Journal ArticleDOI
Water quality indicators and the risk of illness at beaches with nonpoint sources of fecal contamination.
John M. Colford,Timothy J. Wade,Kenneth Schiff,Catherine C. Wright,John F. Griffith,Sukhminder K. Sandhu,Susan Burns,Mark D. Sobsey,Greg L. Lovelace,Stephen B. Weisberg +9 more
TL;DR: Traditional fecal indicators currently used to monitor these beaches were not associated with health risks, and a need for alternative indicators of water quality where nonpoint sources are dominant fecal contributors is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Did a Severe Flood in the Midwest Cause an Increase in the Incidence of Gastrointestinal Symptoms
Timothy J. Wade,Sukhminder K. Sandhu,Deborah A. Levy,Sherline Lee,Mark W. LeChevallier,Louis Katz,John M. Colford +6 more
TL;DR: An increase in the incidence of gastrointestinal symptoms during the flood was observed, and this effect was pronounced among persons with potential sensitivity to infectious gastrointestinal illness and among children.
Journal ArticleDOI

John M. Colford,Timothy J. Wade,Timothy J. Wade,Sukhminder K. Sandhu,Sukhminder K. Sandhu,Catherine C. Wright,Sherline Lee,Susan Shaw,Kim R. Fox,Susan Burns,Anne Benker,M. Alan Brookhart,Mark J. van der Laan,Deborah A. Levy +13 more
TL;DR: No reduction in gastrointestinal illness was detected after in-home use of a device designed to be highly effective in removing microorganisms from water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chart-Confirmed Guillain-Barré Syndrome After 2009 H1N1 Influenza Vaccination Among the Medicare Population, 2009–2010
Laura L. Polakowski,Sukhminder K. Sandhu,David Martin,Robert Ball,Thomas E. MaCurdy,Riley L. Franks,Jonathan Gibbs,Garner F. Kropp,Armen Avagyan,Jeffrey A. Kelman,Christopher M. Worrall,Guoying Sun,Rebecca Kliman,Dale R. Burwen +13 more
TL;DR: The results showed an elevated risk of GBS with 2009 monovalent H1N1 vaccination, slightly higher than that seen with previous seasonal influenza vaccines; however, additional results that used a stricter case definition (Brighton level 1 or 2) were not statistically significant, and the ability to account for preceding respiratory/gastrointestinal illness was limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Natural History of Antibody Responses to Cryptosporidium Parasites in Men at High Risk of HIV Infection
Sukhminder K. Sandhu,Jeffrey W. Priest,Patrick J. Lammie,Alan Hubbard,John M. Colford,Joseph N. S. Eisenberg +5 more
TL;DR: It is emphasized that Cryptosporidium infections are common in this population of HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals and further studies are needed to adequately examine the effect of CD4 cell count.
