Doctors at the University of Virginia School of Medicine are launching an ambitious effort in sub-Saharan Africa to target the dual scourges of sepsis and tuberculosis, a combination that kills up to half the people who contract it.
UVA Health Drs. Scott Heysell, Christopher Moore and Tania Thomas are seeking to reduce the number of deaths among people living with HIV who develop sepsis, a potentially deadly overreaction to infection by the immune system. Currently, 16 million people in sub-Saharan Africa develop sepsis every year. The spread of COVID-19 likely will only worsen the problem – doctors fear the added burden of COVID-19 on health care resources could turn back decades of progress against both tuberculosis and HIV.
