“…6,7 The CDC, in conjunction with health departments and universities in selected counties of 10 states, tracks GBS infection rates by the Active Bacterial Core surveillance of the Emerging Infections Program network. 8 In 1990, there were 1.8 cases per 1000 live births of EOGBS disease nationwide. 9 With increasing use of IAP the national incidence of EOGBS had decreased to 0.34 cases per 1000 live births by 2004.…”

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the rate of early onset group B streptococcus (EOGBS) infection in Utah and identify potential areas of failure in EOGBS prevention.Study Design: We queried the microbiology records of Intermountain Healthcare for infants with culture-confirmed EOGBS between 1 January 2002 and 31 May 2006 and calculated rates of EOGBS per 1000 deliveries. We reviewed the infant and maternal records of each EOGBS case to identify possible failures in EOGBS prevention.Result: There were 54 cases of EOGBS among the 127 205 births (0.42/1000 births). Of all, 12 were preterm. Of the 39 (93%) women prenatally screened for GBS, 31 (79%) had negative results and 7/8 (88%) women with positive prenatal GBS screens either did not receive intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) or received inadequate IAP. Of the 54 infants with EOGBS, 3 (6%) died.Conclusion: Utah's rates of EOGBS were higher than the national average. Factors associated with EOGBS include missed screening opportunities, inadequate IAP, and false-negative maternal GBS culture.

“…The HIV status of patients with meningococcal disease is routinely captured in Active Bacterial Core surveillance (ABCs), an active population-based and laboratory-based surveillance system that operates in 10 sites, representing a population of approximately 43 million persons, or 14% of the U.S. population (5). However, the HIV status of patients with meningococcal disease is not reported through the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS), a passive surveillance system that operates in all U.S. states and territories.…”

Background. Few studies have characterized the role of sex on the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). We examined sex differences in rates of IPD, and trends after the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs).Methods. We used active population and laboratory-based IPD surveillance data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Active Bacterial Core surveillance program (1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013) in Tennessee. Population-based rates of IPD by sex, race, age group, and PCV era were calculated. Rates were compared using incidence rate ratios.Results. Throughout the study years, rates of IPD were higher in male than in female subjects, particularly in children <2 years and adults 40-64 years of age, with male subjects having IPD rates 1.5-2 times higher than female subjects. The proportions of comorbid conditions were similar in male and female subjects . Sex rate differences persisted after stratification by race. Although the introductions of 7-valent PCV (PCV7) and 13-valent PCV (PCV13) were associated with declines in IPD rates in both sexes, rates of IPD after PCV13 were still significantly higher in male than in female subjects among children and adults 40-64 and >74 years of age.Conclusions. Rates of IPD were generally higher in male than in female subjects. These sex differences were observed in different race groups and persisted after introduction of both PCVs.
