TL;DR: The data suggest that although 62% of children with severe ALRI are treated in hospitals, 81% of deaths happen outside hospitals, which suggests community-based management of severe disease could be an important complementary strategy to reduce pneumonia mortality and health inequities.

TL;DR: The trial showed that a 60-day course of benznidazole treatment of early chronic T cruzi infection was safe and 55.8% effective in producing negative seroconversion of specific antibodies.

TL;DR: The heterogeneity of dengue transmission within the city can assist in spatial targeting control interventions and be highlighted in multivariate analysis.

TL;DR: Assessment of rates of hospitalization among children 2–24 months of age who had pneumonia from all causes in Brazil from January 2005 through August 2011 found that 1 year after introduction of PCV10, hospitalizations of children for pneumonia were reduced.

TL;DR: The persistent and consistently long-term negative serologic reactions suggest the absence of the parasite in the treated patients and reinforces the recommendation of early benznidazole chemotherapy for T. cruzi-infected infants as a public health policy in endemic areas.
