Ebola virus disease and HAT treatment centers spatial distribution.

<p>This figure shows the spatial distribution of Ebola virus disease (EVD) incidence with both EVD and Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) treatment centers and newly diagnosed HAT cases during the study period (before and during Ebola outbreak) in coastal Guinea. *HAT: Human African Trypanosomiasis. ¥ Before Ebola: from Feb.2012 to Dec.2013. § During Ebola: from Jan.2014 to Oct.2015.</p

Timeline of the Ebola epidemic and HAT control activities.

<p>This figure shows in parallel the main events of the Ebola epidemic and of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) control activities between October 2013 and April 2016.</p

Passive screening and patients treated for HAT

Impact of Ebola outbreak on HAT testing and caring activities in Guinea, January 2012 to October 2015.

<p>This panel figure displays: (A) Monthly evolution of the number of persons diagnosed during active campaigns by HAT treatment center; (B) Monthly evolution of the number of persons tested passively by HAT treatment center (and as from 2014 corresponding district); (C) Monthly evolution of the number of persons initiating therapy by HAT treatment center; (D) Monthly evolution of the number of persons initiating HAT therapy according to the type of screening; (E) Monthly evolution of the number of persons initiating HAT therapy by disease stage at diagnosis (F) Monthly evolution of the number of persons attending 3 months post-treatment follow-up visit. HAT: Human African Trypanosomiasis: *Passive routine testing data were available only between January 2014 and October 2015. **All post-treatment follow-up visits were centralized at the Dubreka center whatever the place where the patients received HAT therapy (Dubreka, Boffa or Forecariah HAT centers).</p

Prognostic value of cytokine levels in SERO TL+.

<p>The prognostic value of cytokine levels measured at inclusion was evaluated by stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis. For this, SERO TL+ individuals were spited into three categories according to follow-up results: those who were confirmed as HAT patients (SERO TL+/HAT; n = 12; G1), those who presented decreasing CATT responses (SERO TL+/CATTneg; n = 15; G2) and those who maintained high CATT responses and remained negative in parasitology (SERO TL+/CATT≥1/8; n = 13; G3). Three models were then constructed independently by a stepwise procedure comparing SERO TL+/HAT (model I), SERO TL+/CATTneg (model II) and SERO TL+/CATT≥1/8 (model III) to the two other groups.</p>1<p>The covariate univariate p-value before the stepwise procedure is shown in between brackets.</p>2<p>Cytokine levels were assigned to two class of equal size using the cytokine median value as the threshold.</p>3<p>Odds ratio.</p>4<p>Confidence interval.</p><p>Prognostic value of cytokine levels in SERO TL+.</p
