    INTRODUCTION: There is consensus that global health needs a new power and incentive structure and academia must benefit society more directly. However, there are few metrics to help academic global health partnerships enact these changes.This study evaluates the impact of the Botswana - University of Pennsylvania Partnership (BUP) between July 2018 and June 2023, through the lenses of academic productivity, global health decolonisation and social…

  • Electrolyte abnormalities and clinical outcomes in children aged one month to 13 years hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis in two large referral hospitals in Botswana

    Open AccessAnita A Kinasha, Jeffrey M Pernica et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is a common childhood disease, with a median of 2.5 diarrhoea episodes per child per year in both low- and middle-income countries. Morbidity and mortality from AGE result from a number of causes, including electrolyte abnormalities. This study characterized children hospitalized for AGE in Botswana with and without electrolyte abnormalities. This was a prospective observational study of children under the age of 13 ye…

  • Maternal and neonatal IgG against Klebsiella pneumoniae are associated with lower risk of neonatal sepsis

    Open AccessSiqi Linsey Zhang, Carolyn McGann et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Sepsis is the leading postnatal cause of neonatal mortality worldwide. Globally Klebsiella pneumoniae is the leading cause of sepsis in hospitalized neonates. This study reports the development and evaluation of an ELISA for anti- Klebsiella IgG using dried blood spot (DBS) samples and evaluates the association of anti- Klebsiella IgG (anti-Kleb IgG) antibodies in maternal and neonatal samples with the risk of neonatal sepsis. Neonates and their …

  • Near-term pregnant women in the Dominican Republic experience high rates of Group B Streptococcus rectovaginal colonization with virulent strains

    Open AccessKatherine M Laycock, Francia Acosta et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Maternal colonization with Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is an important cause of stillbirth, prematurity, and serious infection and death in infants worldwide. Resource constraints limit prevention strategies in many regions. Maternal GBS vaccines in development could be a more accessible prevention strategy, but data on geographic variations in GBS clones are needed to guide development of a broadly effective vaccine. In the Dominican Republic (D…

  • Optimising the management of childhood acute diarrhoeal disease using a rapid test-and- treat strategy and/or Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938

    Open AccessJeffrey M Pernica, Tonya Arscott-Mills et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    Introduction The study aim was to determine if rapid enteric diagnostics followed by the provision of targeted antibiotic therapy (‘test-and-treat’) and/or Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 would improve outcomes in children hospitalised in Botswana with acute gastroenteritis. Methods This was a multicentre, randomised, factorial, controlled, trial. Children aged 2–60 months admitted for acute non-bloody diarrhoea to four hospitals in southern Bots…

  • Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization among HIV-infected adults in Botswana

    M J A Reid, Andrew P Steenhoff et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017

    We sought to determine the clinical and epidemiologic determinants of Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization in HIV-infected individuals at two outpatient centers in southern Botswana. Standard microbiologic techniques were used to identify S. aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). In a sample of 404 HIV-infected adults, prevalence of S. aureus nasal carriage was 36.9% (n = 152) and was associated with domestic overcrowding and lowe…
