Impact of health education on the feeding of green leafy vegetables at home to children of the urban poor mothers of Bangladesh
To evaluate the impact of health education on mothers, on the feeding of their children green leafy vegetables (GLV) at home, we studied 160 children aged 6 to 35 months and their mothers in two intervention groups&#x... -
Isolation of Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal from the aquatic environment in Bangladesh: implications for disease transmission
Currently, Bangladesh is experiencing an epidemic of acute watery diarrhea caused by Vibrio cholerae O139. Surface waters were collected and cultured for vibrious following enrichment. Twelve percent (11 of 92) of samples yielded V.... -
Short report: detection of Entamoeba histolytica and E. dispar directly in stool
Current diagnosis of Entamoeba histolytica infection requires the direct microscopic identification of the parasite, a technique that is insensitive and cannot distinguish pathogenic E. histolytica from noninvasive E. dispar. Enzyme-linked immunos... -
Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym bengal is closely related to Vibrio cholerae El Tor but has important differences

Levels and correlates of maternal nutritional status in urban Bangladesh
To determine the levels and correlates of maternal nutritional status. DESIGN: Cross-sectional maternal weight, height, and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) data were correlated with sociodemographic data. SETTING: &#x... -
Breast-feeding and child survival in Matlab, Bangladesh
This study investigates the effect of both total and unsupplemented breast-feeding in conjunction with birth interval on early childhood mortality, using longitudinal data from Matlab, Bangladesh. A discrete hazard model approach shows t... -
Comparison of pivmecillinam and nalidixic acid in the treatment of acute shigellosis in children
The efficacy of oral pivmecillinam was compared with nalidixic acid in the treatment of acute shigellosis in children 1-8 years of age. In a double-blind trial we studied 80 comparable children with bloody diarrhoea of les... -
Iodine deficiency alone cannot account for goitre prevalence among pregnant women in Modhupur, Bangladesh
We wished to determine the contributing causes of goitre among pregnant women in rural Bangladesh to provide baseline data before instituting iodine supplementation. DESIGN: All pregnant women in a subdistrict of Modhupur, Bangladesh... -
Isolation of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis from Bangladeshi children with diarrhea: a controlled study.
We undertook a controlled study of children younger than 5 years in Bangladesh to determine whether enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) was associated with diarrhea in this population. ETBF was isolated from 22 (6.1%) of... -
Molecular analysis of rRNA and cholera toxin genes carried by the new epidemic strain of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal.
Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal recently caused large epidemics of cholera-like disease in Bangladesh and India. We compared the restriction fragment length polymorphisms of ctxA and rRNA genes (ribotypes) in 27 isolates of V.&#... -
Diagnosis of amebic dysentery by detection of Entamoeba histolytica fecal antigen by an invasive strain-specific, monoclonal antibody-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
An invasive strain-specific monoclonal antibody against Entamoeba histolytica has been used in a capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of invasive E. histolytica fecal antigen in clinical specimens and for t... -
Management of acute diarrhoea in diabetic patients using oral rehydration solutions containing glucose, rice, or glycine
To assess the risk of hyperglycaemia with two standard oral rehydration solutions that contain carbohydrate compared with a carbohydrate free solution during rehydration of diabetic patients with acute diarrhoea. DESIGN--Prospective randomised... -
Measles in rural Bangladesh: issues of validation and age distribution
In the Third World, scientists have described thoroughly the pattern of measles in Africa. In Asia, however, the epidemiology of measles has been poorly described. In 1989, a measles surveillance system was initiated in Matlab,... -
Monoclonal antibodies specific for Shigella dysenteriae serotype 13. Production, characterization, and diagnostic application
Three mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) (ICL3, ICL4, and ICL5) were produced that specifically recognized the lipopolysaccharide antigen of the newly recognized Shigella dysenteriae serotype-13 strain. All three mAbs reacted with all nine&#x... -
Vibrio mimicus with multiple toxin types isolated from human and environmental sources
A collection of 13 strains of Vibrio mimicus, including both clinical and environmental isolates from different geographic regions, was examined for various toxins. One strain of environmental origin produced cholera-like toxin (CT) whic... -
Women's involvement in a rural Bangladesh water and sanitation project
Rural women were involved in a water and sanitation project (WSS) in which health impacts were compared between children in two areas: intervention and comparison areas. In intervention area people were provided with handpumps, ... -
Value of microscopy in the diagnosis of dysentery associated with invasive Entamoeba histolytica
To assess the reliability of the detection of erythrophagocytic amoebic trophozoites in stool samples in the diagnosis of dysentery associated with invasive Entamoeba histolytica. METHODS: Amoebic culture was carried out on...
