Valerie Makoge, Early Career Grant 2021 awardee and RSTMH Global Assessor, recently published an article in International Health titled ‘Unveiling the hidden health challenges: malaria, helminths, STIs and other pathologies among street children, adolescents and young adults in Cameroon’. In this blog, she summarises the key findings. 

Highlights in the latest International Health include a cross-sectional study of point-of-care lactate testing in integrated community care management (ICCM) for children with acute respiratory illness in rural Uganda; an assessment of the prevalence of trachoma in the Adamaoua regions of Cameroon; and an economic modelling analysis evaluating the cost-effectiveness of the Cy-Tb skin test for latent tuberculosis infection in India. 

In the lead up to the deadline of the RSTMH 2025 Early Career Grants Programme, which closes for applications at 12:00PM BST, 14 May 2025, we are sharing a collection of articles published in RSTMH's Journals.
