Re: Guam Weeks 13

Week 13: Sporadic

Number of cases (ILI) increased (12.8 per 100,000)

Hospitalizations decreased

Mumps Advisory:
The Guam Department of Public Health and Social Services reports 8 laboratory-confirmed cases of mumps identified in recent weeks, only 3 of which are known to be epidemiologically linked. This suggests that many cases may have so far escaped detection. Investigation to determine possible sources of infection is on-going.

Additional information on site:
Bali - A rabies epidemic still ravages Bali, an island of 3 million people and one of Asia's top tourist destinations. Seventy-eight deaths have officially been logged in the past two years, including that of a 40-year-old woman a week ago, and many other deaths have likely gone unreported. Several countries, including the United States and Australia, have issued travel warnings advising vacationers to consider getting pre-exposure rabies vaccinations before arriving and to avoid contact with dogs while in Bali. A handful of foreign tourists have reported dog bites, but so far none have been fatal.
Rabies kills some 55,000 people annually ? mostly children ? with nearly 60 percent of those deaths from dog bites in Asia, according to the WHO.


New Zealand - New Zealand is currently experiencing a second wave of Pandemic A (H1N1) 2009 cases with influenza activity continuing to increase on a regional level. To date there have been 335 lab confirmed cases reported, including 163 H1N1 hospitalisations for 2010 compared to a total of 1122 for all of 2009.
