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... -
Determinants of reproductive change in a traditional society: evidence from Matlab, Bangladesh

Parental son preference in seeking medical care for children less than five years of age in a rural community in Bangladesh
We examined drug purchases for children less than five years of age from privately owned pharmacies in Matlab, a rural area in Bangladesh. The male to female incidence rate ratio was 1.71 (95 per cent confidence inter... -
Mortality among primary and secondary cases of measles in Bangladesh
Data were reviewed from an intensive 1975-1976 survey in two Bangladeshi villages that experienced a high incidence of measles. Mortality among secondary cases (four of 50, 8.0%) was significantly higher than that among primary ... -
Enumeration of Vibrio cholerae O1 in Bangladesh waters by fluorescent-antibody direct viable count
A field trial to enumerate Vibrio cholerae O1 in aquatic environments in Bangladesh was conducted, comparing fluorescent-antibody direct viable count with culture detection by the most-probable-number index. Specificity of a monoclonal antibo... -
Segmental necrotising enterocolitis: pathological and clinical features of 22 cases in Bangladesh
To describe the pathology and clinical features of segmental necrotising enterocolitis (SNE) in children and adults, 22 diarrhoeal patients (median age two years, range two months to 50 years) in Bangladesh with this lesion det... -
Toxin production by Vibrio mimicus strains isolated from human and environmental sources in Bangladesh
Vibrio mimicus has recently been isolated from aquatic environments of Bangladesh. A total of 125 of 300 environmental isolates, representing various biotypes, and 19 human isolates were tested for enteropathogenicity by using several&#x... -
Arm circumference and other factors in children at high risk of death in rural Bangladesh
Mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) was measured monthly for 6 months in about 500 children aged 6-36 months from rural Bangladesh. Children who would die within 1 month of screening could be identified with 94% specificity... -
The association between malnutrition and diarrhoea in rural Bangladesh
The interaction between diarrhoeal disease and nutritional status measured by anthropometry was investigated in approximately 1000 children aged 1 to 4 years during April-December 1976 in a rural area of Bangladesh. Data on diarrhoe... -
A comparison of five anthropometric indices for identifying factors of malnutrition
Five anthropometric indices--weight-for-age, height-for-age, weight-for-height, weight velocity, and height velocity--are compared for identifying factors of nutritional status of children. Data come from Matlab, the field station of the International ... -
Isolation of Clostridium difficile from diarrhoea patients in Bangladesh
An attempt was made to detect Clostridium difficile and its toxin from the stools of 20 patients with antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD), 35 with colitis, six with chronic diarrhoea and 300 with watery diarrhoea. Two toxigen... -
Single dose tetracycline in cholera
A randomised clinical trial was carried out to explore the efficacy of single dose tetracycline therapy in cholera. One hundred and eighteen adult patients were assigned to receive either tetracycline in a single 1 g, or&#...
