Low amounts of water for washing were also associated withunclean faces and impetigo in the children. if such a relationship can besubstantiated it might provide the basis for effective and cheapinterventions against trachoma.Address:Department of Clinical Sciences,London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine,UK.10.

Trans-R-Soc-Trop-Med-Hya. 85(6): 814-8.Abstract:Diarrhoea morbidity data were collected prospectively over 22 monthsfrom a cohort of young children living in a deprived community in ruralZimbabwe. Despite the general high prevalence of diarrhoeal disease,there was considerable individual variability in attack rates. Risk factorsassociated with high diarrhoea frequency were therefore sought by aquestionnaire study on feeding, environmental, educational and socioeconomicfactors. This was supported by observation of living conditions,and water and sanitation facilities. Surprisingly, no association was foundbetween diarrhoeal morbidity and any of these factors, suggesting thatother factors such as individual hygiene behaviour or individualsusceptibility to diarrhoea may play a role in determining the observeddifferences in diarrhoea rates in this community.Address:Institute of Child Health,University of Birmingham,UK.11.

J-Diarrhoeal-Dis-Res. 9(3): 219-26.Abstract:We investigated food hygiene-related behaviour as well as other riskfactors for diarrhoea in children 6-36 months of age in Iwaya community inLagos, Nigeria. Between April and July 1989, a bi-weekly diarrhoeasurveillance was maintained in 672 households. Following thesurveillance, 273 (case = 67 and control = 206) families were visited twice,http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/cv/wedc/garnet/hybnews.html (16 of 20) [1/13/2005 12:50:12 PM]
