Emerging viruses are an underestimated cause of undiagnosed febrile illness in Uganda

2023-04-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Viruses that cause acute febrile illness (AFI) in sub-Saharan Africa cause a spectrum of disease from mild to life-threatening. Viral infection is often undiagnosed, as routine diagnostics are insufficient to capture the diversity of circulating pathogens. <h4>Methods</h4> 1281 patients with fever of 2-7 days were prospectively recruited from three sites in Uganda as part of th...
