Background: In 2004-2005, a survey carried out on food recipients in France revealed an alarming nutritional situation. In 2011-2012, and using a protocol similar to that of 2004-2005, our objective was to update the description of sociodemographic characteristics, dietary behaviors and clinical parameters of food assistance recipients and to analyze changes since 2004-2005.

Methods: Both surveys included multistage random sampling of adults benefitting from structures that supply food pantries and charitable grocery stores.

Background: We evaluated the prevalence of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection before and after highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) availability among neonates born to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected mothers. We also identified maternal risk factors associated with in utero CMV transmission.

Method: Routine screening for congenital CMV infection was performed from 1993 through 2004 in children born to HIV-1-infected mothers included in the French Perinatal Cohort (Enquête Périnatale Française).
