A Prospective Study of Etiological Agents Among Febrile Patients in Sierra Leone.
Infect Dis Ther
September 2021
Introduction: Sierra Leone has one of the highest burdens of febrile illnesses in the world. As the incidence of malaria diminishes, a better understanding of the spectrum of etiological agents was important for accurate diagnosis and empirical treatment of febrile illness.
Methods: Blood, nasopharyngeal, and fecal specimens were collected from febrile patients for serological, molecular detection, and microbiologic culture to identify potential pathogens.
Article Synopsis
- - African populations, especially from West Africa, are underexplored despite their high genetic diversity, prompting this study of 516 samples from Freetown, Sierra Leone.
- - The research analyzed 30 InDel markers, finding no significant linkage disequilibrium and providing various statistical measures (RMP, CPE duos, CPE trios) relevant for forensic applications, but also noted concerns regarding null and off-ladder alleles.
- - The Freetown population was found to have a closer genetic relationship to other West Africans and Bantu-speaking groups compared to other African populations, indicating specific genetic connections in this region.

A total of 550 individuals (265 males and 285 females) from Sierra Leone, a west-African coastal country, were genotyped using the Microreader™ 19X ID System kit. No significant deviations from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed. A total of 250 alleles were identified with corresponding allele frequencies spanning from 0.
