Efficacy of a single dose of furazolidone for treatment of cholera in children
To test the efficacy and safety of furazolidone given as a single dose for childhood cholera, a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial was carried out among 118 culture-positive dehydrated children with diarrhea. Patients were&... -
The association of haemagglutination and adhesion with lipopolysaccharide of Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1
In this study the ability of strains of Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 to agglutinate mammalian erythrocytes is attributed to the polysaccharide fraction of bacterial-cell lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS obtained from a rough, mutant stra... -
Role of rat intestinal glucoamylase in glucose polymer hydrolysis and absorption
Rice starch is a main source of energy in many lesser developed countries. We studied different chain-lengths of rice glucose polymers (GP) to evaluate their possible use in feeding infants in developing countries. The initial&... -
Antimicrobial therapy for shigellosis
In controlled clinical trials, which were first performed with use of the sulfonamides, antimicrobial agents have been shown to shorten the duration of symptoms and lessen the excretion of pathogens during episodes of shigellosis.&#... -
Zymodemes of Entamoeba histolytica in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Stool samples containing Entamoeba histolytica were obtained from two sources: an urban hospital and an urban slum. Using the enzyme patterns of three enzymes (E.C.2.7.1.1 hexokinase, E.C.5.3.1.9 glucose phosphate isomerase and E.C.2.7.5.1&#x... -
Acute lower respiratory tract infections in hospitalized patients with diarrhea in Dhaka, Bangladesh
This study focused on 401 children less than 5 years old who were hospitalized with acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRI) and diarrhea in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and who were investigated for the presence of both bacte... -
Plasmids and factors associated with virulence in environmental isolates of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 in Bangladesh
Plasmid profiles and factors associated with toxigenicity in 51 strains of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 isolated from water samples collected in Bangladesh were analysed. Eleven (21.5%) strains were found to harbour at least one plasmid&#... -
A double-blind, controlled trial of bioflorin (Streptococcus faecium SF68) in adults with acute diarrhea due to Vibrio cholerae and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
The therapeutic efficacy of Bioflorin (Streptococcus faecium SF68; Gipharmex, Milan, Italy) in acute watery diarrhea was evaluated in 183 Bangladeshi adults. Vibrio cholerae organisms were isolated from stool cultures in 114 patients, an... -
Enhanced sodium absorption by citrate: an in vivo perfusion study of rat small intestine
The effect of citrate on sodium, potassium chloride, and water absorption in the presence of glucose from the whole rat small intestine was studied by an in vivo marker perfusion technique. The perfusion solutions contained... -
Immunisation in a curative setting
OBJECTIVE: To study the uptake of vaccination offered to women and children attending a curative health facility. DESIGN: Prospective survey over eight months of the uptake of vaccination offered to unimmu... -
Therapy for shigellosis. II. Randomized, double-blind comparison of ciprofloxacin and ampicillin
Ciprofloxacin, 500 mg every 12 h, was compared with ampicillin, 500 mg every 6 h, both given for 5 days, in the treatment of 121 adult males hospitalized with severe shigellosis. Treatment was randomized and double-blinded... -
Epidemiology of shigellosis in Teknaf, a coastal area of Bangladesh: a 10-year survey
The epidemiological data on shigellosis in Teknaf, a coastal area of Bangladesh, were reviewed for a 10-year period (1975-84). Certain similarities and differences were observed in the epidemiology of the disease in Teknaf when ... -
The effect of maternal and child health and family planning services on mortality: is prevention enough
OBJECTIVE: To examine the impact on mortality of a child survival strategy, mostly based on preventive interventions. DESIGN: Cross sectional comparison of cause specific mortality in two communities differing ... -
Effect of various biophysicochemical conditions on toxigenicity of Vibrio cholerae 01 during survival with a green alga, Rhizoclonium fontanum, in an artificial aquatic environment
Toxigenic and nontoxigenic strains of Vibrio cholerae 01 occur in the natural aquatic environment. It is not clear whether V. cholerae 01 lose toxigenicity and become nontoxigenic during survival in the aquatic environment as a... -
Attachment of Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 to zooplankton and phytoplankton of Bangladesh waters
Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1, the causative agent of cholera, is capable of surviving in aquatic environments for extended periods and is considered an autochthonous species in estuarine and brackish waters. These environments contain&#x...
