Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of nitazoxanide on morbidity and mortality in Zambian children with cryptosporidiosis: a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: A 3-day course of nitazoxanide significantly improved the resolution of diarrhoea, parasitological eradication, and mortality in HIV-seronegative, but not HIV-Seropositive, children.
Journal ArticleDOI

High dose prolonged treatment with nitazoxanide is not effective for cryptosporidiosis in HIV positive Zambian children: a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: This is the second randomised controlled trial to suggest that in Zambian children with HIV-related immunosuppression nitazoxanide does not eradicate this infection nor provide clinical symptom reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal and systemic infection, HIV, and mortality in Zambian children with persistent diarrhea and malnutrition.

TL;DR: Although intestinal and systemic infections did not differ for HIV-seropositive and HIV-Seronegative children, HIV influenced nutritional states of all children and was associated with higher mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cryptosporidiosis in urban Zambian children: an analysis of risk factors.

TL;DR: It is concluded that transmission of C. parvum can vary dynamically within one city and over short periods of time, and that water-borne contamination may be a substantial influence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Susceptibility to intestinal infection and diarrhoea in Zambian adults in relation to HIV status and CD4 count

TL;DR: HIV has an impact on intestinal infection at all stages, with an increased disease-to-infection ratio, and the aggregation of disease in susceptible individuals irrespective of CD4 count suggests that this phenomenon is not a function of cell mediated immunity.
