Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is a global pandemic. Healthcare workers' (HCWs) role in patient management predisposing and can serve as means of hospitals community transmission. This study evaluated HCWs' knowledge, attitude, practice towards COVID-19 Nigeria.we carried out cross-sectional survey among HCWs during the outbreak Nigeria from March to June 2020. The assessed 346 for Knowledge, by using an online (Google form) self-administered...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2) is the causative agent of COVID-19. This study aimed to assess preventive behavior, and responses national preparedness response readiness COVID-19 outbreak by Healthcare workers in Nigeria.A cross-sectional survey 1200 HCW was carried out, three hundred forty-six (346) responded online questionnaire on demographic characteristics, preparedness, behavior towards HCWs. Descriptive analysis variables form tables graphs out. A binary...
FluoroType MTB is a sensitive test for TB but specificity low compared with fully integrated molecular systems http://ow.ly/WhEO30b1luY.
Tuberculosis (TB) incidence in Nigeria is high, with a significant burden of TB/Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Genotyping and drug susceptibility Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex (MTBC) are important order to improve the control disease. This study sought determine genetic diversity MTBC country. The sputum samples 202 patients [133 (65.8%) males/69 (34.2%) females] were collected North Central zone cultured using Lowenstein-Jensen medium. Immunochromatography for primary...
Objective: Nigeria ranks fourth among the high tuberculosis (TB) burden countries. This study describes prevalence of drug resistance and genetic diversity Mycobacterium in Abuja's Federal Capital Territory. Materials methods: Two hundred seventy-eight consecutive sputum samples were collected from adults with presumptive TB during 2013–2014. DNA was extracted Löwenstein–Jensen cultures analyzed for identification nontuberculous mycobacteria species, detection line probe assays,...
Worldwide, tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top 10 causes death. Drug resistant has lately become a major public health problem that threatens progress made in Tuberculosis care and control worldwide. The aim this study was to determine prevalence Pre-extensive drug TB among MDR North Central Nigeria.This conducted from October, 2018 August, 2019 with 150 samples. In Nigeria, guidelines for DR-TB as recommended by WHO followed. All samples patients who gave their consent were transported...
The efforts geared towards control of Tuberculosis is threatened by the spread multidrug resistance. Severe forms resistant TB termed Pre-extensive (Pre-XDR) and Extensively Drug (XDR) have been reported different countries including Indian, China, Russia Nigeria. Previous studies shown a strong association between these various resistance non-adherence. study was conducted to identify factors affecting adherence, assess level adherence perception care among Multidrug clients in North...
Background and study aim: The use of LPA is still new in Nigeria only available TB reference laboratories.In this study, the performance version 2.0 was evaluated for detection resistant to first-line anti-TB drugs. Patients Methods:We rifampicin (RIF) isoniazid (INH) resistance.Sputum samples from 223 participants were subjected phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (PDST) LPA.Statistical analyses included calculation sensitivity, specificity, positive negative predictive values.Cross...
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) has existed for millennia and ranks above HIV/AIDS as one of the top ten leading causes death worldwide from an infectious disease. Nigeria world's fourth largest tuberculosis burden drug resistance represents a public health issue. This study determines susceptibility well spoligotype distribution patterns Mycobacterium isolated in country. Methods & Materials: The sputum collected 82 patients (48 (58.5%) Males/34 (41.5%) Females) were cultured using BACTEC...
The acquisition of MDR-TB results mainly from health system/service and patient-related factors. Previous studies showed that factors affect outcome can be human (patient, healthcare provider) system related. Poor quality care provided to TB patients affects treatment which could trigger development spread multidrug resistant TB. This study was conducted assess Multidrug clients in Drug Resistant centers North Central Nigeria also compliance provider with the standard MDR services they...
