[Epidemiology of bacillary dysentery in Algeria. I. The epidemiological aspects of dysentery in Algeria].

Bacterial dysentery plays an important role among infectious diseases in Algeria. A tendency to the growth of the morbidity rate has been observed. Dysentery is irregularly spread in different zones of the country. The highest morbidity rate is registered in the Sahara zone and in the eastern part of the country. The morbidity rate among the urban population is higher than among the rural population. S. flexneri prevail in the etiological structure of dysentery infection. Of all age groups, the highest morbidity rate is observed among children during the first 2 years of life. In recent years lethality varies between 2.9% and 7.5%. Patients are hospitalized mainly on the basis of clinical symptoms.

[Epidemiology of bacillary dysentery in Algeria. II. The seasonality of dysentery].

Morbidity rises during the period of summer and autumn are characteristic of bacterial dysentery in Algeria. During the last 18 years no essential changes in the seasonal character of bacterial dysentery were observed in the country taken as a whole. However, in different climatic and geographical zones of the country the seasonal character of dysentery greatly varies from one zone to another and essentially differs from the seasonal character of dysentery morbidity, typical of the country as a whole for many years. The most pronounced manifestations of seasonal rises are observed in the Sahara zone. The seasonal character of dysentery is formed mainly by morbidity among patients belonging to 3 age groups. The seasonal rises of dysentery can be probably explained by the complex of social and climatic factors, as well as by the biological features of the causative agents of this disease.

[Prevention of toxoplasmoses].

Prophylaxis of toxoplasmosis consists of a complex of general medical and veterinary measures. Of importance is detection of latent forms of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women and their timely treatment. Thorough clinical and immunological examination of persons with prolonged diseases of obscure etiology is necessary. Suggestions are given for dispensary observation of persons who sustained the disease and had positive immunological reactions for toxoplasmosis. Materials on prophylaxis of hemotransfusion transmission of the infection are presented for the first time. A number of recommendations concerns measures of general organization and also planned prophylactic examination with the use of immunological methods of some groups of population with increased risk of infection.

[Group cryptosporidiosis morbidity in children].

The group morbidity with cryptosporidiosis (13 cases) was recorded in infants from a somatic hospital and a nursery school and also among unorganized groups. The factor of transmission was kefir prepared in the nursery milk kitchen. Cryptosporidian oocysts were not found in the personnel of the kitchen. It was supposed that the contamination of milk by oocysts occurred on milk farm. Single oocysts were found in milk sediments on the filter taken from a tank at a milk factory.

Adult

[The characteristics of cryptosporidiosis prevalence in Nizhni Novgorod Province].

A total of 4070 patients with acute intestinal diseases were tested for cryptosporidiosis in 1989, 1806 of these without diarrhea (controls), 286 of them working at slaughter houses, milk-packing plants and dairy plants, 192 subjects with a history of contacts with cryptosporidiosis patients in the focus of the disease, and 7 animals. Cryptosporidiosis was responsible for 3.2% of acute intestinal conditions in children; cryptosporidia oocysts were not detected in adults or healthy subjects. The high risk group invasion has made up 2.7%. Two cases of the invasion were detected among subjects with a history of contacts with cryptosporidiosis patients, this making up 1.04%, none of them presenting with any clinical symptoms of the invasion.
