Recent data from Médecins Sans Frontières and local health authorities highlight a concerning rise in noma cases across previously unaffected Nigerian states. Noma is a severe gangrenous disease affecting impoverished populations, causing severe facial disfigurement and high mortality rates, especially among children. Despite its eradication in developed regions, sub-Saharan Africa faces an escalating noma incidence. This communication highlights the urgent need for enhanced surveillance, awareness, regional treatment centers, and international support to mitigate its impact in Nigeria and avoid exacerbation of the condition across sub-Saharan Africa.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
