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... -

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

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... -
Pandemic spread of an O3:K6 clone of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and emergence of related strains evidenced by arbitrarily primed PCR and toxRS sequence analyses
Vibrio parahaemolyticus O3:K6 strains responsible for the increase in the number of cases of diarrhea in Calcutta, India, beginning in February 1996 and those isolated from Southeast Asian travelers beginning in 1995 were shown ... -
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the effect of zinc supplementation during pregnancy on pregnancy outcome in Bangladeshi urban poor
