Such associations could represent a cohort effect related to infection in the past or could be a result of ongoing low incidence of HEV infection resulting in cumulative exposure to infection over time.
Though HCV prevalence among adults in Egypt is well characterized, the level of ongoing HCV incidence and relative contribution of various transmission routes remain uncertain and a subject of discussion.
Given the high incidence of HRV infections and ongoing exposure to other circulating (sero types, molecular characterisation is required to clearly document HRV persistence [27].
While few sleeping sickness cases have been reported in Kenya since the late 1960s and early 1970s, cattle infection remains an economic burden and there is ongoing incidence of disease across the border in south-eastern Uganda.
Most of the treatment-related AEs were observed beginning on the day of injection and only a few were observed beginning beyond day 7 after the injection; all resolved by the end of study (with the exception of 1 ongoing incidence of contusion [bruising]), and the mean duration was 2 to 3 weeks for most AEs within both periods.
Active surveillance has often demonstrated a significant impact on reducing CP-CRE incidences, but remains a subject of ongoing debate [ 73].
There are at least several factors contributing to the ongoing high incidence of IPV in communities of color.
It will therefore be interesting to find out whether adjuvant imatinib therapy used with thrombolytic tPA in ischemic stroke patients leads to a decrease in the incidence of poststroke seizures and epilepsy (ongoing I-STROKE clinical trial, European Stroke Network).
Increasing medical and public awareness of sustained weight loss, increased ease of recovery, and lowered complications with newer laparoscopic surgical procedures and the ongoing increased incidence of obesity have contributed to a 15-fold increase in bariatric surgical procedures in the past decade, with estimates of >200,000 procedures having been performed in the United States in 2007 (4).
Studies involving concomitant longitudinal follow-up of weather patterns, indoor resting densities of vectors, and malaria incidence are ongoing in highland sites in Kenya and Uganda to clarify and quantify epidemic-triggering mechanisms (22 ).
