The Global Cohort of Doctoral Students: Building Shared Global Health Research Capacity in High-Income and Low- and Middle-Income Countries
No full textDoctoral students in high- and low-income countries pursuing careers in global health face gaps in their training that could be readily filled through structured peer-learning activities with students based at partnering institutions in complimentary settings. We share lessons learned from the Global Cohort of Doctoral Students, a community of doctoral students based at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, Haramaya University. University of Gondar, University of Botswana, and University of Rwanda College of Medicine and Health Sciences. Students in the Global Cohort program engage in collaborative research, forums for constructive feedback, and professional development activities. We describe the motivation for the program, core activities, and early successes.This work was funded by the Rose Traveling Fellowship and Deborah Rose Service Learning Fellowship at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. The funding sources had no role in the writing of the manuscript or decision to submit it for publication.Iyer, HS (corresponding author), Harvard TH Chan Sch Publ Hlth, Dept Epidemiol, Boston, MA 02115 USA.

Antimicrobial sensitivity pattern of Campylobacter species among children in Jimma University Specialized Hospital, Southwest Ethiopia
No full textAbstractBackground: Compylobacter species are the major causes of diarrhoeal illness in children in Ethiopia. Thus, updatedlocal information is very crucial in order to take effective control measures on this pathogen.Objectives: To determine the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of Campylobacter species in childrenyounger than 15 years of age.Method: A cross sectional study was conducted whereby stool specimens were collected from 430 children who haddiarrhoea and were investigated for presence of common enteric bacterial pathogens and intestinal parasites. Stoolspecimens were inoculated on Salmonella-Shigella agar and Campylo agar plates, and then isolation, biochemicalcharacterization, and antibiotic sensitivity testing were done in accordance with the standard methodology. Parasiteswere detected by direct stool microscopy.Result: Campylobacter species were isolated from 11.6% of the total patients. The isolation rates of Salmonella andShigella species were 5.8% and 4.9% respectively. Sixty five percent (283/430) of the children were found to beinfected by one or more parasites. Close contact with cats or dogs, duration and consistency of diarrhoea wereassociated with the isolation of Campylobacter species. The antimicrobial sensitivity study findings showed that alltested isolates were sensitive to chloramphenicol, gentamicin and kanamycin. A majority of the strains ofCampylobacter species were sensitive to tetracycline and erythromycin. The majority and half of the isolates wereresistant for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and ampicillin, respectively.Conclusion: The findings of this research indicate that Campylobacter species is an important etiological agent ofchildhood diarrhoea and therefore, it should be properly diagnosed in routine investigation and physicians shouldprescribe the appropriate drugs either after sensitivity testing or, in areas where there are no facilities for culturing,they have to refer updated information on local sensitivity pattern.

No full textDisseminated Strongyloidiasis among HIV/AIDS Patients in Jimma
No full textBackground and objectives:Strongyloidiasis has become a very important disease in HIV/AIDS patients. Reports pertaining to this aspect are very scarce in Ethiopia. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Strongyloides stercoralis in stool and sputum samples of HIV/AIDS patients.
Patients and methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted to determine the magnitude of intra and extra intestinal strongyloidiasis among HIV/AIDS patients in Jimma from January to February, 2001. Ninety HIV/AIDS cases were identified and larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis were looked for in the stool and sputum using Bearmann's and formol ether concentration methods respectively. Direct saline stool examination was also performed for the detection of other intestinal parasites.
Results:Eight (9%) of the cases were stool positive for larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis. Three out of ninety (3.3%) cases were also found to have systemic strongyloidiasis by sputum examination.
Conclusion: This study has demonstrated a higher isolation rate of strongyloidiasis in the study population. Therefore, clinicians who take care of immunocompromized HIV/AIDS patients should be alert for an early diagnosis and treatment in the prevention of fatal dissemination. A well-designed and comprehensive case control study is recommended.
Key words: HIV/AIDS, strongyloidiasis, Jimma
