A recent study conducted by the University of Washington examined the practice patterns and outcomes of pediatric infectious encephalopathy (IE) in four low and middle income countries (LMIC) in sub-Saharan Africa. The study found that IE, including meningitis, infectious encephalitis, and cerebral abscess, remains prevalent and carries high mortality and morbidity in children in these countries. The research highlighted variations in diagnosis, treatment, and management across the care continuum, likely due to resource limitations and diagnostic constraints. The study concluded that further research is needed to inform future treatment protocols and improve emergency and critical care in LMICs. [Extracted from the article] |
