Extractions: 15 November 2001 Table of Contents The epidemiologic investigation into a waterborne cryptosporidiosis outbreak in the Battlefords area (the city of North Battleford, the town of Battleford, and surrounding communities) of Saskatchewan is described in this report. This report is confined to those portions of the investigation in which Health Canada's epidemiologists were directly involved. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the scope, magnitude, and likely source of the outbreak. Introduction On 25 April, 2001 Saskatchewan Health requested assistance from Health Canada to investigate an outbreak of gastroenteritis in the Battlefords area of Saskatchewan. Cryptosporidium parvum was suspected of being the causative organism in the outbreak after several laboratory-confirmed cases were identified. The same day, a precautionary drinking water advisory was issued for the city of North Battleford and the town of Battleford. The epidemiologic investigation included: a descriptive study, a review of the sale of over-the-counter antidiarrheal medications, a randomized cross-sectional community study, and an overview of the municipal water treatment system in the city of North Battleford. Methods Descriptive study The purpose of the descriptive study was to better define the scope, geographic distribution, and time frame of the outbreak. Data were collected using two line listing forms: one for cases within the BHSA, and the second for cases outside of the BHSA. For the purposes of the descriptive study an epidemiologically linked case was ultimately defined as a person reporting onset of diarrhea (unquantified) commencing after 20 March, 2001 and who was either a resident, or had visited, the Battlefords area. A confirmed-case was a person meeting the criteria for an epidemiologically linked case, but who also had a stool specimen positive for

Cryptosporidiosis is an intestinal illness caused by the parasite, Cryptosporidium parvum . The parasite multiplies in the intestine and produces cysts which are passed from the body in the stool (bowel movement). Who gets Cryptosporidiosis? Anyone can get cryptosporidiosis, but those individuals with a weakened immune system, such as that caused by AIDS/HIV infection, cancer and transplant patients who are taking certain immunosuppresive drugs, and those with inherited diseases that affect the immune system are at a higher risk for a more serious illness. How is Cryptosporidiosis spread? A person becomes infected with Cryptosporidium by eating or drinking something that was contaminated with infected stool or sewage. What are the symptoms of Cryptosporidiosis? Some individuals infected with Cryptosporidium have no symptoms. Others may have diarrhea with loose or watery stool, stomach cramps, upset stomach, and a slight fever. How soon do symptoms occur?

Extractions: Cryptosporidia are normally passed in the feces of infected persons and animals in the form of cysts. The cysts can remain in the ground and water for months, and when ingested produce symptoms after maturing in the intestine and the bile ducts. When viewed under the microscope, they appear as small bluish-staining round bodies. Most common sources of infection are other humans, water supplies, or reservoirs. These are contaminated by animals that defecate in these areas. An outbreak in Milwaukee in 1993 in which over 400,000 persons were affected was traced to the city's water supply. Cysts of Cryptosporidia are extremely resistant to the disinfectants that are commonly used in most water treatment plants and are incompletely removed by filtration. Most persons who experience significant symptoms have an altered immune system, and suffer from diseases such as

Extractions: Health education or patient education is important aspect of disease management program. Even some programs, especially some chronic disease management can go further and introduced self-management for some aspect of illness. Good example is management of arthritis. There are a variety of models for both formal and informal self-management. However, the core concepts involve engagement in self-care, improved self-monitoring, interactions with healthcare professionals and coping with disease. Self-management programs are mostly provided to people with chronic diseases like arthritis, diabetes, and some skin diseases. Patient education and self-management programs are aim to improve the efficiency and quality of the healthcare process and overall improve quality of life. It is not really about reduction in doctor visits or clinic attendances. Even sometime, an improved healthcare process can include more frequent use of services because of improved compliance.

