Epidemiology of tuberculosis in the EU/EEA in 2010 – monitoring the progress towards tuberculosis elimination
A Sandgren , V Hollo , E Huitric and C KödmönThe 2012 combined tuberculosis (TB) surveillance and monitoring report for the European Union and European Economic Area identifies a mean annual decline in TB notification rate by 4.4% from 2006 to 2010. Culture confirmation for new pulmonary cases and drug susceptibility testing have increased to 65.6% and 70.8%, but remain under their targets of 80% and 100%, respectively. Reporting of treatment outcome and co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus also remain suboptimal. Strengthened control practices are needed to allow progress towards TB elimination.

Early estimates of the effectiveness of the 2011/12 influenza vaccine in the population targeted for vaccination in Spain, 25 December 2011 to 19 February 2012
S Jiménez-Jorge , S de Mateo , F Pozo , I Casas , M García Cenoz , J Castilla , V Gallardo , E Pérez , T Vega , C Rodriguez , C Quiñones , E Martínez , J Giménez , J M Vanrell , D Castrillejo , M C Serrano , J M Ramos and A LarrauriWe present early estimates of influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) in the population targeted for vaccination, during 25 December 2011 to 19 February 2012. The adjusted VE was 55% (95% CI: 3 to 79) against any type of influenza virus and 54% (95% CI: 1 to 79) against influenza A(H3N2) virus. This suggests a moderate protective effect of the vaccine in the targeted population in a late influenza epidemic with limited match between vaccine and circulating strains.

Tick-borne encephalitis transmitted by unpasteurised cow milk in western Hungary, September to October 2011
S Caini , K Szomor , E Ferenczi , Á Székelyné Gáspár , Á Csohán , K Krisztalovics , Z Molnár and J K HorváthIn October 2011, a cluster of four tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) cases was identified in Hungary. Initial investigations revealed a possible link with consumption of unpasteurised cow milk sold by a farmer without authorisation. We performed a cohort study including all regular customers of the farmer. Overall, eleven cases (seven confirmed and four suspected) were identified. Customers who had consumed the farmer's unpasteurised cow milk had more than a two-fold increased risk for being a TBE case, although not at statistically significant level.
