Epidemiological surveillance of gastrointestinal communicable diseases in Slovenia from 1999 to 2009 Introduction: The surveillance of infectious diarrhoea (ID) in Slovenia is based on the Law on ...Communicable Diseases (Official Gazette 33 / 06) and the Act on Registration (Official Gazette 16/99). The incidence of ID is based on passive notification. Methods: The epidemiological situation of infectious diarrhoea in Slovenia from 1999 to 2009 was estimated. The estimation was based on notifications. Results: From 1999 to 2009, the incidence of all ID inclusive of bacterial, viral and unknown etiology increased. The incidence of all ID increased for 61% from 1999 to 2009 in spite of decrease of incidence of bacterial ID. The incidence of viral enteritis increased: the incidence of rotavirus enteritis by 80% and the incidence of norovirus enteritis by 360%. On the contrary, the incidence of bacterial gastroenterocolitis decreased. The decrease in incidence was greatest for salmonella ID (71%), then E.coli ID (53%) and campylobacter ID (32%). The average incidence of all ID from 1999 to 2009 was 536 / 100 000 inhabitants. Conclusions: Notifications for all ID comprise a quarter of all the notifications of all infectious diseases and remain an important public health problem. PUBLICATION ABSTRACT

Vaccinating children against varicella: are two doses of vaccine necessary? Varicella is a mild childhood disease. Serious complications are rare and more common in infants, adults and persons with ...weakened immunity. Varicella vaccine has been available for a long time. In 1998, the World Health Organization recommended universal varicella vaccination with only one dose. Later it has been shown that vaccination with two doses of varicella vaccine is more immunogenic compared to one dose. A lack of protective effectiveness has been found with a single dose only. Consequently, some countries with universal varicella vaccination for children switched to a two-dose vaccination. A systematic review of the published studies on the effectiveness of vaccination supporting the rationale for introducing a second dose of varicella vaccine was made. A few studies show that vaccination with two doses in children is more effective than vaccination with one dose. Also our position is to recommend that children be vaccinated with two doses, because the possibility of infection is still significant due to the intensive circulation of causative agent.

Kot smo že poročali, se je slovenski izvršni svet odločil za cepljenje vsega prebivalstva. Popoldne pa so na sekretariatu ponovno poudarili, da so se za ta ukrep odločili za to, ...ker se je pokazal kot najbolj učinkovita zaščita pred obolenjem. Zato je potrebno čim bolj dosledno izpolnjevati ta odlok, saj se bomo le tako obvarovali te hude in neprijetne bolezni. Posnetki so z Zavoda za zdravstveno varstvo v Ljubljani. Povedali so tudi, da je na voljo dovolj kakovostnega cepiva, ki so uvozili iz Švice. Za pripravo cepljenja so bili imenovani operativni štab pri republiškem sekretariatu za zdravstvo in socialno varstvo ter področni štabi pri regionalnih zavodih za zdravstveno varstvo pri Sloveniji; Področni štabi imajo tudi vsa potrebna strokovna navodila za cepljenje. Cepiti se morajo tudi vsi tisti,ki prihajajo v Slovenijo iz drugih republik, ker ni natančno znana pot morebitnih bolnikov z bolniki na Kosovem in v Srbiji.
Objavljamo skrajšano poročilo Štaba za zdravstveno varstvo prebivalstva pred črnimi kozami pri zveznem sekretariatu za delo in socialno politiko. V njem je med drugim rečeno: prvi primer črnih koz so se pojavili v vaseh Danjanu in Ratkovac v občinah Orahovac in Djakovice. Naša javnost je bila obveščena o tem takoj, ko so ta sum potrdili tudi izvidi, obenem so obvestili tudi svetovno zdravstveno organizacijo. Naša zdravstvena služba je takoj ustrezno ukrepala.
V omenjenih občinah je doslej zbolelo 44 ljudi, trije pa so umrli. Do ponedeljka so v Beogradu ugotovili 23 obolelih, v Čačku sedem in v Novem Pazaru enega. V Čačku je umrl en bolnik, v Beogradu pa trije. Osamili so tudi ljudi, ki so imeli stike z njimi. O položaju v zvezi s črnimi kozami v Jugoslaviji so ugotovili, da je bolezen na območju v Socialistični republiki Srbiji in da jo popolnoma nadzoruje zdravstvena služba. Vendar pa štab še naprej meni, da je treba zelo odločno ukrepati in to ne samo na ogroženem, ampak tudi na širšem območju države. Sporočilo zveznega štaba dalje pavi, da je zdravstvena služba sodelovala tudi s svetovno zdravstveno organizacija, njen predstavnik, doktor Reinhard Linder pa že dalj časa na terenu z našimi strokovnjaki. Doktor Linder je dejal, da je zadovoljen s prizadevanji za omejitev te bolezni in da epidemija ne ogroža vse Jugoslavije. Izrazil je tudi upanje, da bo bolezen moč ustaviti, kar z drugimi besedami pomeni, da bodo ogrožena območja čez kakšne štiri tedne že razglašena in zbrisana s spiska okuženih. Poročilo v nadaljevanju pravi, da so dosedanji ukrepi zdravstvene službe in drugih organov, pojav črnih koz omejili na ozka področja, ki so pod strogo strokovno kontrolo, tako da je pričakovati, da se bolezen ne bo širila. Na podlagi celotnega položaja in storjenih ukrepov ocenjujejo, da ni razloga za nervozo, še najmanj pa za paniko pri prebivalstvu.
