BACKGROUND: There is increasing evidence that childhood vaccines have effects that extend beyond their target disease. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of routine childhood vaccines on bacterial carriage in the nasopharynx.METHODS: A cohort of...

Chloroquine/sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine for gambian children with malaria: transmission to mosquitoes of multidrug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum.

PLoS clinical trials

PMID: 16871318
PLoS Clin Trials. 2006 Jul 21;1(3):e15. doi: 10.1371/journal.pctr.0010015.

OBJECTIVES: In the Gambia, chloroquine (CQ) plus sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is the first-line antimalarial treatment. Plasmodium falciparum parasites carrying mutations associated with resistance to each of these drugs were present in 2001 but did not cause a significant loss of...

Long-term impact of malaria chemoprophylaxis on cognitive abilities and educational attainment: follow-up of a controlled trial.

PLoS clinical trials

PMID: 18992133
Trials. 2008 Nov 07;9:63. doi: 10.1186/1745-6215-9-63.

BACKGROUND: TB and HIV form a deadly synergy in much of the developing world, especially Africa. Interventions to reduce the impact of these diseases at community level are urgently needed. This paper presents the design of a community randomised...

Geographical disparities in core population coverage indicators for roll back malaria in Malawi.

International journal for equity in health

Int J Equity Health. 2007 Jul 04;6:5. doi: 10.1186/1475-9276-6-5.

BACKGROUND: Implementation of known effective interventions would necessitate the reduction of malaria burden by half by the year 2010. Identifying geographical disparities of coverage of these interventions at small area level is useful to inform where greatest scaling-up efforts...
