We might have been prescribing antibiotics to clients who do not need them”
In many resource-constrained settings, community health workers (CHW) often provide the initial care for children under five years of age. As part of integrated community case management (iCCM) programs, CHW frequently diagnose and treat acute respiratory illness (ARI), a leading cause of pediatric mortality and indication for antibiotic use globally. Yet knowledge and perceptions of antibiotic prescribing for ARI among CHW are not well-studied. …
Comparison of commercially available, rapid, point-of-care C-reactive protein assays among children with febrile illness in southwestern Uganda
In Uganda, children with febrile illness are often treated with antibiotics even though most have self-limiting, likely viral, infections. C-reactive protein (CRP) measurement can help identify those who are more likely to have a bacterial infection and therefore need antibiotic treatment. Implementation of a CRP rapid diagnostic test (RDT) at the point-of-care in resource-constrained settings with minimal laboratory infrastructure could reduce u…
Quality of care and post-discharge morbidity among children diagnosed with severe malaria in rural Uganda
Pediatric severe malaria is a significant contributor of morbidity and mortality in Uganda. Most information is derived from tertiary referral centers and urban centers. Little is known about routine care or post-discharge outcomes in rural areas. We conducted a longitudinal cohort study of pediatric severe malaria at St. Paul’s Level IV Health Center (SPHC) in Kasese, Uganda. We collected demographic, clinical, and laboratory results, and conduc…
