Available incidence data for invasive salmonella disease in sub-Saharan Africa are scarce. Standardised, multicountry required to better understand the nature and burden of Africa. We aimed measure adjusted estimates typhoid fever non-typhoidal (iNTS) Africa, antimicrobial susceptibility profiles causative agents.We established a systematic, standardised surveillance blood culture-based febrile illness 13 African sentinel sites with previous reports fever: Burkina Faso (two sites), Ethiopia,...
Pneumonia, the leading infectious cause of child mortality globally, mainly afflicts developing countries. This prospective observational study aimed to assess microorganisms associated with pneumonia in children aged <5 years and emerging A multicenter, case-control by GABRIEL (Global Approach Biological Research, Infectious diseases Epidemics Low-income countries) network was conducted between 2010 2014 Cambodia, China, Haiti, India (2 sites), Madagascar, Mali, Mongolia, Paraguay. Cases...
Background. Country-specific studies in Africa have indicated that Plasmodium falciparum is associated with invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella (iNTS) disease. We conducted a multicenter study 13 sites Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Madagascar, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, and Tanzania to investigate the relationship between occurrence of iNTS disease, other systemic bacterial infections, malaria. Methods. Febrile patients received blood culture malaria test. Isolated...
The clinical diagnosis of bacterial bloodstream infections (BSIs) in sub-Saharan Africa is routinely confused with malaria due to overlapping symptoms. Typhoid Surveillance Program (TSAP) recruited febrile inpatients and outpatients all ages using identical study procedures enrollment criteria, thus providing an opportunity assess disease etiology pretreatment patterns among children adults.Inpatients tympanic or axillary temperatures ≥38.0 ≥37.5°C, respectively, only reporting fever within...
Background. The burden of typhoid fever (TF) in sub-Saharan Africa is largely unknown but increasingly thought to be high, given that water and sanitary conditions remain unimproved many countries. To address this gap information, the Typhoid Fever Surveillance Program (TSAP) founded a surveillance system for TF 10 African This study was component TSAP project Madagascar. Methods. entailed qualitative assessment patients' experiences perceptions services febrile symptoms at studies' rural...
The ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) urgently needs effective antivirals. After over years since the beginning pandemic, only a few FDA approved therapeutic options are available to treat population. Combination therapies have become standard for treatment other infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C due their improved efficacy compared monotherapy, reduced toxicity, ability prevent development...
In Madagascar, the last study on sickle cell disease (SCD) was done in early 1980s. The country is known as endemic for malaria and respiratory infections. main objective of this to estimate prevalence SCD; secondary evaluate its association with infections.This a cross-sectional which carried out rural village south east coast Madagascar between May 2011 November 2013. Participants were children aged 2-59 months presenting fever measured by axillary temperature ≥37.5 °C at inclusion....
