Impact of supplementary food on intake of breast milk in diarrhoea
The intake of breast milk during acute and early convalescent stages of diarrhoea (over a 7-day period) and a fortnight after discharge from hospital (late convalescent stage) was monitored in 33 breastfed children aged 8-24&#x... -
Phage types of Vibrio cholerae O1 biotype El Tor isolated from patients and family contacts in Bangladesh: epidemiologic implications
The epidemiology of Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor in rural Bangladesh was examined with a new phage-typing system for characterization of individual strains. During a two-year period, 537 strains were typed with a set of stand... -
Clinical illnesses and causes of death in a Burmese refugee camp in Bangladesh

Giardia lamblia infections in a cohort of Bangladeshi mothers and infants followed for one year
Giardia lamblia infection in an endemic area was investigated by following a cohort of 33 lactating mothers and their infants in a semiurban community of Bangladesh for one year. Eighty-two percent of mothers and 42% of&#x... -
Comparison of osmolarity of milk feeds with breast milk
This study examined the osmolarity of half strength formula milk plus 2.5% sucrose and half strength boiled cow's milk plus 2.5.% sucrose, to compare with breast milk i^ vitro to see the basis for different processes&#... -
Excess mortality among children discharged from hospital after treatment for diarrhoea in rural Bangladesh
Five hundred and fifty one children aged between 3 months and 3 years were followed up at home for 12 months after treatment of diarrhoea in a rural treatment centre of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease&... -
Changes in serotypes of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in Dhaka over time: usefulness of polyvalent antisera
The finding that enterotoxigenic (ET) Escherichia coli strains from many geographic areas belong to a limited number of serogroups led investigators to hope that polyvalent antisera could be used to screen for ET E. coli i... -
Identification of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in patients with diarrhea in Asia with three enterotoxin gene probes
A total of 984 enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and 733 non-ETEC isolated from patients with diarrhea in Asia (one isolate per patient) were examined for homology with radiolabeled fragments of DNA encoding heat-labile toxin&... -

Epidemiologic and clinical features of infection with Campylobacter jejuni in Bangladesh were examined in (1) diarrheal patients infected with C jejuni, (2) healthy control subjects, and (3) village children who were cultured monthly... -
The serological properties of the cell surface proteins of Vibrio cholerae
The serological properties of cell surface proteins of Vibrio cholerae belonging to both the biotypes (classical and El Tor) and the serotypes (Ogawa and Inaba) were investigated. Proteins were isolated by extracting V. cholerae... -
Application of a marriage model in rural Bangladesh
The standard marriage model is evaluated with respect to its applicability in Bangladesh, so that reliable and consistent estimates of mean marriage age for females in Bangladesh can be made. The standard marriage model propose... -
