BACKGROUND: Mathematical models have played important roles in the understanding of epidemics and in the study of the impacts of various behavioral or medical measures.
OBJECTIVES: Debate for a greater role of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) measures in nutritional programming continues, but a shift from therapeutic feeding programs admitting children using MUAC and/or weight-for-height Z (WHZ) to
BACKGROUND: Although rotavirus is the leading cause of severe diarrhea among children in sub-Saharan Africa, better knowledge of circulating enteric pathogenic bacteria and their antimicrobial resistance is crucial for prevention and t
BACKGROUND: There are limited data on region-specific drug susceptibility of tuberculosis (TB) in Uganda.
AIMS/OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine the prevalence and correlates of thrombocytopenia among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and to assess occurrence of antiplatelet an
BACKGROUND: Blood collected in conventional EDTA tubes requires laboratory analysis within 48 hours to provide valid CD4 cell count results.

BACKGROUND: The success of the current treatment regimen for multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis is poor partly owing to a high default rate.
SETTING: Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis is challenging in patients who are unable to produce sputum. The string test, a method for retrieving enteropathogens, is a potential alternative diagnostic tool.
Malaria is a leading cause of pediatric mortality, and Uganda has among the highest incidences in the world. Increased morbidity and mortality are associated with delays to care.
