Chronic Arsenic Exposure

The well-documented fact that chronic arsenic exposure can lead to skin lesions, atherosclerotic diseases and cancers. The findings of association between arsenic exposure and diabetes mellitus indicate additional risk to human health. The aim of this study was to observe the association of chronic arsenic exposure from drinking water and risk of development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. To this end, a cross-sectional study was conducted in Comilla district of Bangladesh where ground water is heavily contaminated with arsenic. The individuals unexposed to arsenic were recruited from the Jhenaidah district. People with arsenic-related skin lesions were defined as subjects exposed to arsenic. Diabetes was defined if fasting blood glucose (FBG)>6.1 mmol/L following World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. The common odds ratio for diabetes mellitus among subjects exposed to arsenic was 3.5 (95% confidence interval 1.1-10.9). After adjustment for age, sex and BMI, the Mantel-Haenszel weighted prevalence ratio was 3.5 (95% CI: 1.1-11.1); 3.7 (95% CI: 1.1-11.8) and 4.4 (95% CI: 1.1-17.2) respectively. The indicated relationships were significant (P<0.05). The observations suggested, chronic arsenic exposure through drinking water may be a risk factor of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract Background: There is no human data regarding exposure, metabolism and potential health effects of arsenic (As) contamination in drinking water in the Central Anatolian region, Turkey. Methods: Residents in the 10 villages with drinking water total As (T-As) level >50 µg/L and 10-50 µg/L were selected as an exposed group (n=420) and, <10 µg/L as a control group (n=185). Time-weighted average-As (TWA-As) intakes were calculated from T-As analysis of drinking water samples (DWS). Other metals in DWS, concentrations of T-As in urine and hair samples, urinary As species (S-As) (As (III), As (V), MMA-V and DMA-V), and some micronutrients in serum samples of residents were analyzed. Primary and secondary methylation indexes (PMI, SMI; respectively) were assessed from S-As concentrations. . Skin lesion presence was examined. Results: TWA-As intake was 75.15 ppb in exposed group. Urinary and hair T-As and urinary S-As concentrations were significantly higher in exposed group (p<0.05). PMI and SMI values are revealed that methylation capacities of the residents were efficient and there was no saturation in As metabolism. No significant increase was observed in the frequency of skin lesions (hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, keratosis) of exposed group (p>0.05). Only frequency of keratosis either at hand or foot was higher in individuals with hair As concentration >1 µg/g (p<0.05).Conclusion: Current study findings of chronic As exposure through drinking water of individuals living in the study area, could contribute to overall health risk assessment of regulatory agencies’ meta-analysis efforts on low-to moderate As exposure (<100 µg/L).

Cat-Scratch Disease (CSD) is a benign lymphadenitis that may progress to severe or recurrent forms, and it is occasionally associated with morbidity. Between January of 1998 and March of 1999, forty-three suspected CSD patients were assessed in the Hospital Cayetano Heredia and the Instituto de Salud del Niño, in Lima, Peru. Twelve patients had a confirmed diagnosis, 8 of whom were women, and the mean age was 10 years old. The majority (53%) of the cases were encountered in the summer. All patients reported having had contact with cats. Fever, malaise, lymphadenopathy and skin lesions were the most frequent clinical features. Twelve patients had indirect immunofluorescence antibody test titers of between 1/50 and 1/800 for Bartonella henselae and Bartonella clarridgeiae. Two lymph node biopsies were histologically compatible with CSD. No positive blood cultures could be obtained. This is the first Peruvian prospective study able to identify B. henselae and B. clarridgeiae in pediatric patients.
