Brugia timori infections are similar, are confined to Timor and nearby (Indonesian) islands, and transmitted by Anopheles barbinostris, which also carries malaria. • Loiasis (loa loa) is caused by the nematode Loa loa (African eye worm), is transmitted by Chrysops (red or deer) flies, and occurs in West and Central Africa. • Onchocerciasis (river blindness) is caused by the nematode Onchocerca volvulus, and is transmitted by Simulium blackflies. Onchocerciasis occurs primarily in Africa, South and Central America, and the Middle East. The vectors breed only in swiftly moving water, hence endemic areas are confined to such locales.","PeriodicalId":50020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners","volume":"13 1","pages":"391-394"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/J.1745-7599.2001.TB00056.X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63360272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors include a statement of the importance of clinical judgement in the application of the recommendations and the recognition that other treatment approaches may be appropriate. The panel of authors includes physicians of various specialties, an ambulatory care nurse, and a medical education specialist. While the specialties of general and family medicine, OB/GYN, and infectious medicine are represented, there is no urologist or nephrologist listed on the panel. The CPG includes a brief annotated bibliography, summarizing six of the articles considered in the guideline's development. There is no further extended list of references included in the content. The CPG is limited to the treatment of adult women, although there is no specific age cited at which the guideline would begin to apply. It provides the reader with ideas for not only managing women who present to the clinic with symptoms consistent with a UTI, but also ideas for not only managing women who patient self-treatment strategies to minimize the cost associated with recurrent infections.
