Antibiotics and immune health in malnourished infants
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at whether unnecessary antibiotics affect how babies' immune systems develop during diarrhea. Researchers want to understand if avoiding unnecessary antibiotics helps babies in Bangladesh build stronger natural defenses, especially when they are not getting enough nutrition.

This study compares three different antibiotics to treat small intestine bacterial overgrowth (an overgrowth of bacteria in the gut) in children in Bangladesh. It aims to find which antibiotic works best.
This study tests how well a recommended treatment works for children aged 6 months to 5 years who have diarrhea caused by Shigella bacteria. It aims to find the best way to help children recover faster.
This study tests whether adding the antibiotic azithromycin to standard nutritional care helps young children with severe acute malnutrition recover better. It is for children aged 6 to 59 months in Burkina Faso who have uncomplicated malnutrition and are not currently on antibiotics.
This trial tests whether giving azithromycin to newborns who are smaller at birth can improve health outcomes in the first weeks of life. Your baby may be eligible if they meet specific age, feeding, and safety requirements.
This study tests whether giving a probiotic (a 'good' bacteria) to babies who received antibiotics shortly after birth can help their developing gut and immune system. Participants will receive a daily probiotic or placebo for about 6 weeks, and their health will be monitored.
This study looks at how taking antibiotics during late pregnancy affects a baby’s early immune protection, with breastfeeding as an important factor. You may be able to join if you plan to breastfeed and either received antibiotics for at least 7 days after 32 weeks or did not receive such antibiotics during pregnancy.
