- W1574667077 abstract "About half of the patients with Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are currently detected by fixed health facilities and not by mobile teams. Given the recent policy to integrate HAT control into general health services, we studied health seeking behaviour in these spontaneously presenting patients.We took a random sample from all patients diagnosed with a first-time HAT episode through passive case finding between 1 October 2008 and 30 September 2009 in the two most endemic provinces of the DRC. Patients were approached at their homes for a structured interview. We documented patient delay (i.e. time between onset of symptoms and contacting a health centre) and health system delay (i.e. time between first contact and correct diagnosis of HAT).Median patient delay was 4 months (IQR 1-10 months, n = 66); median health system delay was 3 months (IQR 0.5-11 months). Those first presenting to public health centres had a median systems delay of 7 months (IQR 2-14 months, n = 23). On median, patients were diagnosed upon the forth visit to a health facility (IQR 3rd-7th visit).Substantial patient as well as health system delays are incurred in HAT cases detected passively. Public health centres are performing poorly in the diagnostic work-up for HAT, mainly because HAT is a relatively rare disease with few and non-specific early symptoms. Integration of HAT diagnosis and treatment into general health services requires strong technical support and well-organized supervision and referral mechanisms." @default.
