Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A protocol for early resuscitation with administration of intravenous fluids and vasopressors increased in-hospital mortality compared with usual care among adults with sepsis and hypotension in Zambian adults presenting to the emergency department at a 1500-bed referral hospital.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simplified severe sepsis protocol: a randomized controlled trial of modified early goal-directed therapy in Zambia.
TL;DR: Study of fluid-based interventions should utilize inclusion criteria to accurately capture patients with hypovolemia and tissue hypoperfusion who are most likely to benefit from fluids, and exclusion of patients with severe respiratory distress should be considered when ventilatory support is not readily available.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is hypothesised that M tuberculosis BSI prevalence has been underestimated, that it independently predicts death, and that sputum Xpert MTB/RIF has suboptimal diagnostic yield for Mculosis BSI.
Journal ArticleDOI
High prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteraemia among a cohort of HIV-infected patients with severe sepsis in Lusaka, Zambia.
TL;DR: Factors that were independently associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteraemia in the study population were MUAC and sodium level.
