Pediatric Participant Retention Rates in a Longitudinal Malaria Immunology Study
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2022 Apr 18:tpmd211052. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.21-1052. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe resurgence of drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum parasites continues to motivate the development of a safe and efficacious malaria vaccine. Immuno-epidemiologic studies of naturally acquired immunity (NAI) have been a useful strategy to identify new malaria vaccine targets. However, retention of pediatric participants throughout longitudinal studies is essential for gathering comprehensive exposure and outcome data. Within the context of a 3-year cohort (N = 400) study involving monthly finger prick and bi-annual veno...

Spirituality has been introduced as the protective factor of children from the destructive effects of flood. After a flood, children experience post-traumatic stress disorder, respiratory illness, educational problems, diarrhea, malaria, ...

Travelling with children and adolescents with rheumatic diseases
Z Rheumatol. 2021 Apr 27. doi: 10.1007/s00393-021-01002-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDue to the underlying disease and immunosuppressive treatment, pediatric patients with rheumatic diseases are at increased risk for (long distance) travel-related health problems. A pretravel comprehensive consultation is therefore strongly recommended. Whether a child with rheumatic disease is sufficiently fit for travel essentially depends on the disease activity, the age of the child and the intended travel destination. Depending on the level of immunosuppression, the risks for this patient group include (travel-related) infections ...
