The study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of Human Cytomegalovirus among women of child-bearing age attending selected hospitals in Kaduna State, Nigeria. A total of 228 blood samples were obtained from the women and processed serologically using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). In addition, structured questionnaire was used to determine socio-demographic and risk factors associated with Human Cytomegalovirus infection. Out of the 228 women, 215 (94.3%) were positive for anti-CMV IgM. The highest seroprevalence was observed among women belonging to age group 15-24 (98.8%), those with secondary level of education (98%), those living in the urban areas (95%), the civil servants (100%), the married (94.2%) and those of medium socioeconomic status (94.9%). A statistical significant difference was observed between the age groups only (p = 0.000). With respect to risk factors, female patients; with no sex partners (100%), with history of blood transfusion (96.7%), who do not wash their hands with soap after changing baby’s diaper (95.5%), who wash their hands after contact with children’s urine (94.7%) and those in close contact with children had highest seroprevalence (94.4%). No statistical significant association was observed between Human Cytomegalovirus infection and the risk factors considered. Female patients should be educated on the transmission routes as well as preventive measures of Human cytomegalovirus infections.","PeriodicalId":93465,"journal":{"name":"Journal of infectious diseases and epidemiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140412325","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":"Risk of Neutropenia with the Use of Ceftaroline: A Review","authors":"Qasmieh Samah, Ataessien Joelle, House Monique, Zegar Shakib, Brown Tuiana, Davidson Ryan","doi":"10.23937/2474-3658/1510305","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23937/2474-3658/1510305","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: Ceftaroline is a fifth-generation cephalosporin with activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is a clinically distinct feature for a member of this class. Cephalosporins have previously been associated with neutropenia, a serious hematologic condition with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) falling below 1500-1800 cells/µL. Since its FDA approval in 2010, ceftaroline has been associated with neutropenia in several studies. In this review, our aim is to examine these reports and evaluate their findings. Data sources: A systematic search was conducted using PubMED, Embase, and Web of Science databases. Keywords utilized in the search were “ceftaroline, or Teflaro, or Zinforo” and “neutropenia.” Study selection: Case reports, case series, observational, and experimental studies in the English language of human participants were included. For inclusion, neutropenia was defined as an ANC of no more than 1800 cells/µL. Studies reporting concurrent exposure to chemotherapy were excluded. Data extraction/synthesis: Search results produced eight published articles that underwent review by the authors. Two case studies and six observational studies highlighted a common theme and outcome: Extended use of ceftaroline with exposure greater than two consecutive weeks is associated with an increased risk of neutropenia. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first review to explore the risk of neutropenia with ceftaroline use. Despite the limited amount of relevant published research, existing results suggest a potential association. Large well-designed observational studies are needed to delineate the impact and implications of this serious adverse event.","PeriodicalId":93465,"journal":{"name":"Journal of infectious diseases and epidemiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48227320","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}
