Use of acetaminophen and the risk of self-reported allergic symptoms and skin sensitization in Butajira, Ethiopia.

Journal ArticleDOI
Development and testing of a de novo clinical staging system for podoconiosis (endemic non-filarial elephantiasis).

Journal ArticleDOI
Wheeze, allergic sensitization and geohelminth infection in Butajira, Ethiopia.
TL;DR: The effect of geohelminth infection on wheeze and allergen sensitization is inconsistent across different epidemiological studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of acetaminophen and geohelminth infection on the incidence of wheeze and eczema: a longitudinal birth-cohort study
TL;DR: Findings suggest frequent acetaminophen use early in life increases the risk of new-onset wheeze, whereas the role of geohelminth infection on allergic disease incidence remains to be seen as the cohort matures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Status epilepticus: Clinical presentation, cause, outcome, and predictors of death in 119 Ethiopian patients
