    PrEVALENCE OF INTESTINAL Nematodes AMONG ChildrEN BELOW TEN YEARS ATTENDING KiwokO Hospital Pediatric Unit, Kasana, Nakaseke, District, Uganda. Henry Pecos NvuleA A Faculty OF Health Sciences , Uganda Martyrs University, Uganda AbstrACT Background:A INTESTINAL NEMATODES ARE AMONG THE MOST COMMON PARASITES INFECTING HUMANS IN DEVELOPING countries, PRECISE ESTIMATES OF THE POPULATIONS AT RISK OF INFECTION ARE DIffiCULT TO derive. TherEFORE TO UNDERSTAND THE DISEASE BURDEN THERE IS A NEED FOR RELIABLE DATA ON THE PREVALENCE OF INFECTION AS WELL AS INFORMATION ON THE RISK FACTORS OF infection. Methodology: 99 STOOL SAMPLES WERE COLLECTED FROM CHILDREN WHO PRESENTED WITH diarrhea, FEver, ITCHY ANUS OPENING ALL SYMPTOMS OF INTESTINAL NEMATODE infection. Stool SAMPLES WERE SCREENED USING THE DIRECT SALINE method. Samples NEGATIVE BY DIRECT SALINE WERE FURTHER EXAMINED USING THE FORMAL ETHER TECHNIQUE AND STAINED BY EOSIN FOR VISUALIZATION OF PARASITES eggs. A QUESTIONNAIRE WAS ADMINISTERED TO THEIR GUARdians/parENTS TO ASSESS THE RISK FACTORS OF infection. Results: The PREVALENCE OF INTESTINAL NEMATODE INFECTION WAS FOUND TO BE 62.6% (62/99). The INTESTINAL NEMATODE INFECTION RATE WAS FOUND TO BE HIGHER IN CHILDREN OVER fiVE YEARS AS COMPARED TO CHILDREN BELOW fiVE YEARS WITH A PREVALENCE OF 64.2% (43/67) AND 59.4% (19/32) RESPECTIVELY. The PREVALENCE OF INFECTION BY SEX WAS 66% (31/47) IN MALES AND 59.6% (31/52) IN females. Ascaris LUMBRICOIDES WERE THE MOST PREVALENT PARASITE IDENTIfiED IN 25 OF THE 62 PATIENTS INFECTED WITH INTESTINAL nematodes. This WAS FOLLOWED BY Hookworm (17/62), TRICHURIS TRICHIURA (12/62), AND StrONGYLOIDES STERCORALIS (8/62). Poor HYGIENE WAS THE MOST COMMON RISK FACTOR CITED FOLLOWED BY ILLITERACY AND POVERTY.

  • Overcoming the Challenges of COVID-19 Together Responding to a Global Crisis
    Overcoming the challenges of COVID-19 together Responding to a global crisis Adara believes that everyone has the right to quality health and education services, no matter where they live. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed communities around the world to significant challenges in accessing healthcare, education, and other basic needs and services like food, protection, and social interaction. Crises like these tend to worsen existing inequalities, and we know from previous epidemics that children and women, particularly the most deprived and marginalised, will likely be impacted for months and years to come. Adara is seeking support for our COVID-19 response in Uganda which seeks to: • undertake all mitigation, prevention, and response activities within our means to limit the impact of COVID-19, including providing training and awareness campaigns to health workers and the broader community; • provide protection to health workers through PPE and support health facilities with the necessary protocols, equipment, and supplies for addressing COVID-19, including our partner, Kiwoko Hospital; • and ensure continued access to essential Maternal Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) services to ensure mothers and babies continue to survive and thrive. The structures and tools we have developed over the last two decades in disaster relief, long term community development and maternal and newborn health will be useful as we respond to this pandemic and deal with its long term social and economic repercussions. 2 The Challenge The Ugandan government and Ugandan people have done an admirable job of holding back a significant outbreak of COVID-19 so far. Many years of experience in dealing with infectious disease, including Ebola outbreaks, along with a swift response to the crisis has meant that Uganda has so far avoided the devastation being witnessed in many other countries across the globe.

A table is provided at the end of the bulletin with information on all new and ongoing public health events currently being monitored in the region, as well as events that have recently been closed.

Major challenges include: The complex and protracted humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia does not yet show signs of improvement, and current levels of health and other assistance are inadequate to meet the needs of affected populations. National and international humanitarian actors should urgently scale up response efforts in order to avert a worsening of the crisis in 2018. The Lassa fever outbreak in Nigeria is of significant concern given its national scale and risk of regional spread.
