Circle of Care: estimated 10 to 15 million people a year in the US CONTRACT EKC

An estimated 75,000-100,000 people in the United States die each year from a healthcare-associated infection (HAI).1 At any given time, about 1 in 20 patients have an infection while receiving healthcare treatment in U.S. hospitals. HAI in hospitals alone result in up to $33 billion in excess medical costs every year.2

Slide10

CDC MMWR 2013 411 EKC INFECTIONS

Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is a highly contagious, severe form of conjunctivitis (1). During 2008–2010, six unrelated EKC outbreaks associated with human adenovirus (HAdV) in four states were reported to CDC. In total, 411 EKC cases were identified in Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, and New Jersey. In each outbreak, health-care–associated transmission appeared to occur via ophthalmologic examination

Slide11

EKC is eNdemic in japan

Occurrence rates are in the millions per year in JapanJapan population is 126, 919,659U.S. Population is TRIPLE Japan’s.U.S. EKC rates are estimated at 10 to 15 million cases per year

Slide15

Best PracTices : Disinfection

 In view of the potential for transmission of viruses (e.g., herpes simplex virus [HSV], adenovirus 8, or HIV) 184 by tonometer tips, CDC recommended that the tonometer tips be wiped clean and disinfected for 5-10 minutes with either 3% hydrogen peroxide, 5000 ppm chlorine, 70% ethyl alcohol, or 70% isopropyl alcohol 95.  However, more recent data suggest that 3% hydrogen peroxide and 70% isopropyl alcohol are not effective against adenovirus capable of causing epidemic

keratoconjunctivitis and similar viruses and should not be used for disinfecting applanation tonometers 49, 185, 186.
