Comparison of the modified relative dose response (MRDR) and the relative dose response (RDR) in the assessment of vitamin A status in malnourished children
The modified-relative-dose-response (MRDR) test and the relative-dose-response (RDR) test were compared in 49 mildly to moderately malnourished Bangladeshi children. The MRDR test had a significantly lower sensitivity, detecting only 71% of c... -
Impact of infection by Helicobacter pylori on the risk and severity of endemic cholera
To evaluate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and the subsequent risk and severity of endemic Vibrio cholerae O1 diarrhea among rural Bangladeshis, 285 children and adults with cholera (cases) and 881 contemporaneous... -
Trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole in the treatment of persistent diarrhoea: a double blind placebo controlled clinical trial
The efficacy of an absorbable antimicrobial agent trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) in the management of children with persistent diarrhoea was evaluated in a double blind, randomised, and placebo controlled trial. Of the 55 patients&#... -
Immunoglobulin subclass distribution and dynamics of Shigella-specific antibody responses in serum and stool samples in shigellosis
To assess the humoral immunological responses at the subclass level in shigellosis, specific antibody responses against Shigella dysenteriae 1 lipopolysaccharide (LPS), S. flexneri Y LPS, invasion plasmid-coded protein antigens (Ipa), and Shi... -
Detection of provisional serovars of Shigella dysenteriae and designation as S. dysenteriae serotypes 14 and 15
In initial studies of slide and tube agglutination tests of shigella-like isolates from diarrheal stools from Bangladesh, 10 and 8 strains of Shigella dysenteriae were identified as provisional serovars (serovars that have been defi... -
Isolation of sucrose late-fermenting and nonfermenting variants of Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal: implications for diagnosis of cholera
The sucrose-containing selective medium thiosulfate-citrate-bile salt-sucrose agar missed a sucrose nonfermenting and four sucrose late-fermenting variant strains of Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal from diarrheal stools. These strains were, however, correc... -
Household aggregation of Strongyloides stercoralis infection in Bangladesh
Strongyloides stercoralis infections were shown to be aggregated in households in an urban slum community in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Parasitological data on 880 residents living in 280 households were analysed statistically using 3 different&... -
Controlled study of Escherichia coli diarrheal infections in Bangladeshi children
Diarrheal diseases are highly prevalent in Bangladesh. However, the relative contribution of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli organisms--those that are enterotoxigenic (ETEC), enteropathogenic (EPEC), enteroinvasive, enterohemorrhagic, enteroaggregative, and diffuse&#x... -
Development and evaluation of co-agglutination test to detect rotavirus antigens in stools of patients with diarrhoea
Rotavirus is the most common cause of acute diarrhoea in infants and children in both the developed and developing countries including Bangladesh. Information about rotavirus diarrhoea in Bangladesh is insufficient primarily due to ... -
Effect of antimicrobial (nalidixic acid) therapy in shigellosis and predictive values of outcome variables in patients susceptible or resistant to it
We observed the clinical features and results of simple laboratory tests on stools of 33 children with bacteriologically proven shigellosis to identify features that could be used to assess the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy... -
Moraxella septicemia in children with diarrheal disease
We report 10 cases of Moraxella septicemia associated with diarrheal disease. Their clinical presentations and outcomes are discussed. Recognition of the pathogenicity of these microorganisms in appropriate clinical setting should result in&#... -
Vibrio cholerae O139 produces a protease which is indistinguishable from the haemagglutinin/protease of Vibrio cholerae O1 and non-O1
Haemaglutinin/protease (HA/P) is one of the virulence factors of Vibrio cholerae O1 and pathogenic strains of V. cholerae non-O1. In this study, we examined protease activity of a new serogroup of Vibrio cholerae recently&... -
Bacterial translocation in the rat model of lectin induced diarrhoea
Red kidney beans were fed to weanling Long-Evans rats to cause diarrhoea (mean (SD) faecal wet weight: 2.66 (0.73) g/day in six rats fed beans v 1.12 (0.47) g/day in six control rats, p < 0.01) and i... -
Hypotonic oral rehydration solution in acute diarrhoea: a controlled clinical trial
In a controlled trial, a hypotonic oral rehydration solution (ORS) (Na+67, K+20, Cl-66, citrate 7, glucose 89 mmol/l osmolality 249 mosmol/kg) was compared with a standard WHO-ORS (Na+90, K+20, Cl-80, citrate 10, glucose 1... -
The influence of socio-biological factors on perinatal mortality in a rural area of Bangladesh
The present study considers data on all pregnancies that ended in a stillbirth or live birth in a rural area of Bangladesh during the years 1982 to 1984. It considers the relationships of both biological and socio-eco... -
The sisterhood method of estimating maternal mortality: the Matlab experience
This study reports the results of a test of validation of the sisterhood method of measuring the level of maternal mortality using data from a Demographic Surveillance System (DSS) operating since 1966 in Matlab, Bangladesh.&#x... -
The presence of bicarbonate in oral rehydration solution does not influence fluid absorption in cholera
On the basis of human perfusion studies it has been speculated that bicarbonate ions in oral rehydration salt solutions (ORS) to treat diarrhoea are more efficiently absorbed from the small bowel. We evaluated the role of&...
