Nodding syndrome is a devastating neurological disorder of uncertain aetiology affecting children in Africa. There no diagnostic test, and risk factors symptoms that would allow early diagnosis are poorly documented. This study aimed to describe the clinical, electrophysiological brain imaging (MRI) features complications nodding Ugandan children.Case series.22 with brought Mulago National Referral Hospital for assessment.Clinical features, physical functional disabilities, EEG MRI findings...
Abstract Prior research suggests that fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder and major depressive disorder, could be repurposed against COVID-19. We undertook prospective interventional open-label cohort study to evaluate efficacy tolerability fluvoxamine among inpatients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in Uganda. The main outcome was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes were hospital discharge complete...
Globally, there are prevailing knowledge gaps in the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and outcomes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among children adolescents; these especially wide African countries. The availability robust age-disaggregated data is a critical first step improving on disease burden manifestations 2019 (COVID-19) children. Furthermore, it essential to improve understanding SARS-CoV-2 interactions with comorbidities coinfections...
