The risk and risk factors of chikungunya virus infection and rheumatological sequelae in a cohort of U.S. Military Health System beneficiaries: Implications for the vaccine era.

Background: Understanding the risk of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection and rheumatic sequelae across populations, including travelers and the military, is critical. We leveraged healthcare delivery data of over 9 million U.S.

Post -acute sequalae of COVID-19 and cardiac outcomes in U. S. military members.

Post -acute sequalae of COVID-19 (PASC) among U.S. military members remains unexplored.

Assessing the Burden of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea for Deployed and Active Duty Personnel Assigned Outside the USA.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have posed a threat to military service members throughout history, but limited evidence describes current sexually transmitted infection burden for personnel in-theater and stationed abroad. This study assessed chlamydia and gonorrhea rates by unit of country assignment and evaluated the demographic profile of affected personnel during deployment. Chlamydia and gonorrhea cases among active duty personnel were identified from laboratory results and ambulatory encounter records in the Military Health System from fiscal years October 2006 through September 2015; these were linked to personnel and deployment records to ascertain demographic characteristics, unit of country assignment, and if the case was captured during a period of deployment.

Outbreak of Acute Respiratory Illness Associated with Adenovirus Type 4 at the U.S. Naval Academy, 2016.

Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are known to cause respiratory illness outbreaks at basic military training (BMT) sites. HAdV type-4 and -7 vaccines are routinely administered at enlisted BMT sites, but not at military academies. During August-September 2016, U.

Pneumonia at Marine Corps Recruit Depots: Current Trends in Ambulatory Encounters and Inpatient Discharges.

Background: Acute respiratory infections are recognized as a significant source of morbidity for military populations, particularly for recruits. This analysis aims to describe the pneumonia burden at Marine Corps Recruit Depots (MCRD) in Parris Island and San Diego during 2007-2014, as these two depots maintain noteworthy comparisons in vaccine and prophylaxis policies. First, both depots reinstated the adenovirus vaccine in October 2011.

Malaria Trends in the Navy and Marine Corps, 2005-2013.

U.S. Sailors and Marines routinely deploy to regions where malaria is endemic, such as Africa and Asia.

Incidence of Chlamydia trachomatis infections and screening compliance, U.S. Army active duty females under 25 years of age, 2011-2014.

Reported chlamydia infection rates among active duty U.S. Army females less than 25 years old declined by 20% from 2011 to 2014 (11,028 infections per 100,000 person-years [p-yrs] to 8,793 infections per 100,000 p-yrs, respectively).

Terlipressin with limited fluid resuscitation in a swine model of hemorrhage.

Background: Principles of damage control resuscitation include minimizing intravenous fluid (IVF) administration while correcting perfusion pressure as quickly as possible. Recent studies have identified a potential advantage of vasopressin over catecholamines in traumatic shock. Terlipressin (TP) is a vasopressin analogue used to reverse certain shock etiologies in some European countries.

Chlamydia trachomatis reported among U.S. active duty service members, 2000-2008.

Objectives: To review reported chlamydia infection trends in the U.S. military and identify reasons for differences.

Department of Defense influenza and other respiratory disease surveillance during the 2009 pandemic.

The Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center's Division of Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response System (AFHSC-GEIS) supports and oversees surveillance for emerging infectious diseases, including respiratory diseases, of importance to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
