Sepsis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Preventing Serious Neonatal and Maternal Peripartum Infections in Developing Country Settings With a High Prevalence of HIV Infection: Assessment of the Disease Burden and Evaluation of an Affordable Intervention in Soweto, South Africa
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether use of the disinfectant chlorhexidine administered to the birth canal during labour and newborn at delivery can protect a woman and her baby from bacterial infections after birth. If effective, this could be used as an inexpensive alternative to antibiotics to prevent newborn infections in resource-poor countries.
