Development of Immunocompetence

The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

2.0K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

2.6K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Global Health Security
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • The Stop Transmission of Polio (STOP) program supported polio eradication efforts in South Sudan since 2009.
  • Support focused on addressing human resource shortages and enhancing acute flaccid paralysis surveillance.
  • External partners provided workforce capacity to the South Sudan Expanded Program on Immunization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To transition technical support from external partners to national staff in South Sudan.
  • To build sustainable national workforce capacity as a legacy of the STOP program.
  • To strengthen the South Sudan Expanded Program on Immunization through a dedicated human resources development project.

Main Methods:

  • A 3-year human resources development project was launched in 2015.
  • Training was provided to 56 South Sudanese nationals at national and state levels.
  • Participants were intended to transition to Ministry of Health staff upon project completion.

Main Results:

  • The project aimed to build national capacity for polio eradication and surveillance.
  • It focused on developing a sustainable workforce within the Ministry of Health.
  • The initiative served as a legacy of the STOP program's involvement.

Conclusions:

  • Capacity building is crucial for the sustainability of polio eradication efforts.
  • Transitioning technical support to national staff is a key strategy in endgame plans.
  • Investing in national human resources strengthens public health infrastructure for disease surveillance and control.
