  • Diagnostic test accuracy of teleretinal screening for cytomegalovirus retinitis among people living with HIV

    Open AccessHolijah Uy, Leandrea Nollora et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) remains a major cause of preventable blindness among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV), particularly in resource-limited settings where access to ophthalmologists is constrained. Teleretinal screening offers a practical strategy for early detection and timely referral, with the potential to prevent irreversible visual impairment. This review aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of teler…

  • Household economic burden of managing people living with HIV and comorbidities of hypertension and diabetes in La Nkwantanang-Madina Municipality, Ghana

    Open AccessRichmond Owusu, Esther Esi Degbor et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Managing HIV alongside chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes present significant economic challenges for households, especially in low-and middle-income countries. These chronic diseases not only reduce the quality of life of people living with HIV (PLHIV) but also further increase their economic burden. This study seeks to examine the economic burden of managing PLHIV with hypertension and diabetes comorbidities. The cross-section…

  • Longitudinal surveillance of group A streptococcal pharyngitis and impetigo in remote Western Australian school children informs acute rheumatic fever prevention

    Open AccessJanessa Pickering, Dylan D Barth et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The prevalence of impetigo and pharyngitis – which are both superficial group A streptococcus (GAS) infections that precede acute rheumatic fever – is poorly defined. Guidelines recommend the early diagnosis of both infections to prevent ARF; however, screening to enable the concurrent detection of these infections in high-risk populations has rarely been performed. In this observational cohort study, children attending one of two schools in the …
