    Point-of-care ultrasound #POCUS is possibly a promising low-cost imaging technique to manage most-at-risk #Lassa Fever patients.
    Check out this study by @CyrilErameh @ISTH_Irrua & @infektiodoc @UKEHamburg & al. @BNITM_de publ. in the #Journal_of_Infection:

    Fantastic to see this published! A seroprevalence study for Lassa Fever conducted by the #SierraLeonean KGH #LassaFever team and #TulaneUniversity team. Can stop using the 1970's reference now 🤣 .

    Most importantly they found seroprevalence >50% from villages across the country. This overturns orthodoxy of limited distribution of #LassaFever within the country. Much more effort is required to understand this spatial heterogeneity. Which unfortunately means longer and more expensive studies.

    I've been frustrated with some of the numbers reported when discussing #LassaFever this hopefully quantifies some of the uncertainty around numbers of reported cases.

    Would love to explore further if of interest to those who hold the data. @NCDCgov @Chikwe_I
