| Chemoprophylaxis with antenatal azithromycin is under evaluation as a means to improve pregnancy outcome in Malawi, primarily by reducing chorioamnionitis (including that caused by GBS) and possibly malaria. According to a recent World Health Organization report, more than one million African babies die within their first month of life--500,000 within the first twenty-four hours--most from infections that could be easily and cheaply prevented with antenatal and newborn care. The study received hospital ethics approval and men were invited to participate when they attended antenatal clinics with their partners. |
