  • Enteric dysfunction and enteropathogens among hospitalized south Asian and sub-Saharan African children

    Open AccessAbu Sadat Mohammad Sayeem Bin Shahid, Donna M Denno et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Enteropathogens and enteric dysfunction (ED) among acutely ill children in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs) may contribute to poor post-discharge outcomes. Enteropathogen prevalence and fecal ED biomarkers (myeloperoxidase, calprotectin, α-1-antitrypsin) from children aged 2–23 months hospitalized at nine LMIC facilities (n = 811) were compared to community children (n = 248). Host and pathogen correlates of ED biomarkers were identified t…

  • Characteristics and outcomes of children 2–23 months of age with prolonged diarrhoea

    Open AccessIrin Parvin, Abu Sadat Mohammad Sayeem Bin Shahid et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2024

    Background: Approximately 12% of all diarrhoeal episodes last for 7-13 days. As such, they are termed prolonged diarrhoea, and are associated with over two-thirds of all diarrhoeal deaths. Due to a lack of robust data, we aimed to evaluate a comparative background characteristics of young children with acute and prolonged diarrhoea, and their outcomes at day 90 follow-up. Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of data from the Antibiotics for…

  • Clinical epidemiology of Covid-19 among hospitalized children in rural western Kenya

    Open AccessAdino Tesfahun Tsegaye, Christina Sherry et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    The epidemiology of pediatric COVID-19 in sub-Saharan Africa and the role of fecal-oral transmission in SARS-CoV-2 are poorly understood. Among children and adolescents in Kenya, we identify correlates of COVID-19 infection, document the clinical outcomes of infection, and evaluate the prevalence and viability of SARS-CoV-2 in stool. We recruited a prospective cohort of hospitalized children aged two months to 15 years in western Kenya between Ma…

  • Considering Risks to Researchers and Staff in Low-Resource Settings during Public Health Crises

    Open AccessKrystle Perez, Muhammad Asim et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Human subjects research protections have historically focused on mitigating risk of harm and promoting benefits for research participants. In many low-resource settings (LRS), complex and often severe challenges in daily living, poverty, geopolitical uprisings, sociopolitical, economic, and climate crises increase the burdens of even minimal risk research. While there has been important work to explore the scope of ethical responsibilities of res…

  • Prevalence and correlates of insecticide-treated bednet use among HIV-1-infected adults in Kenya

    Obinna N Nnedu, Obinna Nnedu et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    HIV-1-infected adults are at increased risk for malaria. Insecticide-treated bednets protect individuals from malaria. Little is known about correlates of ownership and use of bednets among HIV-1-infected individuals. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 388 HIV-1-infected adults recruited from three sites in Kenya (Kilifi, Kisii, and Kisumu) to determine factors associated with ownership and use of optimal bednets. We defined an optimal bedn…
