Dengue and malaria are infections, of great public health concern, especially in sub-Saharan Africa where the burden HIV infection is high. This study was conducted to determine seroprevalence dengue virus IgG antibodies dengue/malaria coinfection among febrile HIV-infected patients attending University Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, Abuja.
Data on Dengue virus (DENV) infection prevalence, geographic distribution and risk factors are necessary to direct appropriate utilization of existing emerging control strategies. This study aimed determine the pooled DENV circulating serotypes within Nigeria from January 1, 2009 December 31, 2020.Twenty-one studies out 2,215 available articles were eligible included for this systematic review. Relevant searched, screened in according Preferred Reporting Items Systematic reviews...
The clinical symptoms, cellular immune response, and serum cytokine homeostasis during falciparum malaria among children living in endemic regions depend on the parasite densities. This study aims to evaluate CD4
Background Individuals with human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type-1 (HTLV-1)/HIV-1 coinfection have been demonstrated to undergo CD4+ lymphocytosis even in the face of immunodeficiency and increased vulnerability opportunistic pathogens that can lead poor prognosis. Objective This study investigated prevalence as well effects HIV-1/HTLV-1 on cell counts, routine hematology, biochemical parameters participants. Materials Methods prospective cross-sectional involved 184 blood samples collected...
As the incidence of Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) continues to rise, many countries have been seeking for medical assistance such as donation or procurement laboratory test kits and strips. These consumables are largely intended use in investigations COVID-19 cases, suspected contacts, asymptomatic persons discharging cured persons. Thus, this article was instigated update remind healthcare providers policymakers (especially those developing countries) on principles sample collections,...
OBJECTIVES West Nile virus (WNV) is a re-emerging mosquito-borne viral infection. This study investigated the pooled prevalence pattern and risk factors of WNV infection among humans animals in Nigeria. METHODS A systematic review was conducted eligible studies published PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web Science from January 1, 1950 to August 30, 2020. Peer-reviewed cross-sectional describing infections were systematically reviewed. Heterogeneity assessed using Cochrane Q statistic....
Introduction. Several biomedical findings have established the effects of hypertension on haemostasis and roles blood coagulation products in clinical course hypertension. Methods. This cross-sectional study aimed at determining prothrombin time (PT) activated partial thromboplastin (APTT) hypertensive patients comparison with normotensive subjects attending a tertiary hospital Calabar. Forty-two (42) thirty-nine (39) control were investigated for PT APTT using Quick one-stage methods....
There is no doubt that antibiotics have saved the human race from a lot of suffering due to bacterial disease burden.Without these drugs, millions people would succumbed infectious diseases.Regrettably, antibiotic resistance (ABR) threatens effective treatment pathogens.The incidence ABR and emergence multidrug-resistance bacteria are on increase has been considered major public health issue.In view this, we conducted this review relevant published articles using extensive literature search...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Several illicit drugs have been linked to derangement of many hematological indices which can lead host tissues and / or organs dysfunctions.The purpose this study was determine the effects different psychoactive substances on parameters subjects. METHOD: The included 200 substance abusers 50 non-substance comprising 235 males 15 females. All subjects were investigated routinely using tests urine toxicology assess use. These grouped according type drug, duration...
Background: Leishmania Donovani (L. donovani) is an obligate intracellular pathogen. L. donovani and HIV co-infection neglected clinical entity in sub-Saharan African. infections have been shown to deplete host cellular immunity proceed severe diseases. As part of the ongoing research efforts Nigeria improve healthcare infected individuals through diagnosis treatment co-infections with leishmaniasis, this study was instigated.
 Methods & Materials: Three hundred forty blood samples...

For over 6 months of its emergence, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causative agent disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, has resulted to unprecedented global health challenge and economic uncertainties. The pandemic swiftly disseminated almost all countries territories world. index case in Nigeria was imported by an Italian citizen on February 27, 2020. Typical a novel tract viral infection, spread SARS-CoV-2 slow first few days. However, as at 8:00 AM GMT+1,...
Despite the efforts to encourage intake of nutritional supplements during antenatal periods, there are still many cases anemia and protein-energy malnutrition pregnancy. Hence, this study determined incidence anemia, malnutrition, associated risk factors among pregnant women in Abuja, Nigeria.
Background and Aims: Iron Deficiency (ID) is a common obstetric problem nutritional disorder that occurs mostly in developing countries. Hence, studies are required every few years to determine the necessary healthcare interventions for pregnant women. This cross-sectional study evaluated plasma iron, ferritin, transferrin, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), unsaturated (UIBC) levels of women referred University Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, Abuja, Nigeria. Materials Methods: Blood...
