  • Antibiotic prescribing patterns at outpatient clinics in Western and Coastal Kenya

    Open AccessMelanie Kiener, Caroline Ichura et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Antimicrobial resistant pathogens are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with overuse and misuse of antimicrobials being key contributors. We aimed to identify factors associated with antibiotic prescriptions among patients presenting to clinics in Kenya. We performed a retrospective, descriptive cohort study of persons presenting to outpatient clinics in Western and Coastal Kenya, including symptoms, physical exams, clinician …

  • Detection of acute dengue virus infection, with and without concurrent malaria infection, in a cohort of febrile children in Kenya, 2014–2019, by clinicians or machine learning algorithms

    Open AccessDavid M Vu, Amy Krystosik et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Poor access to diagnostic testing in resource limited settings restricts surveillance for emerging infections, such as dengue virus (DENV), to clinician suspicion, based on history and exam observations alone. We investigated the ability of machine learning to detect DENV based solely on data available at the clinic visit. We extracted symptom and physical exam data from 6,208 pediatric febrile illness visits to Kenyan public health clinics from …

  • Urban risk factors for human Rift Valley fever virus exposure in Kenya

    Open AccessKeli Nicole Gerken, Francis Mutuku et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    The Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a zoonotic arbovirus that can also transmit directly to humans from livestock. Previous studies have shown consumption of sick animal products are risk factors for RVFV infection, but it is difficult to disentangle those risk factors from other livestock rearing activities. Urban areas have an increased demand for animal source foods, different vector distributions, and various arboviruses are understood to e…

  • Majority of pediatric dengue virus infections in Kenya do not meet 2009 WHO criteria for dengue diagnosis

    Open AccessAslam Khan, Bryson A Ndenga et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    From 1975–2009, the WHO guidelines classified symptomatic dengue virus infections as dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and dengue shock syndrome. In 2009 the case definition was changed to a clinical classification after concern the original criteria was challenging to apply in resource-limited settings and not inclusive of a substantial proportion of severe dengue cases. Our goal was to examine how well the current WHO definition identifie…
