Global Health Activities
Maternal Inflammation, diet and gut microbiome in HIV, India: impact on Infant outcomes, India: Preterm birth (PTB) is one of the leading causes of childhood morbidity and mortality. HIV-infected pregnant women have a greater incidence of PTB and this population warrants further studies to determine the risk factors. Some risk factors such as low maternal CD4 count, high viral load, co-infections, co-morbidities and treatment regimen are associated with increased preterm birth, but whether and the extent to which inflammation, a risk factor for PTB in HIV-uninfected populations, affects adverse birth outcomes among HIV- infected women remains to be studied. In a cohort of HIV-infected and uninfected pregnant women from Pune, India, we are: 1) Examining the association between inflammation during pregnancy and incidence of adverse birth outcomes among HIV-infected pregnant women, and 2) Determine the relationship of a) dietary intake and b) gut microbiome with inflammation status among HIV-infected pregnant women. Given that diet and gut microbiome are two environmentally modifiable factors that can affect inflammation, the goal of the study is to identify mechanisms to reduce inflammation and improve infant outcomes in HIV-infected populations.
MIGH-T MO Study, South Africa: Children who are HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU), i.e. children who do not acquire HIV infection despite HIV infection in their mothers, have a higher risk of mortality, infectious morbidity, and growth deficits than children who are HIV-unexposed uninfected (HUU). We are conducting a randomized trial of an intervention which combines human milk oligosaccharides and probiotics in breast-fed HEU infants in South Africa. The aim is to determine whether this intervention can reduce the excess infectious morbidity and growth faltering risks observed in HEU infants.
