Sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine plus azithromycin for the prevention of low birthweight in Papua New Guinea Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
BACKGROUND: Intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy has not been evaluated outside of Africa. Low birthweight (LBW, <2,500 g) is common in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and contributing factors include malaria and reproductive tract infections.
