Figure Lengend Snippet: Etiology of HIV-associated meningitis in Ugandan adults, 2015–2017. demonstrates the proportional frequencies (%) of fungal, mycobacterial, bacterial, and fungal meningitis in 842 Ugandan adults with HIV presenting with suspected meningitis. Abbreviations: ICP, Intra cranial pressure; IRIS, immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome; TBM, tuberculous meningitis.

Article Snippet: Participants had a structured, stepwise diagnostic algorithm performed of blood cryptococcal antigen (CrAg), CSF CrAg, Xpert MTB/RIF for tuberculous (TB) meningitis (TBM), Biofire multiplex polymerase chain reaction, and traditional microscopy and cultures.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Paediatric attendance, respiratory virus testing and positivity rates over time. A) Rate of paediatric ED attendances, B) Rate of tests per 1000 attendances per month, C) Rate of positives per 1000 attendances per month. Left hand panels show 0-3 years, central panels 4-11 years and right hand panels 12-15 years. Red dashed line indicates the start of the pandemic period, defined here as March 2020. SARS-CoV-2 = SARS-CoV-2 specific PCR, Biofire PCR = BioFire multiplex respiratory PCR.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Respiratory virus detection in children age 0-15 pre- and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Stacked bars represent proportions of pathogens during each period. Frequency of individual pathogens are shown in white text, with totals for each period in the x-axis legend. Respiratory viruses were detected using i) Influenza A/B/RSV PCR, ii) Biofire respiratory multiplex PCR, iii) SARS-CoV-2 PCR or iv) Cepheid Flu A/B/RSV/SARS-CoV-2 (see supplementary table 1).
