Oral rehydration solution without bicarbonate
Abstract The efficacy of oral rehydration solution without bicarbonate was compared with World Health Organisation oral rehydration solution in 98 young children in a double blind and randomised clinical trial. These childre... -
Excretion pattern of cryptosporidium oocysts in natural infectin in claves
Fifteen Holslcin-Friesian calves were examined for consecutive 20 days after birth to sec when they acquire Crypfosporidimn infect ion and Mie pa item of excretion of the prolozol oocysts in their faeces, The calves were&... -
Effect of intravenous somatostatin on stool output in diarrhea due to Vibrio cholerae
Somatostatin has been shown to inhibit intestinal secretion induced by a variety of secretagogues. The ability of somatostatin to reduce stool output in patients with cholera was therefore investigated in a double-blind randomized c... -
Isolation of enterotoxigenic, hemolytic, and antibiotic-resistant Aeromonas hydrophila strains from infected fish in Bangladesh
Strains of Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from skin infections of common freshwater fish in Bangladesh were tested for enterotoxin production, hemolysin production, and any correlation between these two activities. We also tested the resi... -
Weak serum and intestinal antibody responses to Vibrio cholerae soluble hemagglutinin in cholera patients
A soluble hemagglutinin/protease from Vibrio cholerae has been suggested to be a putative virulence factor and protective antigen. However, clinical cholera infection gave rise to detectable serum antibody responses to soluble hemaggluti... -
Strengthening government health and family planning progress : findings from an action research project in rural Bangladesh
An ongoing study at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B) is based on the premise that public sector health and family planning programs can be improved through an assessment of the dysf... -
Oral contraception in Bangladesh
In rural Bangladesh, the continuation rate of oral contraceptives (OCs) is the lowest among all methods except for condoms, and the pregnancy rate for OC users is comparable to that for users of traditional methods, which&... -
Influence of water temperature, salinity, and pH on survival and growth of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae serovar 01 associated with live copepods in laboratory microcosms
Abstract The influence of water temperature, salinity, and pH on the multiplication of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae serovar O1 cells and their attachment to live planktonic crustaceans, i.e., copepods, was investigated by using... -
Experimental studies on the pathogenicity of Vibrio mimicus strains isolated in Bangladesh
Abstract Vibrio mimicus, a newly described species of the genus Vibrio has been isolated from stools of 14 patients with diarrhoea. Live cells of all the 14 strains tested caused accumulation of fluid in rabbi... -
Oral rehydration therapy: efficacy of sodium citrate equals to sodium bicarbonate for correction of acidosis in diarrhoea
Abstract Forty patients with moderate degrees of dehydration and acidosis because of acute watery diarrhoea were successfully treated randomly with either WHO recommended oral rehydration solution containing 2.5 g sodium bicarbon... -
Usefulness of plasmid profiles for differentiation of Shigella isolates in Bangladesh
Abstract We studied the plasmid profiles of 136 Shigella isolates in Bangladesh to determine whether plasmid profiles could be used for differentiation of strains for epidemiological studies. Many different plasmid patterns ... -
Persistence of plasmids, cholera toxin genes, and prophage DNA in classical Vibrio cholerae O1
Plasmid profiles, the location of cholera toxin subunit A genes, and the presence of the defective VcA1 prophage genome in classical Vibrio cholerae isolated from patients in Bangladesh in 1982 were compared with those in ... -
Neuraminidase production by Vibrio cholerae O1 and other diarrheagenic bacteria.
Vibrio cholerae O1 strains belonging to both biotypes (classical and El Tor) and both serotypes (Ogawa and Inaba) produced neuraminidase which was released rather than cell bound. Classical strains made more neuraminidase than did&#... -
Mucosal antitoxic and antibacterial immunity after cholera disease and after immunization with a combined B subunit-whole cell vaccine
Mucosal and systemic immune responses to a new oral cholera vaccine, consisting of the B subunit plus killed vibrios, were studied in Bangladeshi volunteers and compared with those to clinical cholera. A single peroral dose... -
Effects of diarrhea associated with specific enteropathogens on the growth of children in rural Bangladesh
Village-based surveillance data from longitudinal studies in rural Bangladesh have been used to evaluate the nutritional consequences of infectious diseases, including diarrhea due to specific pathogens. The prevalences of specific illnesses ...
