Hi Maureen
VRE is a notifiable disease in Tasmania. We have seen VanA being detected in Tasmania for the past few years, however these represent a very small proportion – compared to VanB. We have not noticed any recent increase.

Hello Maureen,
We have had one patient in 2013 from whose bladder tissue, VRE Van A was isolated. This was a patient from a group home, 66 years of age who had acute on chronic renal failure and bladder Ca.
We had one patient in 2012 who was an 86 year old gentleman who had (L) kidney hydronephrosis and had VRE Van A isolated from his urine.
