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... -
Determinants of adolescent fertility and its consequences for maternal health, with special reference to rural Bangladesh
The second section of this paper set forth a theoretical model relating adolescent growth and development to family formation patterns and their implications for maternal and child health. Subsequent sections of the paper examine&#x... -
Introducing the low-dose pill to Bangladesh; issues of continuation and failure
In response to government plans to introduce a low-dose pill to the national family planning program of Bangladesh, a comparison of the performance of low-dose and standard-dose pills among a rural Bangladeshi population was co... -
Albendazole and infections with Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura in children in Bangladesh
Two hundred and forty-five children infected with Trichuris trichiura, 143 of whom were also infected with Ascaris lumbricoides, were treated with albendazole as follows: single doses of either 600 mg or 800 mg, or daily d... -
Intake from an energy-dense porridge liquefied by amylase of germinated wheat: a controlled trial in severely malnourished children during convalescence from diarrhoea
To evaluate the role of an energy-dense diet liquefied with amylase-rich flour from germinated wheat (ARF) in increasing the energy intake in severely malnourished infants and young children and its acceptability to mothers. DESIGN:... -
Production, characterization, and application of monoclonal antibodies to Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal.
Mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were derived against acetone-treated whole cells of the newly recognized Vibrio cholerae O139 serogroup which is causing epidemics of cholera-like disease in India and Bangladesh. Four MAbs specifically ...
