Multidrug resistance in bacteria causing community-acquired urinary tract infections among adult outpatients attending primary healthcare facilities in Mwanza, Tanzania
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common indication for antibiotic use among adult outpatients in low- and middle-income countries, yet data on community-acquired UTIs (CA-UTIs) and antimicrobial resistance at primary healthcare facilities remain limited. A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May to August 2024 at Igoma and Buzuruga Health Centres in Mwanza, Tanzania. Symptomatic adults without hospitalization within the p…
Health beliefs model and vaccine acceptance
Without vaccine, attaining herd immunity remains a global challenge. While medical personnel have been a focus of vaccine promotion and immunization improvement, non-medical personnel (NMPs) working in hospital settings remain understudied in Tanzania. Given their routine interaction with patients and healthcare workers, NMPs can play a crucial role in the transmission of infections. This study aimed to assess vaccine acceptance level in this vul…
Trends in Median Age at First Sex and Age at First Marriage Among Youth in Tanzania
Understanding trends in age of first sex and first marriage is vital for interventions addressing sexually transmitted infections (STIs/HIV) and youth sexual behavior. Shifts in these milestones affect fertility, contraceptive use, and STI/HIV dynamics. Traditional descriptive statistics often overlook younger populations, leading to inaccurate trend assessments. This study analyzed trends in median age at first sex and first marriage using survi…
Impact of temperature and humidity on Sars-CoV-2 transmissibility
Adherence to Hydroxyurea Therapy for Pediatric Sickle Cell Anemia in Tanzania
Hydroxyurea is effective in reducing the severity of Sickle cell anemia (SCA) symptoms, yet adherence remains challenging, particularly in resource-limited settings. Bugando Medical Centre, a major healthcare provider, faces undocumented adherence issues among its pediatric SCA patients. This study aims to evaluate the adherence rate to hydroxyurea therapy among caregivers of children with SCA at Bugando Medical Centre and identify factors contri…
Levels, trends and inequalities in mortality among 5–19-year-olds in Tanzania
Background: For the past two decades, health priorities in Tanzania have focussed on children under-five, leaving behind the older children and adolescents (5-19 years). Understanding mortality patterns beyond 5 years is important in bridging a healthy gap between childhood to adulthood. We aimed to estimate mortality levels, trends, and inequalities among 5-19-year-olds using population data from the Magu Health and Demographic Surveillance Site…
Treatment seeking and antibiotic use for urinary tract infection symptoms in the time of Covid-19 in Tanzania and Uganda
Background: There is still little empirical evidence on how the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and associated regulations may have disrupted care-seeking for non-COVID-19 conditions or affected antibiotic behaviours in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We aimed to investigate the differences in treatment-seeking behaviours and antibiotic use for urinary tract infection (UTI)-like symptoms before and during the pandemic at…
Causes of death among older children and adolescents (5–19 years) in the Magu Health and Demographic Surveillance Study, Tanzania, 1995–2022
BACKGROUND: Population data on mortality and causes of death among 5-19-year-olds are limited. OBJECTIVES: To assess levels, trends, and risk factors of cause-specific mortality and place at death among 5-19-year-olds in Tanzania (1995-2022). METHODS: Using longitudinal data from the Magu Health and Demographic Surveillance System in northwest Tanzania, we identified leading causes of death among 5-19-year-olds from verbal autopsy interviews, usi…
High Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 in Mwanza, Northwestern Tanzania
The transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, has been documented worldwide. However, the evidence of the extent to which transmission has occurred in different countries is still to be established. Understanding the magnitude and distribution of SARS-CoV-2 through seroprevalence studies is important in designing control and preventive strategies in communities. This study investigated the seropositivity of the SARS-CoV-2 virus…
High Mortality among Premature Neonates with Positive Blood Culture Neonatal Sepsis in a Tertiary Hospital, Tanzania
Well-documented vital signs are key in the prediction of sepsis in low- and middle-income countries. We determined prevalence, associated factors, and outcomes of positive blood culture sepsis in premature neonates at Bugando Medical Centre Mwanza, Tanzania. Temperature, oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory rate, and random blood glucose were repeatedly recorded at admission, 8 h, and 24 h in all 250 neonates enrolled. Clinical and microbio…

A cross-sectional survey on knowledge and perceptions of health risks associated with arsenic and mercury contamination from artisanal gold mining in Tanzania
The knowledge of individuals living in Rwamagasa, Tanzania, an area with a history of artisanal gold mining, varied widely with regard to the health hazards of mercury and arsenic. In these communities there was limited awareness of the threats to health associated with exposure to mercury and arsenic. This lack of knowledge, combined with minimal environmental monitoring and controlled waste management practices, highlights the need for health e…
