Atypical manifestations of dengue
Tập 12 Số 9 - Trang 1087-1095 - 2007
SummaryAs the spread of dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever is increasing,
atypical manifestations are also on the rise, although they may be under
reported because of lack of awareness. This review compiles descriptions of
atypical manifestations of dengue, such as dengue encephalitis, dengue
myocarditis, dengue hepatitis and dengue cholecystitis.

SummaryObjectives To identify the gaps of knowledge and highlight the
challenges and opportunities for controlling cervical cancer in sub‐Saharan
Africa (SSA).Methods A comprehensive review of peer‐reviewed literature to
summarize the epidemiological data on human papillomavirus (HPV) and invasive
cervical cancer (ICC) by HIV status, to review feasible and effective cervical
screening strategies...

Are poor responses to praziquantel for the treatment of Schistosoma mansoni infections in Senegal due to resistance? An overview of the evidence
Tập 6 Số 11 - Trang 864-873 - 2001
This paper summarizes and concludes in‐depth field investigations on suspected
resistance of Schistosoma mansoni to praziquantel in northern Senegal.
Praziquantel at 40 mg/kg usually cures 70–90% of S. mansoni infections. In an
initial trial in an epidemic S. mansoni focus in northern Senegal, only 18% of
the cases became parasitologically negative 12 weeks after treatment, although
the reduction ...
Clinical and laboratory features that distinguish dengue from other febrile illnesses in endemic populations
Tập 13 Số 11 - Trang 1328-1340 - 2008
SummaryObjective Clinicians in resource‐poor countries need to identify
patients with dengue using readily‐available data. The objective of this
systematic review was to identify clinical and laboratory features that
differentiate dengue fever (DF) and/or dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) from
other febrile illnesses (OFI) in dengue–endemic populations.Method Systematic
review of the literature fr...
Epidemiology and geography of Schistosoma mansoni in Uganda: implications for planning control
Tập 9 Số 3 - Trang 372-380 - 2004
SummaryIntestinal schistosomiasis caused by infection with Schistosoma mansoni
is a widespread public health problem in Uganda. Although long known to be
endemic, its current distribution within the country requires updating of
parasitological data to help guide planned control. We report such data
collected between 1998 and 2002 from 201 schools and 68 communities across
Uganda. In accordance wit...
High‐throughput assays for detection of the F1534C mutation in the voltage‐gated sodium channel gene in permethrin‐resistant Aedes aegypti and the distribution of this mutation throughout Thailand
Tập 16 Số 4 - Trang 501-509 - 2011
SummaryObjectives To develop rapid monitoring tools to detect the F1534C
permethrin‐resistance mutation in domain IIIS6 of the Aedes aegypti
voltage‐gated sodium channel gene and determine the frequency and distribution
of this mutation in Thailand.Methods A TaqMan SNP genotyping and an allele
specific PCR (AS‐PCR) assay were developed and validated by comparison with DNA
sequencing of homozygou...

Early treatment of childhood fevers with pre‐packaged antimalarial drugs in the home reduces severe malaria morbidity in Burkina Faso
Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 133-139 - 2003
SummaryIn rural, malaria‐endemic Burkina Faso, we evaluated the impact of the
use of pre‐packaged antimalarial drugs (PPAM), by mothers in the home, on the
progression of disease in children from uncomplicated fever to severe malaria.
In each village of one province, a core group of opinion leaders (mainly older
mothers) was trained in the management of uncomplicated malaria, including the
adminis...
