National Depression Screening Day October 7, 2010


National Depression Screening Day, sponsored by Screening for Mental Health, will be observed October 7, 2010, during Mental Illness Awareness Week, October 39, which is sponsored by the National Alliance on Mental Illness. In 2004, depression was the third leading cause of disease burden worldwide and a leading cause of disability in high-income countries (1). By 2020, depression is expected to be second only to cardiovascular disease in disease burden (1). Depression can adversely affect the course and outcome of common chronic conditions, such as arthritis, asthma, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity (2). Depression also can result in increased work absenteeism, short-term disability, and decreased productivity (3). The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that health-care providers screen adults for depression when programs are in place to ensure that accurate diagnosis and effective treatment can be provided with careful monitoring and follow-up (4). An online self-assessment of emotional health and additional information regarding National Depression Screening Day are available at http:// www.mentalhealthscreening.org.

Current Depression Among Adults United States, 2006 and 2008


Major depression is a common and treatable mental disorder; a study conducted during 20012002 estimated that 6.6% of the U.S. adult population had experienced a major depressive disorder during the preceding 12 months (1). Depressive disorders are more common among persons with chronic conditions (e.g., obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, asthma [2,3], arthritis, and cancer [3]) and among those with unhealthy behaviors (e.g., smoking, physical inactivity, and binge drinking [2]). To estimate the prevalence of current depression, CDC analyzed Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey data from 2006 and 2008. Current depression was defined as meeting BRFSS criteria for either major depression or other depression during the 2 weeks preceding the survey. This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicated that, among 235,067 adults (in 45 states, the District of Columbia [DC], Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), 9.0% met the criteria for current depression, including 3.4% who met the criteria for major depression. By state, age-standardized estimates for current depression ranged from 4.8% in North Dakota to 14.8% in Mississippi. State health departments that include depression measures in their BRFSS surveys can track prevalence, set health goals for prevention and control, and monitor the effectiveness of relevant programs and policies. BRFSS conducts state-based, random-digitdialed telephone surveys of the noninstitutionalized U.S. civilian population aged 18 years, collecting data on health conditions and health risk INSIDE

behaviors.* Data from the 29 participating states, DC, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands from the 2006 survey were included in the analysis along with data from the 16 states that participated in the 2008 survey (the most recent years the optional depression module was included in the BRFSS survey). Nine states (Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Vermont, and Washington) participated in both years, but only their 2008 data were included. Five states (Kentucky, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota) did not participate in either year. Council of American Survey and Research Organizations (CASRO) response rates ranged from 36.9% (California) to 73.4% (Puerto Rico) in 2006 (mean: 52.7%) and from 40.0% (New York) to 65.5% (Nebraska) in 2008 (mean: 52.0%). Cooperation rates ranged from 56.9% (California) to 89.0% (Puerto Rico) in 2006 and from 63.4% (New York) to 81.9% (Colorado) in 2008.

Current depression was determined based on responses to the Patient Health Questionnaire 8 (PHQ-8) (4), which covers eight of the nine criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) for diagnosis of major depressive disorder (5). The ninth criterion in the DSM-IV assesses suicidal or self-injurious ideation and was omitted from the BRFSS depression module because interviewers would not able to provide adequate intervention by telephone. The PHQ-8 classification other depression includes the DSM-IV category Depressive Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (sometimes referred to as minor or subthreshold depression); persons with other depression also might meet criteria for the category Dysthymia. The PHQ-8 sensitivity and specificity for major depression have been reported as 88% (4). The PHQ-8 response set was standardized to BRFSS methodology for current depression by asking the number of days over the last 2 weeks that the respondent experienced a particular depressive symptom. Participants were considered to have major depression if, for more than half the days, they met at least five of the eight criteria, including at least

