Infectious disease prevention and control strategies require a coordinated, transnational approach. To establish core capacities of the International Health Regulations (IHR), World Organization (WHO) developed Integrated Diseases Surveillance Response (IDSR) strategy. Epidemic-prone Lassa fever, caused by virus, is an endemic in West African countries Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Benin, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Togo Nigeria. It's one major public health threats these countries. Here it reported...
To describe the characteristics of nosocomial cases Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Democratic Republic Congo between July 2018 and May 2020 order to inform future interventions.Nosocomial EVD were identified during outbreak response surveillance, a retrospective analysis was conducted according demographic type health facility (HF).Of 3481 EVD, 579 (16.6%) nosocomial. Of these, 332 occurred women (57.3%). Patients visitors accounted for 419 (72.4%), which 79 (18.9%) aged 6-≤18 years 108...
At the end of 2013-2016 Ebola virus disease outbreak in Guinea, we implemented an alert system for early detection resurgence among survivors. Survivors were asked to report health alerts their household and provide body fluid specimens laboratory testing. During April-September 2016, a total 1,075 (88%) 1,215 survivors participated system; follow up occurred at median 16 months after discharge (interquartile range 14-18 months). Of these, 784 acted as focal points reported 1,136 (including...
By the end of 2013–2016 West African Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreaks, a total 3814 cases (probable and confirmed) 2544 deaths were reported in Guinea. Clearly, surveillance activities aiming at stopping human-to-human transmission have been breakthrough EVD outbreak management, but their application has times easier said than done. This article presents five confirmed or probable that arose Conakry towards Guinea epidemic, which demonstrate flaws follow-up. For case 1, safe burial...
During the 2018-20 Ebola virus disease outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo, thousands patients received unprecedented vaccination, monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy, or both, leading to a large number survivors. We aimed report clinical, virological, viral genomic, and immunological features two previously vaccinated mAb-treated survivors Congo who developed second episodes months after initial discharge, ultimately complicated by fatal meningoencephalitis associated with persistence.
Abstract Little is known about respiratory viruses infection in Guinea. Influenza surveillance has not been implemented Guinea mainly because of the paucity laboratory infrastructure and capacity. This paper presents first influenza data Swabs were obtained from August 2018 through December 2019 at sentinel sites transported to Institut National de Santé Publique for testing. Ribonucleic acid was extracted tested presence A B by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction...
