Infectious diseases; epidemiology
Main research areas
My vision is early identification of non-communicable diseases in patients with acute and chronic infections. Research in prevalent as well as risk factors for incident non-communicable diseases may improve prevention of overt disease as well as reduce long-term complications associated with chronicityIn Burkina Faso: patterns of physical activity in children with moderate acute malnutrition.
