Abstract:Background
Three billion people in low- and middle-income countries are exposed to household air pollution as they use biomass fuel for cooking. We investigated the associations between solid fuel use and nasopharyngeal (NP) inflammation, as well as the associations between high pneumococcal density and NP inflammation, in mothers and children in rural and urban Ethiopia.
Materials and methods
Sixty pairs of mothers (median age, 30 years; range, 19–45 years) with a child (median age, 9 months; range, 1–24 mo… Show more