one of the following: 1) little interest or pleasure in doing things or 2) feeling down, depressed, or hopeless. Participants were considered to have other depression if they met two, three, or four of the eight criteria, including at least one of the two specified. Weighted prevalence estimates for major depression and other depression and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using statistical software to account for the complex survey design. Estimates were stratified by type of depression, age, sex, race/ethnicity, education level, and marital, employment, and health insurance coverage plan status. Age-standardized estimates also were calculated by state/territory using the 2000 U.S. standard population. For comparisons of prevalence, statistical significance (p<0.05) was determined using a two-sided z-test. Among the 235,067 adult respondents in the sample for survey years 2006 and 2008, 9.0% met criteria for current depression, including 3.4% who met criteria for major depression (Table 1). The prevalence of major depression increased with age, from 2.8% among persons aged 1824 years to 4.6% among persons aged 4564 years, but declined to 1.6% among those aged 65 years. Women were significantly more likely than men to report major depression (4.0% versus 2.7%), as were persons without health insurance coverage compared with those with coverage (5.9% versus 2.9%), persons previously married (6.6%) or never married (4.1%) compared with those currently married (2.2%), and persons unable to work (22.2%) or unemployed (9.8%) compared with homemakers and students (3.0%), persons employed (2.0%), and retired persons (1.6%) (Table 1). Non-Hispanic blacks (4.0%), Hispanics (4.0%), and non-Hispanic persons of other races (4.3%) were significantly more likely to report major depression than non-Hispanic whites (3.1%). Persons with less than a high school diploma (6.7%) and high school graduates (4.0%) were more likely to report major depression than those with at least some college (2.5%). Patterns of prevalence for other depression generally were similar to those for major depression, with some notable exceptions. Among age groups,

What is already known on this topic? Depression is a common and treatable mental disorder, with an estimated 6.6% of the U.S. adult population (often including persons with chronic conditions or unhealthy behaviors) experiencing a major depressive disorder during a 12-month period. What does this report add? In 2006 and 2008, an estimated 9.0% of U.S. adults reported symptoms for current depression (i.e., during the preceding 2 weeks), including 3.4% who reported symptoms for major depression, among 235,067 survey respondents in 45 states, the District of Columbia, and two U.S. territories. By state, estimates for current depression varied widely, ranging from 4.8% in North Dakota to 14.8% in Mississippi. What are the implications for public health? States that monitor the prevalence of current depression and major depression can analyze their data by participant characteristics, identify those populations at greatest risk, and target them for interventions.

other depression was highest (8.1%) among persons aged 1824 years (Table 1). The age-standardized prevalence of major depression, other depression, and any current depression also varied by state and territory. The estimates for major depression ranged from 1.5% in North Dakota to 5.3% in Mississippi and West Virginia (Table 2). Estimates of other depression were highest in Puerto Rico (10.2%), Mississippi (9.5%), and West Virginia (9.0%) and lowest in North Dakota (3.2%), Oregon (3.6%), and Minnesota (3.8%). Estimates for any current depression ranged from 4.8% in North Dakota to 14.8% in Mississippi and was mainly concentrated in the southeastern region of the United States (Figure).

remaining six criteria were 1) trouble falling asleep or staying asleep or sleeping too much, 2) feeling tired or having little energy, 3) poor appetite or overeating, 4) feeling bad about yourself or that you were a failure or let yourself or your family down, 5) trouble concentrating on things, such as reading the newspaper or watching television, and 6) moving or speaking so slowly that other people could have noticed . . . or the opposite: being so fidgety or restless that you were moving around a lot more than usual.

Unlike previous epidemiologic studies of depression that have used different methodologies and focused on lifetime or 12-month prevalence of depression (1), the PHQ-8 and BRFSS enabled assessment of current depression (i.e., symptoms occurring during

the preceding 2 weeks). However, the distribution of major depression among selected sociodemographic groups in this analysis generally is consistent with previous research indicating that women, younger and middle-aged adults, those who were never married, and persons with less than a high school education were more likely to have met diagnostic criteria for depression during the preceding 12 months (1). Older adults have been found less likely to meet diagnostic criteria, but depression in this population might be underrecognized or underreported (6).

The greater prevalence of depression among women is not fully understood, although potential contributors include different responses to stressful life events, genetic predisposition, and hormonal differences (7). Racial/ethnic differences in depression have not been found consistently; some studies have reported no differences (8), whereas others have found lower rates (1) among racial/ethnic minorities compared with whites. However, this report and other BRFSS-based studies (2) indicate significantly higher rates of current depression among racial/ ethnic minorities. This is consistent with the greater

