Here we are! The @CURE_TREP Unit aims to identify clinical solutions for #treponemal_diseases that affect vulnerable populations and to contribute to the fight against #SARSCoV2. Check out our website👉https://t.co/THTvMkMMqz

Our latest paper is out in @TheLancet and reveals the severe implications of #mpox in people with advanced #HIV infection. See the details in this thread by our colleague @AndreaAlemany3

[Andrea Alemany @AndreaAlemany3]

The results of our global case series on mpox in people with advanced HIV infection have been published in @TheLancet https://t.co/zkROAOAd7M

[Global Health & Infectious Disease research unit @CureTrep]

The paper consolidates the existing evidence to support the interruption in the use of #hydroxychloroquine in mild #COVID_19 outpatients to reduce progression to severe disease. More information here👉 https://t.co/67DccBALWp

[Global Health & Infectious Disease research unit @CureTrep]

Check out our latest publication. We have conducted a pooled analysis to assess the effect of #hydroxychloroquine for treatment of non-hospitalized adults with #Covid_19, in collaboration with research groups that carried out cutting-edge research during the pandemic

Hot off the press of @CIDJournal: we have evaluated the accuracy of patient-collected swabs. Self-sampling is a reliable strategy for diagnosing #monkeypox. https://t.co/q4dJ4x8Awz

Our most heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Lucy John!

In Barcelona with @CureTrep for PhD defence by Dr Lucy John. Presenting on improving MDA for #Yaws & Integrating MDA for multiple NTDs 🧵

[Global Health & Infectious Disease research unit @CureTrep]

Congratulations, @dr_michaelmarks!

[Michael Marks @dr_michaelmarks]

Honoured to be awarded the Frederick Murgatroyd prize by @RCPLondon for my work on tropical medicine. This is result of collaborations with colleagues in Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Liberia, Cameroon & Ethiopia to whom I am eternally grateful

Hoy se publica este artículo sobre la viruela del mono en @TheLancet.

Vemos que el 40% de los pacientes necesitan tratamiento para el #dolor,
y que las lesiones de piel son mucho más #infecciosas que las gotas respiratorias.

Delighted our study #Monkeypox Spain @TheLancet https://t.co/jAiJdXiYUh Most cases MSM but some cases MSW & WSM suggesting bridging between networks 🧵

[Global Health & Infectious Disease research unit @CureTrep]

The atypical manfestations tell us that clinicians should have a low threshold for suspicion of #monkeypox. Read the study here: https://t.co/sIbD4VS70k

[Global Health & Infectious Disease research unit @CureTrep]

Our latest paper is hot off the press of @TheLancet! We have published an exhaustive study of 181 patients with #monkeypox in Spain. Our findings add to what we already know about the disease👇

#Viral_load is higher in lesion swabs than in pharyngeal specimens, corroborating #close_contact as the probable dominant transmission route for this #outbreak

Health is not a luxury for the rich, but a human right for all.

'In the past five years, 14 additional countries and territories eliminated at least one #NTD'
'Cases of #HumanAfricanTrypanosomiasis declined by 90% in 10 years'
'And only 15 cases of #GuineaWormDisease were reported last year ..' #WHA75 Opening address #beatNTDs

[WHO African Region @WHOAFRO]

Access to free #azithromycin is critical to eradicating #yaws. Since 2020, 1.6 million tablets of oral antibiotic, donated by @EMSFarmaceutica, has been delivered to #Cameroon🇨🇲, treating more than half a million people, despite #COVID19.

Our results cannot rule out the potential efficacy of CP:
1. Administered earlier
2. With Higher neutralising antibody titers (vaccinated individuals)
3. Higher plasma volumes
4. Higher affinity of antibodies (same variant)
5. Not methylene blue-treated

[Global Health & Infectious Disease research unit @CureTrep]

Our latest paper has just been published at @LancetRespirMed. We establish that #convalescent_plasma does not prevent progression from mild to severe #COVID19. The quest for affordable treatments against SARS-CoV-2 continues! Read more here: https://t.co/gM4pvrhXqA

Hoy es el día mundial contra la lepra. Se trata de una enfermedad tropical desatendida que supone un gran estigma sobre las personas que la padecen. Desde Dermalawi situamos entre nuestro objetivos principales el diagnóstico precoz y tratamiento de esta patología. #BeatNTDs

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

It's World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day!

Reducing deforestation, unplanned housing, overcrowding can prevent:
🔺Chagas disease
🔺Dengue
🔺Chikungunya
🔺Leishmaniasis
🔺Scabies

Let's #BeatNTDs!

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Chagas disease
Dengue
Elephantiasis
Leishmaniasis
River blindness
are spread by 🐛, 🦟, 🪰.

Spraying insecticides, eliminating standing water, using bed nets, access to treatment can prevent these.
