The Accuracy of the Uganda National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Program diagnostic algorithm and the World Health Organisation treatment decision algorithms for childhood tuberculosis
Diagnosing childhood pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a challenge. This led the Uganda National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Program (NTLP) to develop a clinical treatment decision algorithm (TDA) for children. However, there is limited data on its accuracy, and how it compares to new World Health Organization (WHO) TB TDAs for children. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the accuracy of the 2017 Uganda NTLP diagnostic algorithm with the 2022 WHO…
Acceptability of decentralizing childhood tuberculosis diagnosis in low-income countries with high tuberculosis incidence
Decentralizing childhood tuberculosis services, including diagnosis, is now recommended by the WHO and could contribute to increasing tuberculosis detection in high burden countries. However, implementing microbiological tests and clinical evaluation could be challenging for health care workers (HCWs) in Primary Health Centers (PHCs) and even District Hospitals (DHs). We sought to assess the acceptability of decentralizing a comprehensive childho…
The socioeconomic burden of pediatric tuberculosis and role of child-sensitive social protection
Households face financial and social challenges prior to a child's TB diagnosis, and child-sensitive social protection support may mitigate ongoing burden
Outcomes of empiric treatment for pediatric tuberculosis, Kampala, Uganda, 2010–2015
Empiric treatment of child TB was effective and safe, but treatment success remained below the 90% target. Addressing co-morbidities and improving retention in care may reduce unfavorable outcomes
Factors Influencing the Risk of Becoming Sexually Active Among HIV Infected Adolescents in Kampala and Kisumu, East Africa
Motivators of couple HIV counseling and testing (CHCT) uptake in a rural setting in Uganda
The motivators for CHCT uptake included the perceived benefit of HIV testing, sickness of a partner or child, preparation for marriage, lack of trust among couples and men involvement in antenatal care. Greater attention to enhancers of CHCT programming is needed in trying to strengthen its uptake
Trend and outcome of notified children with tuberculosis during 2011-2015 in Kampala, Uganda
The TB notification rate among children in Kampala city showed a large decline during the period 2011 to 2015. There was a slight improvement in the treatment success rate among the children
Translating primary into ‘positive’ prevention for adolescents in Eastern Africa
There is an urgent need to develop positive prevention interventions for adolescents living with HIV in high endemic regions. Adapting existing evidence-based interventions for resource-constrained settings is effective when the intervention's theoretical core elements are preserved while achieving cultural relevance. We describe the process of adapting a primary prevention to a secondary/positive prevention programme for adolescents living with …
Epidemiology of tuberculosis in children in Kampala district, Uganda, 2009–2010; a retrospective cross-sectional study
There was a higher child TB incidence of 56 per 100,000 in 2009 compared with 44 per 100,000 in 2010. The percentage of child TB cases was much higher at 7.5 % of all the reported TB cases than the WHO reported national average. For the review period, the TB cases clustered in particular slums in Kampala district
Having sex, becoming somebody
A growing number of adolescents are living with HIV/AIDS. For their well-being and for prevention, age- and culturally appropriate interventions become increasingly important. This qualitative study was conducted as the first step to develop a sexual and reproductive health (SRH) intervention. The study's objective was to assess the impact of HIV and related contextual conditions on identity formation of adolescents living with HIV/AIDS (ALH) in …
Prevalence and factors associated with traditional herbal medicine use among patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy in Uganda
The prevalence of THM use among participants on HAART was high. This raises clinical and pharmacological concerns that need attention by the health care service providers
