Our latest paper is out in @TheLancet and reveals the severe implications of #mpox in people with advanced #HIV infection. See the details in this thread by our colleague @AndreaAlemany3

Check out our latest publication. We have conducted a pooled analysis to assess the effect of #hydroxychloroquine for treatment of non-hospitalized adults with #Covid_19, in collaboration with research groups that carried out cutting-edge research during the pandemic

The paper consolidates the existing evidence to support the interruption in the use of #hydroxychloroquine in mild #COVID_19 outpatients to reduce progression to severe disease. More information here👉 buff.ly/3IuGUit

Hot off the press of @CIDJournal: we have evaluated the accuracy of patient-collected swabs. Self-sampling is a reliable strategy for diagnosing #monkeypox. buff.ly/3E8YyEq

Honoured to be awarded the Frederick Murgatroyd prize by @RCPLondon for my work on tropical medicine. This is result of collaborations with colleagues in Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Liberia, Cameroon & Ethiopia to whom I am eternally grateful

Hoy se publica este artículo sobre la viruela del mono en @TheLancet.
Vemos que el 40% de los pacientes necesitan tratamiento para el #dolor,
y que las lesiones de piel son mucho más #infecciosas que las gotas respiratorias.

Our latest paper is hot off the press of @TheLancet! We have published an exhaustive study of 181 patients with #monkeypox in Spain. Our findings add to what we already know about the disease👇

#Viral_load is higher in lesion swabs than in pharyngeal specimens, corroborating #close_contact as the probable dominant transmission route for this #outbreak

The atypical manfestations tell us that clinicians should have a low threshold for suspicion of #monkeypox. Read the study here: buff.ly/3zI8djp

Access to free #azithromycin is critical to eradicating #yaws. Since 2020, 1.6 million tablets of oral antibiotic, donated by @EMSFarmaceutica, has been delivered to #Cameroon🇨🇲, treating more than half a million people, despite #COVID19.

Our results cannot rule out the potential efficacy of CP:
1. Administered earlier
2. With Higher neutralising antibody titers (vaccinated individuals)
3. Higher plasma volumes
4. Higher affinity of antibodies (same variant)
5. Not methylene blue-treated

Our latest paper has just been published at @LancetRespirMed. We establish that #convalescent_plasma does not prevent progression from mild to severe #COVID19. The quest for affordable treatments against SARS-CoV-2 continues! Read more here: buff.ly/3uBHFz9

Hoy es el día mundial contra la lepra. Se trata de una enfermedad tropical desatendida que supone un gran estigma sobre las personas que la padecen. Desde Dermalawi situamos entre nuestro objetivos principales el diagnóstico precoz y tratamiento de esta patología. #BeatNTDs

Chagas disease
Dengue
Elephantiasis
Leishmaniasis
River blindness
are spread by 🐛, 🦟, 🪰.
Spraying insecticides, eliminating standing water, using bed nets, access to treatment can prevent these.
