Evaluation of treatment response in extrapulmonary tuberculosis in a low-resource setting
Jørstad, Melissa Davidsen; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Aßmus, Jörg; Marijani, Msafiri; Sviland, Lisbeth; Mustafa, Tehmina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-16)Background Diagnosing extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is challenging and many patients are initiated on empirical anti-TB treatment without a laboratory confirmed diagnosis. Monitoring treatment response is thus important ... -
IP-10 dried blood spots assay monitoring treatment efficacy in extrapulmonary tuberculosis in a low-resource setting
Hoel, Ida Marie; Jørstad, Melissa Davidsen; Marijani, Msafiri; Ruhwald, Morten; Mustafa, Tehmina; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-07)Treatment efficacy is difficult to evaluate in extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) patients. Interferon-γ inducible protein (IP-)10 has been suggested as a biomarker for response to treatment. We have investigated if IP-10 ... -
Malaria prevalence and performance of diagnostic tests among patients hospitalized with acute undifferentiated fever in Zanzibar
Onken, Annette; Haanshuus, Christel Gill; Miraji, Mohammed Khamis; Marijani, Msafiri; Kibwana, Kibwana Omar; Abeid, Khamis Ali; Mørch, Kristine; Reimers, Marianne; Langeland, Nina; Müller, Fredrik; Jenum, Pål; Blomberg, Bjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-19)Background: Control efforts in Zanzibar reduced the burden of malaria substantially from 2000 to 2015, but re-emergence of falciparum malaria has been observed lately. This study evaluated the prevalence of malaria and ... -
MPT64 antigen detection test improves routine diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in a low-resource setting: A study from the tertiary care hospital in Zanzibar
Jørstad, Melissa Davidsen; Marijani, Msafiri; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Sviland, Lisbeth; Mustafa, Tehmina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05-09)Background: Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is a diagnostic challenge. An immunochemistry-based MPT64 antigen detection test (MPT64 test) has reported higher sensitivity in the diagnosis of EPTB compared with conventional ... -
Predominance of multidrug-resistant Salmonella Typhi genotype 4.3.1 with low-level ciprofloxacin resistance in Zanzibar
Onken, Annette; Moyo, Sabrina John; Miraji, Mohammed Khamis; Bohlin, Jon; Marijani, Msafiri; Manyahi, Joel; Kibwana, Kibwana Omar; Müller, Fredrik; Jenum, Pål; Abeid, Khamis Ali; Reimers, Marianne; Langeland, Nina; Mørch, Kristine; Blomberg, Bjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-17)Background: Typhoid fever is a common cause of febrile illness in low- and middle-income countries. While multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella Typhi (S. Typhi) has spread globally, fluoroquinolone resistance has mainly ... -
