Enteric dysfunction and enteropathogens among hospitalized south Asian and sub-Saharan African children
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…
Aflatoxin exposure and mortality in acutely ill children
BACKGROUND: Chronic exposure to aflatoxins is associated with liver cancer, impaired child growth, and compromised immune function. The Childhood Acute Illness and Nutrition (CHAIN) Network cohort was established to identify risk factors for mortality in acutely ill children admitted to nine hospitals in four African and two South Asian countries. We examined the role of aflatoxin exposure in inpatient and post-discharge mortality. METHODS: In a …
Phenotype is sustained during hospital readmissions following treatment for complicated severe malnutrition among Kenyan children
Hospital readmission is common among children with complicated severe acute malnutrition (cSAM) but not well-characterised. Two distinct cSAM phenotypes, marasmus and kwashiorkor, exist, but their pathophysiology and whether the same phenotype persists at relapse are unclear. We aimed to test the association between cSAM phenotype at index admission and readmission following recovery. We performed secondary data analysis from a multicentre random…
