Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are typically associated with mild respiratory illnesses, although severe disease and outbreaks in congregate settings occur. The National Adenovirus Type Reporting System (NATRS) is a passive, laboratory-based surveillance system that monitors trends in circulation of HAdV types in the United States. This report summarizes the distribution of HAdV types reported to NATRS during 2017-2023.

Article Synopsis
  • Leptospirosis and enteric fever are common bacterial infections in Kelantan, Malaysia, with similar transmission patterns but a lack of research on their spatial relationship.
  • The study analyzed data from 212 enteric fever cases and 1106 leptospirosis cases between 2016 and 2022, finding that both diseases cluster in the northern region, while leptospirosis is more common in the south.
  • The research indicated that these diseases have spatial dependence within an average distance of 4 km, highlighting the importance of developing public health strategies that address potential co-infections and shared risk factors in affected areas.

Objectives: Enteric fever carries appreciable morbidity in non-endemic settings, particularly in returned travelers. This study aimed to characterize the healthcare burden of enteric fever in a low-incidence setting and to identify risk factors and opportunities for preventative interventions.

Methods: Analysis of a retrospective case series from a tertiary pediatric center (2015-2019), augmented by public health notification and microbiological laboratory data (2018-2019), from Western Sydney, Australia, a region with frequent travel links to South Asia.
