Abstract:
“Community-acquired” is often used to describe all infections acquired outside hospitals. This broad sense aggregates community habitats such as homes, workplaces, and leisure venues. Here, the term is used more restrictively, for day care and schools, public places, and the “general” population. Determinants of endemicity in communities include municipal utilities (tap water, sanitation, and garbage), age of primoinfection, carrier prevalence, and herd (collective) immunity. Poorly integrated or reached minorities can be significant community infection reservoirs. Infection is acquired from carriers in the community, inhalation, ingestion (catered events), or inoculation. Control and preventive measures should involve community members, e.g., participation in programs for safe water, sanitation, vaccination, and elimination of breeding sites. The majority of adults are immune to vaccine-preventable agents, from vaccination or natural infection. Risks in day care include crowding, poor hygiene by small children and untrained staff, and inadequate facilities. Pharyngeal carriage of respiratory agents is 2–5 times more frequent in children in day care than in control children. In day care, spread from skin contact and saliva (licking and drooling) is likely. Major community-acquired diseases include respiratory tract infection (RTI), diarrhea, and STI. Mother-to-child transmitted infections are included because agents can be acquired in the community and because of the potential for lifelong disability.
