Asthma is a diverse disease with various etiologic bases. Severe asthma can be associated increased mortality, hospitalization, and decreased quality of life for patients. High blood eosinophil counts were severe asthma, but recent studies have failed to confirm this as marker among adult As result, the purpose study was determine association between severity high count.A simple random sampling technique used select 291 asthmatic patients an institution-based cross-sectional study....
ABSTRACT Background Mpox is a zoonotic disease that has become significant public health concern, especially in regions beyond its usual endemic areas Africa. The rising global incidence and classification as Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Organization highlight importance healthcare professionals (HCPs) being knowledgeable well‐prepared to effectively manage virus. This study aims assess knowledge, attitudes, factors associated with HCPs regarding infections...
Both tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are major global public health concerns, their prevalence has been rising rapidly in developing countries like Ethiopia. A challenge to TB control could arise from the incidence of undermine efforts eradicate disease. In Ethiopia, particularly research region, there is a lack data regarding TB-DM comorbidity associated risk factors. To assess determinants DM patients with at South Gondar Zone Hospitals facility-based cross-sectional study was...
ABSTRACT Background Nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental pathogens that can cause pulmonary infections, especially among the immunocompromised population. There is limited research on healthcare professionals' knowledge of NTM infections in Ethiopia. This study aimed to evaluate about at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (DTCSH). Methods A cross‐sectional was conducted from March 5 July 30, 2024 DTCSH 292 professionals infections. semi‐structured questionnaire...
ABSTRACT Background Mycobacterium leprae is the cause of leprosy, a disease whose severity worsens over time. It affects nerves extremities, integumentary systems, linings appendages like nose, and upper respiratory tract. This study aimed to determine M. slide positivity in Felege Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Method Patients’ record from January 2017 December 2023 was reviewed extracted laboratory registration book. Socio‐demographic data age, sex, confirmed...
Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are one of the most common infections affecting underprivileged populations in low- and middle-income countries. Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, hookworm three main species that infect people. School children vulnerable groups for STH due to their practice walking playing barefoot, poor personal hygiene, environmental sanitation. However, evidence is limited study area. So, this aimed assess current prevalence, infection intensity, associated risk...
Background Malaria is the disease caused by Plasmodium species and primarily transmitted bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes. During pregnancy, malaria causes life threatening outcomes to mother, fetus new born. Even though, symptomatic pregnant women highly attract mosquitoes have higher potential transmitting in communities, most previous studies focused on with asymptomatic infections. Therefore, aim this study was assess prevalence associated factors among attending antenatal care at...
In Ethiopia, intestinal parasites are common due to poverty, poor personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, overcrowding, a lack of safe drinking water, and knowledge. As result, evaluating the parasite morbidity pattern in low-income countries such as Ethiopia is important for designing intervention programs that minimize illness burden. Despite high prevalence disease Debre Tabor catchment areas, there data on trend parasites. study's goal was close gap patterns infection better control...
One of the main challenge for controlling morbidity and mortality related to malaria is absence reliable treatment precise diagnostic tools in malaria-prone regions. Despite number techniques used, inconsistent results were found from previous studies. The aim this study assess effectiveness 18S nested PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction),microscopy, CarestartTMpf/pan RDT(Rapid Diagnostic Tests) as methods using Microscopy PCR reference techniques. A facilities community based cross-sectional was...
The development of drug resistance to chloroquine is posing a challenge in the prevention and control efforts malaria globally. Chloroquine first-line treatment for uncomplicated P.vivax Ethiopia. Regular monitoring anti-malarial drugs recommended help early detection drug-resistant strains parasites before widely distributed. emergence country endangers efficacy treatment. This study aimed assess therapeutic among infections at Shewa Robit Health Center, northeast Ethiopia.One-arm vivo...
Soil-transmitted helminths are one of the most prevalent causes both intellectual and physical disability in world. Albendazole (ALB) is a drug recommended for mass treatment high burden soil-transmitted schoolchildren, particularly developing countries. However, some researchers have reported that efficacy albedazole against inconsistent. Monitoring programs crucial to evaluating effectiveness 400 mg ALB helminths, as well any changes its therapeutic efficacy. Thus, purpose this study was...
Abstract: Hematopoietic stem cell donation is a method used to treat both blood-related and non-blood-related malignancies. Graft-versus-host disease potentially life-threatening complication that can occur following transplant from donor. This happens after the transplanted grafts attack recipient's body as foreign cells, causing significant morbidity mortality. Clinically, this condition be classified acute or chronic based on onset pathophysiology. review aims provide an overview of...
Abstract Background and Aims A growing number of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients suffer from opportunistic intestinal coccidian infections. Instead human immuno deficiency virus (HIV) infection itself, infections like parasites cause death over 80% AIDS patients. Factors exposed drinking water sources poverty aid the prevalence parasitic in HIV/AIDS The goal this study was to determine associated factors Methods health facility based cross sectional conducted 140 attending...
Balantidium coli is a ciliated protozoan parasite, which causes intestinal and extraintestinal infections in humans. It transmitted feco-orally by ingesting infective cysts with food water. Urinary balantidiasis may occur through contamination (direct spread from the anal area), secondarily to rectovaginal fistula following immune suppression. Data about cases of urinary are rare world. Currently, there no documented reports Ethiopia. As our understanding, only eleven globally. However,...
Tuberculosis is a communicable disease, mainly caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Globally, TB ninth leading cause of death, with developing countries bearing most burden. The discovery chemotherapy lead to significant improvements in patient survival. Therefore, this study aimed assess treatment outcomes and associated factors South Gondar Administrative Zone Governmental Hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia, 2023.A hospital-based retrospective was conducted from July 1 August 30,...
Abstract Background The main concerns affecting human health are infectious diseases. Bacterial infections comprise a large portion of disorders. Infections acquired in institutions also among their sources infections. location culture-positive specimens and the thorough profiles antibiotic resistance for common pathogens were subsequent focal points current investigation. Methodology: bacterial isolates extracted from patient's biological samples evaluated this retrospective study...

BackgroundThe preanalytical phase encompasses the time between clinician's test order to sample being ready for analysis. Of all errors during laboratory diagnostic process,70% appeared in pre-analytical phase. In clinical laboratories, it is crucial ensure proper specimen collection and handling, which essential guarantee quality assessment, monitoring process standardization, improving performance, ensuring patient safety. Despite this importance, no study has been conducted area...
Background Vaccination is a cost-effective public health program that helps reduce significant morbidity and mortality in children under the age of five. Worldwide, number vaccine-preventable causes child death has significantly decreased since Expanded Program Immunization (EPI) was introduced. However, for variety reasons, 23 million did not have adequate access to vaccines 2020. Therefore, this study aimed evaluate determinants pneumonia conjugate vaccine (PCV) dropout among aged 12–23...
