Between April 2014 and March 2019, we attempted to detect HAdVs in 9,483 specimens (fecal, throat swab, urine, and conjunctival swab) collected from patients with suspected viral infection. A total of 220 HAdV-C isolates were obtained and serotyped by neutralization test (NT). Of these, 62 HAdV-C strains (HAdV-C1: 15, -C2: 19, -C5: 22, -C6: 6) were genotyped by sequencing for the three regions, penton base, hexon, and fiber regions, respectively. All 62 strains were grouped into the same genotype as serotype for the hexon and fiber region. In contrast, phylogenetic analysis showed 6 of the 22 strains with serotype HAdV-C5 were grouped into HAdV-C89 for the penton base region.

The strains of C. perfringens were isolated from samples of curry consumed by all the affected patients and from the feces of patients and staff worker. The enterotoxin gene (cpe) was detected in isolates from patients and curry samples. The cpe-negative isolates were found in patients who had consumed curry and in the staff worker. The results of the SNP analysis suggested that the patient and curry isolates were likely from the same source but were unlikely to be related to the staff isolates. The results of SNP and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analyses were consistent, indicating that the patient and curry isolates originated from the same source.

One E. albertii isolate from a contact person, seven isolates from poultry, and six isolates from the environment were recovered.

Here, we describe the epidemiological trends of cases of RSV infection among children reported during 2018-2021 in Japan based on the national surveillance system. Compared with 2018 and 2019, 2020 saw an unprecedented decrease in notifications of RSV infection per sentinel site. However, 2021 experienced an unseasonably early and high peak at week 28 (peak week in 2018 and 2019 was week 37), with a large resurgence in notifications nationwide and across regions. Regarding age, compared with 2018 and 2019, the number and proportion of case-patients aged 2, 3, and ≥4-years increased substantially in 2021, but the number of case-patients aged <1 year decreased slightly. Furthermore, in 2021, the ratio of notifications per site from outpatient clinics to notifications per site from hospitals increased, suggesting a proportionate increase in diagnoses of clinically milder cases. Notably, RSV-attributed deaths from vital statistics also dropped substantially in 2020 and rebounded in 2021 but were fewer than in 2018 or 2019. While the incidence of RSV infections likely declined in 2020 (possibly owing to COVID-19 countermeasures) and increased in 2021, notifications in 2021 appeared to be associated with milder presentations. Given the unpredictable epidemiology of RSV, continuous monitoring and pluralistic assessments are imperative.","PeriodicalId":14608,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of infectious diseases","volume":" ","pages":"51-54"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142346834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