risk factors for mental illness that these populations often experience (e.g., social and economic inequality, exposure to racism and discrimination, increased prevalence of some chronic diseases, and less access to care and treatment for mental health and health conditions [8]). Targeted efforts are needed to address racial/ethnic disparities in recognition and treatment of depression (8). In this study, persons without health insurance coverage were more likely to have current depression. Although seeking care for depression might have grown more common, for many, lack of health insurance coverage (or limited mental health coverage) remains a major barrier to care (9). State and territorial variations in depression prevalence might result from differences in socioeconomic status, prevalence of comorbid mental and physical disorders (particularly chronic conditions), and access to health-care and treatment (e.g., availability of mental health service providers) (2,10). In this

study, a greater prevalence of depression was found in southeastern states, where a greater prevalence of chronic conditions associated with depression also has been observed (e.g., obesity and stroke). Depression can lead to chronic diseases, and chronic diseases can exacerbate depressive conditions (3). The variations among states in depression prevalence should be examined further to target prevention and intervention efforts and to allocate mental health treatment resources of the federal government. In addition, the Task Force on Community Preventive Services recommends collaborative care, an approach that facilitates the collaboration of primary-care providers, mental health specialists, and case managers for the management of depressive disorders, on the basis of strong evidence of effectiveness in improving depression outcomes. The findings in this report are subject to at least three limitations. First, the increase in the number households with cellular telephones only and the increase in telephone number portability continue to decrease BRFSS response rates, reducing the precision of state estimates and potentially introducing bias; however, in 2009 all states incorporated surveys for cellular telephone households along with landline surveys, which should increase response rates to the survey. Second, institutionalized and homeless persons are not included in BRFSS surveys; their inclusion might have increased depression estimates. Finally, because not all states participated, estimates might not be generalizable to the entire U.S. adult population. PHQ-8 was added as a component of an optional module in the BRFSS survey in 2006 through an intra-agency agreement with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Agency to determine state-based estimates of depression in adults. These data also allow for examination of comorbid chronic diseases and associated health-risk behaviors among adults with depressive disorders and should be used to help guide state-level chronic disease and mental health programs. The prevalence of depressive disorders should be monitored by state public health departments through surveillance, and at-risk populations should be targeted for intervention.

Human Rabies Virginia, 2009


On October 28, 2009, CDC notified the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) of suspected rabies in a Virginia man aged 42 years. Earlier that day, an infectious disease physician in Virginia had contacted CDC requesting confirmatory diagnostic testing and reported initiating treatment with the Milwaukee protocol (1) after consultation with staff at the Medical College of Wisconsin. This report summarizes the patients exposure history, clinical course, and treatment, and describes efforts to identify close contacts requiring postexposure prophylaxis (PEP). According to family members, the patient had reported an encounter with a dog while in India approximately 3 months before symptom onset. On October 29, infection with a rabies virus was confirmed by direct fluorescent antibody testing of a nuchal skin biopsy, and reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) typed the virus as a variant associated with dogs in India. The patient died on November 20. Public health authorities conducted rabies exposure assessments of 174 persons associated with the patient, and 32 persons (18%) initiated rabies PEP. This is the seventh case of rabies reported in the United States acquired abroad since 2000. This case highlights the importance of raising public awareness of rabies, particularly the risk for rabies exposures in association with travel to rabies-endemic countries, and the importance of initiating PEP promptly after a potential exposure. 27, the patient contacted his primary-care physician and raised concern about the possibility of rabies. He was referred back to the same ED for evaluation of neurologic disorders, including rabies. On October 27, the patient returned to the ED and, in addition to the previously noted symptoms, exhibited anxiety and erratic behavior and had involuntary dystonic movements of his upper extremities. The patient reported travel to India approximately 3 months before symptom onset but gave no clear history of animal exposure occurring while in India or in the United States. Physical examination showed tachycardia (134 beats per minute) and elevated blood pressure (153/93 mm Hg) but no fever. The patient was noted to have dystonic movements of the upper extremities and neck and loud involuntary vocalizations. Sensation and motor strength were normal. The patient demonstrated aversion to water when offered. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the head showed only left maxillary sinusitis. The patient was admitted to the hospital (hospital A) with a differential diagnosis that included rabies and other neurologic diagnoses of unknown etiology. Empiric antimicrobial and antiviral therapy for meningioencephalitis was initiated. Within 24 hours of admission, the patient was noted to be shouting, gagging on copious salivary secretions, and unable to follow commands. His tachycardia and hypertension worsened and, soon after he was transferred to the intensive-care unit, he developed seizures, sustained a cardiac arrest, and required ventilator support. At this time, the patient developed a low-grade fever (99.4F [37.4C]). Complete blood count showed mild leukocytosis (15.42 109/L [normal: 510 109/L]), mild hyperglycemia (120 mg/ dL [normal: 70105 mg/dL), and a creatine kinase of >16,000 U/mL (normal: 1270 U/mL). Urinalysis showed large blood and hyaline casts. Toxicology and heavy metal screenings were unremarkable. On October 28, the second hospital day, a lumbar puncture showed an elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose of 101 mg/dL (normal: 5080 mg/dL), normal protein of 31 mg/dL (normal: 1545 mg/ dL), and 6 white blood cells/mm3 (normal: 03 cells/ mm3). The treating physician initiated the Milwaukee protocol, including ketamine infusion, but in keeping with this protocol, the patient was not given rabies

