Sponsor's own description
Globally, infectious diseases such as sepsis, meningitis and pneumonia are among the leading causes of neonatal deaths. A recent observational study in South Asia highlighted the contribution of both bacterial and viral infections to the burden of illness in infants \<60 days of age; however, there remains a need to quantify the risk of severe infection (SI) among newborns in a Bangladeshi population. In collaboration with researchers in Bangladesh, investigators aim to generate knowledge regarding the incidence and risk factors of SI, including the composition of the intestinal microbiome, in young infants (birth to 60 days of age) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Data will support the design and implementation of future trials to test the efficacy of novel interventions for the prevention of SI in young infants, to promote optimal growth and development, and to determine effects on other health outcomes in early infancy.