Extractions: Cryptosporidium parvum cryptosporidosis Members of the genus Cryptosporidium are parasites of the intestinal tracts of fishes, reptiles, birds, and mammals. It seems that members of this genus do not display a high degree of host specificity, so the number of species in this genus remains a matter of some discussion. Cryptosporidium isolated from humans is now referred to as C. parvum Cryptosporidium infections have been reported from a variety of wild and domesticated animals, and in the last six or seven years literally hundreds of human infections have been reported, including epidemics in several major urban areas in the United States. Cryptosporidiosis is now recognized as an important opportunisitic infection, especially in immunocompromised hosts. Cryptosporidium view diagram of the life cycle ). Transmission of the infection occurs via the oocysts. Many human infections have been traced to the contamination of drinking water with oocysts from agricultural "run-off" (i.e., drainage from pastures), so it is considered a zoonosis. In most patients infected with cryptosporidiosis the infection causes a short term, mild diarrhea. Since such symptoms are associated with a number of ailments, infected individuals may not seek medical treatment, and the infection may subside on its own. Thus, it is difficult to say how many people are infected. On the other hand, in persons with compromised immune systems, this parasite can cause a pronounced, chronic diarrhea; in severe cases the infected individual may produce up to 15 liters/day of stools, and this may go on for weeks or months. Needless to say, such an infection, if not fatal unto itself, can exacerbate other opportunitistic infections common in immunocompromised hosts.

One retrospective chart review (McGowan et al.) suggests that spontaneous remissions may occur with some frequency in AIDS patients with cryptosporidiosis. In this series, 11/38 patients had a clinical remission of their diarrhea. Remission was correlated with a higher CD4 count (>200/cells mm ). Blanshard et al. also report that transient cryptosporidiosis occurs more frequently in patients who are less immunosuppressed, and that fulminant disease generally is seen only in patients with CD4 counts below 50/mm

http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/dc/Epidemiology/crypto_fs.html

Extractions: Cryptosporidiosis Disease Fact Sheet What is cryptosporidiosis? Cryptosporidiosis is an intestinal infection caused by the parasite Cryptosporidium which can cause a diarrheal illness in humans and animals (especially very young animals). It is a very small organism, about 4- 6 microns, and 1-16 cysts of the parasite may be capable of causing illness. What are the symptoms? Most persons experience watery diarrhea, stomach cramping and weight loss. About half of the cases will have low-grade fever and vomiting. Symptoms may be intermittent and some people can be infected but have no symptoms. The illness is mild to moderate in severity and self-limited, usually lasting about 2 weeks (range 1-30 days). However in persons with severely weakened immune systems the illness can be severe and long-lasting. How soon do symptoms appear? The incubation period probably ranges from 1 to 30 days with an average of 7 to 14 days. How do you get it? Cryptosporidium is transmitted by fecal/oral spread. The parasite is shed in the feces (stools) of infected people and animals. You get Cryptosporidium by eating food, drinking water or placing objects in your mouth that have been contaminated with feces from an infected person or animal.

http://www.kidsource.com/health/Cryptosporidiosis.html

Extractions: by American Academy of Pediatrics Advertisement Cryptosporidiosis is an infectious diarrheal disease caused by the Cryptosporidium parasite. Cryptosporidiosis is a common cause of diarrhea in children, especially those in child care settings. Symptoms usually include watery diarrhea and stomach ache, but can also include nausea and vomiting, general ill feeling, and fever. Healthy people who contract cryptosporidiosis almost always get better without any specific treatment. Symptoms can come and go for up to 30 days, but usually subside in less. However, cryptosporidiosis can cause severe illness in persons with compromised immune systems, such as those with HIV infection or those taking drugs that suppress the immune system. Cryptosporidiosis is spread through fecal-oral transmission by feces of an infected person or an object that has been contaminated with the infected person's feces. Infection can also occur if someone ingests food or water contaminated with the parasite. Cryptosporidiosis outbreaks in child care settings are most common during late summer/early fall (August/September), but may occur at any time. The spread of cryptosporidiosis is highest among children who are not toilet-trained, and higher among toddlers than infants, probably due to the toddlers' increased movement and interaction among other children. For child care providers, the risk is greatest for those who change diapers.

Extractions: Good plumbing systems and public health go hand in hand. This section of the IPHE website gives brief details on conditions, diseases and water-borne bacteria/parasites that cause a hazard to everyone when practices are not kept up to standard. For those within the industry this section gives a basic guide on measures taken to prevent such illnesses and covers the most widespread occupational diseases. What is it? Cryptosporidium means 'hidden spore', it is a microscopic parasite found in the faeces of infected humans or animals. It is transmitted via contaminated water and food or through touch of contaminated objects (to be caught in this way the victim must touch their mouths before washing their hands to be infected). The Cryptosporidium parasite is very hard to detect. Although it is reasonably rare in well maintained water systems, it is small enough to pass through most filtration systems and survives chlorination and other disinfectants*. Cryptosporidiosis (the disease caused by the parasite) has no cure.
