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... -
Large epidemic of cholera-like disease in Bangladesh caused by Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal. Cholera Working Group, International Centre for Diarrhoeal Diseases Research, Bangladesh
Epidemics of cholera caused by Vibrio cholerae O1 occur regularly in Bangladesh, but until lately V cholerae non-O1 has been associated only with sporadic cases of diarrhoeal disease in many parts of the world, including B... -
The design and analysis of cholera vaccine trials: recent lessons from Bangladesh
The recent spread of cholera to Latin America, together with the persistent burden of this disease in Asia and Africa, have stimulated efforts to evaluate new cholera vaccines in field settings. Although the standard experiment... -
Acute toxicity of vitamin A given with vaccines in infancy
A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the safety and toxicity of vitamin A supplementation within the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI) in rural Bangladesh. 191 infants received 3 doses of&... -
Gender preference and birth spacing in Matlab, Bangladesh
Gender preference, particularly son preference, is believed to sustain high fertility in many Asian countries, but previous research shows unclear effects. We examine and compare gender-preference effects on fertility in two otherwise co... -
Treatment of typhoid fever with ceftriaxone for 5 days or chloramphenicol for 14 days: a randomized clinical trial
To compare the therapeutic efficacy of ceftriaxone given once daily for 5 days and chloramphenicol given four times daily for 14 days, a controlled trial was carried out with 59 patients who were culture positive for ... -
Siblings' neonatal mortality risks and birth spacing in Bangladesh
This paper studies the familial association of neonatal mortality in Matlab, Bangladesh and its relationship to birth-spacing effects on mortality. Findings show that familial association is strongest for siblings of adjacent birth order...
