SUMMARYBetween March and June 2008, 12 cases of hepatitis A were notified in Winchester. Cases were from a primary school and a nursery school with no direct linkage. Hepatitis A virus (HAV) RNA sequenced from nine cases confirmed the strain in both schools to be identical. The outbreak could have affected three other schools and a maternity unit and was controlled by immunization and screening of neonates in the maternity unit by dried blood spots. No neonates were infected and no further cases were reported until 5 months later when the index case's mother became infected with same strain of virus associated with the outbreak despite vaccination. Neither the source of the outbreak or the subsequent infection of the index case's mother was identified; however, with the timing of the cases continued transmission in the community by children with asymptomatic infection or a recurrent source cannot be ruled out.

SUMMARYThe transmission of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) among family members is not well understood. We identified 15 families in which multiple members were diagnosed with hMPV infection by real-time PCR in 2008 and 2010. Index patients ranged in age from 2 years to 11 years (median 5 years), and all 15 index cases were children who attended primary school, kindergarten, or nursery school. Contact patients ranged in age from 2 months to 46 years (median 6 years). Excluding five adult cases, contact patients were significantly younger than index patients (P = 0·0389). Of the 12 contact children, seven (58%) were infants who were taken care of at home. The serial interval between the onset of symptoms in an index patient and the onset of symptoms in a contact patient was estimated to be 5 days. These results suggest that the control of school-based outbreaks is important for preventing hMPV infection in infants.

Incidence Data

— A mixed study of prevalence and incidence of enuresis carried out at schools in the province of Sassari was planned over a 2-year period. 734 children aged between 3 and 11 years from 3 schools representative of the urban, suburban and rural areas of Sassari, were selected by “cluster” sampling. In this first stage of the project a study of prevalence on children aged 3, 6 and 9 years was carried out. The second stage encompassed a 2-year longitudinal study on those selected in the first stage and provided incidence data pertinent to children aged 4, 7 and 10 years. At the end of the second year of follow-up incidence data relative to children aged 5, 8 and 11 years will be available. Information about children's families and possible urologic disease was collected by means of a questionnaire. Urologic examination then followed. Cross sectional study. In the 73 children aged 3 years, who attended nursery schools, 7 cases of enuresis (9.6%) were ascertained. In the 306 6-year-old children of the first year of primary school, 22 cases of enuresis (7.2%) were observed. In the 355 9-year-old students of the fourth year of primary school, 10 cases (2.8%) were reported. Focusing on the geographical origin of the students, we observed 11 cases of enuresis (5.2%) in cluster I (suburban quarter), 11 cases (6.3%) in cluster II (urban area), and 17 cases (4.9%) in cluster III (rural area). Follow-up. No case of enuresis was observed among the nursery school children (aged 4 years); 2 new cases (0.7%) were ascertained in the 7-year-old group. In the group of children aged 10, only 1 new case (0.57%) was encountered. Taking into account the results of every single cluster, we observed 2 new cases (0.99%) in cluster I, one (0.61%) new case in cluster II and no cases in cluster III. Prevalence of enuresis reached 5.3% in the whole sample, showed a progressive decrease from the younger to the older age group (9.6% in 3-year-olds; 7.2% in 6-year-olds and 2.8% in 9-year-olds), with a clear though not significant male predominance. When data were analysed according to geographical “clusters” a higher prevalence of enuresis was observed among subjects living in the urban area (cluster II). Our results did not differ significantly from those collected by other Authors in similar surveys (Bloom 1993).

Abstract Introduction: This empirical study discusses the issue of compulsory pre-school education in the Slovak Republic from the viewpoint of the parents of children attending nursery school. The goal of the research is to establish the attitudes of presents to compulsory education a year before the child begins school. The research therefore works with two key concepts, this being the obligation of educating children before they begin primary school and “attitude” as a relatively stable assessment of the object to which it applies. Methods: A rating scale questionnaire of our own design was used to collect data. It was administered through a web interface. A five-level scale was used to apply a Likert scale and statements were classified into five dimensions. The research tool had 36 items following validation. The available sample was used to create the research sample. Data was collected in the Czech Republic and in Slovakia; the sample of parents from Slovakia consisted of 162 respondents. Each of the respondents had to have at least one child of pre-school age. When processing the research data the basic statistical characteristics were used, along with a non-parametric Friedman test. Calculations were executed in STATISTICA and SPSS software. Results: The surveyed parents attributed the appropriate importance to compulsory education a year before children begin primary school, they did not believe that implementation of this obligation would have any significant impact on the family’s life and appreciated its importance for their child’s subsequent education. They rated potential interference in the organisation and assurance of pre-school education, related to the newly originating obligation, as suitable and appropriate. They disagreed slightly with the academic focus of pre-school education. Discussion: The consensual opinion of the surveyed parents in regard to implementation of the obligation to educate children a year before they start primary school seems a good basis for realisation of this legislative amendment. In their attitudes, the parents incline towards the fact that compulsory education before starting primary school could help their children start their subsequent educational career, or could enable a smoother transition between the two levels of education. The structure of the research sample focused more on middle-class parents. Parents, due to whom this obligation was chiefly implemented, were not surveyed. It can be assumed that the situation will be similar in relation to attendance of nursery school. Limitations: The main limiting element in the presented research is the available sample of respondents for the research sample. Likewise, validation of the questionnaire, which passed through all the necessary phases, but ran up against the obstacle of the available time and personal availability of researchers and respondents during one phase. Conclusion: The results can be considered positive and no strongly disagreeing standpoints by middle class parents towards compulsory education at nursery school were registered. It would be very useful for further research to survey parents who are not mainstream and children who appear disadvantaged when starting nursery school, chiefly due to the attitude of these parents.