Case Report
On October 23, 2009, a male physician aged 42 years in Virginia experienced the onset of chills and hot flashes. The next morning, he began experiencing discomfort in his legs, and that evening he developed spontaneous ejaculation occurring up to once per hour, urinary incontinence, and back pain radiating to the left lower extremity. Two days later, on October 26, he visited an ED for assessment. The patient was awake, oriented, and afebrile during this visit. Magnetic resonance imaging of his lumbar spine revealed degenerative disease at L4L5, and he was discharged with a diagnosis of lumbar back pain, given pain medications, and instructed to follow up with his primary-care physician. That evening he began to gag while drinking and showering. On October

immune globulin, vaccine, or antivirals (1). Serum, CSF, nuchal skin biopsy, and saliva were collected and submitted to CDC for rabies testing. The next day, October 29, CDC detected rabies virus antigen in the skin biopsy by direct fluorescent antibody testing. Rabies viral RNA amplified by RT-PCR was typed as a variant common to dogs in India. Serial assessments of serum, CSF, and saliva were conducted to monitor for viral clearance. A ventriculostomy drain was placed for continuous monitoring and management of intracranial fluid pressures. With turning and suctioning, the patient experienced asystole. Increasing episodes of asystole resulted in placement of a transvenous pacemaker by hospital day 8. By hospital day 12, the patient developed inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion followed by severe central diabetes insipidus treated with desmopressin and continuous vasopressin infusion. By hospital day 15, the patient developed late and marginal antibody response in saliva but never developed neutralizing antibody in CSF, which is necessary for viral clearance and cure. Sedation was tapered over 1 week with clinical evidence of denervation indicated by loss of brain stem reflexes and diminished autonomic dysfunction. The patient died on November 20 (hospital day 25).

What is already known on this topic? If not prevented by administration of postexposure prophylaxis (PEP), the rabies virus causes acute progressive viral encephalitis that is almost always fatal. What is added by this report? In November 2009, a man from Virginia aged 42 years died of rabies acquired while traveling in India; this is the seventh case of rabies reported in the United States acquired abroad since 2000. What are the implications for public health practice? Public health officials and clinicians should advise travelers of the risk for rabies exposure in rabiesendemic countries and should evaluate promptly persons with potential exposure to initiate PEP based on guidelines from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

Public Health Investigation


VDH and the Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) were notified of a suspected rabies case on October 28, the patients second hospital day. FCHD began working with hospital As epidemiology and occupational health staff to generate a list of potentially exposed hospital employees. In addition, FCHD initiated interviews with family and friends to clarify the patients exposure history and gather information about persons who had contact with the patient since October 8, the date after which he was considered potentially infectious. According to the patients father, the patient had an unwitnessed encounter with a dog while he was in India. Family members were unaware of other possible exposures to rabies and did not know if the patient sought medical care or rabies PEP. The patient was a psychiatrist and worked primarily at a hospital (hospital B), where he supervised psychiatry residents and did not have direct patient contact. He also worked 1 day a week at two additional health-care facilities (facilities A and B). Hospital B

