INFECTIOUS DISEASE
• Infectious disease has played a prominent role in world history.
– The Black Death in the Middle Ages killed 1/3 Europe’s population.
– Measles destroyed the South American Aztec civilization.
– Smallpox destroyed indigenous peoples of North and South America, facilitating
the conquest of the New World.

Infectious Disease- Trends
• Receded in Western countries 20th century
• Urban sanitation, improved housing,
personal hygiene, antisepsis & vaccination
• Antibiotics further suppressed Morb/Mort.
• Since last quarter of 20th century- New &
Resurgent infectious diseases
• December 1967, Surgeon General William H.
Stewart declared victory over infectious diseases
Definition
• Emerging infectious disease
Newly identified & previously unknown infectious agents
that cause public health problems either locally or
internationally
• Re-emerging infectious disease
Infectious agents that have been known for some time,
had fallen to such low levels that they were no longer
considered public health problems & are now showing
upward trends in incidence or prevalence worldwide

EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES
• First transition (also referred to as crowd transition)
– Occurs when people begin to live in much closer proximity
to one another
– Higher population density
– Proximity between populations allows for easy
transmission of disease
EMERGING INFECTIOUS
DISEASES
• Second transition
– Neighboring civilizations made contact with each
other through war or trade
– Contact allowed the exchange of pools of
infectious organisms and vectors between
populations.
EMERGING INFECTIOUS
DISEASES
• Third transition
– Worldwide exploration and
colonization led to the identification of
new populations
– Newly identified populations came into
contact with pathogens never seen
before within their cultures.
– Immunologically naïve and susceptible
populations.(Alaska-measles/Native
Americans smallpox)
EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES
• Fourth transition – this is
happening today. The ongoing
causes are:
– Globalization
–
–
–
–

Global urbanization
Increase in population density
Poverty
Social upheaval
Travel
New behaviours (medical /
sexual tourism)
Long distance trade
Technology development
Land clearance
Weather / Climate
Geographical Distribution of West Nile Virus
Origin: Uganda
Global Distribution of Cholera
Origin: India

Sudden Acute Respiratory
Syndrome (SARS)
Emerged in 2003 – hotel in Hong Kong
Rapid spread worldwide – 8098 persons within 3-4
months
Last case in 2004
Person-to-person respiratory spread – droplets
Source – wet markets (live animals)
Reservoir – ferrets
Agent – corona virus
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome: SARS
• SARS became readily transmissible in the 1990s.
• First documented case was identified in mainland China.
• It is transmitted by droplet aerosol and fomites deposited on
the respiratory mucosal epithelium.
• Pneumonia like disease.
• 2002-2003 outbreak infected 8400+ with
916 confirmed dead.
WEST NILE VIRUS
• West Nile virus is caused by an arbovirus (arthropod borne,
RNA viruses).
• The virus is carried in the saliva of mosquitoes and is
transmitted through bites.
• Birds are the primary hosts (Crow and Cardinals)
• Infection is spread from bird to bird by mosquitoes.
WEST NILE VIRUS: Pathogenesis
• Most infected people are asymptomatic unless
the infection causes an invasive neurological
disease called West Nile Fever.
– Symptoms include fever, headache, myalgia, and
anorexia.
– Severe infection can cause profound fatigue,
myocarditis, pancreatitis, and hepatitis.
– Particularly severe cases can result in encephalitis
or meningitis and death.
– The illness can also be transferred through blood
transfusions and transplantation.

– EPA approved repellents: DEET, Picaridin, oil of lemon of
eucalyptus, or IR3535
– Wear protective clothing Permethrin-treated clothing
– Limit outdoor activities in high-risk areas
– Screens on windows and doors
– Household source reduction
• Abroad:

