Article Synopsis
- Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are often found in poor populations and, despite South Africa's non-tropical status, the country is affected due to high poverty levels, particularly in the Free State province.
- A study analyzed histopathological specimens from public hospitals in the Free State over six years (2015-2020) to assess the prevalence and demographics of diagnosed NTDs.
- Out of 72 diagnosed NTDs, echinococcosis was the most common (45.8%), with recommendations for its inclusion as a significant NTD by the South African Department of Health.
