Abstract Background Combination vaccines reduce the number of injections and improve the timeliness of vaccination coverage. US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations state that combination vaccines are generally preferred over equivalent individual component vaccines. Healthcare providers strongly influence parental decisions about vaccination. We sought a contemporary understanding of physician’s attitudes towards combination vaccine use in infants. Methods We conducted an online survey of US physicians (70 pediatricians and 30 family practitioners) who administer vaccines to infants aged 0-24 months and spend at least 2 days a week providing patient care. Information was collected on attitudes towards combination vaccines and factors that influence the choice of combination vaccine used in clinical practice. Descriptive analyses were performed. Results Physicians (mean age=50.2 years, range 30.0-70.0; 66% white; 37% women) reported a median of 4 injections (range 2-9) as the maximum that parents would accept at a single visit, and 71% routinely explained what combination vaccines are to parents. When deciding which pentavalent vaccine to use, physicians considered how the brand fits into the current vaccine schedule (71%); upfront purchase costs (64%); and availability as a prefilled syringe (61%). The main reasons for using combination vaccines were to reduce the number of injections (96%); ensure the infant is up-to-date with vaccinations (86%); and reduce the pain that the infant experiences with multiple injections (68%). More than half reported that their institution or practice has a program to incentivize infant vaccination according to schedule. If a hexavalent vaccine-based schedule was available, 76% of physicians said they would choose it over their current schedule comprising pentavalent or equivalent component vaccines. Conclusion Choice of pentavalent combination vaccine among pediatricians and family practitioners was largely dependent on convenience and cost-related factors. Over three-quarters would be inclined to use a hexavalent vaccine schedule if available. Disclosures Ya-Ting Chen, PhD, Merck & Co., Inc. (Employee, Shareholder) Xinyi Ng, PhD, Merck & Co., Inc.

Perianal Sepsis

Abstract Background The intersphincteric plane (ISP) is a potential space between the external and the internal anal sphincters. About 90% of the perianal sepsis is caused by an obstruction of the ducts of anal glands with subsequent secondary bacterial infection. The imaging modalities used to diagnose perianal sepsis are the ultrasound via endoanal and transperineal routes and magnetic resonance imaging. Objective  The study aimed to identify the various patterns of the ISP sepsis and their incidence among our study group and to clarify the significance of ISP in the pathogenesis of anorectal abscesses and various types of perianal fistula tracts, to optimize the surgical management. Methods Retrospective descriptive study in which 57 patients with an ISP sepsis were evaluated with full medical history, clinical exam, and ultrasound; the final diagnosis was based on combining the results of ultrasound, digital rectal examination under anesthesia, and the operative results. Results The current study showed many patterns of the ISP sepsis and estimated the incidence of each pattern among our study group; such patterns could be fistula tracts, sinus tracts, abscesses, intersphincteric abscess with supralevator extension, sinus with abscess formation, fistula with abscess formation, distension of the ISP with free pus, and other complex patterns like horse abscess, abscess with transsphincteric sinus, and ISP fistula/sinus with transsphincteric branches. Conclusion Understanding the role of the ISP in the pathogenesis of anorectal abscesses and perianal fistula tracts can help in reaching the optimum way of management.

Enamel Defects

β-Streptococcal infection and its sequelae did not play a significant role in the development of hypoplastic enamel defects. Hypoplastic enamel faults occurred that could not be related to any of the experimental procedures. A genetic or other component may influence the susceptibility of guinea pigs to hypoplastic enamel lesions.
