Journal Article
From river blindness to river epilepsy: Implications for onchocerciasis elimination programmes
2019
Overview
[...]intervention programmes targeting elimination of onchocerciasis as a public health problem do not take into account OAE. [...]OAE may increase onchocerciasis-related mortality among children and adolescents. [...]NS incidence in Uganda has been brought down to zero [4]. The household clustering of PWE has led communities and local healthcare workers to wrongly believe that epilepsy is contagious and transmissible by direct contact, hence increasing stigma. [...]educating communities and health professionals about OAE will reduce stigma and motivate people to take ivermectin [23].
