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&... -
Factors affecting use of contraception in Matlab, Bangladesh
This study examines the relationship between family planning, perceived availability of contraceptives, and sociodemographic factors in rural Bangladesh. Data are from the 1990 KAP survey in the Matlab treatment and comparison areas, usi... -
Medical practitioners' knowledge of dysentery treatment in Bangladesh
Interviews conducted with four groups of medical practitioners in Bangladesh revealed widespread deviation from the treatment protocol for dysentery established by the World Health Organization (WHO). Questioned were 136 doctors (46 of w... -
Semiquantitative estimation of Shigella antigen-specific antibodies: correlation with disease severity during shigellosis
Systemic and mucosal antibody responses during shigellosis were analysed and correlated with clinical severity. Patients infected with Shigella dysenteriae type 1 (SDIP), and S. flexneri (SFIP) were grouped according to disease severity. ... -
The long-term demographic role of community-based family planning in rural Bangladesh
Experimental studies demonstrating the effectiveness of nonclinical distribution of contraceptives are typically conducted in settings where contraceptive use is low and unmet need is extensive. Determining the long-term role of active outrea... -
Why did maternal mortality decline in Matlab
In 1991, an article on the Maternity Care Program in Matlab, Bangladesh, reported a substantial decline in direct obstetric deaths in the intervention area, but not in the control area. The decline was attributed primarily ... -
Phage specific for Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal
From the stool of a Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal-infected patient, a phage that specifically lysed capsulated V. cholerae O139 strains only was isolated. The phage is useful for the confirmatory diagnosis of V. cholerae O139... -
Early complementary feeding is associated with low nutritional status of young infants recovering from diarrhoea
Young infants admitted to hospital for diarrhoea were studied to identify and understand the reasons for early complementary feeding and to examine its effect on nutritional status. Of 132 infants, 71 percent were being breastf... -
Vibrio cholerae O139: how great is the threat of a pandemic
The emergence of the new strain Vibrio cholerae O139 and its rapid spread in Bangladesh and India together with its detection in several other countries, have raised the question whether this constitutes the beginning of t... -
Demonstration of a lack of synergistic effect of rotavirus with other diarrheal pathogens on severity of diarrhea in children
The severity of group A rotavirus (RV) diarrhea was compared with that of mixed infections of RV with diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae O1, and Shigella species by a scoring system. The severity of mixed infe... -
Association between nutritional status, cell-mediated immune status and acute lower respiratory infections in Bangladeshi children
To investigate the association between nutritional status, cell-mediated immune status and the incidence of acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI). DESIGN: Community-based longitudinal study. SETTING: Three villages in rural Bangladesh at Matla... -
The effect of L-glutamine on salt and water absorption: a jejunal perfusion study in cholera in humans
To assess the efficacy of an L-glutamine solution on jejunal salt and water absorption in cholera patients. DESIGN: A randomized double-blind jejunal perfusion study. SETTING: International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh.&... -
Structure of the O-specific polysaccharide of an Aeromonas trota strain cross-reactive with Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal
The O-specific polysaccharide of an Aeromonas trota strain was isolated by hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide at pH 4.5 followed by gel-permeation chromatography and found to consist of hexasaccharide repeating units containing D-galactose,...