Ebola Virus Disease (EVD)
Outbreak 2014
2014 West Africa Outbreak
• The 2014 Ebola
outbreak is the largest
Ebola outbreak in history
and the first in West
Africa.
• The current outbreak is
affecting 3 countries in
West Africa.
52
Current as of 10/2/2014
Ebola
• Previously known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever
• Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) is caused by infection
with a virus of the family Filoviridae, genus
Ebolavirus
• Natural reservoir of Ebola virus remains unknown
• Researchers believe that the virus is animal-borne
and that bats are the most likely reservoir.
General EVD Background
• Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) is one of numerous viral
hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs).
• The first Ebola virus species was discovered in 1976 in what
is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo near the Ebola
River.
• EVD is often severe in humans, with case fatality rates
reaching 50-90% in developing countries.
• After an incubation period of a few days, symptoms usually
begin abruptly.
• The natural reservoir host of Ebolaviruses remains unknown.
However, evidence suggests it is a zoonosis (animal-borne)
with bats being the most likely reservoir..
54
Ebolavirus species
• Ebola virus (Zaire ebolavirus)
• Sudan virus (Sudan ebolavirus)
• Taï Forest virus (Taï Forest ebolavirus,
formerly Côte d’Ivoire ebolavirus)
• Bundibugyo virus (Bundibugyo ebolavirus)
• Reston virus (Reston ebolavirus) nonhuman primates
EBOLA -Outbreak History--1976
• 1976 Zaire (Congo)
• 318 Reported Cases
• 280 Deaths (88%)
• 1976 – South Sudan
• 284 reported cases
• 151 deaths(38%)
• 1976 – England
• 1 Case(no deaths)
Outbreak History -1976-2013
• 33 Previous Outbreaks
• 2,361 Reported Case
• 1,548 Deaths (66%)
2014- 2015 Outbreak
• 27,580 Reported Cases
• 11,297 Deaths -probable, confirmed and
suspected
Impact on United States
• On September 30, CDC confirmed the first travelassociated case of Ebola to be diagnosed in the United
States in a person who had traveled to Dallas, Texas from
Liberia. The patient did not have symptoms when leaving
West Africa, but developed symptoms approximately five
days after arriving in the U.S. (arrived Sept. 20).
• Contact tracing, a standard public health procedure, is
immediately employed in order to identify and monitor those
who may have been potentially exposed to a sick patient.
• Even with the first U.S. confirmed case, Ebola does not
pose a significant risk to the United States.
• Fear level very high.
60
General EVD Transmission
• Ebola virus is spread from one person to another
through direct contact with:
o Ebola-infected blood or body fluids, such as, but not
limited to, urine, saliva, feces, vomit, and semen
o Objects, such as needles, that have been
contaminated with infected body fluids
• Healthcare workers, family and friends, and others who
come into close contact with Ebola-infected patients
(including corpses of those who expired due to EVD)
have the highest risk of exposure.
61
General EVD Transmission
62
General EVD
Presentation
• Symptoms may appear
anywhere from 2 to 21 days
after exposure to Ebola
virus, although 8-10 days is
most common.
• Only symptomatic Ebolainfected patients are able to
transmit EVD; Patients
without symptoms who are
infected with Ebola virus
are not contagious.
63
General EVD
Assessment
•
Timely diagnosis and treatment of EVD is
important but challenging because the
disease is difficult to diagnose clinically
in the early stages of infection.
•
Because early symptoms, such as
headache and fever, are nonspecific to
EVD, cases of EVD may be initially
misdiagnosed.
•
It is important to obtain an accurate and
complete history of travel or potential
contact with an Ebola case from a patient
exhibiting Ebola-like symptoms.
64
Excerpt from CDC checklist for Patients Being Evaluated for EVD in US
General EVD Treatment
• There is no specific cure for Ebola virus infection.
• There are no specific medications (e.g., antiviral drug)
that have been proven to be effective against Ebola.
• Symptoms of Ebola are treated supportively, as they
appear. The following basic interventions, when used
early, can increase the chances of survival.
– Providing intravenous fluids and balancing
electrolytes (body salts)
– Maintaining oxygen status and blood pressure
– Treating other infections if they occur
65
Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations
• CDC recommends protection with gowns,
gloves, boots, masks to prevent any contact with
infectious materials with known or suspected
Ebola Viral Disease (EVD).
• Though these recommendations focus on the
hospital setting, the recommendations for
personal protective equipment (PPE) and
environmental infection control measures are
applicable to any healthcare setting.
. 66
Vaccines
• Human trials of experimental Ebola
vaccines have begun in U.S.
• Canada is to ship 800 vials of its Ebola
vaccine to the World Health
Organization
• Recent data shows some success
What is New With Ebola
•

•
Chronic ocular disease identified
Persistence of ebola in seminal fluid(500 Days)
Treatment with Favipiravir an anti-viral
Persistence of Ebola in West Africa
Public concerns minimal (despite ebola cases)
• Infectious brain disease confirmed in
patient treated at Maine Med
• The Portland hospital took the precaution this week of
suspending elective surgeries in order to sterilize its
surgical equipment and facilities
PRIONS AND PRION DISEASES
• These infectious diseases are not caused by
microorganisms.
• They are caused by infectious proteins called prions.
• Diseases are called transmissible spongiform
encephalopathies (TSE).
PRION HYPOTHESIS
• Prions are proteins normally found on nerve cells
and are known as PrPc (prion protein cellular).
• Infectious prions are folded improperly and are
known as PrPsc (prion protein scrapie).
– They are routinely found in scrapie (a neurological
disease of sheep).
PRION HYPOTHESIS
• Prions are practically indestructible.
–
–
–
–
–
They can withstand cooking.
They can withstand autoclaving.
They are resistant to strong alkali treatment.
They are resistant to disinfectants.
They can survive in soil for years.
• Inactivation requires autoclaving in an alkali
solution (bleach containing 2% chlorine) for one
hour.
TSE
• Infective prions can be ingested with prioncontaining material.
• These prions can move through the intestinal wall
rapidly and enter lymph nodes where they
incubate
– They are picked up by peripheral nerves and moved to
the spinal cord and brain.
• Infectious prions can be transmitted between
species
– Incubation time is significantly longer when they cross
between species.
TSE
• Prions produce transmissible spongiform
encephalitis (TSE).