is located in the District of Columbia, and the two facilities are located in Maryland. On October 29, VDH contacted the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (MDHMH) and the District of Columbia Department of Health (DCDOH) to facilitate assessment of coworkers and patients for PEP according to Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) criteria (2). A survey tool was created to assess health-care contacts, and another questionnaire was developed to assess household contacts and coworkers. A total of 32 (18%) of 174 persons evaluated for potential exposure initiated PEP. No adverse reactions to PEP or additional cases of rabies were reported to public health authorities. FCHD interviewed all 70 health-care providers who had administered care to the patient in hospital A, and 17 met the criteria for a nonbite exposure to rabies (because of exposure to the patients saliva). An additional seven assessed persons initiated rabies PEP despite no indication; two had already initiated PEP before the exposure assessment by FCHD. Among the 34 coworkers assessed at hospital B by DCDOH, only one, who identified himself as a close friend of the patient, met the criteria for nonbite exposure and received rabies PEP. MDHMH assessed 37 coworkers and 26 patients associated with facilities A and B. No coworkers or patients at either facility met the criteria for exposure, and none pursued rabies PEP. All six family members and one assessed friend were identified who might have been exposed to saliva from the patient, and all received rabies PEP.

Editorial Note

The case described in this report underscores two important aspects of human rabies prevention: 1) the importance of awareness about rabies risks when traveling abroad and 2) the need to seek prompt medical evaluation after an animal exposure (3). Since 2000, seven of the 31 human rabies cases reported in the United States were acquired from exposure abroad; two were acquired in the Philippines (California, 2001 and 2006), and one each were acquired in Ghana (New York, 2000), El Salvador (California, 2004), Haiti (Florida, 2004), Mexico (California, 2008), and India (the 2009 case described in this report) (4). An attempt to treat the patient after the onset of clinical symptoms of rabies using an experimental treatment (the Milwaukee protocol) failed. Prompt administration of rabies PEP after an exposure remains the only documented method for preventing death after an exposure to rabies (2). Although human-to-human rabies transmission in a health-care setting is theoretically possible, no such occurrence has been documented. Rabies exposure risks for health-care personnel who care for rabies patients include exposure of mucous membranes or open wounds to infectious body fluids or tissue (e.g., saliva, tears, or neurologic tissue). Adherence to standard infection control precautions minimizes the risk for health-care personnel. However, additional precautions, such as wearing face shields when performing higher-risk procedures that can produce droplets or aerosols of saliva (i.e., suction of oral secretions), might be warranted (2). Among the health-care personnel assessed for potential contact in recent human rabies cases in the United States, the proportion that received PEP ranged from 2.5% to 30.0% (58). In this report, 34% of health-care personnel received PEP after a potential contact with
1238 MMWR / October 1, 2010 / Vol. 59 / No. 38

the patient. However, seven health-care personnel received PEP despite PEP not being recommended after risk assessment. Prompt communication with public health authorities and education of personnel who have contact with a rabies patient is critical to permit appropriate risk assessment and reduce unnecessary PEP (2,9). Dogs represent the most frequent risk for bite exposures to travelers and should be avoided. Travelers to rabies-endemic countries should be warned about the risk for acquiring rabies and educated about animal bite prevention and appropriate actions to take if an exposure does occur (i.e., wound washing and medical attention to determine if PEP is necessary). Relative rabies risk and recommendations for travelers by region and country can be found in CDCs Health Information for International Travel 2010 (10).

