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... -
Methodological considerations in defining chronic diarrhoea using a distributional approach
Attempts to develop effective treatment and preventive strategies for chronic diarrhoea have been confounded by inconsistencies in defining the disorder. In the present paper, we illustrate some of the methodological considerations encountere... -
Survival of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1 with a common duckweed, Lemna minor, in artificial aquatic ecosystems
Cholera epidemics occur twice a year in Bangladesh. During epidemics, Vibrio cholerae O1 are isolated from patients, as well as from the surface water, but the bacteria disappear during inter-epidemic periods. Their reservoirs or&#x... -

A two-week age-matched case-control survey to detect Clostridium perfringens type C-associated illness was conducted among diarrheal patients hospitalized following the consumption of high protein meals on the occasion of an annual religious&... -
Transmission of diarrhoea in two crowded areas with different sanitary facilities in Dhaka, Bangladesh
To determine the importance of water-borne and water-washed transmission of diarrhoea we compared the degree of contamination of children's hands and drinking water with their diarrhoeal morbidity. Diarrhoeal incidence in 137 children... -
Trimethoprim resistance gene in Shigella dysenteriae 1 isolates obtained from widely scattered locations of Asia
Trimethoprim-resistance genes of Shigella dysenteriae 1 strains, isolated from a different location of six different countries of Asia over a 5-year period were characterized by using three different dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene p... -
Environmental sanitation, food and water contamination and diarrhoea in rural Bangladesh
This study examined the role of food and water contamination in a health impact evaluation of a water and sanitation intervention project. Although lower diarrhoea rates were found in the improved area no consistent difference&... -
Long-term persistence of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae 01 in the mucilaginous sheath of a blue-green alga, Anabaena variabilis
Cholera epidemics occur twice a year in the endemic area of Bangladesh. Vibrio cholerae 01 can be isolated from the environment only during the epidemics and the question of possible interepidemic environmental reservoirs of V.... -
Breast feeding and the risk of severe cholera in rural Bangladeshi children
The association between breast feeding and the risk of severe cholera was examined in a case-control study of rural Bangladeshi children under 36 months of age who were studied in 1985-1986 during a field trial of kil...
