A randomized clinical trial to compare the efficacy of erythromycin, ampicillin and tetracycline for the treatment of cholera in children
To compare the clinical outcome of treatment of cholera in children with ampicillin, erythromycin or tetracycline, a double-'blind' randomized four-cell trial was carried out in Bangladesh. Ampicillin was chosen as additional therapy&... -
Astrovirus infection in association with acute, persistent and nosocomial diarrhea in Bangladesh
Diarrhea is an important public health concern in developing countries such as Bangladesh. Diarrhea in children that persists for 14 days or more occurs in 7% of patients in Bangladesh and frequently results in death. Astr... -
Plasma kinetics of an oral dose of [2H4]retinyl acetate in human subjects with estimated low or high total body stores of vitamin A
The deuterated retinol dilution technique is an indirect method for quantitatively estimating total body stores of vitamin A by using the postequilibration plasma isotopic ratio [2H4]retinol:retinol and the prediction model described by ... -
Chronic energy deficiency in women from rural Bangladesh: some socioeconomic determinants
This paper explores a number of socioeconomic factors thought to explain the wide prevalence of undernutrition among rural Bangladeshi women. The 1992 baseline survey data of the BRAC-ICDDR,B Joint Research Project at Matlab were&#x... -
Enteric infections in an endemic area induce a circulating antibody-secreting cell response with homing potentials to both mucosal and systemic tissues
Enteric infections induce a response of circulating pathogen-specific antibody-secreting cells (ASC). The expression of homing receptors (HRs) on these cells was studied in patients with diarrhea caused by Vibrio cholerae in Bangladesh, ... -
Duration of protective immunity conferred by maternal tetanus toxoid immunization: further evidence from Matlab, Bangladesh
Although maternal tetanus immunization has been shown to be highly effective in the prevention of neonatal tetanus, unresolved questions remain concerning the required minimum number of doses and the resulting duration of effective ... -
Increasing frequency of mecillinam-resistant shigella isolates in urban Dhaka and rural Matlab, Bangladesh: a 6 year observation
A total of 14,915 shigella isolates obtained in 1991-1996 from patients attending the Dhaka (urban) and Matlab (rural) treatment centres of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh were examined for susceptibi... -
Humoral immune and clinical responses to food antigens following acute diarrhoea in children
To investigate the effect of acute watery diarrhoea in children upon humoral immune responses to food antigens and the subsequent development of food allergy. METHODOLOGY: Serum antibodies to cows' milk, beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbu... -
Nutritional status and diarrhoeal pathogen in hospitalized children in Bangladesh
We studied the relationship between nutritional status and infection due to specific enteropathogens in young children with diarrhoea. Overall, 26% of the children were severely underweight, 27% were severely wasted and 19% were sev... -
The construction of adolescence in a changing world: implications for sexuality, reproduction, and marriage
This article aims to show how the period now known as adolescence came into being and how it was shaped by international economic, institutional, and social influences. It considers premodern societies and argues that tradition... -
Treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in infants in rural Bangladesh with oral immunoglobulins from hyperimmune bovine colostrum
BACKGROUND: Antibodies from hyperimmune bovine colostrum have been shown to be effective in treatment against a variety of microorganisms, including Helicobacter pylori in adults. AIM: To test this form of ... -
Characterization of the roles of hemolysin and other toxins in enteropathy caused by alpha-hemolytic Escherichia coli linked to human diarrhea
Escherichia coli strains producing alpha-hemolysin have been associated with diarrhea in several studies, but it has not been clearly demonstrated that these strains are enteropathogens or that alpha-hemolysin is an enteric virulence fac... -
Association of Providencia alcalifaciens with diarrhea in children
It has been demonstrated in previous studies that Providencia alcalifaciens can produce diarrhea by an invasive mechanism. In the present study, P. alcalifaciens was isolated from the stool specimens of 17 of 814 diarrheal chil... -
Structure of the O-antigen of Vibrio cholerae O155 that shares a putative D-galactose 4,6-cyclophosphate-associated epitope with V. cholerae O139 Bengal
The O-specific polysaccharide of Vibrio cholerae 0155 was studied by sugar and methylation analyses, dephosphorylation with 48% hydrofluoric acid, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, including two-dimensional COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, and heteronuclear single... -
Monoclonal antibodies to the epitope alpha-Gal-(1-4)-beta-Gal-(1- of Moraxella catarrhalis LPS react with a similar epitope in type IV pili of Neisseria meningitidis
Murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the A, B and C LPS serotypes of M. catarrhalis were generated and their binding specificity was examined in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Two broadly cross-reactive monoclonal&#... -
Maternal measles antibody decay in rural Bangladeshi infants--implications for vaccination schedules
Considerable numbers of measles cases occur below the target age for vaccination in the Indian sub-continent. The immunogenicity of measles vaccine in infancy is dependent on the rate of decay in maternal antibody since this&#x... -
Intra- and extracellular water dynamics on rehydration in cholera and noncholera patients
To estimate the intra- and extracellular body water compartments during rehydration of patients with cholera and noncholera diarrhea by bioimpedance analyzer, we studied 30 patients with acute watery diarrhea. Total body water (TBW),...
