Introduction: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous that infects more than 90% of the world's population, and implicated in lymphoma pathogenesis. However, Zambia during diagnosis these lymphomas, association with lymphomas not established. Since most patients have poor prognosis, identification within lesion will allow for targeted therapy. The aim this study was to provide evidence presence EBV diagnosed at University Teaching Hospital (UTH) Lusaka, Zambia.
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have previously been reported to infect epithelial trophoblast cells of the placenta. To investigate this possibility, 200 placental samples from Zambian women were separated into HIV+ and HIV- groups tested for HPV by redundant primer PCR, using GP5+/GP6+ CPI/CPII sets. Three genotypes (HPV6, 16 90) detected in samples. Whereas, 20 different vaginal sampling same patients, suggesting that compartment specific sub-populations may exist. The incidence HPV16 was...
Human herpes virus-8, a γ2-herpes virus, is the aetiological agent of Kaposi sarcoma. Recently, Kaposi's sarcoma cases have increased in Zambia. However, diagnosis this disease based on morphological appearance affected tissues using histological techniques, and association with its causative agent, Herpes virus 8 not sought. This means poor prognosis for patients since targeted during KS lesions may be mistaken other reactive neoplastic vascular proliferations when only techniques are used....
Objective: Influenza afflicts approximately 5% - 20% of the US population annually. Although prevalence statistics are useful, they insufficient to understand completely influenza on a health care system. This study estimated Nebraska’s annual hospitalization and comorbidity rates due from 2007 2011. Methods: was defined according ICD-9-CM primary codes beginning with 487 or 488 in hospital discharge records. The comorbidities patients were secondary diagnosis codes. Results: highest yearly...
