Of the 46 patients in Group 1 (37 male), 16 had hepatocellular carcinoma, 10 had uncomplicated cirrhosis, and 20 had a clinical history of chronic viral hepatitis of more than 6 months' duration. Total hepatitis B virus marker positivity was 82.6%, significantly higher than in Group 2 patients (P < 0.001). Thirty-six per cent were hepatitis B surface antigen positive, 66% were hepatitis Be antigen positive and 45.3% were positive for hepatitis C virus antibody. Taking only the 16 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatitis B surface antigen positivity was 38%, hepatitis Be antigen 66% and positivity to hepatitis C virus antibody was 56%. The 8 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in Group 2 were all male and aged between 45 and 56 years. Of these, 3 (38%) cases were positive for hepatitis B surface antibody and none was positive for hepatitis B surface antigen or antibody to hepatitis C virus (3 cases tested).

Treatment with DEC was for 14 days (day 1, 1 mg kg-1 body weight, day 2, 2 mg kg-1 body weight and from day 3 onwards 6 mg kg-1 body weight) followed by one dose (6 mg kg-1 body weight) on days 360, 540 and at the end of years 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7. After a 2-year follow-up the patients were divided into two groups. Group A consisted of cases that showed no reappearance of microfilariae (mf) and Group B of those cases that showed reappearance of mf. Further follow-up in the next 5 years showed that none of the cases in Group A were positive for mf at any time. In contrast, mf were detected in Group B in 14, 15, 27 and 33% of the cases followed at the end of years 3, 4, 6 and 7 respectively. Both groups showed a decrease in filarial IgG antibody and mf excretory-secretory antigen levels in the initial 4 years followed by increased levels at the end of years 6 and 7. The reappearance of filarial antibody and antigen in 50-70% of Group A and 68-100% of Group B at the end of year 7 suggests the existence of active infection in these cases. No cases followed in this study developed clinical symptoms. This study shows that long-term DEC therapy and immunomonitoring of mf patients is essential in an endemic area for arresting transmission and prevention of pathology associated with clinical manifestations.","PeriodicalId":76688,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of tropical medicine and hygiene","volume":"98 1","pages":"52-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18858945","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}

Through mass treatment and sandfly control, the prevalence rate was brought down to 3 per 100,000 in 1958 and the disease was basically eliminated. Since 1972, only 18 residual patients have been detected and no newly infected cases have appeared. In the meantime, the vector density had been reduced to such a low level that sandflies could not be found in 85% of the villages. For further evaluation of the control measures, an immunological survey on a relatively large scale was conducted in 78 townships located in 24 counties of 13 prefectures and cities in 1990. A total of 10,239 rural residents of different ages had the Leishmanin dermal test (LDT). None of the people under 30 years of age was positive (0/8020), while in those aged above 30, the average positive rate was 4.4% (98/2219). During the survey, blood samples were also taken from 4232 people for indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT); results were all negative. This indicates that the transmission of KA had been completely interrupted since the early 1960s and the province is now a non-endemic area of KA. Further analyses of the data showed that LDT is of great value in epidemiological investigation of KA, for the evaluation of control measurements, the ascertainment of the past and present status of the disease, and detection of subclinical infection.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)","PeriodicalId":76688,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of tropical medicine and hygiene","volume":"97 6","pages":"357-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18962152","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 National Impregnated Bednet Programme in The Gambia faced the question of how to obtain funds from villages to finance the cost of insecticide, but knew very little about current village fundraising for development purposes. A survey was conducted of such fundraising, and questions also asked about willingness to pay for insecticide and preferred means of paying. All 53 villages surveyed paid taxes/rates, but 34% of villages reported no voluntary fundraising. The most common reason for collecting money was for the maintenance of wells (40% of villages). Collective farming was used as a means of raising money in 32% of villages. There was some variation in the type and extent of fundraising by region and also by the predominant ethnic groups of the village. Villages with voluntary fundraising activities seemed to have well established collective mechanisms for agreeing on sums to be collected and their use, and for collecting and recording income and expenditure. Non-payment was rare, and misuse of funds was not reported. Respondents were asked how much compounds might be willing to pay for insecticide impregnantion: the most frequently cited maximum amounts were D5 and 10, and minimum D1 and 5 (D15 = 1 pound). The paper discusses payment options for insecticide, such as whether the village should be allowed to decide itself how to raise funds, and whether the payment should be made only by households with nets or by a village-wide mechanism such as collective farming.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)","PeriodicalId":76688,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of tropical medicine and hygiene","volume":"97 6","pages":"325-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18962239","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}
