Brucellosis disease is progressing rapidly, marking not only the vast spread to cattle, but now seriously endangering human health. Brucellosis is an infectious disease dekurs chronic, caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella.This bacterial zoo-noses is transmitted as an infectious disease even in people from infected animals, products and by-products produced from them. In the brucellar infection map in all world Albania is also included, among the endemic dissemination countries. In 1988 our country was declared healthy from brucellosis. But political and economical changes that occurred in our country after 1990, brought a significant increase of brucelar infection in animals, as a result people were infected too. Therefore, the object of our study is the dynamics of the spread of brucellosis in humans at Korca's region for the years 1999-2009.For examining this disease two methods are used in our bacteriological laboratory: evidence of Rosa-Bengal (RB) and Wright test (SAT). We have studied different cases in these years and from our analysis the result is positive for 1698 people.The increased number of people infected with brucellosis shows that this disease poses a serious problem with social risk to the health of population. These data will serve as a microbiological archive to prevent and reduce this disease, until it is eliminated by combining both veterinary services and hygienic sanitation. INTRODUCTION.Brucellosis is one of the five most common zoonosis in the world caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella, intracelular, gram-negative,unsporoformed, optional.Brucellosis from the moment that was discovered and reported to the 19th century, remains a problem worldwide and more one of the most widespread zoo-noses in the Mediterranean region where our country is also a member.Epidemiological Surveillance in people takes a special importance regarding the endemic countries where enters Albania.
Salmonella typhimurium is the most common pathogen isolated in foodstuffs toxin infections. The development of antibiotic resistance in S. typhimurium over the last twenty years is caused by an extensive application of some antibiotics. The study of antimicrobial resistance of S. typhimurium isolates helps the physicians in using the indispensable antibiotic and replacing the resistant antibiotics with new ones. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance of S. typhimurium isolates of persons with foodstuff's toxin infections in Elbasan region during the years 1985-2004, to which are made the antibiograms and the antimicrobial resistance. This study includes 2931 S. typhimurium strains in this period of time. All the strains were tested using disk diffusion method (with antibiotics: AM, TE, C, SXT, NA and CIP). S. typhimurium strains have been more resistant to Ampicilin (98.29 %), Tetracycline (93.48 %), Bactrim (64.14 %). The reason of passivity of such antibiotics against S. typhimurium is their use, in most cases, without doing the antibiograms in each case and physicians have used very often the above antibiotics, bringing about the intensification of bacteria's resistance towards them.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a group of infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, protozoa, arthropods, or fungi that are acquired by sexual and asexual contact. Adolescence is considered as a critical developmental period, conventionally considered as years between the start of puberty and the establishment of social independence, seen through physiologic, psychosocial and cultural senses. The incidence of sexually transmitted diseases tends to increase in our country. An increased incidence is mainly observed in adolescence ages. This has come from the decline in the age of sexual maturity and consequently the onset of sexual intercourse, but also from the insufficient knowledge of young people about the importance of sexual intercourse. To analyze sexual behaviour among Albanian adolescents and their knowledge of STDs, with the goal of preventing their transmission, a questionnaire was done to 720 secondary school students (280 males and 440 females) aged 13-19 years. For the realization of this study, surveys and questionnaires were made to adolescents in different schools of the district of Elbasan, Albania whose responses have been analyzed and on the basis of which the conclusions of this study are taken. The knowledge acquired in schools about sexually transmitted diseases is not enough to achieve effective protection against them. Contraceptive knowledge of today's adolescents remains poor.There is largely no discussion of sexually transmitted infections in the family. More work is needed from the school, the family and the media to inform young people about STDs and the consequences they cause.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
