Background To develop effective antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), it is important to identify key targets improving use. We sought systematically describe the prevalence patterns of use in three LMIC hospitals. Methods Consecutive patients admitted adult medical wards tertiary care hospitals Tanzania, Kenya, Sri Lanka were enrolled 2018–2019. The record was reviewed clinical information including type duration antimicrobials prescribed,...

Solid organ transplantation has evolved along with dramatic advancements in definitive treatment for irreversible and uncompensated failure. Transplanted survival improved as a result of reduced allograft rejection. However, negative long-term outcomes which were largely due to the adverse effects rapidly evolving immunosuppressive regimens are still evident. The emergence malignancies following prolonged exposure immunosuppression affected quality life transplant recipients. They...
