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... -

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... -

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... -

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,... -
Changes in the peripheral blood T-Cell receptor V beta repertoire in vivo and in vitro during shigellosis
A sequential activation of T cells in peripheral blood during shigello sis has been observer (D. Islam, P.K. Bradham, A. A. Lindberg, and B. Christensson, Infect. Immun 63:2941-2949, 1995). To further investigate the cellular r... -

This paper examines the association between infant mortality of the first born and subsequent children using data from rural Bangladesh collected during the period 1971-82. It shows that birth spacing and age of mother at ... -
Simple differentiation of Vibrio cholerae O139 from V. cholerae O1 and non-O1, non-O139 by modified CAMP test
Strong positive CAMP reactions were demonstrated by 121 Vibrio cholerae O139 and 504 El Tor isolates, and weak positive CAMP reactions were shown by 235 non-O1, non O139 isolates when these isolates were tested by a m... -
Maternal education and family income as determinants of severe disease following acute diarrhoea in children: a case control study
In a case-control study among the urban poor of Dhaka, Bangladesh, the association of maternal education and family income with severity of disease due to diarrhoea in children was examined. After adjusting for family income,&#... -
Mechanism and treatment of diarrhoea due to Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli: roles of drugs and prostaglandins
The primary objectives of these studies were to determine the clinical efficacy and safety of the potential antisecretory and antimicrobial drugs in the treatment of diarrhoea due to Vibrio cholerae and enterotoxigenic Escherichia c... -
