Minimally invasive postmortem intestinal tissue sampling in malnourished and acutely ill children is feasible and informative
BACKGROUND:Intestinal disorders such as environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) are prevalent in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and important contributors to childhood undernutrition and mortality. Autopsies are rarely performed in LMICs but minimally invasive tissue sampling is increasing...
