Antibacterial Use and Resistance in Under Five Children in Post Conflict Northern Uganda
REFNo: HS362ES
General study objective
•To assess the burden, drivers of inappropriate antibacterial prescriptions and resistance patterns of the pathogens among under five children attending care in selected public health facilities in Lango sub-region, northern Uganda.
Specific objectives
•To determine microbiologically, the burden and drivers of inappropriate prescription of antibacterials for under 5-year outpatient children presenting with acute diarrhoea at public health facilities in Lango sub-region (Sub-study I)
•To determine microbiologically, the burden and drivers of inappropriate prescription of antibacterials for under 5-year outpatient children presenting with UTRIs at public health facilities in Lango sub-region (Sub-study II)
•To determine the proportion of bacterial species and their resistance among under 5 year inpatient children with systemic infections at Lira Regional Referral Hospital (Sub-study III)
•To determine the prescribers’ knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding antibacterial prescription with respect to the available guidelines for under 5-year outpatient children with acute diarrhoea and URTIs at public health facilities in Lango sub-region (Sub-study IV)

DEVELOPMENT OF A DIAGNOSTIC PREDICTION SCORE FOR TUBERCULOSIS IN HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN WITH SEVERE ACUTE MALNUTRITION
REFNo: HS445ES
Primary Objective
To develop a diagnostic prediction score for TB in hospitalized children with SAM
Secondary Objectives
1. To assess the prevalence of TB among hospitalized children with SAM.
2. To describe the symptoms and clinical characteristics of TB disease in hospitalized children with SAM.
3. To develop a first-step screening prediction score to identify children with presumptive TB among hospitalised children with SAM
4. To propose a stepwise diagnostic algorithm based on the score(s) developed
5. To assess the diagnostic performance and the added value in a diagnostic prediction score for TB in hospitalized children with SAM of the following tests:
a. Ultra performed on one NPA and one stool sample
b. Chest radiography features as assessed by the simplified TB-Speed CXR reading tool
c. Abdominal ultrasound
d. QuantiFERON®-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT) IGRA
e. Monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR)
f. CRP
6. To assess the feasibility of collecting NPA and stool in children with SAM
7. To assess the safety and tolerability of NPA collection in children with SAM
8. To assess mortality and weight gain at 6 months in children with SAM, with or without anti-TB treatment
9. To assess the effect of bacteriological features (Xpert and/or culture-confirmed TB) and other key patient characteristics (age, HIV status, initial severity markers, percentage weight gain, and CXR features) on TB treatment outcome.
