Funded Activity Summary

Approximately one million babies die from infection each year with almost all deaths occurring in poor countries. Many of these infections are acquired from the mother around labour. Skin infection rates are very high in Pacific island countries. Our study in Fiji will determine whether a single dose of antibiotic in labour reduces infant skin infections. We will also assess the effect on maternal and infant infection rates, and the carriage of common bacterial.
