In May 2005, visceral leishmaniasis (VL) was recognized for the first time in Libo Kemken, Ethiopia, a highland region where only few cases had been reported before. We analyzed records of VL patients treated from 25, 2005 to December 13, 2007 by treatment center area, maintained Médecins Sans Frontières-Ethiopia, Operational Center Barcelona-Athens. The median age 18 years; 77.6% were male. overall case fatality rate 4%, but adults 45 years or older five times as likely die 5-29 year olds....
Abstract Aim To describe the aetiology and clinical characteristics of acute peripheral facial palsy (PFP) in children investigate utility European Federation Neurological Societies (EFNS) criteria for diagnosing Borrelia‐related PFP (BPFP) based on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) testing Centers Disease Control Prevention (CDC) serology. Methods We retrospectively identified aged <18 years diagnosed with between 2014 2020. used EFNS as gold standard CDC BPFP. Results Out 257 PFP, 93 (36%)...
BackgroundThere are few reports describing the epidemiology of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Somalia. Over years 2002 to 2005, a yearly average 140 patients were reported from Huddur centre Bakool region, whereas 2006, this number rose 1002 patients. Given limited amount information on VL and opportunity compare features with studies done 2000 part Somalia, we describe epidemiologic clinical who presented treatment using data routinely collected over five-year observation period...
