The socioeconomic impact of the Covid-19 lockdown on families affected by childhood respiratory illnesses in Cape Town, South Africa
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted families globally, directly and indirectly. Children presenting with respiratory illnesses are affected by emerging health systems and socioeconomic changes in the COVID-19 era. We explored the socioeconomic impacts of the COVID-19 lockdown on families with a respiratory illness diagnosed in their child in Cape Town, South Africa. This study was nested in a prospective observational cohort of children presenting wit…
Perinatal tuberculosis—An approach to an under-recognized diagnosis
Tuberculosis (TB) in young infants (<3 months of age), often referred to as perinatal TB, is underdiagnosed, leading to severe morbidity and high mortality. Perinatal TB includes both congenital and postnatal transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis . We aimed to increase an awareness of TB in neonates and young infants and to provide guidance on the assessment and management when in contact with mothers with TB during or soon after pregnancy. …
Third-Line Antiretroviral Therapy
Children on antiretroviral therapy have limited options, particularly if they are failing therapy and live in resource-poor settings. We describe three cases where children accessed third-line antiretroviral therapy off-label, or used them extemporaneously with successful outcomes. We then review the evidence for performing this measure. There is an urgent need for appropriate formulations to treat young children who require a third-line or salva…
Association of Adolescent- and Caregiver-Reported Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence with HIV Viral Load Among Perinatally-infected South African Adolescents
Positive futures
With the increasing availability of highly active antiretroviral therapy, vertically infected children have a better chance of surviving into adolescence and adulthood. Additionally, sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a problem, and incidence and prevalence among youth remain high. Therefore, HIV-infected adolescents are becoming a more prominent sub-group in the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Experience from the developed worl…
