On Sunday, 23 May 2021, 4.6 million doses of novel oral polio vaccine type 2 (nOPV2) arrived in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. These vaccines will be used for a nationwide poliomyelitis (polio) immunization campaign planned for May to July 2021 in response to the ongoing outbreak. During the campaign, almost 1.4 million children under the age of 6 will be targeted to receive the vaccine to strengthen protection against type 2 poliovirus. The response activities are led by the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population of Tajikistan and supported by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), WHO and other partners within the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI). Detailed preparations for the campaign included capacity-building on vaccine management, vaccine safety and social mobilization, and planning for the monitoring and evaluation of the upcoming 2 rounds of vaccination. In addition to fixed vaccination points at health facilities, mobile teams will be opera...

SARS-CoV-2 is the virus responsible for COVID-19. Individuals with COVID-19 may report a range of symptoms, which continues to grow as experts learn more about the illness. While it is not a common symptom, acquiring an infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus may lead to a person developing infective conjunctivitis, known as pink eye. A 2020 study notes that in 216 children with COVID-19, the researchers identified roughly 23% with symptoms of conjunctivitis. However, in adults, this seems to be less common, with evidence suggesting that pink eye can occur in approximately 1–3% of adults with the disease. This may indicate that while pink eye is an uncommon symptom, it is more likely to occur in children with COVID-19. Aside from pink eye, COVID-19 may also result in other eye problems, which could lead to various symptoms, such as vision loss or eye pain. In this article, we will discuss the possible associations between eye problems and COVID-19. We also explore how people ca...

CLOSE Don't let mosquitoes ruin your nights. Keep bugs away with these tips. USA TODAY Every summer, health officials warn Americans to be on the lookout for disease-carrying pests such as mosquitoes and ticks. But few people are aware of the kissing bug. Triatomine bugs, commonly known as kissing bugs, are vectors for a dangerous parasite that can cause a debilitating illness   in humans called Chagas disease. If left untreated, theinfectious disease can become lifelong and painful, and in some cases lead to death.  The key is early treatment, but many Americans living with the disease are unaware they have it, and a recent study suggests doctors are underdiagnosing it.   "It's such a neglected disease," said Melissa Nolan, assistant professor at the University of South Carolina and lead author of the study published this week in Emerging Infectious Diseases, a peer-reviewed journal by the Centers for Disease Control and Pr...

Shingles forms a rash or a collection of blisters on your skin due to a viral infection. While a shingles outbreak usually appears as a band across one side of your torso, it can appear anywhere on your body, including your leg and groin. A 2011 case report noted that your trunk and face are the most common locations for an outbreak, while cases of penile shingles are rare, but can still occur. Wherever it forms, shingles can also be quite painful or itchy. Treatment with antiviral drugs can usually clear up shingles within a couple of weeks. There are also topical treatments and home remedies that can ease symptoms while the virus disappears. Because a shingles outbreak has a distinctive appearance, you should be able to distinguish it from other rashes that may stem from allergies, for example. The most effective way to prevent shingles is with a vaccine. The varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox, is responsible for shingles. If you've had chickenpo...

Polio does still exist, although polio cases have decreased by over 99% since 1988, from an estimated more than 350 000 cases to 22 reported cases in 2017. This reduction is the result of the global effort to eradicate the disease. Today, only 2 countries in the world have never stopped transmission of polio (Pakistan and Afghanistan). Despite the progress achieved since 1988, as long as a single child remains infected with poliovirus, children in all countries are at risk of contracting the disease. The poliovirus can easily be imported into a polio-free country and can spread rapidly amongst unimmunized populations. Failure to eradicate polio could result in as many as 200 000 new cases every year, within 10 years, all over the world. There is no cure for polio, it can only be prevented. Polio vaccine, given multiple times, can protect a child for life. Key landmarks for polio Global Polio Eradication Initiative

Getting old? Stinks. On ice. Last week I had night call and then on-call this weekend. And I am pooped. I have nowhere near the stamina I did even last year. And time off does not energize me for work; it only makes me want more time off. My big mistake was marrying a younger woman. She is not Medicare eligible until 2024, so I am working for healthcare for the next several years. I so hope Biden lowers the age of eligibility to 60. If so? As much as I like ID, I'm outta here. Someday you youngsters will understand. The past 24 hours gave me a twofer. Both patients were obese with chronic edema. Both had chronic skin breakdown. One has cirrhosis, the other diabetes. Both are admitted for SIRS and a lower-extremity cellulitis. Both had gram-negative rods in the blood. In my youth, I had been taught that gram-negative rods do not cause cellulitis in normal hosts, and when they do, it is a necrotizing infection. Not so. Over the years, I have seen an assortment of ...
