Background: Although the global malaria burden is decreasing, there are still concerns about overdiagnosis of malaria and the danger of misdiagnosis of non-malaria causes of fever. Clinicians continue to face the challenge of differentiating between these causes despite the introduction of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDTs).
Aim: To determine the prevalence and causes of non-malaria-caused fever in children in South-Western Nigeria.
Context: Although biological sex influences Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infections (ALRIs) morbidity and mortality patterns in children living in sub-Saharan Africa, the exact mechanism about the effect is unknown.
Objective: We assessed the quality and strength of evidence on the association of sex with incidence, etiology, and outcomes of ALRI in African children.
Data Sources Study Selection And Data Extraction: We systematically searched electronic databases for publications from 1971-2016 in PubMed, African Journals Online, and Google scholar for ALRI literature in the African children.
Background: Kidney disease is an important extra-hepatic manifestation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, there is paucity of recent literature on kidney disease in children and adolescents with HBV infection from several parts of sub-Saharan Africa including Nigeria.
Objective: To review the pattern of kidney disease in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive children and adolescents seen at a tertiary hospital in south-west Nigeria.
Objective: This study aimed at evaluating the in vitro efficacy and health implications of inconsistencies in different production batches of antimycotic drugs.
Materials And Methods: in vitro susceptibility profiles of 36 Candida spp. - C.
