The Zambian government has implemented a public health response to control the HIV epidemic in country. Zambia conducted population-based impact assessment (ZAMPHIA) survey 2021 assess status of guide its programs.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has wreaked havoc across the globe; although number of cases in Africa remains lower than other regions, it is on a gradual upward trajectory. To date, COVID-19 have been reported 54 out 55 African countries. However, due to limited severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) real-time reverse transcription-PCR (rRT-PCR) testing capacity and scarcity reagents, probable that total could far exceed published statistics. In this viewpoint,...
Summary Cryptococcal meningitis is the leading fungal infection and AIDS defining opportunistic illness in patients with late stage HIV infection, particularly South‐East Asia sub‐Saharan Africa. Given high mortality, clinical differences extensive ecological niche of Cryptococcus neoformans gattii species complexes, there need for laboratories sub‐Sahara African countries to adopt new alternative reliable diagnostic algorithms that rapidly identify distinguish these species. We biotyped 74...
Abstract Background Cancer and sepsis comorbidity is a major public health problem in most parts of the world including Zimbabwe. The microbial aetiologies their antibiograms vary with time locations. Knowledge on local susceptibility patterns critical guiding empirical antimicrobial treatment choices. Methods This was descriptive cross-sectional study which determined from blood cultures paediatric adult cancer patients obtained between July 2016 June 2017. TDR-X120 culture system TDR 300B...
Background: The prevalence of morbidity and mortality associated with liver disease among HIV-infected individuals on combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) is high. Early screening essential, as it provides an opportunity for successful treatment. Hence, there a need reliable, inexpensive non-invasive early markers hepatic damage.Objectives: Non-invasive algorithms are available assessing the extent fibrosis ongoing inflammatory damage. This study compared use FibroTest, Fibrosis-4...
