PILOTING TESTING OF POINT OF CARE DIAGNOSTICS TO IMPROVE DIAGNOSIS OF MICROBIAL KERATITIS IN UGANDA.
REFNo: HS2719ES
1. Our overall aim is to improve the diagnosis of the type of MK (bacterial or fungal) at secondary-level facilities in Uganda. We will do this by comparing several novel alternative point of care diagnostic tests in a phased tertiary level and secondary level approach.
2. Assess the diagnostic performance (relative diagnostic yield, time to diagnosis, uptake, and ease of use) of the alternative point-of-care tests in three secondary units in Uganda.,1. Measure the performance (sensitivity and specificity) of these tests carried out by general ophthalmic clinic personnel, compared to a composite reference standard and the ocular microbiologist at the tertiary unit in Uganda.
3. Determine the sensitivity and specificity of several novel alternative diagnostic tests compared to a composite reference standard. Novel tests to be compared include calcofluor White + KOH, smartphone-based fluorescence microscopy, and the isothermal amplification test. The tests will be conducted by an ocular microbiologist at the tertiary unit in Uganda.

Adapting and Piloting a Survivor-Led Case Management Tool ("Freedom Greenlight")
REFNo: SS1827ES
2. The research aims to pilot the Freedom Greenlight tool in Uganda. There are two phases to the research project. Phase 1 - Tool Adaptation (Nearly Completed) During Phase 1, we aimed to validate the usage of the Freedom Greenlight tool in Uganda. Key Willow personnel and survivors participated in a workshop with these guiding questions: 1. Which word choices, images, and indicators from the global Freedom Greenlight are culturally recognizable and contextually relevant? Which need to be adapted for relevance to the Uganda context, and in what way? 2. Which locally relevant indicators should be added to the tool when it is used by Willow’s Uganda-based aftercare program? All adaptations are reviewed by research personnel, experts in the Greenlight methodology, and a clinical psychologist. The adaptations will be incorporated into the tool before Phase 2 begins. Phase 2 - Pilot Freedom Greenlight (Duration: Enroll participants for six months beginning in November/December 2022; collect endline data through November 2023) We will pilot the tool, using random assignment of participants in order to evaluate the effectiveness of using the Freedom Greenlight case management tool compared to current standards of care. We are interested in learning how the Freedom Greenlight process impacts well-being, economic outcomes, and reintegration outcomes. Interviews will be conducted to further understand case managers’ and participants’ experiences with the Freedom Greenlight,1.

The trend of rubella virus infection among antenatal mothers and burden of other teratogenic pathogens in children presenting with congenital defects in Uganda.
REFNo: HS2895ES
1.The aim of the study is to determine the trend of active rubella infections among teenage antenatal mothers and assess the impact of the vaccine roll out. It will also investigate the trend of active rubella infections in mothers who tested positive for HIV infection and those who tested negative.
2.We would like to explore leveraging the Rubella Surveillance cohort of children with congenital defects and determine the incidence of CMV IgM / cytomegavirus disease burden in children. Through this collaboration, the study also targets other etiological pathogens that are linked to congenital defects namely varicella zoster virus (VZV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), lympho-choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), parvovirus 19 (B19V), zika virus (ZIKV) and toxoplasmosis gondii (TOXO).
3.Another objective is to sequence and genotype rubella and CMV in samples from children who test positive for the retrospective pathogens in the CRS cohort.
