OBJECTIVE
To analyze two hospital outbreaks of Lassa fever in southern central Nigeria.
METHODS
Hospitals and clinics in city and rural areas of Imo State, Nigeria.
METHODS
Medical data had been reviewed in hospitals and clinics in each areas. Sufferers with presumed and laboratory confirmed Lassa fever had been recognized and contracts traced. Hospital employees, sufferers, and native residents had been questioned, data had been fastidiously reviewed, and serum samples had been taken. Serum samples had been assayed for antibody particular to Lassa virus, and isolates of Lassa virus had been obtained.
RESULTS
Amongst 34 sufferers with Lassa fever, together with 20 sufferers, six nurses, two surgeons, one doctor, and the son of a affected person, there have been 22 deaths (65% fatality fee). Eleven circumstances had been laboratory confirmed, 5 by isolation of virus. Most sufferers had been uncovered in hospitals (assault fee in sufferers in a single hospital 55%). Each outbreak hospitals had been inadequately geared up and staffed, with poor medical follow. Compelling, oblique proof revealed that parenteral drug rounds with sharing of syringes, performed by minimally educated and supervised employees, fuelled the epidemic amongst sufferers. Workers had been subsequently contaminated throughout emergency surgical procedure and whereas caring for nosocomially contaminated sufferers.
CONCLUSIONS
This outbreak illustrates the excessive worth exacted by the follow of contemporary drugs, significantly use of parenteral injections and surgical procedure, with out due consideration to good medical follow. Excessive precedence should be given to training of medical employees in growing international locations and to pointers for secure operation of clinics and hospitals. Failure to take action could have far reaching, pricey, and in the end devastating penalties.

Description: Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 7 (CXCL7), also known as NAP-2 or Pro-Platelet basic protein (PPBP), is a human gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a platelet-derived growth factor that belongs to the CXC chemokine family. This growth factor is a potent chemoattractant and activator of neutrophils. It has been shown to stimulate various cellular processes including DNA synthesis, mitosis, glycolysis, intracellular cAMP accumulation, prostaglandin E2 secretion, and synthesis of hyaluronic acid and sulfated glycosaminoglycan. It also stimulates the formation and secretion of plasminogen activator by synovial cells. Furthermore, the protein is an antimicrobial protein with bactericidal and antifungal activity. |

Description: Human Chemokine (C-X-C motif) Ligand 7 (CXCL7), also known as neutrophil activating peptide 2 (NAP-2), is a member of the CXC chemokines containing an ELR domain (Glu-Leu-Arg tripeptide motif). Similar to other ELR domain containing CXC chemokines, such as IL-8 and the GRO proteins, CXCL7 binds CXCR2, chemoattracts and activates neutrophils. CXCL7, Connective Tissue Activating Protein III (CTAPIII) and beta thrombogulin ( beta TG), are proteolytically processed carboxylterminal fragments of platelet basic protein (PBP) which is found in the alphagranules of human platelets. Although CTAPIII, beta TG, and PBP represent amino-terminal extended variants of NAP2 and possess the same CXC chemokine domains, these proteins do not exhibit CXCL7/NAP2 activity. CXCL7 induces cell migration through the G-protein-linked receptor CXCR-2. |
