Maternal and health worker preferences for paediatric antiretroviral formulations in neonates exposed to HIV
Oral liquid formulations of zidovudine (ZDV) and nevirapine (NVP) are the main antiretrovirals (ARVs) for neonates born to mothers living with HIV, but they have limitations including poor palatability, short shelf-life, frequent dosing and supply challenges. Understanding caregiver and provider preferences for infant ARV formulations is essential to guide the development of acceptable alternatives. Within the PETITE-DTG trial in South Africa (NC…
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. …
Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019
BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major threat to human health around the world. Previous publications have estimated the effect of AMR on incidence, deaths, hospital length of stay, and health-care costs for specific pathogen-drug combinations in select locations. To our knowledge, this study presents the most comprehensive estimates of AMR burden to date. METHODS: We estimated deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) a…
