Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is a global health threat. The kinetics of antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) need to be assessed, as the long-term duration these immunoglobulins remains largely controversial. aim this study was assess longitudinal dynamics anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein and receptor-binding domain (RBD) spike up one year in cohort 190 COVID-19 patients. Between March September 2021, we enrolled patients from two regional...
Objectives: Scarce and limited epidemiological, clinical microbiological data are available regarding paediatric respiratory tract infections in the Kingdom of Morocco, a middle-income country northwestern Africa.The results hospital-based surveillance aiming at describing aetiology epidemiology distress among children <5 years age presented.

Information about postpartum maternal morbidity in developing countries is limited and often based on information obtained from hospitals. As a result, the reports do not usually reflect true magnitude of obstetric complications poor management at delivery. In Morocco, little known morbidity. Our aim was to measure identify causes 6 weeks after delivery compare women's perception their health during this period medical diagnoses. We did cross-sectional study all women, independent place...
Summary Due to the introduction of newer, more efficacious treatment options, there is a pressing need for policy makers and public health officials develop or adapt national hepatitis C virus ( HCV ) control strategies changing epidemiological landscape. To do so, detailed, country‐specific data are needed characterize burden chronic infection. In this study 17 countries, literature review published unpublished on prevalence, viraemia, genotype, age gender distribution, liver transplants...
Summary Factors influencing the morbidity and mortality associated with viremic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection change over time place, making it difficult to compare reported estimates. Models were developed for 17 countries (Bahrain, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Colombia, Croatia, Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Ghana, Hong Kong, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco, Nigeria, Qatar Taiwan) quantify characterize population as well forecast changes in infected corresponding disease burden from 2015...
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) poses serious global public health problems. Characterization of the immune response, particularly antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, is important for establishing vaccine strategies. The purpose this study was evaluate longitudinally kinetics anti-SARS-CoV-2 against spike protein (S1) up 3 months in a cohort 169 COVID-19 patients. We enrolled patients at two regional hospitals Casablanca, Morocco,...
Summary The hepatitis C virus ( HCV ) epidemic was forecasted through 2030 for 17 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, interventions achieving Global Health Sector Strategy on viral targets—“ WHO Targets” (65% reduction ‐related deaths, 90% new infections of diagnosed by 2030) were considered. Scaling up treatment diagnosis rates over time would be required to achieve these targets all but one country, even with introduction high SVR therapies. scenarios...
Abstract Assessing the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG positivity through population-based serological surveys is crucial for monitoring COVID-19 vaccination efforts. In this study, we evaluated within a provincial cohort to understand magnitude humoral response against vaccine and inform evidence-based public health decisions. A community-based cross-sectional seroprevalence study was conducted, involving 10,669 participants who received various vaccines (two doses BBIBP-CorV/Sinopharm,...
After several decades of community-based interventions and surveillance, on Nov 15, 2016, Morocco was recognised by WHO as having eliminated trachoma a public health problem.1World Health OrganizationMorocco eliminates trachoma—the leading infectious cause blindness.

BackgroundMiddle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) remains a major concern for global public health. Dromedaries are the source of human zoonotic infection. MERS-CoV is enzootic among dromedaries on Arabian Peninsula, Middle and in Africa. Over 70% infected found However, all known cases MERS have occurred Peninsula with none being reported Africa.AimWe aimed to investigate serological evidence infection humans living camel-herding areas Morocco provide insights whether...
Data about the duration of antibodies after vaccination show that protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection begins to decline over time. This study aims determine anti-SARS-CoV-2 anti-S IgG levels in healthcare workers five months second dose. We collected samples from 82 participants who were fully vaccinated with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 or BBIBP-CorV. assessed using a Euroimmun ELISA and an Abbott Architect ™ test. Of participants, 65.85% seropositive for ELISA, 86.59% positive according Individuals...
microvascular and macrovascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are one the major causes morbidity mortality worldwide among patients with T2DM. This study aims to estimate prevalence these chronic identify associated risk factors Moroccan T2DM.this cross-sectional was conducted on 505 T2DM followed by healthcare Centers Casablanca-Settat region from January 2017 July 2018. The socio-demographic, anthropometric, biochemical, clinical data were recorded using a structured...
Recent studies have shown that in individuals who received two doses of COVID-19 vaccine, the level IgG antibodies decreased over time. In addition, resurgence epidemic due to variants has led authorities several countries, including Morocco, extend third dose entire adult population. this study, we included 43 healthcare workers (HCWs) were vaccinated with three doses. They ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 for first and BNT 162b2 or BBIBP-CorV vaccine dose. Humoral response was assessed on day injection one...
