During the outbreak, 121 people have been hospitalised and no deaths or cases of severe dengue have been reported. Two patients remained in hospital as of 9 December 2012. 12 Dec 2012 In July 2012, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control initiated a Europe-wide investigation on a Salmonella Stanley outbreak, together with the affected Member States, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Reference Laboratory for Salmonella (EURL Salmonella). Cases were associated with strains showing an indistinguishable PFGE pattern not previously reported in Europe. 12 Dec 2012 From 20 June to 23 November, ECDC has published on its website weekly updates on spatial distribution of West Nile fever cases in the European Union and neighbouring countries. Cases reported in the EU included confirmed and probable cases with positive laboratory result as per the EU case definition and all reported cases outside the EU. 12 Dec 2012 During week 49, from 2 to 8 December, ECDC monitored several communicable disease outbreaks that may pose a threat in EU countries. 11 Dec 2012 The flu has to be taken seriously. Watch the new ECDC video on influenza, explaining how to reduce the risk of getting influenza or transmitting it to others. 10 Dec 2012 ECDC has published another update of its risk assessment on the novel coronavirus. Two cases in Jordan have retrospectively been confirmed. These additional cases have increased the geographical area in which transmission of the virus has occurred. The two fatal cases were part of a cluster of 11 patients with respiratory symptoms linked to a hospital. The limited information available about this outbreak does not allow for an assessment of whether human-to-human transmission has occurred or indeed whether the cases in this cluster had the same cause. 06 Dec 2012 ECDC expert Kari Johansen, along with other influenza experts, will answer your questions about the flu in a live chat on Science Live. 03 Dec 2012 During week 48, from 25 November to 1 December, ECDC monitored several EU and Non EU threats posed by communicable diseases. 30 Nov 2012 On 30 November WHO updated the number of confirmed cases of pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus which has been temporarily named hCoV-EMC. Between April 2012 and 30 November 2012, nine confirmed cases of infection with the novel coronavirus (of whom five died) have been reported to WHO, according to its case definitions. Severe acute respiratory disease was the common presentation of all cases. 30 Nov 2012 On the eve of World AIDS Day, ECDC and the WHO Regional Office for Europe release their annual HIV/AIDS surveillance report. 30 Nov 2012 A joint mission of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe (WHO/Europe) to Romania has recommended immediate resumption of BCG (Bacille Calmette–Guérin) vaccination against tuberculosis in infants in the country. 29 Nov 2012 Following an invitation from Greek authorities, ECDC Director Marc Sprenger and experts from the ECDC Programmes for Sexually Transmitted Infections including HIV and blood-borne infections and Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare-associated Infections will visit Greece on 29 and 30 November 2012. |
