چکیده
From data in the thesis and using a different cut-off of -2. z-scores Garenne concludes that EZ-HT measles vaccine is de!ererious for boys, the difference being especially striking for wasting (weight-for-height). It should be noted that with a prevalence of 6.3% and 2.0% for EZ-HT and SW-STD boys, respectively (table), wasting was uncommon in bo& groups, being acrually lower than expeczed (2.5%) in the

متن کاملLessons from measles vaccination in developing countries.
Difficulties in reaching and sustaining high enough coverage combined with the need to delay vaccination until most infants have lost maternal antibodies make it hard to control measles with standard titres of measles vaccine.

متن کاملTesting the hypothesis that diphtheria–tetanus–pertussis vaccine has negative non-specific and sex-differential effects on child survival in high-mortality countries

OBJECTIVE The authors examined whether whole-cell diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine has sex-differential and non-specific effects. DATA SOURCES AND ELIGIBILITY Following previous reviews and a new search, the effect of DTP on mortality up to the next va...
