| the effect of vaccination coverage and climate on japanese encephalitis in sarawak, malaysia. | japanese encephalitis (je) is the leading cause of viral encephalitis across asia with approximately 70,000 cases a year and 10,000 to 15,000 deaths. because je incidence varies widely over time, partly due to inter-annual climate variability effects on mosquito vector abundance, it becomes more complex to assess the effects of a vaccination programme since more or less climatically favourable years could also contribute to a change in incidence post-vaccination. therefore, the objective of this ... | 2013 | 23951373 |
| armigeres subalbatus incriminated as a vector of zoonotic brugia pahangi filariasis in suburban kuala lumpur, peninsular malaysia. | in 2011, we reported occurrence of natural human infections with brugia pahangi, a filarial worm of dogs and cats, in a surburb of kuala lumpur, the capital city of malaysia. our preliminary entomological survey at that time suggested the mosquito species armigeres subalbatus as the vector of the zoonotic infections. in this present report, we provide biological evidence to confirm our preliminary finding. | 2013 | 23898840 |
| clinical characteristics and mortality risk prediction in critically ill children in malaysian borneo. | mortality risk prediction scores are important for benchmarking quality of care in paediatric intensive care units (picus). we aimed to benchmark picu outcomes at our hospital against the pediatric index of mortality 2 (pim2) mortality risk prediction score, and evaluate differences in diagnosis on admission and outcomes between malaysian and immigrant children. | 0 | 24862750 |
| a community-based prospective cohort study of dengue viral infection in malaysia: the study protocol. | globally, dengue infections constitute a significant public health burden. in recent decades, malaysia has become a dengue hyper-endemic country with the co-circulation of the four dengue virus serotypes. the cyclical dominance of sub-types contributes to a pattern of major outbreaks. the consequences can be observed in the rising incidence of reported dengue cases and dengue related deaths. understanding the complex interaction of the dengue virus, its human hosts and the mosquito vectors at th ... | 2016 | 27510731 |

| identification and validation of clinical predictors for the risk of neurological involvement in children with hand, foot, and mouth disease in sarawak. | human enterovirus 71 (hev71) can cause hand, foot, and mouth disease (hfmd) with neurological complications, which may rapidly progress to fulminant cardiorespiratory failure, and death. early recognition of children at risk is the key to reduce acute mortality and morbidity. | 2009 | 19152683 |
