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),... -
Postpartum contraceptive use in Bangladesh: understanding users' perspectives
Qualitative and quantitative data are used to explore postpartum contraceptive use in two populations in Bangladesh. Findings from in-depth interviews with contraceptive users illustrate that women are primarily concerned with their own ... -
Inconsistencies in the findings of the Bangladesh child nutrition surveys(abstract)
Objective: Investigate the reasons of inconsistencies in the findings in the Bangladesh child nutrition surveys. Methodology: Although the regular personnel of the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) collected data on anthropometry an... -
Comparison of PCR, isoenzyme analysis, and antigen detection for diagnosis of Entamoeba histolytica infection
The diagnosis of amebiasis by microscopic identification of the parasite in stool is insensitive and unable to distinguish the invasive parasite Entamoeba histolytica from the commensal parasite E. dispar. In this study, we have... -
Induction of fimbriated Vibrio cholerae O139
Several fimbriated phases of Vibrio cholerae O139 strains were selectively induced and compared immunologically and biochemically with those of V. cholerae O1. Fimbrial antigens were detected on the surfaces of vibrio cells colonizing&#x... -
Small bowel and fecal microbiology in children suffering from persistent diarrhea in Bangladesh
The etiology of persistent diarrhea in children is multifactorial. The objective of the current study was to ascertain the role of microorganisms in the etiology and pathogenesis of persistent diarrhea in a group of children&#x...
