Performance of six rapid diagnostic tests for SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection and implications for practical use.
BACKGROUND: Direct detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins in nasopharyngeal swabs using lateral flow immunoassays is a simple, fast and cheap approach to diagnose the infection.
Burden of Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer Among Women Living in East Africa: An Analysis of the Latest Demographic Health Surveys Conducted Between 2014 and 2017.
PURPOSE: In East Africa, cervical cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among women diagnosed with cancer.
Rotavirus vaccine efficacy up to 2 years of age and against diverse circulating rotavirus strains in Niger: Extended follow-up of a randomized controlled trial.
BACKGROUND: Rotavirus vaccination is recommended in all countries to reduce the burden of diarrhea-related morbidity and mortality in children.
Serologic response to SARS-CoV-2 in an African population.
Official case counts suggest Africa has not seen the expected burden of COVID-19 as predicted by international health agencies, and the proportion of asymptomatic patients, disease severity, and mortality burden differ significantly in Africa from what
An intensive model of care for hepatitis C virus screening and treatment with direct-acting antivirals in people who inject drugs in Nairobi, Kenya: A model-based cost-effectiveness analysis.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment is essential for eliminating HCV in people who inject drugs (PWID) but has limited coverage in resource-limited settings.
Population pharmacokinetics and significant under-dosing of anti-tuberculosis medications in people with HIV and Critical Illness.
Critical illness from tuberculosis (TB) bloodstream infection results in a high case fatality rate for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Critical illness can lead to altered pharmacokinetics and suboptimal drug exposures.
Regional sequencing collaboration reveals persistence of the T12 O1 lineage in West Africa.
Background: Despite recent insights into cholera transmission patterns in Africa, regional and local dynamics in West Africa-where cholera outbreaks occur every few years-are still poorly understood.
All-oral longer regimens are effective for the management of multidrug resistant tuberculosis in high burden settings.
BACKGROUND: Recent World Health Organisation guidance on drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment de-prioritised injectable agents, in use for decades, and endorsed all-oral longer regimens.
