Optimizing hepatitis B diagnosis for mothers in a low-resource setting
Mother-to-child transmission accounts for most new hepatitis B (HBV) infections in high-burden regions globally. The World Health Organization recommends antiviral prophylaxis for pregnant women with high hepatitis B viral load levels, but access to viral load testing remains limited and untimely in many countries, due to centralized testing. We assessed the operational feasibility, accessibility, and cost of implementing the Xpert HBV DNA assay …
Community based countrywide analysis of lactase persistence related genetic variants and their correlation with digestive symptoms in Libya
Lactose intolerance is a complex symptomatic response to lactose maldigestion that is influenced by, but not strictly determined by, the down- regulation of the enzyme lactase. Several nucleotide polymorphisms − 13910C > T (rs4988235), − 13907C > G (rs41525747), − 13915T > G (rs41380347), − 14010G > C (rs145946881) and −14009T > G (rs869051967) upstream of the LCT gene have been associated with lactase persistence in European, African and Middle …
Meningitis diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes in rural, northern Uganda
Meningitis affects over 2.5 million people worldwide, primarily within resource-limited regions of the meningitis belt of Africa. In 2017, we implemented a cryptococcal meningitis (CM) diagnosis and treatment program (CM-DTP) designed to improve CM outcomes. In 2021, a meningitis diagnosis and treatment program (MEN-DTP) began to include all etiologies of meningitis to assess the impact of expanded diagnosis and treatment of meningitis. We conduc…
Application and comparison of point-of-care devices for field evaluation of underlying health status of Guatemalan sugarcane workers
With chronic disease prevalence on the rise globally, surveillance and monitoring are critical to improving health outcomes. Point-of-care (POC) testing can facilitate epidemiological research and enhance surveillance systems in limited resource settings, but previous research has identified bias between POC devices and laboratory testing. We compared the performance of two POC blood analyzers, the iSTAT handheld (Abbott, Princeton, NJ, USA) and …
Performance evaluation of Sars-CoV-2 rapid diagnostic tests in Nigeria
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…
The Universal Vital Assessment (UVA) score at 6 hours post-resuscitation predicts mortality in hospitalized adults with severe sepsis in Mbarara, Uganda
Sepsis is the leading cause of global death with the highest burden found in sub-Saharan Africa (sSA). The Universal Vital Assessment (UVA) score is a validated resource-appropriate clinical tool to identify hospitalized patients in sSA who are at risk of in-hospital mortality. Whether a decrease in the UVA score over 6 hours of resuscitation from sepsis is associated with improved outcomes is unknown. We aimed to determine (1) the association be…
