Outcomes of HIV co-infected presumptive tuberculosis (TB) patients started on TB treatment without bacteriological confirmation of TB
REFNo: HS72ES
GENERAL OBJECTIVES
• To determine the outcomes of HIV-infected presumptive TB patients in whom TB treatment is started based on empirical decision-making without bacteriological evidence of TB and to establish non-TB etiology among HIV-infected presumptive TB adults without bacteriological evidence of TB
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
i. To characterize clinical decision-making among HIV co-infected presumptive TB patients without bacteriological confirmation of TB
ii. To determine clinical and mortality outcomes of HIV-infected presumptive TB patients who are started on TB treatment based on empirical decision-making without bacteriological confirmation of TB
iii. To assess impact of a negative Xpert MTB/Rif test on clinical decision to empirically treat TB among HIV-infected presumptive TB patients
iv. To determine non-TB etiology among HIV-infected adult presumptive TB patients without bacteriological evidence of TB

Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital Meningitis Registry
REFNo: HS61ES
Our primary goal is to collect clinical, laboratory, demographic, geographic and economic data in real-time on Ugandan meningitis patients and to compile this information into a meningitis registry. Our central hypothesis is that data extracted from this registry can be used to guide meningitis treatment and prevention, improve resource allocation, facilitate treatment distribution networks, improve global data on meningitis and inform health care policy in Uganda and other similar countries in the meningitis belt.
Aim 1: To use the FilmArray ME assay and GenExpert Ultra assays, in conjunction with existing CSF testing, to diagnose etiologies of meningitis in children and adults at MRRH.
-We hypothesize that the use of FilmArray ME and GeneXpert MTB/RIF Ultra assays at MRRH will allow better characterization of meningitis epidemiology in Uganda and streamline care decisions through the creation of a diagnostic algorithm for meningitis patients.
Aim 2: To gather population-based epidemiologic data on meningitis in Mbarara, Uganda, in a centralized meningitis registry.
-We hypothesize that creation of a meningitis registry will guide meningitis treatment and prevention, improve resource allocation, facilitate treatment distribution networks, improve global data on meningitis and inform health care policy in Uganda.
Aim 3: To gather population based data on the economic impact of meningitis and its complications through cost questionnaires to better characterize the financial burden of meningitis to patients in resource-limited settings.
-We hypothesize that the cost burden to patients with meningitis is significant and that a cost-effective analysis will lead to informed recommendations to guide health policy in Uganda.
