In 2017, the first edition of my Paediatrics book was published. It was a sensation as it swept across most medical schools in Nigeria and was also popular amongst Paediatrics interns. It made understanding clinical paediatrics easy.

This study revealed that cerebrospinal fluid can be analysed at the point of care without needing to send samples to the laboratory. This is particularly important in resource poor settings. The CSF samples were analyzed using a glucometer and combistix.
