Are the traditional 'early' and 'late' onset neonatal sepsis definitions outdated? Our meta-analysis suggests its time to reconsider the empirical regimens used to treat these syndromes, in the context of rapidly changing sepsis epidemiology and AMR 👶🧫🌍journals.lww.com/pidj/fulltext/…

Huge thank you to ISAC for this incredibly generous award to enable us to better understand the burden of pneumococcus in Sri Lanka, & optimise the management of respiratory infections in children.We are so looking forward to working with CSTH to launch this study 🇱🇰 👧 🧒 🩻 🧫

Busy but productive few days on the neonatal wards in Danang with the incredible team at WCH and PCTU for the #NeoSEAP project. World-leading locally-led kangaroo care programs making a big difference in reducing risk of #neonatalsepsis and protecting against #AMR 🇻🇳👶🧫🦠

Over half a million babies die every year from sepsis. It was such a privilege to work with so many child health experts to advocate for a strategy that can ensure every baby in the world who needs efficacious antibiotics can receive them 🦠 🧫 👶 🌍 💉 @gardp_amr #IDTwitter #AMR
Global Antibiotic R&D Partnership (GARDP)@gardp_amr

Public health experts have proposed a strategy to prioritize the development of effective #antibiotics for newborns who are resistant to current treatments. See the “online first” version. This will be published in the WHO Bulletin in December. 👉bit.ly/3SuXZu1

Our paper using Bayesian Networks to analyse Lymphatic Filariasis serology from Myanmar has just been published in @TropicalmedMDPI. It suggests benefit in adding antibody testing to post-MDA surveillance. mdpi.com/1688836
