Mapping the distribution of tuberculosis cases and associated factors identified through routine program implementation and community-based active screening in Central Ethiopia
The study revealed a heterogenous distribution of smear positive TB in the study area and it could act as a model that can be replicated in other regions. The identified hotspots of TB could be targeted through location-based interventions such as systematic active screening in the form of outreach programs to improve the performance of TB prevention and control, including reducing the transmission of TB. Educational status, family size and housi…
Drug resistance patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and associated factors among retreatment cases around Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia
The overall prevalence of MDR-TB among re-treatment cases around Jimma was high. The rate of MDR-TB was higher in patients with the history of anti-TB treatment failure. Timely identification and referral of patients with the history of treatment failure for culture and DST need to be strengthened
Tuberculosis lymphadenitis in Southwest Ethiopia
The prevalence of TB lymphadenitis in Gilgel Gibe is similar with the WHO estimates for Ethiopia. Screening of TB lymphadenitis particularly for family members who have contact with chronic coughers is recommended. Health extension workers could be trained to screen and refer TB lymphadenitis suspects using simple methods
Prejudice and misconceptions about tuberculosis and HIV in rural and urban communities in Ethiopia
TB/HIV control programs in collaboration with other partners should invest more in social mobilization and education of the communities to rectify the widespread prejudice and misconceptions
