We report 4 unrelated patients with characteristic microscopic findings of microvillous inclusion disease (MID) with early-onset phenotype. All 4 patients came from the Navajo reservation in northern Arizona. A literature search revealed a fifth unrelated Navajo child with MID. The unusually high incidence in this population indicates that a founder effect might be responsible for an increased frequency of this rare genetic disorder in the Navajo. It is recommended that all Navajo infants presenting with severe diarrhea during early infancy undergo investigation for MID.
The tobacco control leaders of four states that have successfully passed tobacco tax ballot initiatives (California, Massachusetts, Arizona, and Oregon) were brought together to this conference to discuss what happens after the passage of such an initiative, how to defend tobacco control funds against diversion for other purposes by a state's legislature, and how to use the revenues maximally to reduce the health and economic toll taken by tobacco use. At the conference, the attendees from each state presented reports that will undoubtedly be useful to other states seeking to pass their own tobacco tax legislation or initiatives.
In this report, the author traces the development of the offensive and defensive strategies employed by various antitobacco coalitions and organizations in Arizona. Further, he describes key principles and identifies directions for states soon to embark on tobacco control initiatives.
