    Christian L Coles
    Department of International Health, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA
    Pediatr Infect Dis J 31:341-6. 2012
    ..We evaluated the effect of a single mass distribution of azithromycin for trachoma on the risk of acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) during a 6-month period among young children living in 8 communities in rural Tanzania...
  2. ncbi Pneumococcal carriage at age 2 months is associated with growth deficits at age 6 months among infants in South India
    Christian L Coles
    Department of International Health, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD, USA
    J Nutr 142:1088-94. 2012
    ..Results suggest that pneumococcal carriage at age 2 mo is an independent risk factor for poor growth in young infants. Future studies need to clarify the role of Spn carriage on growth retardation in low-income countries...
  3. ncbi Association of mass treatment with azithromycin in trachoma-endemic communities with short-term reduced risk of diarrhea in young children
    Christian L Coles
    Department of International Health, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland 21205, USA
    Am J Trop Med Hyg 85:691-6. 2011
    ..By the 3-6-month period, diarrhea incidence was comparable between groups. Thus, MDA was associated with a short-term reduction in diarrheal morbidity in children...

    ..78 [(95% CI: 0.58-1.04); P = 0.095], which may imply a modest impact on carriage. If so, then the evidence thus far would suggest that Spn carriage reduction is unlikely to be a primary ancillary benefit of newborn VA supplementation...

    C L Coles
    S Daniel Abraham International Center for Health and Nutrition, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva, Israel
    Ann Trop Paediatr 29:291-300. 2009

    Christian L Coles
    Pediatric Infectious Disease Unit, Soroka University Medical Center, Beer Sheva, Israel
    Am J Epidemiol 162:999-1007. 2005
    ..Results suggest that improving antenatal care and the nutritional status of infants may reduce the risk of CAAP in Bedouin children. Furthermore, they suggest that vaccines developed to prevent diarrhea may also lower the risk of CAAP...
