Critical assessment of the use of growth monitoring for identifying high risk children in primary health care programmes
To see whether change in weight was a more useful index than weight for age in assessing the risk of dying among malnourished children. Prospective cohort study. Rural community in Bangladesh be... -
Exclusion of clinically atypical or microbiologically mixed diarrhoeal episodes from outcome events in a field trial of oral cholera vaccines
We investigated whether alternative clinical and microbiological criteria for outcome events affected estimates of vaccine efficacy in a randomized, double-blind field trial of B subunit-killed whole cell (BS-WC) and killed whole cell-only&#x... -
Electropherotyping of plasmid DNA of different serotypes of Shigella flexneri isolated in Bangladesh
One hundred and twenty-five Shigella flexneri strains, isolated during January-December 1984, at the Dhaka treatment centre of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, were serotyped using absorbed rabbit antisera ... -
