  • Using one health training for interprofessional team building

    Open AccessNathan Y Shehu, Nathan Shehu et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    In recent years, the concept of One Health (OH) has arisen as an approach that helps to catalyze the creation of transdisciplinary teams needed for surveillance and investigation of emerging disease dynamics. Besides a wealth of descriptions of what the OH approach encompasses, a dearth of information is available regarding the training of individuals in OH competencies. In 2019, the Nigerian Center for Disease Control developed an OH strategic p…

  • Performance evaluation of Sars-CoV-2 rapid diagnostic tests in Nigeria

    Open AccessAkhere A Omonkhua, Adedayo Omotayo FANEYE et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The COVID-19 pandemic challenged health systems globally. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the gold standard for detecting the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples. Rapid diagnostic test (RDT) kits for COVID-19 have been widely used in Nigeria. This has greatly improved test turnover rates and significantly decreased the high technical demands of RT-PCR. However, there is currently no nationally representative eva…

  • Analysis of sensorineural hearing loss in patients attending an otolaryngology clinic in North Central Nigeria

Approximately 1.4 billion people have hearing loss, of which 80% reside in low- and middle-income countries with limited audiology and otolaryngology care available to them. The objective of this study was to estimate period prevalence of hearing loss and audiogram patterns of patients attending an otolaryngology clinic in North Central Nigeria. A 10-year retrospective cohort…

  • A multicenter survey of asymptomatic cryptococcal antigenemia among patients with advanced HIV disease in Nigeria

    Open AccessRita Oladele, Alexander M Jordan et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    As of 2018, cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) screening in patients with advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease (AHD) was not routinely implemented in Nigeria despite being recommended in the national HIV treatment guidelines. Our aim was to determine the prevalence and risk factors for asymptomatic cryptococcal antigenemia in adult people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Nigeria to advocate for the implementation of routine CrAg screening. A de…

  • Epidemiological review of confirmed Lassa fever cases during 2016–2018, in Plateau State, North Central Nigeria

    Open AccessSimji Gomerep, Simji Samuel Gomerep et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Lassa fever (LF) is endemic in West Africa and constitutes a significant public health concern due to its potential for epidemics and associated high mortality. The first reported case and management of Lassa fever in Plateau State occurred more than 50 years ago. We set out to undertake a three-year epidemiological review of LF cases in Plateau State, North Central Nigeria. This is a retrospective study of all confirmed LF cases in Plateau State…
