  • Parametric survival analysis of long Covid among hospitalized patients in Zambia

    Open AccessWarren Malambo, Mutale Sampa-Kawana et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Long COVID refers to the continuation or emergence of new symptoms within three months after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, lasting for at least two months. Although several studies have described COVID-19 sequelae, gaps remain in understanding the temporal dynamics of symptoms resolution – information crucial for patients management and recovery planning. This study evaluated the resolution of COVID-19–related symptoms over time and associated fact…

  • Implementing Sars-CoV-2 routine surveillance in antenatal care in Zambia, 2021–2022

    Open AccessTannia Tembo, Elizabeth Heilmann et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Incorporating SARS-CoV-2 surveillance into routine antenatal care is feasible and potentially sustainable when existing health system infrastructure, human resources, and surveillance systems are leveraged. Yet, careful planning is needed to anticipate implementation challenges and ensure high-quality data collection

  • Covid-19 vaccine uptake and associated risk factors among first antenatal care attendees in Zambia, 2021–2022

    Open AccessTannia Tembo, Paul Somwe et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Pregnant women are considered a high-risk group for COVID-19, and a priority for vaccination. Routine antenatal care (ANC) provides an opportunity to track trends and factors associated with vaccine uptake. We sought to evaluate COVID-19 vaccine uptake among pregnant women attending ANC and assess the factors associated with vaccine in Zambia. We conducted a repeated cross-sectional study in 39 public health facilities in four districts in Zambia…

  • Trends in Sars-CoV-2 seroprevalence among pregnant women attending first antenatal care visits in Zambia

    Open AccessElizabeth Heilmann, Tannia Tembo et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    SARS-CoV-2 serosurveys help estimate the extent of transmission and guide the allocation of COVID-19 vaccines. We measured SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among women attending ANC clinics to assess exposure trends over time in Zambia. We conducted repeated cross-sectional SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence surveys among pregnant women aged 15–49 years attending their first ANC visits in four districts of Zambia (two urban and two rural) during September 2021-S…

  • Hypertension among persons living with HIV—Zambia, 2021; A cross-sectional study of a national electronic health record system

    Open AccessJonas Z Hines, 守夫 西田 et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is a common cause of death in Zambia. Data on hypertension prevalence in Zambia are scarce and limited to specific geographic areas and/or populations. We measured hypertension prevalence among persons living with HIV (PLHIV) in Zambia using a national electronic health record (EHR) system. We did a cross-sectional study of hypertension prevalence among PLHIV aged ≥18 years dur…

  • Phenotypic and genotypic antibiotic susceptibility profiles of Gram-negative bacteria isolated from bloodstream infections at a referral hospital, Lusaka, Zambia

    Open AccessKaunda Yamba, Chileshe L Musyani et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Third-generation cephalosporins (3GCs) have been used as empiric treatment for BSI and other invasive infections for years; however, their overuse could promote the emergence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs). Thus, this study aimed to determine the epidemiological, clinical and microbiol…

  • A national HIV clinical mentorship program

    Open AccessMary Adetinuke Boyd, Sombo Fwoloshi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Although Zambia has increased the proportion of people living with HIV (PLHIV) who are on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in recent years, progress toward HIV epidemic control remains inconsistent. Some districts are still failing to meet the UNAIDS 90/90/90 targets where 90% of PLHIV should know their status, 90% of those diagnosed should be on ART, and 90% of those on ART should achieve viral load suppression (VLS) by 2020. Providing consistently …
