Population pharmacokinetics of Artemether and dihydroartemisinin in pregnant women with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Uganda.
BACKGROUND: Malaria in pregnancy increases the risk of maternal anemia, abortion and low birth weight. Approximately 85.3 million pregnancies occur annually in areas with Plasmodium falciparum transmission.
Sequence variation does not confound the measurement of plasma PfHRP2 concentration in African children presenting with severe malaria.
BACKGROUND: Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein PFHRP2 measurement is used widely for diagnosis, and more recently for severity assessment in falciparum malaria.
Spatial dynamics of meningococcal meningitis in Niger: observed patterns in comparison with measles.
Throughout the African meningitis belt, meningococcal meningitis outbreaks occur only during the dry season.
Field evaluation of a simple fluorescence method for detection of viable Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum specimens during treatment follow-up.
Simple tuberculosis (TB) treatment monitoring tools are needed.
Response to antiretroviral therapy: improved survival associated with CD4 above 500 cells/μl.
OBJECTIVE: We investigated the association between immune response and mortality in four HIV African programs supported by Médecins Sans Frontières.
DESIGN: Multicentric retrospective cohort study.
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, chlorproguanil-dapsone with artesunate and post-treatment haemolysis in African children treated for uncomplicated malaria.
BACKGROUND: Malaria is a leading cause of mortality, particularly in sub-Saharan African children. Prompt and efficacious treatment is important as patients may progress within a few hours to severe and possibly fatal disease.
Reconstruction of nonunion tibial fractures in war-wounded Iraqi civilians, 2006-2008: better late than never.
OBJECTIVE: To describe medical care and surgical outcome after functional reconstructive surgery in late-presenting patients who already had at least one prior operation.
Urban cholera transmission hotspots and their implications for reactive vaccination: evidence from Bissau city, Guinea bissau.
BACKGROUND: Use of cholera vaccines in response to epidemics (reactive vaccination) may provide an effective supplement to traditional control measures.
Timeliness of clinic attendance is a good predictor of virological response and resistance to antiretroviral drugs in HIV-infected patients.
BACKGROUND: Ensuring long-term adherence to therapy is essential for the success of HIV treatment. As access to viral load monitoring and genotyping is poor in resource-limited settings, a simple tool to monitor adherence is needed.
