Value of stool examination in patients with diarrhoea
Findings of stool examinations in 1593 patients with diarrhoea due to a single enteric pathogen--enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli rotavirus, Shigella, Campylobacter jejuni, Vibrio cholerae 0:1, Entamoeba histolytica, or Giardia lamblia--were reviewed&#... -
Beliefs and treatment related to diarrhoeal episodes reported in association with measles
Eighty mothers whose children had measles in the past month were interviewed for beliefs and practices related to the management of measles and measles associated diarrhoea. Beliefs and practices about diarrhoea, associated with mea... -
Protection against cholera in breast-fed children by antibodies in breast milk
We performed a prospective study to examine whether the IgA antibodies against cholera that are present in breast milk protect breast-fed infants and children against colonization with Vibrio cholerae 01 and disease. Among families&... -
Classical Vibrio cholerae biotype displaces EL tor in Bangladesh
The EL Tor biotype of Vibrio cholerae caused all endemic and epidemic cholera in Bangladesh from 1973 until Sept. 3, 1982, when the first classical strain was isolated from a patient in Matlab. Since then the number&#... -
Gram negative pharyngeal bacterial flora in malnourished children with shigellosis
It is well recognised that malnourished children are susceptible to frequent chronic and severe infections. Host factors like malnutrition and severe illness are i important determinants of gram negative pharyngeal ca... -
Long-term complication of measles in rural Bangladesh
A small retrospective study carried out in rural Bangladesh identified respiratory illness, diarrhoea and conjunctival dryness as complications of measles. A case-fatality rate of 1.3% was recorded. Association between length of diarrhoea... -
Characterization of surface properties of Vibrio cholerae
A number of isolates of Vibrio cholerae were examined with respect to their (i) surface hydrophobicity as measured by hydrophobic interaction chromatography, (ii) capacity to agglutinate erythrocytes, and (iii) ability to bind to an... -
Isolation and nucleotide sequence determination of a gene encoding a heat-stable enterotoxin of Escherichia coli
A gene encoding a heat-stable enterotoxin (ST) from an Escherichia coli strain isolated from a human with diarrhea was cloned and characterized by nucleotide sequence analysis. The gene was found to be partially homologous to&#... -
Serologic differentiation between antitoxin responses to infection with Vibrio cholerae and enterotoxin-producing Escherichia coli
A ganglioside enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to study and attempt to differentiate between antitoxin responses in persons infected with either Vibrio cholerae or Escherichia coli producing heat-labile enterotoxin. In most&... -
Consequences of hyponatraemia and hypernatraemia in children with acute diarrhoea in Bangladesh
A total of 1330 children under 3 years of age who during 1979 had been admitted to the general ward of ICDDR,B Health Complex for diarrhoea with complications were studied retrospectively for the relation between types... -
Genetic transfer of antimicrobial resistance and enterotoxigenicity among Escherichia coli strains
To understand the role of enterotoxin (Ent) plasmids in epidemics of enterotoxigenic (ET) Escherichia coli diarrhea in the United States, we studied the genetics of Ent plasmids in relation to E. coli serotypes and R plasm... -
Plasmid-borne multiple drug resistance in Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1, biotype El Tor: evidence for a point-source outbreak in Bangladesh
In 1979, an outbreak of plasmid-borne, multiply drug-resistant Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 biotype El Tor (V. cholerae O1) occurred in the Matlab area of Bangladesh. The outbreak could have resulted from the introduction into ... -
Ecological relationships between Vibrio cholerae and planktonic crustacean copepods
Strains of Vibrio cholerae, both O1 and non-O1 serovars, were found to attach to the surfaces of live copepods maintained in natural water samples collected from the Chesapeake Bay and Bangladesh environs. The specificity of&#x... -
Contraceptive users in rural Bangladesh: a time trend analysis
An examination of the characteristics of contraceptive acceptors in a family planning program in rural Bangladesh revealed trends of declining age and number of living children among new acceptors. A time series analysis of the... -
Immunochemical properties of the major outer membrane protein of Vibrio cholerae
Antisera to the major outer membrane protein of Vibrio cholerae (molecular weight, 48,000) raised in rabbits (i) agglutinated several strains of V. cholerae and (ii) immunoprecipitated outer membrane proteins prepared from both the ...
