We describe the epidemiology of invasive group B streptococcal (GBS) disease among non-pregnant Alaska adults using statewide surveillance data. During 2004-2023, 880 cases of invasive GBS disease were reported for an age-adjusted annual incidence of 9.1 (95% CI, 8.5-9.7) cases per 100,000 adults. Incidence increased 1.9-fold (95% CI, 1.6-2.2) between 2004-2013 and 2014-2023. Adults aged ≥65 years had a 4.4-fold higher risk of invasive disease compared to younger adults, and 47% of adults with invasive GBS had diabetes. Healthcare providers should be aware of populations at increased risk, potentially allowing for more prompt treatment.
我们利用全州监测数据描述了阿拉斯加非妊娠成年人侵袭性B族链球菌(GBS)疾病的流行病学情况。在2004年至2023年期间,共报告了880例侵袭性GBS疾病病例,年龄调整后的年发病率为每10万名成年人9.1例(95%置信区间,8.5 - 9.7)。2004 - 2013年至2014 - 2023年期间,发病率增加了1.9倍(95%置信区间,1.6 - 2.2)。与年轻成年人相比,65岁及以上的成年人患侵袭性疾病的风险高4.4倍,47%的侵袭性GBS成年患者患有糖尿病。医疗保健提供者应意识到风险增加的人群,这可能有助于更及时地进行治疗。
