In response to an outbreak of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in western Afghanistan, we measured immunoglobulin G seroprevalence among household members and their animals. Seroprevalence was 11.2% 75.0% humans (n = 330) livestock 132), respectively. Persons with frequent exposure cattle had elevated risk being positive.
A nascent HIV epidemic and high prevalence of risky drug practices were detected among injecting users (IDUs) in Kabul, Afghanistan from 2005-2006. We assessed HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), B surface antigen (HBsAg), syphilis, needle syringe program (NSP) use this population. IDUs recruited between June, 2007 March, 2009 completed questionnaires rapid testing for HCV, HBsAg, syphilis; positive samples received confirmatory testing. Logistic regression was used to identify correlates current...
Abstract Background Tailored and culturally appropriate latent tuberculosis (TB) infection screening treatment programs, including interventions against TB stigma, are needed to reduce incidence in low countries. However, we lack insights stigma related (LTBI) among target groups, such as asylum seekers refugees. We therefore studied knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, associated with LTBI Eritrean refugees the Netherlands. Methods used convenience sampling interview adult refugees: 26...
Background Healthcare workers (HCWs) caring for Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients are at increased risk of being stigmatized, which compromises their individual mental well-being and the quality care they deliver. Stigma-reduction interventions may (partly) prevent this. However, there is a lack in-depth understanding experiences underlying causes COVID-19 stigma among HCWs, needed to design such interventions. We conducted semi-structured interviews assess HCWs in Ireland,...
Armed conflict may increase the risk of HIV and other pathogens among injecting drug users (IDUs); however, there are few prospective studies. This study aimed to measure incidence potential predictors, including environmental events needle syringe distribution collection program (NSP) use, hepatitis C virus (HCV) IDUs in Kabul, Afghanistan. Consenting adult completed interviews quarterly year 1 semi-annually 2 HCV antibody testing through cohort period (November 2007–December 2009)....