MMWR Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report

Progress Toward Global Eradication of Dracunculiasis, January 2009June 2010


In 1986, the World Health Assembly (WHA) called for the elimination of dracunculiasis (Guinea worm disease), a parasitic infection in humans caused by Dracunculus medinensis (1). At the time, an estimated 3.5 million cases were occurring annually in 20 countries in Africa and Asia, and 120 million persons were at risk for the disease (1,2). Because of slow mobilization in countries with endemic disease, the 1991 WHA goal to eradicate dracunculiasis globally by 1995 was not achieved (3). In 2004, WHA established a new target date of 2009 for global eradication (4); despite considerable progress, that target date also was not met. This report updates both published (57) and previously unpublished data and updates progress toward global eradication of dracunculiasis since January 2009. At the end of December 2009, dracunculiasis remained endemic in four countries (Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali, and Sudan). The number of indigenous cases of dracunculiasis worldwide had decreased 31%, from 4,613 in 2008 to 3,185 in 2009. Of the 766 cases that occurred during JanuaryJune 2010, a total of 745 (97%) were reported from 380 villages in Sudan. Ghana, Ethiopia, and Mali each are close to interrupting transmission, as indicated by the small and declining number of cases. The current target is to complete eradication in all four countries as quickly as possible. Insecurity (e.g., sporadic violence or civil unrest) in areas of Sudan and Mali where dracunculiasis is endemic poses the greatest threat to the success of the global dracunculiasis eradication program. Persons become infected with D. medinensis by drinking water from stagnant sources (e.g., ponds) contaminated by copepods (water fleas) that contain Guinea worm larvae. Currently, no effective drug to treat nor vaccine to prevent dracunculiasis is available, and persons who contract D. medinensis infections do not become immune. After a 1-year incubation period, adult female worms 2847 inches (70120 centimeters) long migrate under the skin to emerge, usually through the skin of the foot or lower leg. On contact with water, these worms eject larvae that can then be ingested by copepods and infect persons who drink the water. The emerging worm can be removed by rolling it up on a stick a few centimeters each day. Complete removal averages approximately 4 weeks or more. Disabilities caused by dracunculiasis are secondary to bacterial infections that frequently develop in the skin, causing pain and swelling (8,9). Dracunculiasis can be prevented by 1) educating persons from whom worms are emerging to avoid bathing affected body parts in sources of drinking water, 2) filtering potentially contaminated drinking water through a cloth filter, 3) treating potentially contaminated surface water with a larvicide such as temephos (Abate), and 4) providing safe drinking water from borehole or hand-dug wells (3). Containment* of transmission, achieved through 1) voluntary isolation of each patient to prevent contamination of drinking water sources, 2) provision of first aid, 3) manual extraction of the worm, and 4) application of occlusive bandages, is a complementary component to the four main interventions. Countries enter the World Health Organization (WHO) precertification stage of eradication approximately 1 year (i.e., one incubation period for D. medinensis) after reporting their last indigenous case. A case of dracunculiasis is defined as occurring in a person exhibiting a skin lesion or lesions with emergence of one or more Guinea worms. Each person is counted only once during a calendar year. An imported case is an infection acquired in a place (another country or village within the same country) other than the community where detected and reported. Seven countries where transmission of dracunculiasis was formerly endemic (Burkina Faso, Chad, Cte dIvoire, Kenya, Nigeria, Niger, and Togo) are in the precertification stage of eradication. In each country affected by dracunculiasis, a national eradication program receives monthly reports of cases from each village that has endemic
* Transmission from a patient with dracunculiasis is contained if all of the following conditions are met: 1) the disease is detected <24 hours after worm emergence; 2) the patient has not entered any water source since the worm emerged; 3) a volunteer has managed the patient properly, by cleaning and bandaging the lesion until the worm has been fully removed manually and by providing health education to discourage the patient from contaminating any water source (if two or more emerging worms are present, transmission is not contained until the last worm is removed); and 4) the containment process, including verification of dracunculiasis, is validated by a supervisor within 7 days of emergence of the worm.

transmission. Reporting rates are calculated by dividing the number of villages with endemic dracunculiasis that report each month by the total number of villages with endemic disease. All villages where endemic transmission of dracunculiasis is interrupted (i.e., zero cases reported for 12 consecutive months) are kept under active surveillance with searches of households for persons with signs and symptoms suggestive of dracunculiasis. This is done to ensure that detection occurs within 24 hours of worm emergence so that patient management can begin to prevent contamination of water. WHO certifies a country free from dracunculiasis after it maintains adequate nationwide surveillance for 3 consecutive years and demonstrates that no cases of indigenous dracunculiasis occurred during that period. As of October 2009, WHO had certified 187 countries and territories as free from dracunculiasis (5); 17 African countries, including four with endemic transmission, remained to be certified.

Country Reports
Sudan. Since 2003, all indigenous cases of dracunculiasis in Sudan have been reported from Southern Sudan. The Southern Sudan Guinea Worm Eradication Program (GWEP) reported 2,733 cases of dracunculiasis in 2009, of which 2,134 (78%) were contained (Table 1). For JanuaryJune 2010, the Southern Sudan GWEP reported a provisional total of 745 cases (74% contained, versus 72% contained during JanuaryJune 2009), a reduction of 37%, compared with the 1,184 cases reported for the same period in 2009 (Table 2). During 2009, a total of 1,011 villages reported one or more cases; during JanuaryJune 2010, a total of 380 villages reported one or more cases, of which 141 reported indigenous cases. During JanuaryApril 2010, the Southern Sudan Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF), and other partners completed borehole wells in 43 villages that had endemic dracunculiasis.

