[Incident of intestinal parasitosis in Martinique].

A survey of intestinal parasitosis was conducted in Martinique by INSERM in 1978. The survey used a stratified sample of 823 households from the general population. The most prevalent parasitosis are: schistosomiasis 19%; ancylostomiasis 18%; trichuriasis 37%; ascaridiasis 7%; strongiloidiasis 3%. 70% of the 5 to 15 age group carries at least 1 parasite. The prevalence of trichuriasis, ascaridiasis and giardiasis is greatest in the 5 to 15 age group, Ancylostomiasis concerns mostly the 15 to 30 age group. Schistosomiasis, was most prevalent in adults over 30 years of age. Prevalence of parasitosis in rural regions is double that of urbanised regions. Schistosomiasis mostly occurs in the north. Ascaridiasis in the north-east. Rainfall and housing status, each influence on the rates of infestation.

[Present sensitivity of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in the Paris area. Results of a comparative therapeutic trial].

From September 1978 to September 1979, the Authors determined the M. I. C. of 16 antibiotics against 420 Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains collected in Paris area, with standard gel dilution technic. These strains remain susceptible to the greatest proportion of antibiotics tested, except streptomycin. It has been noted, however, that sensibility of a certain percentage of strains, has decreased for penicillins, cyclins, macrolides. Some strains producing beta-lactamase has been identified. Authors compared results given by the gel dilution method to those given by the diffusion or so-called "disc" method. This shows no correlation between radius of inhibition and M. I. G., with no reliable criteria to estimate the area of inhibition. Also, four protocols for therapy were followed: spectinomycin, ampicillin-probenocid, thiamphenicol, minocyclin. The patients were surveyed by physical examination and bacteriological tests. No statistically significant differences could be noted between these four protocols. However, considering the size of the samples, it is not possible to conclude. The authors reassess the necessity to survey the drug-sensitivity of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains, in each geographical area, following an internationally agreed method. They also conclude to the necessity to compare in vitro sensitivity tests with therapeutic schemes suggested by usual sensitivity to main antibiotics.

[Use of the computer for management of a vaccination program].

The surveillance of vaccine acceptance was carried out in 3 French towns. The cost was minimal as the necessary equipment and personnel were available in the town-halls. This arrangement was utilized to monitor the increasing percentage of children vaccinated in the 3 towns. The increase was particularly significant for diphteria, tetanus and poliomyelitis.
