salmonella infections in infants in hawaii.in a 10-year cohort of 117 infants hospitalized in honolulu with salmonella infections, there were 12 infants with bacteremia or complications (simple bacteremia, 7; bacteremia with probably unrelated concurrent infection, 2; serious complications, 3). the rate of serious complications in this cohort was low and occurred only in infants with previous chronic illness or clinically obvious extraintestinal infection at the time of presentation. antibiotics were not shown to be of benefit in reducin ...19883340459

campylobacter jejuni enteritis in honolulu, hawaii.the incidence of campylobacter jejuni in patients with acute diarrhoea was studied in honolulu, hawaii. c. jejuni was recovered from 8.7% of diarrhoeal stools, compared to isolation rates of 4.2% for salmonella and 3.8% for shigella. c. jejuni occurred mainly in the summer and autumn, and in all age and racial groups. there was a significantly higher incidence of abdominal pain, fever history, bloody stools and faecal leucocytes in patients with campylobacter enteritis.19836636278
a predominant role for norwalk-like viruses as agents of epidemic gastroenteritis in maryland nursing homes for the elderly.stool specimens from 156 maryland nursing home residents, who became ill during 20 outbreaks of gastroenteritis from november 1987 through february 1988, were analyzed. all tested negative for astroviruses, enteroviruses, group a rotaviruses, sapporo-like caliciviruses, and enteric bacteria (i.e., salmonella, clostridium, and shigella species). eighty-two (52%) were positive for norwalk-like viruses (nlvs), members of the family caliciviridae. six distinct genetic clusters within genogroups i an ...200211807686

emergence of salmonella serotype enteritidis phage type 4 in hawaii traced to locally-produced eggs.in august 1998, the hawaii department of health observed a nine-fold increase in human salmonella enteritidis (se) infections. isolates were phage type 4 (pt4). an investigation was initiated to determine the source of the outbreak.200516223593
swimmer risk of gastrointestinal illness from exposure to tropical coastal waters impacted by terrestrial dry-weather runoff.this study used molecular methods to measure concentrations of four enteric viruses (adenovirus, enterovirus, norovirus gi, and norovirus gii) and fecal source tracking markers (human, ruminant, and pig bacteroidales) in land-based runoff from 22 tropical streams on o'ahu, hawai'i. each stream was sampled twice in the morning and afternoon during dry weather. viruses and human bacteroidales were widespread in the streams. watershed septic tank densities were positively associated with higher occ ...201121780808
bacterial pathogens in hawaiian coastal streams-associations with fecal indicators, land cover, and water quality.this work aimed to understand the distribution of five bacterial pathogens in o'ahu coastal streams and relate their presence to microbial indicator concentrations, land cover of the surrounding watersheds, and physical-chemical measures of stream water quality. twenty-two streams were sampled four times (in december and march, before sunrise and at high noon) to capture seasonal and time of day variation. salmonella, campylobacter, staphylococcus aureus, vibrio vulnificus, and v. parahaemolytic ...201121492899
salmonellosis in hawaii: 1987 to 1990.after an overview of salmonellosis, its epidemiology is described and techniques are discussed by which the disease could be brought under control. a review is made of all salmonellosis cases reported to the department of health epidemiology branch for calendar years 1987 to 1990. this data is compared with national and state laboratory data. reports received by the epidemiology branch often lack sufficient information; this accounts for the sizable "unknown" entries. this frustrates a person's ...19938262773
fecal mutagens in two japanese populations with different colon cancer risks.human feces from 223 japanese in hawaii at high risk for colon cancer and feces from 166 japanese of northern rural japan at low risk for colon cancer were shown to contain mutagenic activity under five different test conditions. the first assay, using the ames ta98 and ta100 salmonella test, detected ether-soluble mutagens in the presence and absence of rat liver microsomes. of these, the ta98 direct-acting mutagens are present more frequently in the feces of the high-risk population than the l ...19827059973
salmonella egg survey in hawaii: evidence for routine bacterial surveillance.one hundred and six dozen eggs, representing 12 brands, were purchased from oahu supermarkets and cultured for salmonella using standard fda (food and drug administration) microbiological techniques. two enrichment incubation temperatures were used to improve culture sensitivity. ten cartons (9.4 percent) of the 106 dozen samples had shells positive for salmonella. seven of the 10 were traced to a single egg processor. inspection of the facility led to the discovery of malfunctioning equipment u ...19912029051
