Background: Measuring CD4 T-cell counts at low cost is relevant in dealing with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic throughout the developing world. The recently introduced novel concepts in gating strategies and sample stabilization facilitate affordable immunophenotyping by flow cytometry. ...

Background: North American and European guidelines for dual-platform (DP) flow cytometry recommendabsolute CD4 T-cell counts to be calculated from two parameters: the absolute lymphocyte counts obtainedon a hematology analyzer and the percentages of CD4 cells among lymphocytes (CD4%/lympho) obtainedby fl...
Background: The observation of an increased prevalence of allergic disorders coinciding with a decreasing frequency of infectious diseases in early childhood has led to the speculation that infections may prevent allergic sensitization. Information on the role of parasites in this context is limited. Bro...
To assess STD management in primary healthcare facilities where STD clinics and syndromic management guidelines had been introduced.
Methods: In 26 health facilities in selected sites, we observed management of all STD patients presenting in the adult general or STD clinic. We assessed the referral syst...

Falciparum malaria affects pregnant women, especially primigravidae, but before malaria control programmes targeted to them can be designed, a description of the frequency and parity pattern of the infection is needed. There is little information on the frequency and effect of submicroscopic malaria infe...

Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) are one of the main methods used for controlling malaria
transmission in Mozambique. The proliferation of several types of LLINs and the re-emergence of insecticide resistance in the local vector populations poses challenges to the local malaria control prog...
