Journal ArticleDOI

Rosalie T. Trevejo,José G. Rigau-Pérez,David A. Ashford,Emily M. McClure,Carlos Jarquín-González,Juan José Amador,José O. de los Reyes,Alcides Gonzalez,Sherif R. Zaki,Wun-Ju Shieh,Robert G. McLean,Roger S. Nasci,Robbin S. Weyant,Carole A. Bolin,Sandra L. Bragg,Bradley A. Perkins,Richard A. Spiegel +16 more
TL;DR: Leptospirosis should be included in the differential diagnosis for nonmalarial febrile illness, particularly during periods of flooding or when pulmonary hemorrhage occurs, according to a case-control study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Four Commercially Available Rapid Serologic Tests for Diagnosis of Leptospirosis
Mary D. Bajani,David A. Ashford,Sandra L. Bragg,Christopher W. Woods,Tin Aye,Richard A. Spiegel,Brian D. Plikaytis,Bradley A. Perkins,Maureen Phelan,Paul N. Levett,Robbin S. Weyant +10 more
TL;DR: The ease of use and significantly high sensitivity and specificity of DST and ELISA make these good choices for diagnostic testing, which were quite close to the LCA estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eileen Schneider,Rana A. Hajjeh,Richard A. Spiegel,Randall W. Jibson,Edwin L. Harp,Grant Marshall,Grant Marshall,Robert A. Gunn,Michael M. McNeil,Robert W. Pinner,Roy C. Baron,Ronald C. Burger,Lori Hutwagner,Casey Crump,Casey Crump,Leo Kaufman,Susan E. Reef,Gary M. Feldman,Demosthenes Pappagianis,S. Benson Werner +19 more
TL;DR: Both the location and timing of cases strongly suggest that the coccidioidomycosis outbreak in Ventura County was caused when arthrospores were spread in dust clouds generated by the earthquake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adverse events in humans associated with accidental exposure to the livestock brucellosis vaccine RB51.
David A. Ashford,Jennifer di Pietra,Jairam R. Lingappa,Christopher W. Woods,Heather Noll,Bridget Neville,Robbin S. Weyant,Sandra L. Bragg,Richard A. Spiegel,Jordan W. Tappero,Bradley A. Perkins +10 more
TL;DR: It remains undetermined if strain RB51 vaccine can cause systemic brucellosis in humans, and early culture attempts on those exposed and developing disease in the future and serologic diagnostic assays for anti-RB-51 antibodies are needed to define if these adverse events are due to RB51 and to define appropriate prophylaxis regimens.
