BACKGROUND: Blood collected in conventional EDTA tubes requires laboratory analysis within 48 hours to provide valid CD4 cell count results.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: There are no recent data on the prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR TB) in Cambodia.
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.
BACKGROUND: Understanding the factors associated with HIV drug resistance development and subsequent mortality is important to improve clinical patient management.
BACKGROUND: Southwestern Uganda has high malaria heterogeneity despite moderate vector control and other interventions.
BACKGROUND: Artesunate-amodiaquine (AS-AQ) is one of the most widely used artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) to treat uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Africa.
