Background On March 7, 2024 the Ministry of Health (MoH) was notified a rising number inmates with suspected conjunctivitis in Luzira prisons Uganda. We investigated this outbreak to determine its cause and extent, identify risk factors recommend evidence-based control measures. Methods four prisons: Kampala Remand Prison (KRP), Murchison Bay (MBP), Upper (LUP) Women (LWP). A case onset redness one or both eyes at least 1 tearing, discharge, grainy sensation, itching, pain, swelling, any...
Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a global challenge, and its control depends on robust evidence primarily derived from surveillance systems.
ABSTRACT Background Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is silent global pandemic. Our current control strategies are informed by evidence primarily from surveillance strategies. Here, we use a national dataset to demonstrate how such can be systematically generated, in so doing characterize ABR profiles of priority clinical pathogens and identify potential drivers addition inferences on antibiotic usage Uganda. Results the 12,262 samples cultured between 2019-2021, 9,033 with complete metadata were...
