Objectives: Multicenter data on the characteristics and outcomes of children hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 are limited. Our objective was to describe characteristics, ICU admissions, among using Society Critical Care Medicine Discovery Viral Infection Respiratory Illness Universal Study: Coronavirus Disease registry. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Study (Coronavirus 2019) Patients: Children (< 18 yr) at participating hospitals from February 2020 January 2021....
Nigeria is endemic for cholera since 1970, and Kano State report outbreaks annually with high case fatality ratios ranging from 4.98%/2010 to 5.10%/2018 over the last decade. However, interventions focused on prevention control have been hampered by a lack of understanding hotspot Local Government Areas (LGAs) that trigger sustain yearly outbreaks. The goal this study was identify categorize hotspots in inform national plan disease elimination State. We obtained LGA level confirmed suspected...
Despite availability of effective cure, tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading cause death in children. In many high-burden countries, childhood TB is underdiagnosed and underreported, care often accessed too late, resulting adverse treatment outcomes. this study, we examined the time to its associated factors among cohort children that commenced large centre northern Nigeria.This retrospective study started between 2010 2014. We determined mortality rates per 100 person-months treatment, as...
Emerging African countries are characterized by explosive population growth and urbanization, which threaten environmental sustainability. This study comparatively ambient aerosols assessed cytotoxicity to facilitate improving health policy. Twenty-four air samples were collected at high low-density traffic sites in Kano State using polysulfone stainless steel filters attached an automated pump. The physico-chemical properties of particulate matter determined scanning electron microscopy...
Kano is one of the high-risk states for polio transmission in Northern Nigeria. The state reported more cases wild polioviruses (WPVs) than any other country. Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey 2013 indicated that OPV3 coverage routine immunization (RI) programmewas 57.9%. Additionally, serial seroprevalence studies conducted from 2011 to 2015 eightmetropolitan LGAs low immunity levels against all three serotypes children below year. Areas with sub-optimal RI such as Kanothat fail remove...
Background Patent and proprietary medicine vendors (PPMVs) are widespread in communities can potentially be used to expand access routine immunization especially underserved areas. In this study, we aimed assess their readiness implement Kano, Nigeria identify factors associated with it.Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey of PPMVs aged 18 years above Kano metropolis, Nigeria, using cluster sampling technique. A 10-item Likert scale-based measure was estimate score. The relationship...

Abstract Cholera is endemic in Nigeria, and Kano State reports outbreaks yearly with a case fatality rate (CFR) of 3.3% from 2010 to 2019. The lack data at ward level has enabled the disease evade focused interventions. goal this study was describe geographic distributions, care-seeking behaviors, Spatio-temporal cluster patterns micro-hotspots (hotspots wards) linked suspected confirmed cases deaths cholera State. Suspected morbidity mortality 2010-2019 were acquired Nigeria Centre for...
Introduction: Nigeria experienced a multi-state outbreak of Cerebrospinal Meningitis (CSM) from Neisseria meningitides serogroup C (Nmc) in March 2017. Kano State, one the affected 22 states reported its first two confirmed CSM cases on 22nd NFELTP residents were deployed to state determine magnitude and characterize it time, place, person, carry out response activities control outbreak.
Introduction: measles is a highly contagious infection and leading cause of vaccine-preventable childhood mortality. It being targeted for elimination in at least five WHO regions by the year 2020. We reviewed secondary data on suspected cases reported to Kano State Ministry Health describe epidemiology trend state.
