Stephen D. Hillier,Mark Booth,Lawrence Muhangi,Peter Nkurunziza,Macklyn Khihembo,Muhammad Kakande,Moses Sewankambo,Robert Kizindo,Moses Kizza,Moses Muwanga,Alison M. Elliott,Alison M. Elliott +11 more
TL;DR: Hookworm-P.
Journal ArticleDOI
Schistosoma mansoni, nematode infections, and progression to active tuberculosis among HIV-1-infected Ugandans.
Michael Brown,George Miiro,Peter Nkurunziza,Christine Watera,Maria A Quigley,David W. Dunne,James A. G. Whitworth,Alison M. Elliott +7 more
TL;DR: This analysis suggests an effect of S. mansoni infection on progression to active TB among HIV-1-infected Ugandans and suggests a possible role for helminth infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomised controlled trial of the effects of albendazole in pregnancy on maternal responses to mycobacterial antigens and infant responses to bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunisation [ISRCTN32849447]
Alison M. Elliott,Alison M. Elliott,Proscovia B. Namujju,Patrice A. Mawa,Maria A Quigley,Maria A Quigley,Margaret Nampijja,Peter Nkurunziza,John T. Belisle,Moses Muwanga,James A. G. Whitworth,James A. G. Whitworth +11 more
TL;DR: Untreated hookworm infection in pregnancy was associated with reduced maternal IFN-γ responses to mycobacterial antigens, but increased responses in their infants one year after BCG immunisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of bloodstream pathogens is higher in neonatal encephalopathy cases vs. controls using a novel panel of real-time PCR assays.
Cally J Tann,Peter Nkurunziza,Margaret Nakakeeto,James Oweka,Jennifer J Kurinczuk,Jackson Were,Natasha Nyombi,Peter Hughes,Barbara Willey,Alison M. Elliott,Nicola J. Robertson,Nigel Klein,Kathryn A. Harris,Kathryn A. Harris +13 more
TL;DR: This real-time PCR panel detected more bacteremia than culture alone and provides a novel tool for detection of neonatal bloodstream pathogens that may be applied across a range of clinical situations and settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of anthelmintic treatment during pregnancy on HIV plasma viral load: results from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Uganda.
Emily L. Webb,Jacqueline Kyosiimire-Lugemwa,Dennison Kizito,Peter Nkurunziza,Swaib A. Lule,Lawrence Muhangi,Moses Muwanga,Pontiano Kaleebu,Alison M. Elliott +8 more
TL;DR: Infection with some soil-transmitted helminth species is associated with increased HIV load in pregnancy, and treatment with albendazole causes a small decrease in HIV load; however, this may not represent a direct effect of worm removal.
