Maternal group B streptococcal (GBS) vaccines under development hold promise to prevent GBS disease in young infants. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest estimated disease burden, although data on incidence and circulating strains are limited. We described invasive bacterial disease (IBD) trends among inf...

Em Moçambique, as doenças crónicas constituem importante causa de morbilidade, de mortalidade precoce e de incapacidade física, particularmente em pessoas
em idade produtiva. Este facto contribui significativamente para a redução da produtividade e por conseguinte com impacto no desenvolvimento do ...

Astroviruses (AstVs) are responsible for infection of a large diversity of mammalian and avian species, including bats,
aquatic birds, livestock and humans. We investigated AstVs circulation in bats in Mozambique and Mayotte, a small
island in the Comoros Archipelago located between east Africa and Madag...
The use of population-based survey data together with sound statistical methods can enhance better estimation of HIV risk factors and explain variations across subgroups of the population. The distribution and determinants of HIV infection in populations must be taken into consideration. We analysed data...
Em resposta ao plano de aceleração de TARV, registamos uma expansão do acesso aos cuidados e tratamento para HIV nos últimos anos. O Serviço Nacional de Saúde (SNS) com as suas limitações em recursos humanos e de infraestruturas, apresenta grandes desafios para oferecer serviços com a qualidade ...

Background: At times, ultrasound is not readily available in low resource countries in Africa for accurate determination of gestational age, so using alternative methods is pivotal during pregnancy. These assessments are used to aid the risk analysis for an infant and management strategies for premature ...

Background HIV/ HBV coinfected patients are at high risk of developing chronic HBV infection, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. In Mozambique, where HIV prevalence is one of the highest in the world, HIV-infected patients are scarcely characterized in terms of HBV coinfection and 3TC-resistan...

Background. Programs for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been scaled up in many low- and middle-income countries. However, HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) data among HIV-1– infected young children remain limited.
Methods. Surveys of pretreat...
Introduction: The scale-up of effective HIV viral load (VL) testing is an urgent public health priority. Implementation of testing is supported by the availability of accurate, nucleic acid based laboratory and point-of-care (POC) VL technologies and strong WHO guidance recommending routine testing to id...
