Literature review and a preliminary study on leishmaniasis to inform community awareness campaigns in Sri Lanka

Background: Accurate knowledge about transmission and potential risk factors of leishmaniasis among residents in endemic areas is imperative. This paper presents a review of the existing literature on leishmaniasis risk factors in Sri Lanka and a preliminary study of the disease related awareness, attitudes and practices in an endemic area.Methods: Publications on epidemiology of leishmaniasis in Sri Lanka were reviewed. Data were collected using an interviewer administered questionnaire from 120 inhabitants in Dickwella Divisional Secretariat in the District of Matara by a multistage cluster sampling method.Results: Around 20 publications were reviewed, and potential risk factors identified. In the field survey, 21.7% (n=26/120) were aware of the name “leishmaniasis”. Disease vector was identified by 68.1% (n=64/94) through the shown picture and description. Acne form was known as a type of early leishmanial skin lesion by 81.1% (n=73/90). Potential risk factors such as cracks of house walls (55.8%, n=67/120), damp areas in houses (60.0%, n=72/120), animal burrows (45%, n=54/120) and livestock pens (12.5%, n=15/120) were abundant in this area. Western medical treatment was preferred by 78.9% (n=71/90) as the treatment option. Around 58.9% (n=53/90) of respondents felt that disease prevention is a combined responsibility of community and the government.Conclusions: Even though, potential environmental risk factors were abundant, this study found poor awareness regarding the salient aspects of leishmaniasis among the participants.

Global Illness and Deaths Caused by Rotavirus Disease in Children

To estimate the global illness and deaths caused by rotavirus disease, we reviewed studies published from 1986 to 2000 on deaths caused by diarrhea and on rotavirus infections in children. We assessed rotavirus-associated illness in three clinical settings (mild cases requiring home care alone, moderate cases requiring a clinic visit, and severe cases requiring hospitalization) and death rates in countries in different World Bank income groups. Each year, rotavirus causes approximately 111 million episodes of gastroenteritis requiring only home care, 25 million clinic visits, 2 million hospitalizations, and 352,000–592,000 deaths (median, 440,000 deaths) in children <5 years of age. By age 5, nearly every child will have an episode of rotavirus gastroenteritis, 1 in 5 will visit a clinic, 1 in 60 will be hospitalized, and approximately 1 in 293 will die. Children in the poorest countries account for 82% of rotavirus deaths. The tremendous incidence of rotavirus disease underscores the urgent need for interventions, such as vaccines, to prevent childhood deaths in developing nations
