An epidemic in the field? Rapid assessment procedures and health research.
Lenore Manderson,Peter Aaby +1 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews the development of various methods designed to generate relevant social information, pertaining to health and disease control, quickly and accurately, and examines the use of KAP surveys and the subsequent development of community diagnosis, rapid appraisal methods, rapid epidemiological assessment, and rapid assessment procedures (RAP) for anthropological studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
DC-SIGN (CD209), pentraxin 3 and vitamin D receptor gene variants associate with pulmonary tuberculosis risk in West Africans.

TL;DR: The findings support previous data showing that VDR SNPs modulate the risk for TB in West Africans and suggest that variation within DC-SIGN and PTX3 also affect the disease outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for parvovirus B19 infection in pregnancy.
Anne Kristine Valeur-Jensen,Carsten Bøcker Pedersen,Tine Westergaard,Inge Panum Jensen,Morten Lebech,Per Kragh Andersen,Peter Aaby,Bent Norgaard Pedersen,Mads Melbye +8 more
TL;DR: The risk of infection is high for susceptible pregnant women during epidemics and associated with the level of contact with children, but most infections seem to be the result of exposure to the woman's own children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adam Roth,Per Gustafson,Alexandro Nhaga,Queba Djana,Anja Poulsen,May-Lill Garly,Henrik Jeldtoft Jensen,Morten Sodemann,Amabelia Rodriques,Peter Aaby +9 more
TL;DR: A BCG scar is a marker of better survival among children in countries with high child mortality, and may affect the response to several major infections including malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
