Enhancing Sars-CoV-2 surveillance in Malawi using telephone syndromic surveillance from July 2020 to April 2022
INTRODUCTION: Monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in low-resource countries such as Malawi requires cost-effective surveillance strategies. This study explored the potential utility of phone-based syndromic surveillance in terms of its reach, monitoring trends in reported SARS-CoV-2-like/influenza-like symptoms (CLS/ILS), SARS-CoV-2 testing and mortality. METHODS: Mobile phone-based interviews were conducted between 1 July 2020 and 30 April 2022, …
Examining teen club attendance and viral load suppression among adolescents under differentiated HIV care in Malawi
Even amongst adolescents enrolled in teen clubs, teen club attendance is low and high HIV viremia prevails. A continual focus on adolescents is needed to promote consistent teen club attendance and consistent ART adherence among the adolescents enrolled in differentiated service delivery
Unlocking the potential
This study provides insights into weight gain patterns in patients on DTG-based regimens compared with those on non-DTG regimens. Younger individuals (15-24 years) exhibited higher odds of weight gain, suggesting a need for increased surveillance in this age group. These findings contribute to the understanding DTG's potential effects on weight gain, aiding clinical decision making. Further research is required to comprehensively understand the u…
Early Effects of Scaling Up Dolutegravir-Based ARV Regimens Among Children Living with HIV in Malawi
Viral suppression (VS) in children has remained suboptimal compared to that in adults. We evaluated the impact of transitioning children weighing < 20 kg to a pediatric formulation of dolutegravir (pDTG) on VS in Malawi. We analyzed routine retrospective program data from electronic medical record systems pooled across 169 healthcare facilities in Malawi supported by the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF). We included children who…
Protocol for a Case-Control Study to Investigate the Association of Pellagra With Isoniazid Exposure During Tuberculosis Preventive Treatment Scale-Up in Malawi
Background: Pellagra is caused by niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency and manifested by a distinctive dermatitis. Isoniazid is critical for treating tuberculosis globally and is a component of most regimens to prevent tuberculosis. Isoniazid may contribute to pellagra by disrupting intracellular niacin synthesis. In 2017, Malawian clinicians recognized a high incidence of pellagra-like rashes after scale-up of isoniazid preventive treatment (IPT) to p…
