Serum, breast milk, and infant antibody after maternal immunisation with pneumococcal vaccine
Pneumococci are a leading cause of severe bacterial disease in infants and children world wide. A possible means of protecting infants in the first few months of life is immunisation of the mother during pregnancy. We ... -
Molecular epidemiology of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae in Bangladesh studied by numerical analysis of rRNA gene restriction pattern
Cholera is endemic in Bangladesh, and a regular seasonal pattern of cholera epidemics occurs. We examined the clonal relationships among 103 clinical and environmental Vibrio cholerae isolates belonging to O1, O139, or non-O1 non-O1... -
Comparison of the vibriocidal antibody response in cholera due to Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal with the response in cholera due to Vibrio cholerae O1
Vibrio cholerae serogroup O139, now considered to be the second organism capable of causing epidemic severe dehydrating cholera, contains a capsular polysaccharide which makes it difficult for it to be used in the conventional ... -
Birth spacing and infant and early childhood mortality in a high fertility area of Bangladesh: age-dependent and interactive effects
To examine the effects of birth spacing on early childhood mortality, 3729 singleton births in 1983-84 were followed for 3 years in rural Bangladesh. Logistic regression analyses were used to assess whether the survival of ... -
A comparison of sisterhood information on causes of maternal death with the registration causes of maternal death in Matlab, Bangladesh
BACKGROUND. To explore whether causes of maternal death can be investigated using the sisterhood method, an indirect method for providing a community-based estimate of the level of maternal mortality, this study compares the sisterh... -
Characterization of Vibrio cgolerae non-O1 serogroups obtained from an outbreak of diarrhea in Lima, Peru
In February 1994, an outbreak of diarrhea caused by non-O1 Vibrio cholerae occurred among volunteers in a vaccine trial study area in Lima, Peru. Clinically, 95% of the patients presented with liquid diarrhea with either n... -
Impaired immune response to natural infection as a correlate of vaccine failure in a field trial of killed oral cholera vaccines
In a field trial carried out in 1985 in Matlab, Bangladesh, the authors evaluated whether subjects who developed Vibrio cholerae 01 infections during the first year after earlier receipt of B subunit-killed whole cell (BS-WC)&#... -
Predictors of diarrhoea in young Bangladeshi children
This study investigated diarrhoea episodes in 196 children aged 6-23 months in relation to their diarrhoea experience in the first 6 months of life, domestic hygiene, and number of other children aged < 5 years in ... -
Genetic rearrangements in the rfb regions of Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139
The recent emergence of a pathogenic new non-O1 serotype (O139) of Vibrio cholerae has led to numerous studies in an attempt to identify the origins of this new strain. Our studies indicate that O139 strains have clea... -
Treatment of shigellosis: IV. Cefixime is ineffective in shigellosis in adults
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of cefixime with that of pivamdinocillin in the treatment of adults with acute dysentery caused by Shigella infection. DESIGN: Randomized, double-blind clinical trial. SETTIN... -
C reactive protein and prealbumin as markers of disease activity in shigellosis
To evaluate serum C reactive protein (CRP) and prealbumin concentrations as markers of disease activity in shigellosis this study serially measured serum concentrations of CRP and prealbumin in 39 patients infected with Shigella spp... -
Characterization of Hafnia alvei by biochemical tests, random amplified polymorphic DNA PCR, and partial sequencing of 16S rRNA gene
Hafnia alvei strains which possess the attachment-effacement gene (eaeA) may have clinical importance as new diarrhea-causing pathogens and should therefore be differentiated from other H. alvei strains. We characterized diarrheal H. alvei&#x... -
Factors affecting acceptance of immunization among children in rural Bangladesh
This paper uses the Bangladesh Fertility Survey 1989 data to identify the factors affecting acceptance of immunization among children in rural Bangladesh. Acceptance of DPT, measles and BCG vaccinations were the dependent variables. ... -
Diffusion of the culture of contraception: program effects on young women in rural Bangladesh
This article describes a process of diffusion of family planning information, ideas, and technology among an unanticipated audience of young, unmarried women in rural Bangladesh. The data are derived from a focus-group study conduct... -
Direct and judgmental measures of family planning program inputs.
This report compares two different approaches to measuring the strength of family planning programs in Bangladesh and Kenya. The first approach, the judgmental approach, has been used in a number of studies during the past ... -
Hyperimmune cow colostrum reduces diarrhoea due to rotavirus: a double-blind, controlled clinical trial
The therapeutic efficacy of hyperimmune bovine colostrum (HBC) from cows immunized with four serotypes of human rotavirus was evaluated in a double-blind, randomized trial in 75 boys, aged 6-24 months, infected with rotavirus diarrh...
