Abstract

In dengue-endemic countries such as Indonesia, Zika may be misdiagnosed as dengue, leading to underestimates of Zika disease and less foreknowledge of pregnancy-related complications such as microcephaly. Objective: To assess the attitudes of frontline physicians in a dengue-endemic country toward testing for Zika infection among patients with dengue-like illnesses. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among general practitioners (GPs) in Indonesia. The survey assessed their attitude and also collected sociodemographic data, characteristics of their medical education, professional background, and workplace, and exposure to Zika cases. A two-step logistic regression analysis was used to assess possible variables associated with these attitudes. Results: A total of 370 GPs were included in the final analysis of which 70.8% had good attitude. Unadjusted analyses suggested that GPs who were 30 years old or older and those who had medical experience five years or longer had lower odds of having a positive attitude compared to those who aged younger than 30 years and those who had medical experience less than five years, OR: 0.58; 95%CI: 0.37, 0.91 and OR: 0.55; 95%CI: 0.35, 0.86, respectively. No explanatory variable was associated with attitude in the fully adjusted model. Conclusion: Our findings point to younger GPs with a shorter medical experience being more likely to consider testing for Zika infection among their patients presenting with dengue-like illnesses. Strategic initiatives may be needed to enhance older or longer-experienced physicians' capacity in diagnosing Zika infection.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess bacterial contaminants isolated from hands of undergraduate students of Babcock University, Nigeria. A total number of 200 students (100 males and 100 females) were randomly recruited and hand swabs were collected and inoculated on MacConkey and chocolate Agar. The biochemical tests were conducted to identify the bacterial isolates and antibiotic susceptibility testing was carried out using the disc diffusion method. Out of the 200 participants examined, bacterial contaminants were recovered from 154 (77.0%). The most frequently isolated organisms were Staphylococcus aureus (32.5%), followed by Escherichia coli (26.6%), coagulase negative Staphylococcus (20.8%) and then Klebsiella pneumoniae(20.1%). The antibiotic sensitivity showed that all coagulase negative Staphylococcus isolates were sensitive to ceftriaxone, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, imipenem, ofloxacin and azithromycin, but less sensitive to cefuroxime (50.0%) and amoxicillin (60.0%). S. aureus was sensitive to levofloxacin, ofloxacin, gentamycin and azithromycin while for Gram negative bacteria, E. coli was 100% sensitive to levofloxacin, imipenem, cefuroxime, ofloxacin, and ampiclox, but less sensitive to amoxicillin (20.0%). Klebsiella pneumoniae was sensitive to ceftriaxone and gentamycin, 100% and 90.0%, respectively, but less sensitive to amoxicillin (20.0%). In conclusion, some bacteria exist on the hands of undergraduate students of Babcock Students with varied antibiotic susceptibility patterns and therefore institutional implementation of hand hygiene practices should be implement among students in the university.

Abstract

This cross-sectional, institutional-based study aimed to determine the prevalence of shigellosis and associated risk factors among Babcock University students in Ogun State, Nigeria. One hundred and twenty (120) undergraduate students, 80 females and 40 males, were asked to provide stool specimen in a sterile leak-proof single-use universal bottle with a screw-capped lid. Standard microbiological techniques were used to analyse the stool samples. A questionnaire was designed to collect demographic and clinical information from participants. The data obtained were statistically analysed using the SPSS Statistics software (version 18.0). The study showed that there was no occurrence of shigellosis among the study participants (0%), but other enteric pathogens infection were present in all participants (100%). The three most common mono-infections found among the study participants included Staphylococcus aureus (40%), followed by Escherichia coli (16.7%), and Salmonella typhi and Bacillus spp. (3.3%, each). While the most common prevalence of dual-infections included Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli (33.3%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhi (3.3%). The proportion of participants who were asymptomatic (66.7%) was significantly higher than the symptomatic ones (33.3%). Identified risk factors of non-Shigella enteric infection included consumption of beef, vegetables, fruits, poultry/poultry products, as well as street foods, poor hand hygiene before eating, anal cleaning, and poor hand hygiene after toileting. Although shigellosis did not exist among undergraduate students of Babcock University, this study highlighted the existence of other enteric infections among the study participants. Therefore, the necessary preventive measures should be ensured and sustained.
