<ns4:p>The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in China and transmission to more than 80 territories worldwide, including nine countries Africa, presents a delicate situation for low-resource settings. Countries Eastern Central Africa have been on high alert since mid-2018 anticipation regional spread the Ebola virus from Democratic Republic Congo. Significant investment has made support enhanced surveillance at point entry hospitals, infection control practices, clinical case management, research. With...
Abstract Background Transverse colon volvulus is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. It a surgical emergency that can lead to bowel infarction, peritonitis, and death. Case presentation We report case transverse in 35-year-old Congolese immigrant man who had rare with features obstruction associated right lung collapse left mediastinal shift. Conclusion This unusual because it presented respiratory mimicked pneumothorax addition The use point-of-care ultrasound was helpful ruling...
Abstract Background Twelve-month mortality in sepsis survivors has not been previously characterized sub-Saharan Africa. Methods Hospitalized adults with ≥ 2 modified systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria (temperature < 36°C or > 38°C, heart rate 90 beats per minute, respiratory 20 breaths minute) were enrolled at a tertiary care centre from October 2017 to August 2022. Multiple clinical blood and molecular antigen assays used identify infectious etiologies. Baseline...
Abstract Background Despite many studies evaluating lung ultrasound (LUS) for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prognostication, the generalizability and utility across clinical settings are uncertain. Methods Adults (≥18 years of age) with COVID-19 were enrolled at 2 military hospitals, an emergency department, home visits, a homeless shelter in United States, referral hospital Uganda. Participants had 12-zone LUS scan performed time enrollment clips read off-site. The primary outcome was...
Helminths are an important cause of worm infestation in low-income countries. The majority spread with soil to skin contact. In unusual patients presenting below 1 year, treatment can be challenging. disease self-limiting; however, is believed reduce progression more serious disease. Here, we present a case 3-month-old cutaneous larva migrans.
Background: Twelve-month mortality in sepsis survivors has not been previously characterized sub-Saharan Africa.Methods: Hospitalized adults with ≥ 2 modified systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria (temperature < 36°C or > 38°C, heart rate 90 beats per minute, respiratory 20 breaths minute) were enrolled at a tertiary care centre from October 2017 to August 2022. Multiple clinical blood and molecular antigen assays used identify infectious etiologies. Baseline demographics...
Abstract Background The fluid status and causes of respiratory failure in patients with Ebola disease can be challenging to determine due concomitant severe diarrhea, vascular leakage, multiorgan failure. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) could guide resuscitation for resource-limited settings. We present the clinical application POCUS 2022 Sudan Virus outbreak Uganda. Figure. Ultrasound findings from patient 2. 2A: Discrete B lines observed an irregular pleural line; 2B: Inferior vena cava...
Abstract Background Survival prediction models have largely been derived and validated only in high-resource Western countries or single center studies. We sought to create a model for 28-day mortality using laboratory physiologic parameters from 3 international sepsis cohorts externally the model. Methods During 2014 2021, adult hospitalized patients with suspected infection were enrolled Durham, United States (N=180) those ≥2 SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) criteria Takeo,...
Helminths are an important cause of infection in poorly developed countries. The Majority spread with soil to skin contact. In unusual patients presenting below 1 year, treatment can be challenging. disease self-limiting, reduces progression serious disease. Here, we present a three-month-old Cutaneous Larva Migrans.
