Journal ArticleDOI

Use of quantitative molecular diagnostic methods to investigate the effect of enteropathogen infections on linear growth in children in low-resource settings: Longitudinal analysis of results from the MAL-ED cohort study

Elizabeth T. Rogawski, +157 more
TL;DR: Subclinical infection and quantity of pathogens, particularly Shigella, enteroaggregative E coli, Campylobacter, and Giardia, had a substantial negative association with linear growth, which was sustained during the first 2 years of life, and in some cases, to 5 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of quantitative molecular diagnostic methods to assess the aetiology, burden, and clinical characteristics of diarrhoea in children in low-resource settings: a reanalysis of the MAL-ED cohort study.

James A Platts-Mills, +159 more
TL;DR: Quantitative molecular diagnostics improved estimates of pathogen-specific burdens of childhood diarrhoea in the community setting and created aetiology prediction scores using clinical characteristics that could improve the management of diarrhoee in these low-resource settings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Causal Pathways from Enteropathogens to Environmental Enteropathy: Findings from the MAL-ED Birth Cohort Study.

Margaret Kosek, +142 more
- 01 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: The MAL-ED study represents a novel analytical framework and explicitly evaluates multiple putative EE pathways in combination and using an unprecedented quantity of data to demonstrate that enteric infection alters both fecal markers of inflammation and permeability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Campylobacter Infections Associated with Reduced Growth in Peruvian Children

TL;DR: The findings suggest that Campylobacteria is not as benign as commonly assumed, and that there is evidence to support expanding the indications for antibiotic therapy in campylobacteriosis in children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology of highly endemic multiply antibiotic-resistant shigellosis in children in the Peruvian Amazon.

TL;DR: Children living in this region had a 20-fold higher rate of disease incidence detected by active surveillance as those recently estimated by passive detection, although the diversity of serotypes will require a multivalent vaccine to have a significant impact on the burden of disease caused by shigellosis.
