Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D as supplementary treatment for tuberculosis: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

TL;DR: Vitamin D does not improve clinical outcome among patients with tuberculosis and the trial showed no overall effect on mortality in patients with TB; it is possible that the dose used was insufficient.
Journal ArticleDOI

BCG scar and positive tuberculin reaction associated with reduced child mortality in West Africa. A non-specific beneficial effect of BCG?

TL;DR: BCG scar and a positive tuberculin reaction were associated with better survival in early childhood in an area with high mortality, suggesting that the effect of BCG vaccination could be due to non-specific immune-stimulation protecting against other infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-specific effects of standard measles vaccine at 4.5 and 9 months of age on childhood mortality: randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: The results may indicate that a two dose schedule with Edmonston-Zagreb measles vaccine given at 4.5 and 9 months of age has beneficial non-specific effects on children’s survival, particularly for girls and for children who have not received neonatal vitamin A.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of the risk factors for tuberculosis: a case–control study in three countries in West Africa
