| 1 | Clinico-epidemiological features of dengue fever in Saudi Arabia显示文摘Objective:To highlight some clinical and epidemiological features of dengue fever.Methods: All patients who were admitted to hospitals in Holly Mecca City,Saudi Arabia and were confirmed as dengue fever(DF) or dengue hemorrhagic fever(DHF) were included in this study. The data were collected from patient files and through direct interview with patients or their relatives.Cases were followed through their hospital stay.Routine laboratory investigations were done and diagnosis was confirmed by PCR.Results:Most of cases admitted in stable condition(94.37%) and only one case(1.41%) died.Dengue-1 and 3 types were the prevalent dengue viruses and cases in age group 16-44 were the most frequent(70.40%).The most common symptoms was fever reported from all cases followed by headache(74.60%),myalgia and anorexia(67.60%),back pain(59.20%) and chills(54.90%).DF represented(60.57%) of the cases while DHF represented(39.43%).About half of cases had underground water tanks for human use,5.60%had over house roof water tanks and 43.70%had both types,16.90% of these tanks were uncovered.Approximately 70.00%of cases reported presence of small collection of water nearby houses and 46.80%reported the presence of mosquitoes within their houses.Conclusions:Most dengue fever cases might be endogenous in origin due to prevalence of mosquitoes and their breeding places within the houses and in nearby localities.Control of mosquitoes and their breeding places will contribute to prevention of dengue fever. | Abdel-Hady El-Gilany Abdelaziz Eldeib Sabri Hammad | 2010 | Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine2010，3，3： | 2 |
| 2 | Seroprevalence of hepatitis A antibodies among children in a Saudi community显示文摘Objective:To determine the current seroprevalence of antibodies against hepatitis A virus in selected group of children aged 1-6 years in Northern borders region,Saudi Arabia,and to identify risk factors for infection.Methods:A cross-sectional sero-epidemiological study of 950 children who attended 10 randomly selected primary health care centers(5 urban and 5 rural) was done.Parents of all children were subjected to a questionnaire including sociodemographic and housing environmental data.The determination of anti-HAV antibodies was carried out by ELISA-test.Results:The prevalence of HAV-IgG was 33.8%overall,35.5%among males and 32.0%among females with no statistically significant difference.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that increasing age,rural residence,non Saudi nationality,and non availability of safe municipal water source were the most important independent predictors for HAV seropositivity in the studied children.Conclusions:There is a clear decrease in hepatitis A prevalence in the studied children particularly in urban areas and indicates that a transition may be underway to intermediate endemicity and possible shift of the risk to the adult age with increased morbidity.So,we recommend including Hepatitis A in the schedule of routine childhood vaccinations. | Abdel-Hady El-Gilany Sabry Hammad Khaled Refaat Reda Al-Enazi | 2010 | Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine2010，3，4： | 1 |
