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... -

Evaluation of a non-radioactive chemiluminescent method for using oligonucleotide and polynucleotide probes to identify enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
We compared the applicability of an enhanced chemiluminescent (ECL) method for using gene probes with that of radioactive probes to identify enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in stools of Bangladeshi children with diarrhoea. Colony... -
Persistent diarrhoea: management in algorithmic approach using a low-cost rice-based diet in severely malnourished Bangladeshi children
Easy and successful dietary management of persistent diarrhoea has been a long desired goal. Finding an efficient diet which is economically feasible, and easy to prepare in poor homes of developing countries, has not been ... -
The effect of dietary protein supplementation on insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and IGF-binding proteins in children with shigellosis
Nutrient deficiency causes growth failure and decreases serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) concentrations. Because IGFBPs modulate the concentrations and availability of IGFs in serum, IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) were measured along with... -
Breast-feeding and the risk of life-threatening rotavirus diarrhea: prevention or postponement
To assess the relationship between breast-feeding and the risk of life-threatening rotavirus diarrhea among Bangladeshi infants and children younger than 24 months of age. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: ... -
Cell-mediated immune deficiency and malnutrition are independent risk factors for persistent diarrhea in Bangladeshi children
A community-based longitudinal study was carried out at Matlab, Bangladesh, to investigate the magnitude of the problem of persistent diarrhea; 705 children aged < 5 y were followed, yielding 7300 child-months of observation in&#... -
Effects of family sex composition on fertility preference and behaviour in rural Bangladesh
The effects of family sex composition on fertility preferences and behaviour during the period 1977-88 are examined using longitudinal data from Matlab, Bangladesh. The sex composition of living children was found to be systematical... -
Clonal relationships among classical Vibrio cholerae O1 strains isolated between 1961 and 1992 in Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, the replacement of classical Vibrio cholerae by the E1 Tor biotype in 1968 and the reappearance of the classical biotype and its coexistence with the E1 Tor biotype after 1982 were never adequately explained... -
Bacteraemia and meningitis among hospital patients with diarrhoea
To characterize bacteraemia and meningitis in diarrhoeal patients, the records of 3395 blood cultures and 120 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cultures from 6132 patients admitted with diarrhoea to the Clinical Research Centre of the Inter... -
Electron microscopic study of the attachment and penetration of rabbit intestinal epithelium by Providencia alcalifaciens
Ilea of adult rabbits with removable ileal ties (RITARD model) that developed diarrhoea and ileal loops of adult rabbits after inoculation with Providencia alcalifaciens, isolated from two patients with diarrhoea, were studied by tr...
