Reports and Findings
Investigators: Peter Le Souef Project description There have been almost no studies of the first illness caused by HIV infection. We have recruited adults from Mozambique who have presented to hospital with a febrile illness and determined which
The greatest threat to children’s health in the future is environmental change, including climate change. The Future Child Health project aims to quantify how current and future environmental changes affect child health.
Large numbers of children need emergency medical treatment each year for respiratory illnesses, particularly for wheezing and asthma.
Investigators: Tobi Kollmann Project description Sepsis is a major preventable cause of early life mortality affecting 3 million neonates and 1.2 million children worldwide. Neonatal administration of the Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) tuberculosis
Investigators: Alanna Sincovich Project description: The Pacific Early Age Readiness and Learning (PEARL) Programme, implemented by the World Bank, aimed to support Pacific Island countries in building capacity to design, implement and monitor
Patients with glucocorticoid-dependent Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) have increased fracture risk and reduced bone mineral density (BMD), often precipitating mobility loss.
Intra-individual transient temporal fluctuations in brain signal, as measured by fMRI blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) variability, is increasingly considered an important signal rather than measurement noise.
Invasive fungal disease (IFD) is a common and important complication in children with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). We describe the epidemiology of IFD in a large multicentre cohort of children with AML.

Invasive Staphylococcus aureus (iSA) and group A Streptococcus (iGAS) impose significant health burdens globally. Both bacteria commonly cause skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs), which can result in invasive disease. Understanding of the incidence of iSA and iGAS remains limited in settings with a high SSTI burden.
