Screening and targeted sequencing of stool for microbiologic confirmation and drug resistance determination in paucibacillary tuberculosis
In 2023, an estimated 10.8 million people developed tuberculosis, and 1.25 million people died from this disease, including 161,000 deaths in people with HIV (PWH) in whom tuberculosis remains the leading cause of death. Detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistance remains a challenge among patients with paucibacillary tuberculosis; since there is such low bacterial load in their sputum it’s unable to be detected via microscopy, there is …
The impact of financial incentives on HIV incidence among adolescent girls and young women in Eswatini
Introduction Incentives conditional on school attendance or on remaining free of sexually transmitted infections have produced mixed results in reducing HIV incidence. Methods HIV-negative adolescent girls and young women aged 15–22%–50% of whom were out of school—were recruited from 293 clusters in Eswatini from urban (30%) and rural areas (70%). Financial incentives conditional on education attendance were randomly allocated at the cluster leve…
Effectiveness and safety of reactive focal mass drug administration (rfMDA) using dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine to reduce malaria transmission in the very low-endemic setting of Eswatini
INTRODUCTION: To reduce malaria transmission in very low-endemic settings, screening and treatment near index cases (reactive case detection (RACD)), is widely practised, but the rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) used miss low-density infections. Reactive focal mass drug administration (rfMDA) may be safe and more effective. METHODS: We conducted a pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial in Eswatini, a very low-endemic setting. 77 clusters were…
