Gaps in TB-related knowledge and practices
Although tuberculosis is a preventable and treatable disease, its management has been challenging for tuberculosis control and prevention programs in low- and middle- income countries such as Mozambique. We assessed the TB knowledge and healthcare-seeking behaviors among adults with HIV and caregivers of paediatric patients with symptoms of TB. The study was conducted between February and October 2023 at Manhiça District Hospital. A total of 60 i…
Paediatric healthcare in Manhiça district through a gender lens
Background: Sex and gender are important determinants of health. Gender-based health inequities in the paediatric population have been reported in various countries, but data remain limited. In Mozambique, research on this topic is very scarce. Here we aimed to explore whether boys and girls in Manhiça district, southern Mozambique, differ in access to and provision of healthcare. Methods: This retrospective analysis includes data on all paediatr…
Improving tuberculosis case detection through contact risk stratification by Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra and spatial parameters
Prompt diagnosis is critical for tuberculosis (TB) control, as it enables early treatment which in turn, reduces transmission and improves treatment outcomes. We investigated the impact on TB diagnosis of introducing Xpert Ultra as the frontline diagnostic test, combined with an innovative active-case finding (ACF) strategy (based on Xpert Ultra semi-quantitative results and spatial parameters), in a semi-rural district of Southern Mozambique. Fr…
Prognostic accuracy of biomarkers of immune and endothelial activation in Mozambican children hospitalized with pneumonia
Pneumonia is a leading cause of child mortality. However, currently we lack simple, objective, and accurate risk-stratification tools for pediatric pneumonia. Here we test the hypothesis that measuring biomarkers of immune and endothelial activation in children with pneumonia may facilitate the identification of those at risk of death. We recruited children
