Infections by Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-Ec) are on the increase in Ghana, but level of environmental contamination with this organism, which may contribute to growing Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), is unknown. Using WHO OneHealth Tricycle Protocol, we investigated E. (Ec) and ESBL-Ec two rivers Ghana (Odaw Accra Okurudu Kasoa) that receive effluents from human animal wastewater hotspots over a 12-month period. Concentrations Ec, percent ESBL-Ec/Ec...
Abstract Background WHO’s directly observed therapy (DOT) strategy for tuberculosis (TB) treatment depends upon a well–organized healthcare system. This study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of self-administered drug intake supported by family member versus in-clinic DOT. Methods open–label, nationally-representative stratified cluster randomized controlled non–inferiority trial with two parallel equal arms involved drug–susceptible pulmonary TB patients in continuation phase. We...
Management of urinary tract infections is challenged by increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) worldwide. In this study, we describe the trends in uropathogens isolated from largest private sector laboratory Ghana over a five-year period. We reviewed positive urine cultures at MDS Lancet Laboratories 2017 to 2021. The proportions with oral and parenteral antimicrobials recommended standard treatment guidelines were determined. proportion multi-drug resistant isolates, ESBL...
The recently emerged novel coronavirus, "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)," caused a highly contagious disease called coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). It has severely damaged the world's most developed countries and turned into major threat for low- middle-income countries. Since its emergence in late 2019, medical interventions have been substantial, relied on public health measures collectively known as nonpharmaceutical (NPIs). We aimed to centralize accumulative...
Introduction: MDR/RR-TB is a growing problem in Kyrgyzstan. In 2005, the country introduced standard or individualized treatment for 20-24 months. Because of poor outcomes, 2017 short with strict eligibility criteria was introduced. The aim this study to compare characteristics and outcomes patients receiving (9-12 months) those (20-24 2016/2017.
 Methodology: A comparative cohort using routine programmatic data. Characteristics, sputum culture conversion were compared between on...
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) are major global public health challenges in our time. This study provides a broader updated overview of AMR trends surgical wards Mulago National Referral Hospital (MNRH) between 2014 2018. Laboratory data on the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles bacterial isolates from 428 patient samples were available. The most common as follows: tracheal aspirates (36.5%), pus swabs (28.0%), blood (20.6%). Klebsiella (21.7%),...
The COVID-19 pandemic and public health response to the has caused huge setbacks in management of other infectious diseases. In present study, we aimed (i) assess trends numbers samples from patients with influenza-like illness severe acute respiratory syndrome tested for influenza number proportion cases detected 2015−2021 (ii) examine if there were changes during period (2020−2021) compared pre-COVID-19 (2015−2019) three states India. median (IQR) per month was 653 (395−1245), 27 (11−98)...
To compare the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria isolated from inpatient and outpatient samples Ecuador.A secondary analysis was done data on samples. Data were taken 2018 national surveillance database National Reference Center for Antimicrobial Resistance. The variables included were: age, sex, versus setting, type specimen, bacterial species identified, pattern to antibiotics, geographic area.Data 57 305 isolates study: 48.8% hospitalized patients, 55.7% women, 60.1%...
Patan Hospital, Lalitpur, Nepal.To describe 1) the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and its antibiotic sensitivity pattern; 2) demographic clinical characteristics associated with MRSA infections; 3) treatment outcomes in-patients infection among patients S. between January 2018 December 2020.This was a cross-sectional study using electronic paper-based hospital records infection.Of 1,804 infection, 1,027 (57%, 95% CI 55-59) had MRSA. The were susceptible to...

Tuberculosis and tobacco prove to be increasingly apparent world problems. Armenia is a developing country which facing issues related the high rates of consumption. Moreover, it among list multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB burden countries. Treatment success rate in for sputum smear-positive cases never reached World Health Organization's (WHO) target 85% last 15 years. Data from different studies completed across suggests that there an association between smoking negative treatment...
Tuberculosis treatment is challenging, especially among people with drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis. The introduction fully oral modified short regimen has a great potential to shorten duration treatment, improve safety and ultimately increase success rate. In 2019 Georgia piloted the shorter in routine programmatic condition. Our study aimed evaluate effectiveness first 25 consecutively enrolled patients rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis proven sensitivity fluoroquinolone without prior...
The Structured Operational Research and Training Initiative (SORT IT) model has contributed to building research capacity produced evidence for improving public health program performance in countries with limited capacity. involves hands-on mentorship consists of three modules/weeks. It is recognized be an innovative model. In a world changed by COVID-19, where bringing people together not viable, innovative, interactive, web-based, knowledge-transfer platform (e-SORT virtual implementation...
People who inject drugs (PWID) are one of the key populations most vulnerable to HIV infection, with 28 times higher prevalence compared rest population. PWID known have many physical, psychological and lifestyle challenges that can influence access care. Depression is common among living HIV. It has major effect on health-related quality life (HRQoL) influencing adherence antiretroviral therapy. This study was conducted explore how anxiety depression affect HRQoL HIV-positive in Ukraine....
Introduction: Adherence to tuberculosis (TB) treatment as an important determinant for the successful cure of patients can be increased by focusing on patient satisfaction. The objective this study was evaluate satisfaction with TB services, different aspects satisfaction, and demographic, health characteristics associated satisfaction.

The treatment of childhood tuberculosis can be challenging due to the lack pediatric drug formulations and monitoring drug-toxicity in routine settings. There are no published studies from Uzbekistan on adverse reactions (ADR) associated with anti-tuberculosis children. In this study, we aimed investigate ADR This was a cohort study using secondary program data children treated at city regional clinics Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Of 302 patients evaluated, 135 (44.7%) reported ADR. New registered...
We assessed the performance of decentralised tuberculosis (TB) out-patient centres in case notification and treatment success Armenia. An average threshold ⩾37/100 000 was seen that had higher numbers presumptive TB patients, where more diagnosed by in-patient facilities contacts were examined. The number doctors and/or specialists at did not influence notification. Onsite smear microscopy significantly associated with a rate ⩾85% for new patients. Addressing specific characteristics lower...
