Evaluation of indirect fluorescent antibody test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for diagnosis of hepatic amebiasis in Bangladesh
Serum samples of 31 amebic liver abscess (ALA) patients, 8 amebic hepatitis (AH) patients, and 60 controls were tested for anti-amebic IgG by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and indirect fluorescent antibody tests (IFAT). ... -
Socioeconomic status, clinical features, laboratory and parasitological findings of hepatic amebiasis patients--a hospital based prospective study in Bangladesh
Socioeconomic status, clinical, laboratory and parasitological features of 31 hospitalized amebic liver abscess (ALA) and 8 amebic hepatitis (AH) patients were studied. Thirty-seven (94.9%) of the total 39 cases were from low socioeconom... -
Identification of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli harboring longus type IV pilus gene by DNA amplification
DNA amplification of lngA, the structural gene of longus type IV pilus produced by human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) was achieved by the use of specific oligonucleotide primers designed from the nucleotide sequence of&#x... -
Living with infertility: experiences among Urban slum populations in Bangladesh
This paper explores the perceived causes of infertility, treatment-seeking for infertility and the consequences of childlessness, particularly for women, among a predominantly Muslim population in urban slums of Dhaka in Bangladesh. In-depth&... -
Susceptibility of Vibrio cholerae O139 to antibody-dependent, complement-mediated bacteriolysis
Volunteer studies with Vibrio cholerae O1 have shown that the best correlate of a vaccine's protective efficacy is its propensity to elicit serum bactericidal responses in its recipients. Attempts to detect such responses follow... -
Increased childhood morbidity after measles is short-term in urban Bangladesh
In a 1995-1996 cohort study in the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh, morbidity in 117 hospitalized and 137 acute measles cases compared with age-matched children without measles (unexposed) was determined by weekly interview for 6 mon... -
Missing men's messages: does the reproductive health approach respond to men's sexual health needs
After the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, the world has seen a shift in paradigm away from focused family planning programs towards reproductive and sexual health more generally. This article&#x... -
Teenage motherhood and infant mortality in Bangladesh: maternal age-dependent effect of parity one
Nuptiality norms in rural Bangladesh favour birth during the teenage years. An appreciable proportion of teenage births are, in fact, second births. This study examines the relationship between teenage fertility and high infant mort... -
Improvement in female survival: a quiet revolution in Bangladesh
This article examined the time trends of mortality and made a relative comparison of the mortality changes between males and females in different age groups in a rural area in Bangladesh between 1970 and 1995. Data fr... -
Evaluation of serum retinol, the modified-relative-dose-response ratio, and breast-milk vitamin A as indicators of response to postpartum maternal vitamin A supplementation
Conflicting results have been reported regarding the relative performance of serum retinol, the modified-relative-dose-response (MRDR) ratio, and breast-milk vitamin A concentrations in detecting changes in maternal vitamin A status. OBJECTIVE: We... -
Family planning and fertility in Bangladesh
Serum samples of 31 amebic liver abscess (ALA) patients, 8 amebic hepatitis (AH) patients, and 60 controls were tested for anti-amebic IgG by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and indirect fluorescent antibody tests (IFAT). ... -
Urinary choloyl-PABA excretion in diagnosing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth: evaluation of a new noninvasive method
The synthetic substrate cholyl-PABA, developed by conjugating cholic acid with paraaminobenzoic acid, is hydrolyzed by the bacterial enzyme cholyl hydrolase to release free PABA. This study aimed to evaluate whether quantitating urinary ... -
Trends in and determinants of mortality in the elderly population of Matlab, Bangladesh
Longitudinal data collected from the Demographic Surveillance System (DSS) in Matlab, a rural area in Bangladesh, are used for determining trends in and determinants of mortality of the elderly population (60 yr and over) in&#x... -
Climate and infectious disease: use of remote sensing for detection of Vibrio cholerae by indirect measurement
It has long been known that cholera outbreaks can be initiated when Vibrio cholerae, the bacterium that causes cholera, is present in drinking water in sufficient numbers to constitute an infective dose, if ingested by hum... -
Clonal groups of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated in case-control studies of diarrhoea in Bangladesh
Recent case-control studies in Bangladesh showed a high prevalence of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains (identified by DNA probes for virulence genes) associated with childhood diarrhoea. However, the clonal status of these...
