Persistent diarrhoea: efficacy of a rice-based diet and role of nutritional status in recovery and nutrient absorption
A diet based on rice powder, soya-bean oil, glucose, egg-white and salts was given to twenty-six patients of different nutritional status aged 4-18 months with persistent diarrhoea and twenty-five age-matched controls without diarrhoea.&... -
Changes in body composition of malnourished children after dietary supplementation as measured by bioelectrical impedance
Body composition was measured with bioelectrical impedance in 35 malnourished children aged 24-59 mo to investigate the effect of a 3-wk feeding supplementation. Twenty children received a high-protein diet with 15% of total energy&... -
Absorption of macronutrients from a high-protein diet in children during convalescence from shigellosis
Absorption of macronutrients and energy intake were determined in 29 children aged 24-59 months, during convalescence from acute shigellosis. A 72 h metabolic balance study was performed to determine the absorption of carbohydrate, ... -
Pathology of shigellosis and its complications
One hundred and thirty-three colonic biopsies of proven cases of Shigella colitis were examined and post-mortem examinations were carried out on 29 fatal cases at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh ... -
Purification and characterization of vibrio cholerae O139 fimbriae
A Vibrio cholerae O139 (strain Al-1841) isolated from a patient with a cholera-like disease in Bangladesh predominantly produced new curved, wavy fimbriae (Al-1841 fimbriae) and small numbers of previously reported V. cholerae non-O1... -
Clinical trials of improved oral rehydration salt formulations: a review
(ORS), L-alanine-based ORS, L-glutamine-based ORS, maltodextrin-based ORS, and rice-based ORS, as well as the results of several recently completed, but unpublished, studies of these formulations that were supported by WHO. All experimental&#... -
Emergence of a new epidemic strain of Vibrio cholerae in Bangladesh: an epidemiological study
For decades, epidemic cholera in Bangladesh has produced contrasting pictures of appearance and disappearance of Vibrio cholerae, which until recently, remained confined to the biotypes and to serotypes of V. cholerae O1. The classi... -
Enterotoxigenicity, hemolytic activity and antibiotic resistance of Aeromonas spp. isolated from freshwater prawn marketed in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Aeromonas spp. were isolated from gills, swimmerets, eggs, stomachs and ventral muscles of freshwater prawns (Macrobrachium malcolmsonii) available in the local fish market of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The density of Aeromonas spp. on these... -
Hemagglutinating properties of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli
Many intestinal bacterial pathogens possess hemagglutinating properties, which are indicative of their adhesive properties to the intestinal mucosal surface. To understand the bacteria-mucosa interaction, 41 strains of enteroaggregative Escherichia col... -
Molecular cloning of the wild-type and mutant thyA gene from Shigella flexneri Y
The thyA gene which codes for thymidylate synthase has been cloned and sequenced from the wild-type Shigella flexneri Y strain SH4 and a thyA mutant TSF21 after amplifying the gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The&#... -
Production of slime polysaccharides by Shigella dysenteriae type 1
Electron microscopy of ruthenium red-stained ultrathin section of strains of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 grown in the Casamino Acids-yeast extract broth medium showed the presence of an extracellular slime layer. The slime appeared ... -
Pili of a Vibrio cholerae O139
The pili of a strain of Vibrio cholerae O139 were purified and characterized. They were morphologically, electrophoretically and immunologically indistinguishable from the pili with 16 kDa subunit protein of V. cholerae O1. All 22&#... -
Promoting sanitation in Bangladesh
A community-level survey was made in Bangladesh to assess the effectiveness of a health promotion campaign on sanitation. The data collected showed that the mobilization of schoolchildren to promote the construction and use of ... -
Thermal stability of an oral killed-cholera-whole-cell vaccine containing recombinant B-subunit of cholera toxin
An oral killed cholera vaccine containing 1 x 10(11) cells of Vibrio cholerae O1 (heat- or formalin-killed) representing the Ogawa and Inaba biotypes and containing 1 mg of B-subunit of cholera toxin (CTB) produced by reco... -
Socioeconomic and anthropometric status, and mortality of young children in rural Bangladesh
This article investigates the interrelationship of socioeconemic status, anthropometric status and mortality of young children in rural Bangladesh. Data for this study come from Matlab, the vital registration area of the International Ce... -
Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal possesses a capsular polysaccharide which may confer increased virulence
A newly described Vibrio cholerae serogroup--O139 Bengal, the causative agent of the recent large epidemics of cholera-like disease in the Indian subcontinent and neighbouring countries--possesses a high molecular weight capsular polysaccharide&#x...
