Neonatal iron distribution and infection susceptibility in full term, preterm and low birthweight babies in urban Gambia: study protocol for an observational study.

2019-10-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Neonatal infection is the third largest cause of death in children under five worldwide.  Nutritional immunity is the process by which the host innate immune system limits nutrient availability to invading organisms.
