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

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 🦠 🧫 👶 🌍 💉 Global Antibiotic R&D Partnership (GARDP) #IDTwitter #AMR

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 🇻🇳👶🧫🦠

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 🇱🇰 👧 🧒 🩻 🧫

ACORN is expanding! The Philippine General Hospital in Manila will soon come online as a semi-independent member of the network, focussing on neonatal and paediatric infections. Great to meet the team for training this week! @Wellcome_AMR MORU

Exciting seminar today at the MRCG with Dr. Ngamije Daniel, new World Health Organization (WHO) Global Malaria Director, discussing the current #Malaria situation and vaccine updates globally. He shared insights on progress, challenges, and renewed hope for eradicating this deadly disease 🦟🛑

David Mabey officially retires London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine today after a 40+ year career dedicated to improving health & wellbeing globally. It has been a huge privilege for myself & colleagues to have worked with him. Sadness but also pride at the immense impact David has had worldwide. Thank you.

Are the traditional 'early' and 'late' onset neonatal sepsis definitions outdated?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/…
