Response to the 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak in West Africa overwhelmed the healthcare systems of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, reducing access to health services for diagnosis and treatment for the major diseases that are endemic to the region: malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis. (cdc.gov)
The 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak in West Africa debilitated the healthcare systems of affected countries, hampering diagnosis and treatment for endemic diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis (TB) ( 1 , 2 ). (cdc.gov)
The reduced demand for and availability of healthcare in the Ebola-affected regions exacerbated the severity of illness and number of deaths caused by malaria, HIV/AIDS, and TB. (cdc.gov)
Malaria, HIV/AIDS, and TB are 3 of the most prevalent infectious diseases in West Africa (5). (cdc.gov)
Without treatment, annual mortality rates are reported to be as high as 80% for severe malaria, 25% for HIV/AIDS, and 40% for TB ( 12 - 14 ). (cdc.gov)
In addition, HIV/AIDS and TB require long-term treatment, while malaria reinfections require repeated treatment. (cdc.gov)
Thus, disruptions of healthcare services that interrupt treatment may substantially increase the number of deaths associated with malaria, HIV/AIDS, and TB. (cdc.gov)
To estimate the indirect health burden of the 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, we developed computational simulation models for malaria, HIV/AIDS, and TB. (cdc.gov)
We developed 3 computational simulation models from a population perspective of disease burden: a disease progression model for malaria and 2 decision tree models for HIV/AIDS and active TB cases. (cdc.gov)
