Acute flares in chronic hepatitis B: the natural and unnatural history of an immunologically mediated liver disease.

ContextIn the United States, 10% of the population was born outside of its
borders. Immigrants and their children frequently return to visit their homeland,
referred to as visiting friends and relatives (VFRs). They account for a disproportionately
high volume of international travel.Evidence AcquisitionSearches of MEDLINE, World Health Organization, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, International Society of Travel Medicine, and American
Society of Tropical Medicine computerized databases, conference proceedings
and abstracts, US Census Bureau, bibliographies of pertinent articles, and
travel medicine texts. Priority was given to recent (1996-2003) evidence,
addressing VFR travelers. General sources including travel medicine and immigrant
health were also used.Evidence SynthesisImmigrants visiting friends and relatives experience excessive rates
of travel-related morbidity and mortality. Lack of pretravel care is common
due to patient and clinician barriers to care, preexisting health beliefs,
and incomplete childhood vaccinations. Travel patterns increase risk with
VFRs traveling to high-risk destinations. Susceptibility to infectious and
noninfectious illnesses is often increased because of multiple preexisting
medical problems and extremes of age. Infectious diseases differ in etiology
and magnitude from those of traditional travelers. For example with malaria,
VFRs are frequently prescribed inappropriate prophylaxis or take none at all,
have longer stays, spend time in high-risk areas, and do not appropriately
adhere to chemoprophylaxis regimens. Effective pretravel health advice, guidelines,
and services for this high-risk population are essential. There are already
a number of useful and readily available databases that may aid clinicians
in providing optimal travel-related preventive and therapeutic care.ConclusionsImmigrants who are visitors of friends and relatives in other countries
account for a high volume of international travelers and are at markedly increased
risk of travel-related illness. New strategies are needed to properly address
the needs of VFR travelers. Pretravel services should be convenient, accessible,
affordable, culturally competent, and if possible, located within clinics
serving immigrant populations. Clinicians caring for VFRs should be knowledgeable
about their travel-related risks and have access to regularly updated, detailed
pretravel health information.

Vaccination in the elderly: an immunological perspective

Use of famciclovir to prevent HBV reactivation in HBsAg-positive recipients after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

Thirteen hepatitis B surface antigen-positive Chinese patients who received hepatitis B surface antibody-positive marrow (hepatitis B core antibody-positive or -negative: 6 and 7, respectively) via allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) were studied. After BMT, 4 recipients had serologic clearance of hepatitis B surface antigen from hepatitis B core antibody-positive marrow, but none of the recipients of hepatitis B core antibody-negative marrow had serologic clearance (P = .02). There was no significant difference in the donors' hepatitis B surface antibody titer before BMT for patients with or without serologic clearance of hepatitis B surface antigen (2255.2 ± 4244.0 vs. 854.2 ± 2306.7 mIUlmL; P = not significant). Adoptive immunity clearance of hepatitis B surface antigen was favored by hepatitis B core antibody positive-donor marrow and was not related to donor pre-BMT hepatitis B surface antibody titer.

Clearance of Persistent Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Chinese Bone Marrow Transplant Recipients Whose Donors Were Anti—Hepatitis B Core— and Anti—Hepatitis B Surface Antibody—Positive

A case-controlled study on the use of HBsAg-positive donors for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.

After the 1988 measles outbreak, annual notification rates for measles in Hong Kong SAR between 1989 and 1999 were 0.4-4.9 per 100 000, with peaks in 1992, 1994 and 1997. The first half-year incidence rates per 100 000 were 2.3 in 1997, 0.5 in 1995 and 1.2 in 1996. Monthly notification rates increased from a baseline of <10 cases to 59 in May 1997. Serological surveillance showed only 85.5% of children aged 1-19 years had measles antibodies. An epidemic, mainly because of failure of the first dose to produce immunity, seemed imminent in mid-1997. A mass immunization campaign targeted children aged 1-19 from July to November 1997. The overall coverage was 77%. The rate of adverse events was low. After the campaign, measles notification fell to 0.9 per 100 000 in 1998. A two-dose strategy and supplementary campaigns will maintain measles susceptibility at levels low enough to make measles elimination our goal.
