There is also paucity of epidemiological data on the prevalence of rubella infection at Ido-Ekiti, hence the study aimed at carrying out a serosurvey to generate epidemiological data for this location. Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out between October 2018 and January 2019 at the Antenatal Clinic of Federal Teaching Hospital Ido-Ekiti (FETHI), Ekiti State, Nigeria. Original Research Article Akele et al.; AJI, 4(1): 27-35, 2020; Article no.AJI.57099 28 Methodology: One hundred and eighty four consenting pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at FETHI were enrolled. Structured questionnaire was administered to collect Sociodemographic data and sera samples were also collected to determine seroprevalence of rubella IgG and IgM antibodies using ...

Therefore they deserve to be given adequate care during 22 pregnancy, delivery and postpartum periods. Such care will not only prevent them from risks embedded in pregnancy and 23 delivery, but also assures a healthy start for the infant. This study seeks to examine the determinant of maternal health car 24 facilities utilization and to ascertain the quality of healthcare facilities available in the rural communities. Theoretically, the study 25 made use of Rational Choice Theory (RCT) and Health Belief Model. A descriptive research design was employed for the study, 26 using both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. The quantitative data was computer processed and analyzed 27 with statistical package for Social Science (SPSS v18.0). The outcome of the study indicates that Most of the respondents agreed 28 that they had not utilized health facility due to determining factors

AIM: The aim of this study was to provide an overview of the basic pathology and diagnostic laboratory features of COVID-19. METHODS: This review involved search of literatures on PubMed, Science alert, Medline, and Advanced Google search using the keywords “SARS-CoV2,” “Coronavirus” along with “pathology of COVID-19” and “diagnosis of COVID-19” with related articles pooled, relevant information extracted, and properly referenced. RESULTS: The recommended method of diagnosis is by nucleic acid testing of the viral ribonucleic acid in which real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction followed by nucleic acid sequencing when required is performed while some serologic techniques developed include enzyme-linked immunosorben...
