Microbial Translocation Does Not Drive Immune Activation in Ugandan Children Infected With HIV.
(Oxford University Press, 2019-01-01)
Objective: Immune activation is associated with morbidity and mortality during human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, despite receipt of antiretroviral therapy (ART). We investigated whether microbial translocation ...
Late Presentation With HIV in Africa: Phenotypes, Risk, and Risk Stratification in the REALITY Trial.
(Oxford University Press, 2018-03-04)

The impact of improved water, sanitation and hygiene on oral rotavirus vaccine immunogenicity in Zimbabwean infants: sub-study of a cluster-randomized trial.
(Oxford University Press for the Infectious Diseases Society of America., 2019-02-16)
BACKGROUND: Oral vaccines have lower efficacy in developing compared to developed countries. Poor water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) may contribute to reduced oral vaccine immunogenicity. METHODS: We conducted a ...
Baseline Inflammatory Biomarkers Identify Subgroups of HIV-Infected African Children With Differing Responses to Antiretroviral Therapy
(Oxford University Press, 2016-05-18)
Background. Identifying determinants of morbidity and mortality may help target future interventions for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected children.
Methods. CD4+ T-cell count, HIV viral load, and levels of ...
Immune responses to oral poliovirus vaccine in HIV-exposed uninfected Zimbabwean infants.
(2017-11-02)
It remains uncertain whether HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants have impaired responses to oral vaccines. We performed a cross-sectional study of 6-month-old infants recruited at birth to the ZVITAMBO trial in Zimbabwe ...

Objectives: To describe the head growth of children according to maternal and child
HIV infection status.
Design: Longitudinal analysis of head circumference data from 13 647 children
followed from birth in the ZVITAMBO ...

(Elsevier, 2016-03-31)
The number of infants infected with HIV is declining with the rise in interventions for the elimination of paediatric HIV infection, but the number of uninfected infants exposed to HIV through their HIV-infected mothers ...
