Comparison of four plating media for isolating Vibrio cholerae
Two brands of thiosulfate citrate bile salts sucrose agar and Monsur taurocholate tellurite gelatin (TTG) agar were compared with two newly developed media, sucrose tellurite teepol agar and Vibrio parahaemolyticus agar for isolation... -
Epidemiology of Shigella dysenteriae, type 1 infections, in Dacca urban area
A prospective study of 47 families with an index case of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 was conducted in the urban areas of Dacca. The subsequent infection rates in contacts type 1 were 30.6% and 28.3% in the age&#x... -
Identification of gallbladder typhoid carriers by a string device
The efficiency of a gelatin capsule containing a nylon string for collection of duodenal specimens was investigated in carriers of Salmonella typhosa (typhi). Cultures of duodenal specimens obtained by means of the string capsule&#x... -
Use of colony pools for diagnosis of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli diarrhea
Diagnosis of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli diarrhea was made in 109 adult males with an acute dehydrating cholera-like syndrome in Dacca, Bangladesh, by testing 10 colonies isolated from admission stool specimens for production of... -
Resumption of menstruation among urban post-partum women in Bangladesh
To investigate the return of menstruation among postpartum women in Dacca, a random sample of 360 women (1-12 months postpartum) was selected from 4 Dacca hospitals for a cross-sectional study; another random sample of 200 ... -

The quantitative effect of infection on the use of food by young children in poor countries
A framework based on consistent and explicit set of assumptions is developed for evaluating the effect of infection on the intake and efficiency of use of food by children under 5 years old in poor countries. A v... -
Chlorpromazine reduces fluid-loss in cholera
Because chlorpromazine inhibited cholera-toxin-stimulated intestinal adenylate cyclase and fluid secretion in laboratory animals its ability to reduce fluid-loss in human cholera was investigated. Eleven cholera patients with severe purging (360--1340&... -
Relationship between enterotoxin production and serotype in enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
We examined the relationship between serotype and enterotoxin production in 109 enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains isolated from 109 patients with severe cholera-like diarrhea in Dacca, Bangladesh. Of 69 strains producing both heat-labi... -
Solid-phase microtiter radioimmunoassay blocking test for detection of antibodies to Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin
The development of a solid-phase microtiter radioimmunoassay blocking test to detect serum antibody to Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin is described. The assay is easy to perform and quantitate, and it is sensitive and specific -
Enhanced T-cell rosette formation in shigellosis by the in vitro use of thymopoietin
The results from this study suggest that the large nul cell lymphocyte population seen in patients with Shigella dysentery, does contain a sub-population of cells that will respond in vitro to thymopoietin, a bovine thymic ...
