Abstract

Hyperimmunoglobulinemia E syndrome is characterized by recurrent infections in the skin and lungs, most commonly by the bacteria Staphylococcus. The clinical symptoms include inflammation and lesions of the skin that are filled with pus, and increased levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE). Patients can also have recurrent infections with other bacteria, such as Haemophilus influenzae, Pneumococcus, Streptococcus, as well as with fungus, such as Candida albicans, Aspergillis, or Trichophyton. There has been one reported case of an individual with hyperimmunoglobulinemia E syndrome who had an infection with a cryptococcal fungus. A second case study of recurrent cryptococcal infection with Cryptococcus neoformans, which caused meningitis (infection that causes inflammation in the membranes that cover the spinal cord and brain), is presented. Abnormal functions of the immune system have been seen in patients with hyperimmunoglobulinemia E syndrome. A possible reason why patients have recurrent infections is that T lymphocytes, which produce cellular factors important in the immune response, are not functioning properly.

35. Bloodstream Infections With a Novel Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Involving 52 Outpatient Oncology Clinic Patients―Arkansas, 2018.

Abstract

Background. In July 2018, the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) was notified by hospital A of 3 patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs) with a rapidly growing nontuberculous Mycobacterium (NTM) species; on 5 September 2018, 6 additional BSIs were reported. All were among oncology patients at clinic A. We investigated to identify sources and to prevent further infections. Methods. ADH performed an onsite investigation at clinic A on 7 September 2018 and reviewed patient charts, obtained environmental samples, and cultured isolates. The isolates were sequenced (whole genome, 16S, rpoB) by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to determine species identity and relatedness. Results. By 31 December 2018, 52 of 151 (34%) oncology patients with chemotherapy ports accessed at clinic A during 22 March–12 September 2018 had NTM BSIs. Infected patients received significantly more saline flushes than uninfected patients (P < .001) during the risk period. NTM grew from 6 unused saline flushes compounded by clinic A. The identified species was novel and designated Mycobacterium FVL 201832. Isolates from patients and saline flushes were highly related by whole-genome sequencing, indicating a common source. Clinic A changed to prefilled saline flushes on 12 September as recommended. Conclusions. Mycobacterium FVL 201832 caused BSIs in oncology clinic patients. Laboratory data allowed investigators to rapidly link infections to contaminated saline flushes; cooperation between multiple institutions resulted in timely outbreak resolution. New state policies being considered because of this outbreak include adding extrapulmonary NTM to ADH’s reportable disease list and providing more oversight to outpatient oncology clinics.

Abstract

Objective: Given poor use of recall in primary care practices, we compared outsourced versus office-based recall systems. Study Design: From 2011 to 2013, we enrolled 87 individual Arkansas providers in distinct practices treating their own patients <24 months of age which were randomized to usual care (A), office-based (B), or outsourced (C) recall groups. Results: At the end of study, recall activity was 19.4%, 55.0%, and 92.6% for Groups A, B, and C, respectively (B and C vs A: P < .001). Only 68 Group B patients were identified as needing immunizations versus 826 in Group C. The majority of successful contacts were made through mobile phone (41.3%) or text message (32.6%). The total cost per practice per week was significantly lower for Group C versus Group B ($39.50 and $53.00, respectively; P = .004). Conclusions: With limited electronic health record use, an outsourced recall system is more sustainable and less costly than an office-based system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
