The aim of the study was to compare pertussis surveillance systems in Europe
Abstract:
We compared pertussis surveillance systems of 16 European countries in the period 1998-2002. In twelve out of sixteen countries the system covered the general population. Ten countries relied on WHO case definition for surveillance of pertussis. Eleven countries applied laboratory tests, and eight of them used PCR for case confirmation. The proportion of hospitalised rates in children more...

The aim of this study was to examine intelligence in DSM-IV combined type attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is predicted by either dopamine receptor/transporter genes or other previously identified risk alleles
Abstract:
A major goal of genetic studies of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is to identify individual characteristics that might help segregate the disorder's inherent heterogeneity. [Mill et al. (2006); Arch Ger Psychiatry 63:462-469] recently reported a potentially important association between two dopamine-related risk polymorphisms (DRD4 variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) more...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the comparative sero-epidemiology of varicella zoster virus in 11 countries in the European region
Abstract:
The European sero-epidemiology network (ESEN2) aims to standardise serological surveillance of varicella zoster virus (VZV) in 11 participant countries. In each country, serum banks were collected between 1996 and 2003 and tested for VZV antibodies. Assay results were standardised so that international comparisons could be made. Age-specific forces of infection were calculated for three more...
