“…Heterosexuals represented a high proportion (72% of the female patients were infected by a male partner), a fact that is consistent with the recent epidemic-related trend in Western countries [26,27]. IVDUs, who account for -50% of HIVseropositive persons locally, seem underrepresented in our patient group, possibly as a result of two main factors [24].…”

In this series of 31 patients with acute infection due to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1, the male-to-female ratio was 3.4:1 and the mean age was 31.3 years. Sexual transmission accounted for 83.9% of cases; 45.2% of the patients were homosexual and 38.7% were heterosexual. The mean duration of symptoms and signs was 21 days (range, 5-60 days). Fever (87.1%) and skin rash (67.7%) were most commonly reported. Physical examination findings were abnormal for 96% of the patients; the oral cavity (76.7%) and the skin (73.3%) were the most frequently involved sites. Thirteen of 25 patients with sexually acquired infection had genital or oral ulcers, whereas five intravenous drug users had none (P = .052). Thrombocytopenia was the most common hematologic abnormality and was detected in 17 of 23 patients tested. P24 antigenemia, an initially negative screening test for HIV antibody, and a low CD4+ lymphocyte count were noted in 23 of 29, 23 of 30, and 14 of 21 tested patients, respectively.

“…Diagnostic methods have been serious issues in the treatment and control of diseases. Such techniques have been very important for identifying the aetiologic factors, disease patterns and effects which play a major role in the control of such diseases and in public health decision making (Downs, 1990;Habbari et al, 1999). To this effect, this study encompasses current information on bovine fascioliaisis and the consequent haematological changes due to infection of the disease.…”

“…The purpose of disease surveillance is to use all appropriate epidemiologic and other methods as guide to the control of such disease" (Downs, 1990). This objective was later enlarged to include the evaluation of disease states and provision of data for disease control and health services planning.…”

The prevalence of some parasitic infections and other disease conditions of cattle slaughtered in Nsukka urban abattoir was studied from November to December 2001. The tongues, hearts, masseter muscles, intercostal muscles, lungs, spleens, and livers o cattle were examined for various parasitic infections and disease conditions. The examinations were done by dissection, palpation and other physical procedures. Of the organs examined, the lungs, spleen, and liver were infected. The only case of Cysticercus bovis infection found was in a liver. Also, all cases of Fasciola infections were detected from the liver. Cases of tuberculosis and pneumonia were detected from the lungs. Other disease conditions seen were splenomegaly, jaundice, and telangiactasis. Out of the 150 cattle examined, 30 (20%) were infected or have disease. A total of 150 cattle comprising 116 males and 34 females were examined. The distribution of infections is as follows: 1(0 70%) was infected w th Cysticercus bovis, 15 (10%) with Fasciola gigantica, 4 (2.70%) with tuberculosis. Other disease conditions include 2 (1.33%) with pneumonia, 3(2%) w th telangiactasis, 2(1.33%) with splenomegaly and 2(1.33%) with jaundice. The overall prevalence of the conditions studied in the slaughtered cattle include Cysticercosis bovis 3.33%,
