  • Enhancing Sars-CoV-2 surveillance in Malawi using telephone syndromic surveillance from July 2020 to April 2022

    Open AccessGodfrey Woelk, Thulani Maphosa et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    INTRODUCTION: Monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in low-resource countries such as Malawi requires cost-effective surveillance strategies. This study explored the potential utility of phone-based syndromic surveillance in terms of its reach, monitoring trends in reported SARS-CoV-2-like/influenza-like symptoms (CLS/ILS), SARS-CoV-2 testing and mortality. METHODS: Mobile phone-based interviews were conducted between 1 July 2020 and 30 April 2022, …

  • Covid-19 mortality sentinel surveillance at a tertiary referral hospital in Lusaka, Zambia, 2020–2021

    Open AccessJonas Z Hines, Priscilla Kapombe et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Deaths from COVID-19 likely exceeded official statistics in Zambia because of limited testing and incomplete death registration. We describe a sentinel COVID-19 mortality surveillance system in Lusaka, Zambia. We analyzed surveillance data on deceased persons of all ages undergoing verbal autopsy (VA) and COVID-19 testing at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) mortuary in Lusaka, Zambia, from April 2020 through August 2021. VA was done by surv…

  • Trends in Sars-CoV-2 seroprevalence among pregnant women attending first antenatal care visits in Zambia

    Open AccessElizabeth Heilmann, Tannia Tembo et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    SARS-CoV-2 serosurveys help estimate the extent of transmission and guide the allocation of COVID-19 vaccines. We measured SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among women attending ANC clinics to assess exposure trends over time in Zambia. We conducted repeated cross-sectional SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence surveys among pregnant women aged 15–49 years attending their first ANC visits in four districts of Zambia (two urban and two rural) during September 2021-S…

  • Prevalence of and factors associated with late diagnosis of HIV in Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe

    Open AccessAndreas D Haas, Elizabeth Radin et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Introduction Late diagnosis of HIV (LD) increases the risk of morbidity, mortality, and HIV transmission. We used nationally representative data from population-based HIV impact assessment (PHIA) surveys in Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe (2015–2016) to characterize adults at risk of LD and to examine associations between LD and presumed HIV transmission to cohabiting sexual partners. Methods We estimated the prevalence of LD, defined as CD4 count R…

  • Protocol for a Case-Control Study to Investigate the Association of Pellagra With Isoniazid Exposure During Tuberculosis Preventive Treatment Scale-Up in Malawi

    Open AccessScott A Nabity, Kelvin Mponda et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    Background: Pellagra is caused by niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency and manifested by a distinctive dermatitis. Isoniazid is critical for treating tuberculosis globally and is a component of most regimens to prevent tuberculosis. Isoniazid may contribute to pellagra by disrupting intracellular niacin synthesis. In 2017, Malawian clinicians recognized a high incidence of pellagra-like rashes after scale-up of isoniazid preventive treatment (IPT) to p…
