Trop Med Int Health . 2023 Dec; 29(3):206-213. PMID: 38093593
Background: Healthcare resources are often limited in areas of sub-Saharan Africa. This makes accurate and timely diagnoses challenging and delays treatment of childhood febrile illness. We explored longitudinal characteristics related...

Park S, Pham D, Pak G, Panzner U, Cruz Espinoza L, von Kalckreuth V, et al.
BMJ Glob Health . 2021 Aug; 6(8). PMID: 34341020
Background: Invasive non-typhoidal (iNTS) is one of the leading causes of bacteraemia in sub-Saharan Africa. We aimed to provide a better understanding of the genetic characteristics and transmission patterns associated...

Akenten C, Boahen K, Marfo K, Sarpong N, Dekker D, Struck N, et al.
J Med Case Rep . 2021 Feb; 15(1):46. PMID: 33541431
Background: The increasing incidence of multi-antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, coupled with the risk of co-infections in malaria-endemic regions, complicates accurate diagnosis and prolongs hospitalization, thereby increasing the total cost of illness....

Krumkamp R, Struck N, Lorenz E, Zimmermann M, Boahen K, Sarpong N, et al.
Sci Rep . 2020 Dec; 10(1):21168. PMID: 33273605
A better understanding of disease-specific biomarker profiles during acute infections could guide the development of innovative diagnostic methods to differentiate between malaria and alternative causes of fever. We investigated autoantibody...

Sci Rep . 2020 Sep; 10(1):15695. PMID: 32973247
Parvovirus B19 (B19V) occurs globally and can cause severe anaemia. The role of co-infections with Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) has been controversially discussed. The study aimed to determine prevalence and...

J Infect Dis . 2019 Nov; 221(7):1098-1106. PMID: 31701142
Background: Malaria presents with unspecific clinical symptoms that frequently overlap with other infectious diseases and is also a risk factor for coinfections, such as non-Typhi Salmonella. Malaria rapid diagnostic tests...
