Influenza Vaccine
Seasonal Flu – trivalent inactivated, live attenuated – 3 virus strains A H1N1 H3N2 B For the 2009--10 influenza season, the influenza B vaccine virus strain was changed to B/Brisbane/60/2008, a representative of the B/Victoria lineage, compared with the 2008--09 season. The influenza A, H1N1 and H3N2 vaccine virus strains were not changed “Swine” Flu – A/California/07/2009
Mechanism of neuronal Injury
• Vaccinations may induce autoimmune process Influenza vaccines made in chicken eggs which are endemically infected with
Campylobactor
Antibodies cross-react against peripheral-nerve antigen • However, the immunologic process that leads to GBS or other neuronal injury is largely unknown
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System
National reporting system jointly administered by CDC Immunization Safety Office and FDA reports submitted voluntarily by people who believe an adverse event occurred after vaccination May be submitted healthcare providers, patients, or family members VAERS staff follow-up on all serious and other selected adverse event reports Data does not infer causality
Addressing parents’ concerns: do vaccines contain harmful preservatives, adjuvants, additives or residuals?

VAERS
GBS and H1N1 vaccination
October 1997 – the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the U.S. Public Health Service recommendations noted: “ Among persons who received the swine influenza vaccine in 1976, the rate of Gullain-Barre syndrome that exceeded the background rate was slightly less than 10 cases per million vaccinated. Even if Guillain-Barre syndrome were a true side effect in subsequent years, the estimated risk for Guillain-Barre syndrome of 1-2 cases per million persons vaccinated is substantially less than that for severe influenza…”
CDC Statement
As of November 24, VAERS had received 10 reports of Guillain Barré syndrome, and two additional reports of possible Guillain Barré syndrome were identified by medical officers reviewing other reports to VAERS describing neurologic events After chart review, four of these 12 reports met Brighton Collaboration criteria for Guillain Barré syndrome, four did not meet the criteria, and four are under review

knowlesis
recently identified to cause human infection
Epidemiology
350-500 million cases worldwide Predominates in tropical areas Over 1 million people die Most young children in Sub-Saharan Africa Account 20% of childhood deaths in Africa Every 30 seconds a child dies from malaria 1200 malaria cases reported annually
Epidemiology
http://wonder.cdc.gov/wonder
Sources of Infection in U.S
Imported Majority of cases Airport Malaria Mosquitoes fly from endemic to non-endemic area and infect local residents Locally transmitted h/o of outbreaks in Southeast Congenital Blood Transfusions One case every 2 years 1 case per 4 million units of blood
Sources of Infection in U.S
1997 to 2006-10, 745 cases of malaria reported in the U.S
59.3% -sub-Saharan Africa 13.9% -Asia 13.3%-Caribbean and Central/South America 0.03% -Oceania 54 fatal cases reported in the U.S
85.2% caused by P.falciparum
71.1% from sub-Saharan Africa
Life Cycle
Clinical Presentation
Symptoms present as early as 7-14 days or as late as several months or longer after exposure Uncomplicated Fever, Anemia, influenza-like symptoms, jaundice, transient HA, myalgias Severe >5% parasite load Mental confusion, seizures, kidney failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, coma, death
Differential To Consider
Typhoid Fever Dengue Filarians Leishmanians Onchoncerciasis African trypanosomiasis
Diagnosis
Smear Microscopy gold standard Thick: Identify presence of parasite Thin: Determine speciation/Parasite level Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) FDA approved for hospital use Results in 2-15 minutes PCR Not FDA approved More sensitive than microscopy/delay in results Confirm species of parasite

Tips for Primary Doctor
Don’t hesitate to refer patient to local travel clinics prior to travel Preventative Measures depend on variety of factors Destination of country, Season of year, age of patient/underlying health conditions, itinerary of traveler Travel to malaria-endemic areas should be a part of patients chart Highest risk of infection are 1 st /2 nd generation of non endemic visiting friends/family in endemic country Highest risk of severe infection are non-exposed individuals, infants/children, pregnant women
