Summary: The paper describes an information system designed to
collectepidemiological data relevant for assessing the risk ofinfectious
disease, primarily tuberculosis. It accounts forCroatia's epidemiological
situation and compares it with that ofother European countries. The workers
exposed to field living andworking conditions, are higher risk groups. They
run not only therisk of other disease, but as well of Legionnaire's
disease.Other topics covered are risks of TB among immigrants to Croatiaand
among the young health workers treating and diagnosingtuberculosis.
Measures for controlling and preventing TB aredescribed.
Keywords: case notification, tuberculosis, TB and pulmonary disease service, epidemilogy, control and prevention measures

Summary: The paper describes an information system based on which
data oninfectious disease trends in Croatia is gathered. A part dealswith
its war-time operation and the introduction of dailyreporting on infectious
diseases. The latter includes diseasemonitoring among refugees and
displaced persons. 1991 saw the theepidemiological situation in Croatia
dealing primerily withtuberculosis. It examines the influence of war
developments onthe risk od disease and changed incidence and prevalence
ofdisease resulting from vast population migrations.

Summary: There has been one case of pulmonary tuberculosis, in
whomdirect immunofluorescent examination of bronchial washingrevealed L.
pneumophila as well 52 of the 124 patients in theCenter were randomly
choosed. Teir sera were taken for estimationof antibodies to L. pneumophila
and L. micdadei. 3 patients(5,8%) had antibodies to L. pneumophila. The two
of them hadantibodies to type 1 L.pneumophila with titers of 1:64 and
1:256.The third patient had antibodies to type 6 L. pneumophila withtiter
of 1:128. No signs of the illness were observed. 4 patients(7,7%) had
antibodies to L. micdadei with titer of 1:64. Theresults obatained in the
group of dalysis patients were comparedto those obtained in the group of
336 vounteer blood donors fromCroatia. No statistically significant
differences were found.

Summary: The paper reviews Croation and foreign studies on the
etiology ofLegionnaire's disease. It explains legionnella's
habitat,favorable conditions to its growth and replication and its routesof
transmission. Also cited is our discovery of a hithertounknown transmission
route of the infection, i.e. compressed airsystem. Along with a description
of susceptible population, alsogiven are other characteristics of a
legionnaire's diseaseoutbreak and necessary epidemic control measures based
on ourexperience of controlling such outbreaks in hotels. There is aspecial
emphasis on preventive antiepidemic measures to forestallthe outbreak.

Summary: Totally 131 standard plate count bacteria were isolated
fromdrinking water and untreated surface water and identifiedaccording to a
shema developted to permit rapid, simpleclassification of microorganisms to
genius, species , or group.Actinomycetes and Aeromonas species were the two
most commongroups of bacteria in chlorinated distribution water.
Aeromonasspp. and Acinetobacter spp. were the two most common groups
ofbacteria in raw water. Water that contained high densities ofbacteria
known to be antagonistic to coliforms had low coliformisolation rates. The
membrane filtration technique forenumerating bacteria recovered
significantly higher numbers thanthe standard pour plate technique.

Summary: The paper discribes an infectious disease notification
system. Itis a necessary basis for the earliest possible observation
ofrisks, the earliest possible intervention and for outbreakcontrol
measures. Also, it is the only way to check theeffectiveness of the
measures taken in controlling an outbreak orachieving prevention. The next
topic is the actual operation ofthis information system. Some hazardous
diseases, likehemorrhagic fever, malaria, cholera and Legionnaire's
disease,require notification of helth authorities by phone, fax ormessenger
besides the conventional way. Nationally (CroationNationl Institute of
Public Health), the prime purpose of theentire system is to give an insight
into the epidemiologilcalsituation, enable interventions in certain
circumstances, connectepidemiological events across the Republic of
Croatia. It is alsonecessary to link it with the world-wide information
system topermit an exchange of information regarding the
epidemiologicalsituation.

Summary: In the period 1989-92 1,153 patients aged above 7 years
anddiagnosed with primary pneumonia were admitted. 15 (1.3%) of themhad
Legionnaires' disease. Legionella pnumophila was confirmedserologically in
all by using indirect immunofluorescence (IFA)method. In one patient it was
also shown by directimmunofluorescence in cough swab. Whereas diagnosis was
used onlyin 185/1153 pnumonia cases, the causative agent was proved in8.1%.
All cases were sporadic. 14 males and 1 female wereinvolved. The patients
mainly manifested the signs of atypicalpneumonia. While all had a fever
above 39o C, 11 had atemperature of 40o C. All patients also suffered from
headacheand dry cough; 11 patients had myalgia. On the other hand,stabbing
chest pain and catarrhal symptoms were present in onepatient only.
Sedimentation was accelerated in all. Increasedlevels of transaminase,
creatine phosphokinase and lacticdehydrogenase were reported in 50%.
Electrophoresis revealedincreased alfa-2 values in all patients.
Hyponatremia wasobserved in 12 cases. A C-reactive protein in excess of 200
mg/Lwas found in 5 of the 6 in whom the study was done. Since apartfrom
epidemiological indicators, some clinical indicators arealso capable of
pointing to the legionnaire's disease,etiological diagnosis needs to be
done more often.
