The conditionality of this recommendation is largely driven by the current higher unit cost of pyrethroid-PBO ITNs compared
to pyrethroid-only LLINs and therefore the uncertainty of their cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, as PBO is less wash-resistant
than pyrethroids, its bioavailability declines ...faster over the three-year estimated life of an ITN; therefore, the added impact of
pyrethroid-PBO ITNs over that of pyrethroid-only LLINs may decline over time. The evidence comes from two sites in
eastern Africa with pyrethroid resistance and not from other geographies where transmission levels and vector characteristics
may vary. PBO acts by inhibiting certain metabolic enzymes, primarily oxidases, and so are likely to provide greater protection
than pyrethroid-only LLINs where mosquitoes display mono-oxygenase-based insecticide resistance mechanisms.

O protocolo a seguir foi desenvolvido para investigar o alcance da infecção, conforme determinado pela soropositividade da população geral, em qualquer país com casos confirmados de infecção pelo COVID-19. Os países talvez tenham que adaptar alguns aspectos deste protocolo para os respectivo...s sistemas de saúde pública, bem como sistemas laboratoriais e clínicos, de acordo com a capacidade, disponibilidade de recursos e adequação cultural. No entanto, usando-se um protocolo padronizado, tal como o descrito abaixo, dados de exposição epidemiológica e amostras biológicas podem sercoletados de forma sistemática, e rapidamente compartilhados em um formato que facilite sua agregação, tabulação e análise em diferentes cenários globais, para estimar prontamente a gravidade as taxas de ataque da infecção pelo vírus COVID-19, bem como embasar respostas de saúde públicae decisões relativas a políticas públicas. Isso é particularmente importante no contexto de um novo patógeno respiratório, como o COVID-19.

This study aimed to understand the patterns of HIV drug resistance in pregnant women in Mozambique. This might help in tailoring optimal regimens for prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV (pMTCT) and antenatal care.
Orientations provisoires
20 mars 2020
Ce document résume les orientations actuelles de l'OMS pour la surveillance mondiale de la COVID-19 chez l'homme, due à une infection par le nouveau coronavirus 2019. Ces orientations sont à lire en se référant aux orientations de l'OMS sur les activit...és de préparation opérationnelle et de riposte, dans lesquelles l'identification et le dépistage actifs des cas, ainsi que la recherche des contacts sont fortement recommandés dans tous les scénarios de transmission. La notification globale des cas doit être considérée comme une mesure provisoire uniquement lorsque la notification des cas individuels n'est pas possible. L’OMS continuera de mettre à jour ces orientations au fur et à mesure que de nouvelles informations sur la COVID-19 seront disponibles.

Standard Treatment Guideline
A guide for developing a hygiene promotion program to increase handwashing with soap
Several countries have demonstrated that COVID-19 transmission from one person to another can be slowed or stopped. This document has been prepared based on the evidence currently available about Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission (human-to-human transmission primarily via respiratory... droplets from, or direct contact with, an infected person), and is designed to ensure that the accommodation sector can protect the health of its staff and clients.
