Article Synopsis
- The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Africa has varied significantly across countries, and its overall impact remains unclear.
- An analysis of 8,746 genomes from 33 African countries indicated that most outbreaks originated from Europe before international travel restrictions took effect.
- As the pandemic continued, increased movement and local transmission led to the emergence of several variants within Africa, emphasizing the need for a strong pandemic response on the continent to prevent becoming a source of new variants.
Cape Town was the first city in South Africa to experience the full impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We acquired samples from all suspected cases and their contacts during the first month of the pandemic from Tygerberg Hospital. Nanopore sequencing generated SARS-CoV-2 whole genomes.

Methods: Sixty-six consecutive patients (mean age 68 years) were studied urodynamically within 1 week before surgery, and 44 of them at a mean 7.6 months after radical intervention.
Background: The purpose of this study was to report experience with the revived surgical concept of ureterosigmoidostomy in its low pressure modification and to discuss its value within the current spectrum of urinary diversion.
Methods: Between February 1992 and September 1997 modified ureterosigmoidostomy (rectosigmoid pouch; Mainz pouch II) was performed in 34 patients aged 1.9-76.
