Setting: A University Hospital.

Subjects: A 6-year-old boy with bilateral IP-II who has a history of failed newborn hearing screening on one side.

Methods: Pure tone hearing thresholds, Auditory Brainstem Response and Magnetic Resonance Imaging results investigated. A progressive hearing loss and IP-II were noted. The developmental characteristics, diagnosis process including radiological evaluation, hearing intervention and follow-up were presented. This case report revealed the importance of follow-up of referred children in newborn hearing screening, the importance of radiological imaging in the diagnosis and intervention process of hearing loss, the approach to progressive hearing loss and the necessity of auditory intervention due to the hearing needs.

Hearing is crucial for the development of language skills. Many infants and young children with undiagnosed hearing impairments, particularly those with mild to moderate severity and no apparent risk factors, miss out on much of the critical early phase of language and speech development. This cross-sectional, hospital-based observational study was conducted at GSVM Medical College and LLRH Hospital on children aged 6 months to 5 years over a 12-month period.

Congenital cytomegalovirus in eastern Uganda: prevalence and outcomes.

BMC Pediatr

March 2025

Centre for International Health, Department of Global Public Health and Primary Care, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection poses risks to both maternal and neonatal health, however there are limited comprehensive data on congenital CMV in low-resource settings where the virus is widespread, particularly among women of reproductive age. Our research in eastern Uganda aimed to assess the prevalence of congenital CMV and outcomes among infants to inform public health policies and interventions in similar settings, addressing a significant gap in current knowledge.

Methods: We conducted a descriptive study, nested within the BabyGel Trial, across Mbale and Budaka districts in eastern Uganda, between May 2023 and January 2024.

Study Aim: Undiagnosed and therefore untreated permanent paediatric hearing loss can have a detrimental impact on a child's speech, language, social and educational development, and quality of life. Therefore, early diagnosis is required for successful treatment with hearing aids to minimise the negative impact of hearing loss. Newborn hearing screening programmes may have decreased the average age at diagnosis of hearing loss worldwide, but outcomes vary widely between countries.
