However, during the second and third years of life, the risk of this outcome was similar in both breastfed and nonbreastfed children (RR = 0.98; 95% CI: 0.45,2.12), and no significant overall protective association between breastfeeding and severe ETEC diarrhea was evident during the first 3 years of life (RR = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.43,1.74).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusions.\u2003Exclusive breastfeeding appeared to protect infants against severe ETEC diarrhea, but breastfeeding was not associated with protection after infancy, nor was it associated with a major overall reduction of severe ETEC disease during the first 3 years of life. Although not diminishing the importance of breastfeeding, our findings suggest that other interventions, such as immunization and education about proper food hygiene, may also be required in efforts to prevent this major pediatric disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.100.6.e2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,13]],"date-time":"2004-08-13T23:40:17Z","timestamp":1092440417000},"page":"e2-e2","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Breastfeeding and the Risk of Life-threatening Enterotoxigenic<i>Escherichia coli<\/i> Diarrhea in Bangladeshi Infants and Children"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"John D.","family":"Clemens","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Dhaka, Bangladesh;"},{"name":"National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Bethesda, Maryland;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Malla R.","family":"Rao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Dhaka, Bangladesh;"},{"name":"National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Bethesda, Maryland;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Chakraborty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Dhaka, Bangladesh;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Yunus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Dhaka, Bangladesh;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Dhaka, Bangladesh;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bradford","family":"Kay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Dhaka, Bangladesh;"},{"name":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frederick P.
