery school facilities Supplement: Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Meningococcal Disease. CCDR 2005;3151 AAP Red Book 2009

  22. Invasive meningococcal diseaseDefinition of close contact: Group 2 • Transient exposure… • Health care workers (HCWs) who have had intensive unprotected contact (withoutwearing amask) with infected patients (e.g. intubating, resuscitating or closely examining the oropharynx) • Airline passengers sitting immediately on either side of the case (but not across the aisle)when the total time spent aboard the aircraft was at least 8 hours Supplement: Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Meningococcal Disease. CCDR 2005;3151.

  23. Invasive meningococcal diseaseAntibiotic prophylaxis Supplement: Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Meningococcal Disease. CCDR 2005;3151.

  24. Invasive meningococcal diseaseAntibiotic prophylaxis • Chemoprophylaxis should be administered as soon as possible and preferably within 24 hours of case identification, but is still recommended for up to 10 days after the last contact with an infectious case • Close contacts should be alerted to the signs and symptoms of meningococcal disease and be advised to seek medical attention immediately should they develop febrile illness or any other clinical presentation consistent with IMD Supplement: Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Meningococcal Disease. CCDR 2005;3151.

  25. Invasive meningococcal diseaseImmunization of close contacts • Vaccination is not generally indicated for contacts of cases of disease in which the serogroup has not been determined. • Group 1 contacts: Immunoprophylaxis should be considered when the case’s serotype is known and vaccine preventable and the contact has not previously been immunized against that serotype. When indicated, immunoprophylaxis should be carried out as soon as possible after the exposure • For group 2 contacts: Chemoprophylaxis is recommended. Immunoprophylaxis is not recommended as there will not be ongoing exposure to the case Manitoba Communicable Disease Control Branch. June 2011

  26. Group A streptococcalinvasive disease

  27. GAS invasive disease:prevention of secondary cases • Ontario Group A Streptococcal Study: Attack rate among household contacts: 2.94 per 1,000 • US Active Bacterial Core Surveillance (ABCs)/Emerging Infections Program network: 0.66 per 1,000 • Limitations: • Household contacts and attending physicians were not asked about use of chemoprophylaxis; • These attack rates are based on extremely small numbers of subsequent cases and therefore may be unstable Supplement: Guidelines for the Prevention and Control Of Invasive GAS Disease. CCDR 2006;3252.

  28. GAS invasive disease:prevention of secondary cases • Approximately 300 close contacts of an invasive GAS case would need to receive chemoprophylaxis to prevent one secondary case; • There would be an average of 10 contacts per case; • Retail cost of $30 per person for antibiotics; • Approximately 3 hours of public health nurse follow-up time per case, at $50 per hour; • The cost-effectiveness has been estimated to be $13,500 CAD in direct health care costs per secondary case prevented. Supplement: Guidelines for the Prevention and Control Of Invasive GAS Disease. CCDR 2006;3252.

  29. GAS invasive disease:prevention of secondary cases • Chemoprophylaxis is indicated only for contacts at the highest risk of acquisition of the organism and of subsequent severe disease Supplement: Guidelines for the Prevention and Control Of Invasive GAS Disease. CCDR 2006;3252.

  30. GAS invasive disease:prevention of secondary cases • Chemoprophylaxis should only be offered • To close contacts of a confirmed severe case, that is, a case of STSS, soft-tissue necrosis (including NF,myositisorgangrene),meningitis, GAS pneumonia, other life-threatening conditions or a confirmed case resulting in death; AND • If close contacts have been exposed to the case during the period from 7 days prior to onset of symptoms in the case to 24 hours after the case's initiation of antimicrobial therapy Supplement: Guidelines for the Prevention and Control Of Invasive GAS Disease. CCDR 2006;3252.

  31. GAS invasive disease:prevention of secondary cases • Chemoprophylaxis of close contacts should be administered as soon as possible and preferably within 24 hours of case identification but is still recommended for up to 7 days after the last contact with an infectious case. • Close contacts of all confirmed cases (i.e. regardless of whether the case is a severe one) should be alerted to signs and symptoms of invasive GAS disease and be advised to seek medical attention immediately should they develop febrile illness or any other clinical manifestations of GAS infection within 30 days of diagnosis in the index case. Supplement: Guidelines for the Prevention and Control Of Invasive GAS Disease. CCDR 2006;3252.
