Pediatric Infectious Disease Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran; Department of Infectious Diseases, Pediatrics Center of Excellence, Children's Medical Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Electronic address:
Introduction: The prevalence of anti-pertussis antibodies among infants and children in Iran has not been thoroughly investigated. Given that recommendations for booster vaccines are based on national disease epidemiology, we aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence of pertussis antibodies among infants and children in an Iranian referral hospital.
Materials And Methods: A total of 1012 infants and children were included in the study.
A study of association between maternal tetanus toxoid immunization and neonatal mortality in the context of Bangladesh.

Department of Statistics, Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh.
Background: Maternal tetanus toxoid (MTT) vaccination during pregnancy remains an important factor for reducing infant mortality globally, especially in developing nations, including Bangladesh. Despite commendable progress in reducing child mortality through widespread MTT vaccination during pregnancy, the issue still exists. This analysis explores the impact of MTT vaccination on neonatal mortality in Bangladesh and identifies associated factors.

Many human autoimmune diseases (AIDs) are hallmarked by the presence and persistence of autoreactive B-cells. While autoreactive B-cells may frequently encounter antigens, the signals required to balance and maintain their activation and survival are mostly unknown. Understanding such signals may be important for strategies aimed at eliminating human B-cell autoreactivity.

Rural Health Research Institute, Charles Sturt University, Orange, New South Wales, Australia.
Background: Identifying the modifiable risk factors for childhood mortality using population-attributable fractions (PAFs) estimates can inform public health planning and resource allocation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We estimated PAFs for key population-level modifiable risk factors of neonatal, infant, and under-five mortality in LMICs.
Methods: We used the most recent Demographic and Health Survey data sets (2010-22) from 48 LMICs, encompassing 35 sub-Saharan African countries and 13 countries from South and Southeast Asia (n = 506 989).
Risk factors and preventive role of vaccination in adult tetanus fatality: a systematic review of reported cases (1990-2024) and meta-analysis.

Koç University-Isbank Center for Infectious Diseases, Istanbul, Turkey; Department of Infectious Diseases, Koç University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey. Electronic address:
Objectives: This study identifies key risk factors for fatality among adult tetanus patients and assesses the impact of vaccination status and antibody levels on disease severity and outcomes in tetanus cases. Despite widespread vaccination, fatality rates remain high due to diagnostic and management challenges.
Design/methods: A meta-analysis of 182 tetanus cases from 36 countries, published since 1990, was conducted.
