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... -
Peripheral blood neutrophil responses in children with shigellosis
Alterations in peripheral blood neutrophil function are known to occur in patients with colitis and may have a role in precipitating nonspecific tissue injury. It is not known whether neutrophil function is altered in patients&... -
Structure of the capsular polysaccharide of Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal containing D-galactose 4,6-cyclophosphate
The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal, which is thought to carry determinants of O-specificity, was isolated by phenol/water extraction followed by delipidation of the contaminating lipopolysaccharide at... -
Bulging fontanelle after supplementation with 25,000 IU of vitamin A in infancy using immunization contacts
To evaluate the safety of vitamin A supplementation in early infancy using DPT/OPV immunization contracts, a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in Bangladesh. One hundred and sixty-seven infants received three&#x... -
Down-regulation of gamma interferon, tumor necrosis factor type I, interleukin 1 (IL-1) type I, IL-3, IL-4, and transforming growth factor beta type I receptors at the local site during the acute phase of Shigella infection
An immunohistochemical technique was used to examine whether there was a colocalization of cytokine-specific receptors with cytokine-expressing cells. We have previously shown that there is extensive cytokine production and secretion in the&#... -
Shigella infection induces cellular activation of T and B cells and distinct species-related changes in peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets during the course of the disease
Immunophenotypic changes in peripheral blood lymphocytes (T, B, and NK cells) in patients during shigellosis was characterized by using triple-color flow cytometry. Eleven Shigella dysenteriae 1-infected adult patients (SDIP), 11 Shigella fle... -
Role of amylase-treated, energy-dense liquid diet in the nutritional management of acute shigellosis in children: a controlled clinical trial
To evaluate if an energy-dense porridge liquefied by amylase-rich flour (ARF) from germinated wheat increased the calorie intake in children with acute shigellosis, we studied 66 children, aged 6-35 months, in a randomized, controll... -
Study of hemagglutinating property of enteroinvasive Escherichia coli from various geographical locations
Thirty-four strains of enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) were examined for their ability to agglutinate erythrocytes from different animal species. All strains cultured in Casamino acid-yeast extract medium in the presence of 1 mM&#... -
Alanine- and glucose-based hypo-osmolar oral rehydration solution in infants with persistent diarrhoea: a controlled trial
To evaluate the efficacy of a hypo-osmolar and a standard (World Health Organization) oral rehydration salt (ORS) solution in persistent diarrhoea, a randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in 55 children. After a 1-day&#... -
Cytokines in the stools of children with complicated shigellosis
The pathogenesis of the systemic complications, leukemoid reaction and hemolytic uremic syndrome, associated with Shigella dysenteriae type 1 infection is not well understood. The excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor&...
