Abstract
Background. S. Typhimurium (STm) remain a prominent cause of bacteremia in sub-Saharan Africa. Complement-fixing antibodies to STm develop by 2 years of age. We hypothesized that STm-specific CD4+ T cells develop alongside this process.Methods. Eighty healthy Malawian children aged 0-60 months were recruited. STm-specific CD4+ T cells producing IFNγ, TNFα and IL2 were quantified using intra-cellular cytokine staining. Antibodies to STm were measured by serum bactericidal activity assay (SBA), and anti-STm IgG antibodies by ELISA.Results. Between 2006 and 2011, 449 STm bacteremias were detected in children
