Preventing Infections in Young Infants with Azithromycin in Labour (PreYIAL): a blinded placebo-controlled randomised controlled trial

每年大约有100万婴儿死于感染，几乎所有死亡都发生在贫穷国家。这些感染中有许多是在分娩时从母亲那里获得的。太平洋岛屿国家的皮肤感染率非常高。我们在斐济的研究将确定分娩时单剂量抗生素是否能减少婴儿皮肤感染。我们还将评估对母婴感染率的影响，以及常见细菌的携带。

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.
