Just this week, researchers reported that the incidence of MRSA infections among children admitted to pediatric hospitals in the United States more than tripled between 2002 and 2007. Researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania found cases of MRSA jumped from 6.7 per 1,000 admissions in 2002 to 21.1 cases per 1,000 admissions in 2007, according to a study released online Monday in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.

Another study, this one published in the U.S. journal Clinical Infectious Diseases in 2006, found that workers in meat-processing plants have a greater likelihood of being infected by some version of the H1N1 flu virus than the general population (the odds of pig farmers getting the disease are significantly greater again).

Every year, an estimated 915,000 people 65 and older get pneumonia, and 40 percent of them end up in hospitals, according to a 2004 paper in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. Pneumonia often kills older people, said Richard Stefanacci, a geriatrician at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia.

Smallpox Vaccination and Patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome

John G. Bartlett

Division of Infectious Diseases, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland

Smallpox vaccination strategies are evolving rapidly and have important implications for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected persons. Cell‐mediated immunity is important for controlling both smallpox and vaccinia. For smallpox, the concern is a substantial increase in the associated mortality rate, which is 30% among healthy persons. For smallpox vaccination, the concern is progressive vaccinia, which is usually lethal but relatively uncommon. The risks associated with both smallpox and vaccinia viruses probably correlate with CD4 cell count, and, as a corollary, the best protection against infection with each is presumably immune reconstitution. It appears that all vaccinations will be voluntary, with 2 recommendations: (1) HIV‐infected persons will be advised to decline preemptive vaccination, and (2) in the event of a bioterrorism attack involving smallpox, HIV‐infected patients with exposures will be advised to receive vaccine.
