Spatio-seasonal modeling of the incidence rate of malaria in Mozambique
Malar. j. (Online); 7 (228), 2008
Background: The objective was to study the seasonal effect on the spatial distribution of the incidence of malaria in children under 10 years old living in the Manhiça district, Mozambique.
Methods: The data of the clinical malaria incidence were obtained from a study of two cohorts of children followed...
Impact of intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine on antibody responses to erythrocytic-stage Plasmodium falciparum antigens in infants in Mozambique
Clin. vaccine immunol; 15 (8), 2008
We evaluated the impact of intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), which was given at ages 3, 4, and 9 months through the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI), on the development of antibody responses to Plasmodium falciparum in Mozambique. Immunoglobuli...

A population study of endomyocardial fibrosis in a rural area of Mozambique
N. Engl. j. med; 359 (1), 2008
Background: Endomyocardial fibrosis is the most common restrictive cardiomyopathy worldwide. It has no specific treatment and carries a poor prognosis, since most patients present with advanced heart failure. On the basis of clinical series, regional variations in distribution have been reported within s...
Rapid increase of Plasmodium falciparum dhfr/dhps resistant haplotypes, after the adoption of sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine as first line treatment in 2002, in southern Mozambique
Malar. j. (Online); 7 (115), 2008
In late 2002, the health authorities of Mozambique implemented sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP)/amodiaquine (AQ) as first-line treatment against uncomplicated falciparum malaria. In 2004, this has been altered to SP/artesunate in line with WHO recommendations of using Artemisinin Combination Therapies (AC...

Molecular Markers of Resistance to Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine during Intermittent Preventive Treatment for Malaria in Mozambican Infants
J. infect. dis; 197 (12), 2008
Background. Intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is a po tential malaria control strategy. There is concern about the impact that increasing in vivo resistance to SP has on the efficacy of IPTi, as well as about the potential contribution of IPTi to incr...
Invasive Haemophilus influenzae disease in children less than 5 years of age in Manhiça, a rural area of southern Mozambique
Trop. med. int. health; 13 (6), 2008
Objective: To measure the disease burden and epidemiological characteristics of invasive Haemophilus influenzae in rural Mozambican children. Methods: As part of the clinical management of children admitted to Manhiça District Hospital, blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected between May 20...
Risk factors for incomplete vaccination and missed opportunity for immunization in rural Mozambique
BMC public health (Online); 8 (161), 2008
Background
Inadequate levels of immunization against childhood diseases remain a significant public health problem in resource-poor areas of the globe. Nonetheless, the reasons for incomplete vaccination and non-uptake of immunization services are poorly understood. This study aimed at finding out the re...
