Malaria Technical Committee Ministry of Health, Paramaribo, Suriname Background: The activities and habits of small to medium scale gold miners -and their interaction with both the environment and the local population- are recognized as one of the main determinants of the current occurrence and dispersion of malaria in the Amazon Region. Gold miners are the group with highest risk for malaria in the region. Their exploration techniques are based on damming creeks and rivers, to provide water that is used in high pressure hoses, to dig for gold. This practice, multiplies the potential breeding sites of the main vectors in the region. We assessed the malaria prevalence in gold mining areas in Suriname. Methods: Mass screening and treatment for malaria was conducted in 4 main gold mining areas in Suriname. A standardized national malaria form was used to collect the information. Malaria blood films were stained with 4% Giemsa and read using microscopy (1000X). 100 microscopic thick film fields were inspected before a slide was being declared malaria negative. For positivemalaria smears, parasite species were identified and treatment was given following the national malaria protocol. Results: Between June and October, 2009, there were 2543 people screened for malaria in 4 main gold mining areas in Suriname. These 4 areas had 261 gold mining camps (Victoria:26; Benzdorp:88; Sellacreek:79; Maku:68). Sixty-six percent of the people seen were Brazilian. Malaria infections were reported among 85 people with an overall prevalence of 3%. There were 42, 40 and 3 cases of Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax and P. malariae, respectively. Parasite specific prevalence ranged from 1-4%(Pf), 1-3%(Pv) and

Stamboulian 1 1 CEDECEM, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2 CEDECEM, BUENOS AIRES, Argentina Background: To describe a on line-second opinion consultation system (SOC) in a telemedicine program (TP) for public hospitals in Argentina (PHA). Methods: A TP for physicians and nurses (HCW) of PHA was started in April 2002. At each PHA, the TP designates a local medical coordinator, an administrative assistant and provides a computer and Internet connection. A specially designed secure website gives HCW free access to medical education (ME) and SOC. SOC have been designed as a complement to ME but their main purpose is to provide rapid access to experts’ opinion on complex medical situations. SOC presented by HCW are received by the local TP coordinator, who replies or transfers SOC to the TP headquarters, to be evaluated by the TP Area Directors, who can reply, ask for additional information, or direct the SOC to an external consultant. Results: Up to 10/31/09, 13.989 HCW (6.150 physicians, 5.846 nurses and 1.993 others) from 50 PHA have received ME and access to SOC in our TP. A total of 9.028 SOC have been processed in the period: 3.204 (35.4 %) on pediatricians (P), 1.651 (18 %) on perinatologist (Pe) and 3.192 (35.3 %) on adults (A). Average reply time is 37 hs. Most frecuents topics in SOC about P deal with vaccines, use of antibiotics, HIV, infection control, pneumonia; skin and soft tissue infections, inmunocompromised host, TB, chickenpox; in A: HIV, bone and joint infections, non-HIV inmunocompromised host infections, severe inmfectious diseases from tthe comunity; skin and soft tissue infections, epidemiologic questions, CNS infections, antibiotics and in Pe: sepsis, epidemiology, nosocomial infections, fever in the newborn, antibiotcs, syphilis, toxoplasmosis, puerperal infections, exposure to infections, antibiotics, early membrane rupture and preterm pregnancy. Conclusion: Our TP has organized a network of HCW at PHA actively engaged in scientific knowledge exchange, and SOC prove to be an effective tool as a complement to ME and to help HCW solve complex medical situations locally.
