A total of 171 participants were enrolled in this study. The mean postnatal age was 10.74 ±8.0 days. The male to female ratio was l.3:1. The prevalence of neonatal meningitis among suspected sepsis was 19.3%; 95% CI [13.5%-25.1%]. The prevalence of meningitis was 22.8% in Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis and 16.8% in Late-onset Neonatal Sepsis. Neurologic symptoms (seizure & altered mentation) were seen in 25% of the patients with meningitis. Two risk factors, Prolonged labor (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 4.98; 95% CI: 1.99 (1)
A total of 271 TB/HIV co-infected children were included in the analysis. Of these, 38 (14.02%) children were died during the follow-up period. This gives a total of 1167.67 childyears of observations. The overall mortality rate was 3.27(95%CI: 2.3±4.5) per 100 childyears. The independent predictors of time to death were age 1±5 years (as compared to age <1 year) (AHR = 0.3; 95%CI:0.09±0.98)), being anemic (AHR = 2.6; 95%CI:1.24±5.3), cotrimoxazole preventive therapy(CPT) non-users (AHR = 4.1; 95%CI:1.4±16.75), isoniazid preventive therapy(IPT) non-users (AHR = 2.95; 95%CI:1.16±7.5), having extra pulmonary tuberculosis(EPTB) (AHR = 2.43; 95%CI:1.1±5.3)) and fair or poor adherence to Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART)(AHR = 3.5; 95%CI:1.7 (1)

Conclusions The national distribution of HIV, TB and malaria was highly focal in Ethiopia, with substantial variation at subnational and local levels. Spatial distribution of the diseases was significantly associated with healthcare access, demographic and climatic factors. Spatial overlap of HIV, TB and malaria prevalence was observed in some parts of the country. Integrated control programmes for these diseases should be targeted to these areas with high levels of co-endemicity (1)
