A Multicountry Molecular Analysis of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi With Reduced Susceptibility to Ciprofloxacin in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Al-Emran, HM; Ali, M; Baker, S; Biggs, HM; Bjerregaard-Andersen, M; Breiman, RF; Clemens, JD; ... (41 authors) (Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)BACKGROUND: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi is a predominant cause of bloodstream infections in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Increasing numbers of S. Typhi with resistance to ciprofloxacin have been reported from different ... -
Bloodstream Infections and Frequency of Pretreatment Associated With Age and Hospitalization Status in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Aaby, P; Ahmed El Tayeb, M; Ali, M; Aseffa, A; Baker, S; Bjerregaard-Andersen, M; Breiman, RF; ... (45 authors) (Clin Infect Dis, 2015-11-01)BACKGROUND: The clinical diagnosis of bacterial bloodstream infections (BSIs) in sub-Saharan Africa is routinely confused with malaria due to overlapping symptoms. The Typhoid Surveillance in Africa Program (TSAP) recruited ... -
The Relationship Between Invasive Nontyphoidal Salmonella Disease, Other Bacterial Bloodstream Infections, and Malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Aaby, P; Adu-Sarkodie, Y; Ahmet Niang, A; Ali, M; Aseffa, A; Baker, S; Biggs, HM; ... (45 authors) (Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)BACKGROUND: Country-specific studies in Africa have indicated that Plasmodium falciparum is associated with invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella (iNTS) disease. We conducted a multicenter study in 13 sites in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, ... -
The Typhoid Fever Surveillance in Africa Program (TSAP): Clinical, Diagnostic, and Epidemiological Methodologies.
Aaby, P; Adu-Sarkodie, Y; Ali, M; Aseffa, A; Baker, S; Bjerregaard-Andersen, M; Breiman, RF; ... (32 authors) (Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)BACKGROUND: New immunization programs are dependent on data from surveillance networks and disease burden estimates to prioritize target areas and risk groups. Data regarding invasive Salmonella disease in sub-Saharan Africa ... -
Utilization of Healthcare in the Typhoid Fever Surveillance in Africa Program.
Aaby, P; Adu-Sarkodie, Y; Ali, M; Aseffa, A; Baker, S; Bjerregaard-Andersen, M; Crump, John Andrew; ... (33 authors) (Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)BACKGROUND: Assessing healthcare utilization is important to identify weaknesses of healthcare systems, to outline action points for preventive measures and interventions, and to more accurately estimate the disease burden ... -
Validation and Identification of Invasive Salmonella Serotypes in Sub-Saharan Africa by Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction.
Aaby, P; Adu-Sarkodie, Y; Al-Emran, HM; Ali, M; Bjerregaard-Andersen, M; Crump, John Andrew; Cruz Espinoza, LM; ... (36 authors) (Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) cause the majority of bloodstream infections in sub-Saharan Africa; however, serotyping is rarely performed. We validated a multiplex polymerase chain reaction ...
