BackgroundThe incidence of enteric fever, an invasive bacterial infection caused by typhoidal Salmonellae (Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Paratyphi), is largely unknown in regions without blood culture surveillance. The aim this study was to evaluate whether new diagnostic serological markers for Salmonella can reliably estimate population-level incidence.MethodsWe collected longitudinal samples from patients with culture-confirmed fever enrolled surveillance studies Bangladesh,...
The Surveillance for Enteric Fever in Asia Project (SEAP) conducted blood culture surveillance Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (S. Typhi) and Paratyphi Paratyphi) to provide an evidence base prevention control measures Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan. From October 2020 September 2022, we prospective clinical retrospective laboratory at health facilities Dhaka, Bangladesh; Kathmandu Kavrepalanchok, Nepal; Karachi, Patients were eligible if they outpatients with three or more days of fever the...
Typhoid fever causes substantial morbidity and mortality in Bangladesh. The government of Bangladesh plans to introduce typhoid conjugate vaccines (TCV) its expanded program on immunization (EPI) schedule. However, the optimal introduction strategy addition costs benefits such a are unclear.
Background Typhoid and paratyphoid remain common bloodstream infections in areas with suboptimal water sanitation infrastructure. Paratyphoid, caused by Salmonella Paratyphi A, is less prevalent than typhoid its antimicrobial resistance (AMR) trends are documented. Empirical treatment for commonly based on the knowledge of susceptibility Typhi, which causes typhoid. Hence, rising drug last-line antibiotics like ceftriaxone azithromycin prescribed both paratyphoid. However, unlike typhoid,...
There is a shortage of rapid, accurate, and low-cost assays for diagnosing enteric fever. The dual-path platform typhoid (DPPT) assay had high accuracy in retrospective studies with banked plasma samples. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic DPPT prospective study using fingerstick capillary blood.
ABSTRACT Objective Bankers lead a sedentary and highly stressful life that often leads to developing noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes, mental disorders, etc. The study aims assess the prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension prehypertension among bankers in Bangladesh. Methods Data from 365 five public private banks Bangladesh were collected using pretested semistructured questionnaire. Prehypertension was defined having systolic blood pressure 120-139 mmHg...
Abstract Background The incidence of enteric fever, an invasive bacterial infection caused by typhoidal Salmonellae , is largely unknown in regions lacking blood culture surveillance. New serologic markers have proven accurate diagnosing but whether they could be used to reliably estimate population-level unknown. Methods We collected longitudinal samples from culture-confirmed fever cases enrolled surveillance studies Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Ghana conducted cross-sectional...
