TL;DR: A quantitative molecular diagnostic approach improved population-level and case-level characterisation of the causes of diarrhoea and indicated a high burden of disease associated with six pathogens, for which targeted treatment should be prioritised.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jie Liu,Caroline Ochieng,Steve Wiersma,Ute Ströher,Jonathan S. Towner,Shannon L.M. Whitmer,Stuart T. Nichol,Christopher C. Moore,Gilbert J. Kersh,Cecilia Kato,Christopher Sexton,Jeannine M. Petersen,Robert F. Massung,Christine Hercik,John A. Crump,John A. Crump,Gibson S. Kibiki,Athanasia Maro,Buliga Mujaga,Jean Gratz,Shevin T. Jacob,Patrick Banura,W. Michael Scheld,Bonventure Juma,Clayton Onyango,Joel M. Montgomery,Eric R. Houpt,Barry S. Fields +27 more
TL;DR: A real-time PCR-based TaqMan array card that can test six to eight samples within 2.5 h from sample to results and can simultaneously detect 26 AFI-associated organisms, including Ebola virus, is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seroprevalence of Infections with Dengue, Rift Valley Fever and Chikungunya Viruses in Kenya, 2007.
Caroline Ochieng,Petronella Ahenda,Amy Y. Vittor,Raymond Nyoka,Stella Gikunju,Cyrus Wachira,Lilian W. Waiboci,Mamo Umuro,Andrea A. Kim,Leonard Nderitu,Bonventure Juma,Joel M. Montgomery,Robert F. Breiman,Barry S. Fields +13 more
TL;DR: Data show that a number of people are at risk of arbovirus infections depending on their geographic location in Kenya and transmission of these pathogens is greater than previously appreciated, especially for DENV.
Journal ArticleDOI
A diagnostic and epidemiologic investigation of acute febrile illness (AFI) in Kilombero, Tanzania
Christine Hercik,Leonard Cosmas,Ondari D. Mogeni,Newton Wamola,Wanze Kohi,Victor Omballa,Melvin Ochieng,Shirley Lidechi,Juma Bonventure,Caroline Ochieng,Clayton Onyango,Barry S. Fields,Sayoki Mfinanga,Joel M. Montgomery +13 more
TL;DR: This study is the first to employ two syndromic TaqMan Array Cards for the simultaneous survey of 57 different organisms to better characterize the type and prevalence of detected agents among febrile patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dengue and Chikungunya Virus Infections among Young Febrile Adults Evaluated for Acute HIV-1 Infection in Coastal Kenya.
Carolyne N. Ngoi,Matthew Price,Barry S. Fields,Juma Bonventure,Caroline Ochieng,Grace Mwashigadi,Amin S. Hassan,Alexander N Thiong'o,Murugi Micheni,Peter M. Mugo,Susan M. Graham,Eduard J. Sanders +11 more
TL;DR: The data suggests that DENV, along with AHI and malaria, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the adult patient seeking care for fever in coastal Kenya.
