Streptococcus pyogenes remains one of the top ten causes mortality from infectious diseases. Children in low-income nations have high carrier rates pyogenes, which can serve as a source infections, including simple superficial infections that may lead to invasive and post-streptococcal diseases, particularly among schoolchildren. This study aimed assess prevalence associated factors, antimicrobial susceptibility profiles urban rural public schoolchildren Gondar City, Northwest Ethiopia. A...
Abstract Background Cervical cancer is a major public health problem. In the world, cervical fourth most common among women and it one of leading causes mortality in females. It second Ethiopia with almost 6300 new cases 4884 deaths annually. Despite high burden deaths, there scarcity data on knowledge, attitude practices (KAP) towards screening female university students particularly study area. Therefore, present was aimed to assess KAP undergraduate screening. Methods An institution based...
Background: Various studies have reported that the emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis poses a significant threat to tuberculosis-control programs worldwide. Rifampicin resistance is surrogate marker multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, since it reveals presence greater than 90% isoniazid resistance. Evidence on rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium scarce in literature. Objective: To determine prevalence M. among tuberculosis-presumptive cases at University Gondar Hospital. Materials and...
There are numerous advantages offered by street vended foods, but evidence exists that foods exposed for sale on the road side may be contaminated pathogenic microorganisms. However, information bacteriological profile, bacterial load and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of isolates from food in Gondar town lacking. The aim this study was to assess load, among also hygienic practice vendors town, Northwest Ethiopia. Socio-demographic characteristics practices 24 were collected using...
An ear infection is responsible for up to 40% of preventable hearing impairment; one the reasons frequent and unwise antibiotic usage, especially in developing world. Since incidence resistance increasing, resource-limited countries, up-to-date knowledge on susceptibility ear-discharge isolates important better patient treatment. Therefore, this study aimed at determining bacterial etiologies their profiles among patients suspected with infections.
Milk is a complete and highly nutritious source of food for human beings. However, in many developing countries, including Ethiopia, the quality milk products has become major health concern consumers, particularly infants children. Therefore, aim present study was to assess raw pasteurized marketed Gondar city, Northwest Ethiopia. A laboratory-based cross-sectional conducted on 90 samples. The samples were chosen using simple random sampling technique. For statistical analysis, ANOVA...
Background Multidrug resistance Salmonellosis remains an important public health problem globally. The disease is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries, but there have been limited recent studies about prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, multidrug patterns Salmonella isolates from various clinical specimens. Objective Aimed to assess specimens at University Gondar Comprehensive Specialised Hospital, northwestern Ethiopia. Method A retrospective...
Hepatitis B virus infection is one of the commonest occupational risks in healthcare workers. However; there limited evidence regarding prevalence hepatitis health professionals Ethiopia. This study was aimed at assessing and associated factors professionals. Institution based cross-sectional conducted among University Gondar Hospital from January to February, 2015. Self-administered questionnaire used collect sociodemographic variables blood sample also taken determine sero-status. Chi...
Globally, the deterioration of drinking water quality is a major public health problem that contributes to spread disease and causes death. Therefore, it important have regular control monitoring. This study aimed assess level physicochemical bacteriological household its contributing factors in flood-prone settlements South Gondar Zone, Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional was conducted settings Northwest Ethiopia from January 17 March 30, 2021. Structured questionnaires were used...
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a public health problem worldwide. Hepatitis B virus infection (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and syphilis among the STIs. Female sex workers (FSWs) continue to be high-risk group for STIs due variety of factors, including exposure unsafe sexual practices. Therefore, this study determines seroprevalence HBV, HCV, Treponema palladium, associated factors FSWs in Gondar town, Northwest Ethiopia.A cross-sectional was conducted on 194 from March June 2021...
Background. Resistance among the commensal flora is a serious threat because they are highly populated ecosystems like gut, maybe source of extraintestinal infections. Infections due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)- and carbapenemase (CPM)-producing Enterobacteriaceae family bacteria impose major global issue usually resistant multiple antimicrobial agents. Data on fecal ESBL- CPM-producing group in developing countries including Ethiopia limited mainly resource constraints. Thus,...
Abstract Background: The burden of bloodstream infection and antibiotic resistance in intensive care unit (ICU) is high when compared with other settings. data on the changing trends are important for control activities. There no sufficient units this hospital. Objective: aims study were to assess magnitude risk factors bacterial pathogens their patterns blood culture isolates from ICU patients at University Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Gondar, Ethiopia. Materials Methods: A...
Abstract Background In the world, cervical cancer is an easily preventable disease and it one of leading causes mortality in females. It second most common women Ethiopia. The aim present study was to assess KAP undergraduate female students towards screening, prevention, control. Methods A cross-sectional conducted April 2018 at University Gondar, College Medicine Health Sciences students. Pretested, self-administered questionnaire used for data collection. Four hundred three were recruited...
Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing threat to health systems which leads treatment failure, high costs and increased mortality. Infections due extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae(CPE) impose a major global issues, because they are usually multiple antimicrobial agents. Data on the fecal ESBL Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) CPE in developing countries including Ethiopia limited mainly resource constraints. Thus, aim of this...
Background: The burden of blood stream infection and antibiotic resistance in intensive care unit (ICU) is higher when compared with other settings. data on the rate changing trends are important for control activities. aim this study was to assess magnitude risk factors bacterial pathogens their patterns culture isolates from ICU patients at University Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Materials Methods: A cross-sectional conducted February May 2018. Blood...
Abstract Background: Drinking water quality deterioration is a big issue in many countries which could be result of interconnected biological, physical, and chemical factors. The main contaminants sources are human excreta, animal waste, effluent agricultural practices. Even if the source safe, may also become faecally contaminated during collection, transportation, storage, drawing home. Furthermore, better does not lead to full health benefits absence improved storage sanitation....
Abstract Background In many nations, the deterioration of drinking water quality is a major problem that may be caused by variety interrelated biological, physical, and chemical causes. Human feces, animal waste, effluent farming activities are main pollutants supplies. Even if source clean, process collecting, transporting, storing, drawing in home can all lead to faecal contamination. addition, without improved storage sanitation, better supply doesn't always result full health benefits....
