Prevalence of rifampicin resistance in pulmonary tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global public health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The emergence of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis further complicates control efforts. Despite national efforts, there are limited data on the prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and their rifampicin resistance in Ghana, especially at the facility level. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Mycobacterium tuber…
Use and Quality of Blood Cultures for the Diagnosis of Bloodstream Infections
Blood Culture and Drug Susceptibility Testing (CDST) remains vital for the diagnosis and management of bloodstream infections (BSIs). While the Ghana National Standard Treatment Guidelines require CDST to be performed in each case of suspected or clinically diagnosed BSI, these are poorly adhered to in the Ho Teaching Hospital (HTH). This study used secondary medical and laboratory records to describe blood CDST requests by clinicians and the qua…
