Cross-protection by B subunit-whole cell cholera vaccine against diarrhea associated with heat-labile toxin-producing enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli: results of a large-scale field trial
The B subunit (BS) of cholera toxin and that of the heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) are antigenically similar. We therefore assessed whether a combined cholera toxin BS/whole-cell (BS-WC) oral... -
Characterization of Campylobacter strains isolated in Bangladesh from different sources
Campylobacters have been isolated in Bangladesh from patients with gastroenteritis, from healthy individuals and animals. A total of 180 Campylobacter isolates, 100 from patients with gastroenteritis reporting to International Centre for Diar... -
Interethnic variation in the metabolic inactivation of digoxin by the gut flora
Digoxin is metabolized to cardioinactive reduced metabolites (digoxin reduction products) in some patients by anaerobic bacteria present in the gut flora. We compared the tendencies of Americans and Bangladeshis to reduce digoxin by ... -
Field trial of oral cholera vaccines in Bangladesh: results of one year of follow-up
We assessed the protective efficacy (PE) of three doses of B subunit-killed whole cell (BS-WC) and killed whole cell-only (WC) oral cholera vaccines in a randomized, double-blind trial among 62,285 children and women residing i... -
Congo red binding and salt aggregation as indicators of virulence in Shigella species
Smooth strains of Shigella dysenteriae type 1, Shigella flexneri, Shigella boydii, and Shigella sonnei which form pigmented colonies (Pcr+) on Congo red agar were virulent in the Sereny test. Smooth variants unable to bind Cong... -
Impact of B subunit killed whole-cell and killed whole-cell-only oral vaccines against cholera upon treated diarrhoeal illness and mortality in an area endemic for cholera
The impact of B subunit killed whole-cell (BS-WC) and killed whole-cell-only (WC) oral cholera vaccines was assessed in a randomised double-blind trial in rural Bangladesh. 62,285 children aged 2-15 years and women aged over 15... -
Decreased gastric acid secretion and bacterial colonization of the stomach in severely malnourished Bangladeshi children
To assess the effect of malnutrition on gastric acidity and gastric bacterial colonization, we studied 35 severely malnourished Bangladeshi children before (0 wk) and after (3 wk) they received nutritional rehabilitation for 3 wk.&#... -
Cholera, rotavirus and ETEC diarrhoea : some clinico-epidemiological features
This paper analyses a few selected features from the history and clinical examination of 1258 patients with acute diarrhoea and a single laboratory diagnosis of either cholera, rotavirus, or enterotoxigenic (ETEC) Escherichia coli i... -
Breast feeding, nutritional state, and child survival in rural Bangladesh
The effect of breast feeding on nutritional state, morbidity, and child survival was examined prospectively in a community in rural Bangladesh. Every month for six months health workers inquired about breast feeding and illness ... -
Studies on the factors affecting the haemolysin production of Vibrio mimicus isolated from clinical and environmental sources
The in vitro production of haemolysin by Vibrio mimicus, a newly described aetiological agent for human diarrhoea, was determined using sheep erythrocytes. The effects of medium composition and sodium chloride concentration on haemolysin... -
The influence of gender on determinants of urban childhood mortality in Bangladesh
To assess sociodemographic characteristics predicting childhood mortality in urban Bangladesh, we conducted a case-control study of subjects selected from 51 low and middle class areas of urban Dhaka between 14 October 1984 and 13&#... -
The prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica in lactating women and in their infants in Bangladesh
Entamoeba histolytica was studied in 33 lactating women and their infants in a periurban village in Bangladesh. Infant-mother pairs were followed for a period of 10-15 months: 67% of mothers excreted E. histolytica during the&#... -
Bacterial overgrowth by indigenous microflora in the phytohemagglutinin-fed rat
Phytohemagglutinin lectin (PHA) derived from red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) causes bacterial and protozoal colonization of the rat small intestine. To provide additional insights into this phenomenon we have studied the time course... -
Time-space clustering of Vibrio cholerae 01 in Matlab, Bangladesh, 1970-1982
Growing evidence for the existence of an aquatic reservoir of Vibrio cholerae has led some observers to postulate the existence of two distinct modes of disease transmission: primary and secondary. In primary transmission vibrios&#x... -
Reinfection with Ascaris lumbricoides after chemotherapy: a comparative study in three villages with varying sanitation
This study examined the effect of the 2 major means of control of Ascaris lumbricoides--chemotherapy and sanitation. About 200 pre-school Caribbean children living in 3 villages with varying sanitation were studied by quantitative s...
