Forty households were chosen for the study and randomly divided into two groups, each with approximately 240 inhabitants aged < or = 15 years. One group received deltamethrin impregnated bednets and the other group had no nets (control). For the months of April, June and August (rainy season), deltamethrin impregnated bednets did not reduce malaria prevalence significantly, but the overall malaria prevalence for all months of the study was significantly reduced (chi 2 MH = 9.17, P = 0.002). Enlarged spleen rates (chi 2 MH = 6.73, P = 0.009) and spleen sizes (P = 0.0002) were also significantly reduced by the nets. However, the reduction in the geometric mean parasite density (GMPD) was not significant. Even though some of these reductions were statistically significant, they were relatively low in a global context compared with previous work done mainly in rural areas. In an urban environment, parents and children usually stay up late, and probably receive many mosquito bites before going to sleep.","PeriodicalId":76688,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of tropical medicine and hygiene","volume":"98 5","pages":"319-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18570432","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}

{"title":"Urban to rural routes of HIV infection spread in Ethiopia.","authors":"I Shabbir, C P Larson","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"A descriptive survey to identify routes of spread of HIV infection from urban to rural populations was carried out in a rural south-central Ethiopian district. High risk practices for HIV infection and transmission were first documented among rural residing former soldiers, merchants and students. Extramarital intercourse during the previous 3 months was reported by 45-50% of these subgroups. In 25-37%, intercourse with an urban commercial sex worker (CSW) was reported and condom use varied from 10 to 30% among subgroups. The perceived risk for AIDS was low and changes in risk behaviours were minimal. Next, 502 rural males farmers were surveyed. An extramarital sexual contact in the past 3 months was reported by 13.5%, with 7% reporting their most recent contact with an urban CSW. Only 6% of farmers reported using condoms. Awareness of AIDS was reported by 59% and, of these, only 28% perceived they were vulnerable. In this study increased knowledge was associated with more frequent high risk sexual practices. It is concluded that the spread of AIDS into rural communities is occurring as a result of the high frequency of high risk sexual behaviours in specific rural residing subgroups which frequently travel into urban communities in combination with a low background prevalence of high risk practices among the general male farmer population.","PeriodicalId":76688,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of tropical medicine and hygiene","volume":"98 5","pages":"338-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18570436","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}

Anti-HAV was present in 99.3% of the people surveyed. The prevalence of anti-HAV reached 100% in the < 25 age group and was as high or only slightly lower in all other age groups. The prevalence of HBsAg was 0.3% and of anti-HBc 7.7%. Anti-HCV was found in 0.1% of the residents. No significant difference by gender or village was noted in the prevalence of anti-HAV, HBsAg, anti-HBc, or anti-HCV. No anti-HTLV-I-positive persons were identified. These data suggest that the prevalence of hepatitis B and C virus infections in Nepal is low in contrast to hepatitis A virus infection, and that human T-lymphotropic type-I infection may be absent in this population.","PeriodicalId":76688,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of tropical medicine and hygiene","volume":"98 5","pages":"347-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18568271","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}

{"title":"Takayasu's arteritis in Kuwait.","authors":"K el-Reshaid, J Varro, Q al-Duwairi, J T Anim","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The present study describes the epidemiological profile and clinical features of Takayasu's arteritis (TA) in Kuwait, as well as its association with other autoimmune diseases and primary hypercoagulable states. Thirteen patients were included from its start on 1 January 1989 till 30 June 1994. Diagnosis of TA was established by angiographic studies. Twelve patients were Arabs and 7 were Kuwaiti nationals. Five patients were males and renal disease secondary to isolated involvement of the abdominal aorta (TA, type II) was the main presentation in 4 patients. Coagulation tests were performed in 7 patients and included antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) assay as well as protein S, protein C and antithrombin III activity. Only one manifested recurrent thrombosis and laboratory tests confirmed the presence of a hypercoagulable state secondary to aPL and protein S deficiency. Serological tests of systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) were positive in this patient. These data indicate that TA is not a rare disease in the Arabic population. In our study, female predominance was not a common feature of TA and renal disease secondary to TA type II disease was commonly encountered. The association of TA with SLE and primary hypercoagulable states was not a consistent finding in our patients with TA, and hence, the proposed role for thrombotic vasculopathy in the pathogenesis and progression of this disease was unfounded.","PeriodicalId":76688,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of tropical medicine and hygiene","volume":"98 5","pages":"299-305"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18569663","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}