MMWR Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report

What is already known on this topic? Annual cases of dracunculiasis (Guinea worm disease) have decreased from 3.5 million to <3,200 since the 1986 World Health Assembly proclaimed eradication as a goal. What is added by this report? The number of dracunculiasis cases continued to decline (by 31% from 2008 to 2009, and by 47% from JanuaryJune 2009 to JanuaryJune 2010), and only four countries remain with endemic transmission of dracunculiasis. What are the implications for public health practice? Although earlier target dates for global dracunculiasis eradication were missed, progress continues; eradication within the next few years is likely if 100% of cases are contained and program disruptions, particularly in Sudan and Mali, are minimized.

JanuaryJune 2010, a total of 14 security incidents (e.g., civil disorder, banditry, or other situations involving violence or threat of violence) disrupted Guinea worm program operations in Southern Sudan, compared with 23 such incidents during JanuaryJune 2009. Ghana. Ghanas GWEP reported 242 cases of dracunculiasis from 33 villages for 2009, of which 19 villages reported indigenous cases and the remaining villages reported cases imported from elsewhere in the country. This is a reduction in indigenous cases of 52%, compared with the 501 cases reported for 2008. Of the 242 cases reported for 2009, 93% were contained (Table 1). Ghana reported zero cases for an entire month for the first time in November 2009. For JanuaryJune 2010, Ghana reported eight cases, all of which were contained, and zero cases were reported for June, compared with 228 cases reported for JanuaryJune 2009, a reduction of 96%. The last known uncontained case in Ghana occurred in July 2009. Mali. Malis GWEP reported 186 indigenous cases in 2009, which was a reduction of 55% from the 417 cases reported in 2008. Of the 186 reported cases for 2009, 135 (73%) were contained. Mali reported only one case (which was contained) during JanuaryJune 2010, compared with eight cases during JanuaryJune 2009, a reduction of 88%. Ethiopia. Reporting of indigenous cases resumed in 2008, after approximately 20 months with no known indigenous cases, and for 2009, Ethiopia

reported 24 indigenous cases, of which 19 (79%) were contained. For JanuaryJune 2010, Ethiopia reported 12 indigenous cases (83% contained) in seven villages, compared with 21 indigenous cases in eight villages (76% contained) during JanuaryJune 2009, a reduction of 43%. Beginning in January 2010, active surveillance was extended to all 71 known inhabited settlements of Gambella Regions Gog District, which is the only remaining focus of endemic disease in Ethiopia. Much of the remaining transmission appears to be from ponds along walking paths between the main population centers and dispersed farming communities. Inhabitants of all villages where cases were reported in 2009 or 2010 have been receiving health education, and cloth filters have been distributed to more than 93% of those households and pipe filters to at least 62% Unsafe water sources have been treated with larvicide at 89 (77%) of 117 targeted sites, including the seven villages reporting cases in 2010 and ponds along walking paths. Four of the seven villages now have at least one source of safe drinking water. Niger and Nigeria. Niger and Nigeria (10) reported zero indigenous cases of dracunculiasis during an entire year for the first time in 2009. Neither country reported cases during JanuaryJune 2010.

Editorial Note

Fewer than 3,200 cases of dracunculiasis were reported globally during 2009, the lowest annual total ever, and the number of countries in which the disease remained endemic was reduced from six to four in 2008. Of the remaining endemic countries, Mali and Ethiopia appear to be close to interrupting transmission, although Malis peak transmission season (JuneNovember) for 2010 was just beginning and insecurity has been a major concern in
The

peak transmission season varies for each country. The peak transmission season occurs during MarchSeptember in Ethiopia, during MarchOctober in Southern Sudan, during JuneOctober in Mali, and during NovemberApril in Ghana.

Malis remaining endemic area. Ghana might have interrupted transmission already, but interruption cannot be confirmed until 1 year after the last known case (i.e., mid-2011). The program in Southern Sudan continues to make progress despite several challenges, of which sporadic insecurity is the most important. Obtaining reports about persons purported to have dracunculiasis in areas free of the disease, properly investigating such reports, and promptly notifying local authorities is a challenge for all four countries. In October 2009, WHOs International Commission for the Certification of Dracunculiasis Eradication certified three more formerly-endemic countries (Benin, Mauritania, and Uganda) as being free of dracunculiasis transmission, bringing the total number of countries certified to 187, including nine formerly endemic countries since 1996. WHA has not established a new target date for eradication. A status report on the eradication program is expected to be submitted to WHA in May 2011.

