Risk factors for delay in starting age-appropriate vaccinations among infants in urban slums of Bangladesh Open
Age-appropriate vaccination is crucial for infants, protecting them from vaccine-preventable diseases. Delaying in starting initial immunization may result in incomplete or non-vaccination in early life. However, limited vaccine coverage d…

Concurrent decreases in the prevalence of wheezing and <i>Ascaris</i> infection among 5‐year‐old children in rural Bangladesh and their regulatory T cell immunity after the implementation of a national deworming program Open
Introduction Epidemiological research on the prevalence of asthma and helminthic infections in various countries has led to the hypothesis that helminthic infections protect against asthma by suppressing the host's immune response. This st…