–
–
–
It is a neurodegenerative disease.
It can affect cattle and humans.
There is no test for it in live organisms.
There is no treatment.
There is no cure.
TSE
• Symptoms include:
–
–
–
–
–
–
Lack of coordination
Staggering
Slurred speech
Dramatic mood swings
Paralysis
Death within one year of symptom onset
TSE
• “Mad cow” disease was first seen in Britain in 1984
– By the year 2000, there were 180,000 confirmed cases in
cattle in Britain.
• The infection in cattle has been attributed to sheep brain
supplement included in cattle feed.
• First human case documented in Britain
was in 1996.
– To date, there have been more than
120 cases documented in humans.
• Estimates of the number of new cases
in the next few decades vary from a few
hundred to 150,000.

Introduction
• Since the first use of antibiotics in the 1930s
and 1940s, bacteria quickly adapted and
developed mechanisms to escape their effects
• Over the following decades, new antibiotics
were developed to overcome resistance
• Since the 1990s, new antibiotic development
has fallen sharply while bacterial resistance
continues to increase
• Antibiotic resistance is responsible for
countless human deaths and billions of dollars
in healthcare expenses
Introduction
Resistance Beyond Typical Bacteria
• Imidazole-resistant Candida spp.
• Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
• Multidrug-resistant malaria
• Anti-viral resistant influenza
• Multidrug-resistant E. coli

Reasons for Antibiotic Overuse :
Conclusions from 8 Focus Groups
Patient Concerns
• Want clear explanation
• Green nasal discharge
• Need to return to work
Physician Concerns
• Patient expects
antibiotic
• Diagnostic uncertainty
• Time pressure
Antibiotic Prescription
Barden L.S. Clin Pediatr 1998;37:665
Antibiotic Use Leads to
Antibiotic Resistance
• Resistant bacteria or their
genetic determinates are
selected when colonizing or
infecting bacteria are exposed
to antibiotics
• Resistant bacteria can then be
transmitted between patients
• Highest risk patients:
– Immunocompromised
– Hospitalized
– Invasive devices
(central venous catheters)
Mechanisms Of Antibiotic Resistance
• Bacteria are capable of
becoming resistant through
several mechanisms
• One or many mechanisms
may exist in an organism
• Multidrug-resistant bacteria
often have multiple
mechanisms
• Genes encoding resistance
may exist on plasmid or
chromosome

E. Coli
• Mostly UTIs
• Young healthy women in
addition to the elderly
• 10-20% now resistant to
fluoroquinolones
• 30-50% resistant to
trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole
• CTX-M β-lactamases
becoming more common
– Cause cephalosporin resistance
Antimicrobial Therapy
Appropriate initial
antibiotic while improving
patient outcomes and
heathcare
Unnecessary
antibiotics and adverse
patient outcomes and
increased cost
A Balancing Act
What is Antimicrobial Stewardship
• Antimicrobial stewardship involves the
optimal selection, dose and duration of an
antibiotic resulting in the cure or prevention
of infection with minimal unintended
consequences to the patient including
emergence of resistance, adverse drug
events, and cost.
Ultimate goal is improved patient care and
healthcare outcomes
Conclusion
• Inappropriate and excessive use of antibiotics
is a major factor contributing to emerging
antibiotic resistance
• Determinants of resistance are selected for by
antibiotic use
• Multiple mechanisms exist for bacteria to
become resistant to antibiotics
• Antibiotic resistance is a problem in
outpatient and inpatient settings and is a
factor in a wide variety of infections
• Antibiotic resistance continues to emerge as a
serious threat to public health
The Global Threat of Epidemic Infectious
Diseases
Projected Global Trends
• Asian countries will lead in economic growth
• Asian Cities will lead in population growth
 Circular rural to urban migration
• Increased globalization
 Increased trade
 Increased movement of people, animals and commodities
 Increased movement of pathogens
• Increased probability of epidemic disease
• Increased threat to global economic security
