Malaria in Papua New Guinean infants: a prespecified analysis of a randomised postpartum antimalarial treatment trial

There are scant and variable data concerning the incidence of malaria in infants in endemic areas. This study evaluated the impact of maternal antimalarial treatment given postpartum on malaria incidence and growth/development in infants from coastal Papua New Guinea (PNG).

Tests offered

The Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre offers a broad range of outpatient and portable tests for those affected by chronic respiratory conditions.

Equipment available – portable/community based

Portable equipment is available to enable bedside and community-led research in rural and remote communities, including Indigenous communities where children are disproportionately affected by chronic respiratory conditions.

Community involvement

One way the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre provides the opportunity for consumers and community members to contribute to our research is through participation in one of our eight community reference groups.

Research Track Record

The discoveries that have set our research apart primarily relate to the factors early in life that cause life-long respiratory problems.
