Oral rehydration therapy for treatment of rotavirus diarrhoea in a rural treatment centre in Bangladesh
In November 1977, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detecting rotavirus antigen was introduced in the laboratory of a rural treatment centre in Bangladesh. During the next 40 days rotavirus without other pathogens was found&#... -
Nutritional consequences of low dose milk supplements consumed by lactose-malabsorbing children
The nutritional consequences of supplementary milk consumption by lactose-malabsorbing children were determined by nutrient balance studies. Twelve subjects received a marginally adequate rice and vegetable base-line diet alone and with simulated&... -
Seroepidemiology of rotavirus infection in rural Bangladesh
A prospective seroepidemiological study of rotavirus infection was performed in children in a village in rural Bangladesh. Ninety-three percent of the children had detectable antibodies during the study, and there were 66 significant... -
Rapid assessment of health status and preventive-medicine needs of newly arrived Kampuchean refugees, Sa Kaeo, Thailand
In the disaster relief programme for Kampuchean refugees in Thailand, epidemiological techniques were incorporated into the health-planning process during the first 2 weeks of the refugee influx. The findings influenced not only health&#... -
Foodborne outbreak of shigellosis caused by an unusual Shigella strain
A family outbreak of foodborne shigellosis caused by an unusual strain of Shigella is described. The strain was a mannitol-positive variant of Shigella dysenteriae and agglutinated in antiserum prepared against provisional serotype 3341-55 -
Comparison of conventional and immunofluorescent techniques for the detection of Entamoeba histolytica in rectal biopsies
Two comparative studies of six staining techniques in detection of Entamoeba histolytica in rectal biopsies were performed. The techniques evaluated were direct and indirect fluorescent antibody technique, and four conventional stains: PAS,&#... -
R-factor carriage in a group F vibrio isolated from Bangladesh
Two group F vibrio organisms have been identified among a collection of vibrio strains isolated from the aquatic environment in Bangladesh. Neither group F strain produced a cholera-like enterotoxin. One of the isolates, BV12, ... -
Randomized trial of high- and low-dose ampicillin therapy for treatment of severe dysentery due to Shigella dysenteriae type 1
To establish optimal therapy for severe dysentery due to Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and Shigella flexneri, we compared in a prospective randomized trial two oral ampicillin doses (50 and 150 mg/kg per day) in 57 chil... -
Isolation of drug-resistant Aeromonas hydrophila from aquatic environments
Antibiotic-resistant strains of Aeromonas hydrophila have been isolated from the natural environment in the Chesapeake Bay and areas surrounding Dacca and the Matlab region of Bangladesh. The Bangladesh strains carried resistance to chlo... -
Epidemiology and causes of death among children in a rural area of Bangladesh
From a longitudinal surveillance programme among a rural Bangladesh population of 260,000, the epidemiology and causes of child death (under age 5) over 3 years (1975-1977) were analyzed. The most significant causes of death we... -
Village-based distribution of oral rehydration therapy packets in Bangladesh
The distribution of sucrose-electrolyte oral therapy packets (1 liter) by community-based workers in a rural Bangladesh population of 157,000 was evaluated. A similar population of 134,000 served as a comparison group. The locally-produc... -
Failure of a large dose of vitamin A to enhance the antibody response to tetanus toxoid in children
Field studies to determine the effects of a large dose of water miscible vitamin A on selected parameters of children's immunological function were completed in rural Bangladesh. There was no difference between vitamin A tr... -
Breast-feeding patterns in rural Bangladesh
Nearly 1500 women with live births from February through September 1974 were included in this multiple phase study of breast-feeding patterns in a rural area of Banglandesh. The median duration of breast feeding was observed&#x... -
Oral therapy in children with cholera: a comparison of sucrose and glucose electrolyte solutions
We performed a double-blind trial comparing sucrose electrolyte oral solution with glucose electrolyte oral solution in children less than 5 years of age with severe cholera-like diarrhea. Of 111 patients studied (102 with bacteriol... -
Microtiter ganglioside enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for vibrio and Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxins and antitoxin
We have developed a microtiter enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method for detecting the heat-labile enterotoxins of Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli using GM1 ganglioside as the base coat. This method compares favorably with a ...
