Cost and cost-effectiveness of a real-world HCV treatment program among HIV-infected individuals in Myanmar.
INTRODUCTION: Over half of those hepatitis C virus (HCV)/HIV coinfected live in low-income and middle-income countries, and many remain undiagnosed or untreated.
Comparison of capillary versus venous blood for the diagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum malaria using rapid diagnostic tests.
We enrolled 250 febrile children in western Uganda to compare the results of malaria rapid diagnostic tests when using capillary versus venous blood. Participants were tested with four different RDT types.
Immunogenicity and safety of fractional doses of yellow fever vaccines: a randomised, double-blind, non-inferiority trial.
BACKGROUND: Stocks of yellow fever vaccine are insufficient to cover exceptional demands for outbreak response. Fractional dosing has shown efficacy, but evidence is limited to the 17DD substrain vaccine.
Outcomes of AIDS-associated Kaposi sarcoma in Mozambique after treatment with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin.
BACKGROUND: Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a common HIV-associated malignancy frequently associated with poor outcomes. It is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in major cities of Mozambique.
Smartphone-Based Ophthalmic Imaging Compared to Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment of Vertical Cup-to-Disc Ratio among Adults in Southwestern Uganda.
PRCIS: Using optical coherence tomography measurements as a reference standard for vertical cup-to-disc ratio (vCDR), a smartphone-based ophthalmic camera has a sensitivity of 67.7% and specificity of 96.7% to detect a vCDR greater tha
Urine lipoarabinomannan (LAM) testing for all HIV patients hospitalized in the medical wards identifies a large proportion of patients with tuberculosis at risk of death.
BACKGROUND: Diagnosing tuberculosis (TB), the leading cause of death in people with HIV, remains a challenge in resource-limited countries.
Early detection of cholera epidemics to support control in fragile states: estimation of delays and potential epidemic sizes.
BACKGROUND: Cholera epidemics continue to challenge disease control, particularly in fragile and conflict-affected states.
Feasibility of satellite image and GIS sampling for population representative surveys: a case study from rural Guatemala.
BACKGROUND: Population-representative household survey methods require up-to-date sampling frames and sample designs that minimize time and cost of fieldwork especially in low- and middle-income countries.
Effectiveness of seasonal malaria chemoprevention at scale in west and central Africa: an observational study.
BACKGROUND: Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) aims to prevent malaria in children during the high malaria transmission season.
