Infectious Disease Concerns in 2019

There is always a possibility of an unknown pathogen emerging and wreaking havoc at any given time in an any part of the world. But any infection considered to be a national or global threat in some year can be eliminated in the other. Still, professionals from health care community have a pretty good idea of which specific pathogens, or risk factors could contribute to some upcoming major outbreak in 2019.

Antibiotic Resistance

When asked to any Specialist or expert regarding their fear of infectious diseases and what they tell is antibiotic resistance, which is an important public health threat which can lead to several deleterious effects.

Vaccine Hesitancy

The emerging hesitancy of vaccinating could lead to the re-emergence of infectious diseases which have been previously eliminated. Studies report that several cities are vulnerable to measles because of opposition to vaccination. 

Candida Auris
 

Candida Auris was amongst the most emerging infection of 2018 and continues to be the same in 2019 as well. It is a type of yeast, particularly pesky as it is oftenly multidrug-resistant, outbreak-prone in health care-related settings, clever and difficult to identify. There have been nearly 500 cases in the United States in the month of December, 2018.As per the research it is easily transmitted and can readily contaminate health care environments. It’s difficult to treat and causes severe infections like invasive candidiasis.
 

The Opioid Epidemic

Experts warn that the opioid epidemic could be amongst the major culprit of the next major infectious disease outbreak. People injecting drugs are also at a higher risk of contracting hepatitis and HIV, and MRSA bloodstream infections or cellulitis at the site of injection.  And now clinicians are even tracking the orally administered opioids for their consequences.

Ebola and Other Hemorrhagic Fevers

With increment in Ebola cases, the infectious disease community has been particularly focusing on its outbreak. The current uncontrolled outbreak, the funding issues, and the long-term efficacy of the developed vaccine are sure to keep the Ebola virus at the top of outbreaks in 2019 as well. Other hemorrhagic fevers like Lassa Fever in Nigeria and Marburg are also garnering some public attention because of their high fatality rate in humans.