Announcement
National Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month October 2010
October is National Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month, dedicated to educating patients and the public about what sudden cardiac arrest is and how to respond to a cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart suddenly stops beating, resulting in no blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Approximately 300,000 outof-hospital cardiac arrests occur each year in the United States, with a median reported survival-tohospital-discharge rate of 8% (1). Rapidly implementing the chain of survival model (2) can help increase the chances of survival from sudden cardiac arrest. The steps in the chain include activation of emergency medical services by calling 9-1-1, starting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), using an automated external defibrillator (AED), and acquiring appropriate care. This year marks the 50th anniversary of CPR; updated CPR guidelines will be released later this year by the American Heart Association (AHA). Additional information about sudden cardiac arrest is available from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute at http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/ health/dci/Diseases/scda/scda_whatis.html and from AHA at http://www.americanheart.org/presenter. jhtml?identifier=4741. Information about CPR is available from AHA at http://www.americanheart. org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4479. Additional information about heart disease and stroke is available from CDC at http://www.cdc.gov/dhdsp.

MMWR Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report

TABLE I. (Continued) Provisional cases of infrequently reported notifiable diseases (<1,000 cases reported during the preceding year) United States, week ending September 25, 2010 (38th week)*
: No reported cases. N: Not reportable. NN: Not Nationally Notifiable Cum: Cumulative year-to-date counts. * Incidence data for reporting years 2009 and 2010 are provisional, whereas data for 2005 through 2008 are finalized. Calculated by summing the incidence counts for the current week, the 2 weeks preceding the current week, and the 2 weeks following the current week, for a total of 5 preceding years. Additional information is available at http://www.cdc.gov/ncphi/disss/nndss/phs/files/5yearweeklyaverage.pdf. Not reportable in all states. Data from states where the condition is not reportable are excluded from this table except starting in 2007 for the domestic arboviral diseases, STD data, TB data, and influenza-associated pediatric mortality, and in 2003 for SARS-CoV. Reporting exceptions are available at http://www.cdc.gov/ncphi/disss/nndss/phs/infdis.htm. Includes both neuroinvasive and nonneuroinvasive. Updated weekly from reports to the Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, National Center for Zoonotic, Vector-Borne, and Enteric Diseases (ArboNET Surveillance). Data for West Nile virus are available in Table II. ** Data for H. influenzae (all ages, all serotypes) are available in Table II. Updated monthly from reports to the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention. Implementation of HIV reporting influences the number of cases reported. Updates of pediatric HIV data have been temporarily suspended until upgrading of the national HIV/AIDS surveillance data management system is completed. Data for HIV/AIDS, when available, are displayed in Table IV, which appears quarterly. Updated weekly from reports to the Influenza Division, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. Since April 26, 2009, a total of 286 influenza-associated pediatric deaths associated with 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus infection have been reported. Since August 30, 2009, a total of 281 influenza-associated pediatric deaths occurring during the 200910 influenza season have been reported. A total of 133 influenza-associated pediatric deaths occurring during the 2008-09 influenza season have been reported. No measles cases were reported for the current week. *** Data for meningococcal disease (all serogroups) are available in Table II. CDC discontinued reporting of individual confirmed and probable cases of 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus infections on July 24, 2009. During 2009, three cases of novel influenza A virus infections, unrelated to the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus, were reported to CDC. The one case of novel influenza A virus infection reported to CDC during 2010 was identified as swine influenza A (H3N2) virus and is unrelated to pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus. Total case count for 2009 was provided by the Influenza Division, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD). In 2009, Q fever acute and chronic reporting categories were recognized as a result of revisions to the Q fever case definition. Prior to that time, case counts were not differentiated with respect to acute and chronic Q fever cases. No rubella cases were reported for the current week. **** Updated weekly from reports to the Division of Viral and Rickettsial Diseases, National Center for Zoonotic, Vector-Borne, and Enteric Diseases. Updated weekly from reports to the Division of STD Prevention, National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention. There was one case of viral hemorrhagic fever reported during week 12. The one case report was confirmed as lassa fever. See Table II for dengue hemorrhagic fever.
