Navigating complex care pathways–healthcare workers’ perspectives on health system barriers for children with tuberculous meningitis in Cape Town, South Africa
Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) occurs when tuberculosis (TB) bacilli disseminate and seed into the meninges, triggering a severe inflammatory response that often leads to brain infarction. It is the most severe and debilitating form of childhood TB with high mortality, and children who survive TBM often suffer lifelong physical and neuro-disability resulting in emotional, social, and economic burdens for families. In the early stages the symptoms m…
Prevalence of Respiratory Health Symptoms among Landfill Waste Recyclers in the City of Johannesburg, South Africa
In developing countries, waste sorting and recycling have become a source of income for poorer communities. However, it can potentially pose significant health risks. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of acute respiratory symptoms and associated risk factors for respiratory health outcomes among waste recyclers. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 361 waste recyclers at two randomly selected landfill sites in Johannesburg. Conv…
Complementary surveillance strategies are needed to better characterise the epidemiology, care pathways and treatment outcomes of tuberculosis in children
The burden and spectrum of childhood TB disease managed at referral hospital level in high burden settings is substantial. Hospital-based surveillance in addition to routine TB surveillance is essential to provide a complete picture of the burden, spectrum and impact of childhood TB in settings where hospitals are not TB reporting units
