TL;DR: The findings lend support to use and funding of a generic fixed-dose combination of nevirapine, stavudine, and lamivudine as first-line antiretroviral treatment in developing countries.

TL;DR: The prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of MRSA in eight large hospitals in Africa and Malta, from 1996 to 1997, were determined and it was found that there is a need to maintain surveillance and control ofMRSA infections in Africa.

TL;DR: The small differences that were noted between the strategies suggest that clinical monitoring alone could be used, at least temporarily, to expand antiretroviral therapy in low-resource settings.

TL;DR: More CARE as discussed by the authors was a multicentre, single-blind, factorial, randomised controlled trial in urban, semi-urban, and rural settings in Cameroon, where mobile phone-based reminders of scheduled HIV appointments for carers of paediatric patients in low-resource settings can increase attendance.

TL;DR: Success in scaling-up access to ART in Cameroon has been facilitated by decentralization of the healthcare system, and immunological improvement was similar in patients followed up at the central and district level, whereas adherence to ART was better both at provincial and district levels.
