Differentiation of Vibrio cholerae O1 isolates with biochemical fingerprinting and comparison with ribotyping
The Phene Plate (PhP) system is a commercially available typing system based on the measurements of kinetics of selected biochemical reactions of bacteria grown in liquid medium in 96-well microplates. The system uses numerical ... -
Lipopolysaccharide-specific antibodies in plasma and stools of children with Shigella-associated leukemoid reaction and hemolytic-uremic syndrome
Antibody responses to the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of shigellae were compared between children with uncomplicated and complicated Shigella dysenteriae 1 infection. One hundred fifteen children between 12 and 60 months of age with S. ... -
Hypo-osmolar sucrose oral rehydration solutions in acute diarrhoea: a pilot study
Based on studies showing improved absorption of hypo-osmolar oral rehydration solutions (ORS) with reduced glucose and sodium concentration, a hypo-osmolar ORS with sucrose replacing glucose (sodium 60, potassium 15, chloride 60, citrate ... -
Marriage patterns and some issues related to adolescent marriage in Bangladesh
Data from the 1989 Bangladesh Fertility Survey are used to examine marriage patterns among adolescents, factors associated with adolescent marriage, and socioeconomic characteristics of married adolescents. Findings indicate that 100% of fema... -
Monoclonal antibodies to the enterotoxin of Bacteroides fragilis: production, characterization, and immunodiagnostic application
A monoclonal antibody, ICT11, specific for the toxin of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) neutralized the cytotoxic effect of the toxin on human colonic cell line HT-29/C1. In an evaluation using 115 diarrheal stool s... -
Risk factors for deaths in under-age-five children attending a diarrhoea treatment centre
Few case-control studies have examined possible risk factors for diarrhoeal deaths in under-age-five children in the developing countries. We analysed data from the surveillance system of our diarrhoea treatment centre/hospital for the&#... -
Women's lives in transition: a qualitative analysis of the fertility decline in Bangladesh
The fertility decline that began in Bangladesh in the late 1980s and continues has prompted diverse theories to explain it. In this qualitative analysis of 21 focus-group sessions with rural women ranging in age from the&#... -
Helicobacter pylori infection in the young in Bangladesh: prevalence, socioeconomic and nutritional aspects
The gastric acid barrier, an important host defence against small bowel infection, may be compromised by infection with Helicobacter pylori. In developing countries, H. pylori infection occurs early in life and prevalence of hypochl... -
Neonatal rotavirus infection in Bangladesh: strain characterization and risk factors for nosocomial infection
Rotavirus (RV) diarrhea is an important cause of childhood morbidity and mortality in Bangladesh and is responsible for 24% of hospital admissions for diarrhea in children from 3 months to 2 years of age. However, the ... -
Randomised controlled comparison of single-dose ciprofloxacin and doxycycline for cholera caused by Vibrio cholerae 01 or 0139
Effective antimicrobial therapy can reduce the duration and volume of cholera diarrhoea by half. However, such treatment is currently limited by Vibrio cholerae resistance to the drugs commonly prescribed for cholera, and by the... -
Serum antibacterial and antitoxin responses in clinical cholera caused by Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal and evaluation of their importance in protection
Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal strain was the causative agent of the recent epidemics of cholera in India and Bangladesh. We studied antibacterial and antitoxin immune responses in acute and convalescent phase paired sera collected... -
Zinc concentration of breast milk and its diurnal variation in Bangladeshi mothers
Little is known about the zinc content of breast milk in developing countries. Zinc content in breast milk was analyzed in 34 mothers of low socio-economic status; 17 were primiparae and 17 multiparae. Women in their ... -
Absorption of macronutrients from a calorie-dense diet in malnourished children during acute shigellosis
A metabolic balance study was performed to determine the absorption of macronutrients and energy from different food items in 23 malnourished children aged 12 to 48 months with clinically severe acute dysentery due to shigellos... -
A simple filtration method to remove plankton-associated Vibrio cholerae in raw water supplies in developing countries
Plankton to which cells of Vibrio cholerae O1 and/or O139 were attached was introduced into 0.5% Instant Ocean microcosms maintained at 25 degrees C. The bulk of the plankton and associated particulates was removed with&#x... -
Clinical features, antimicrobial susceptibility and toxin production in Vibrio cholerae O139 infection: comparison with V. cholerae O1 infection
We prospectively compared the clinical features of cholera due to Vibrio cholerae O1 and V. cholerae O139 in 242 men 18-60 years of age, with a history of diarrhoea of 24 h or less, and moderate or severe de... -
Epidemiology & molecular biology of Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal
The emergence of Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal as the second aetiologic agent of epidemic cholera in October 1992 in the south Indian coastal city of Madras has shattered the long-held notion that only V. cholerae belonging&...
