Enteric adenovirus infection among infants with diarrhea in rural Bangladesh
A total of 4,409 stool specimens from infants less than 5 years of age seeking treatment for diarrhea in Matlab, Bangladesh, were tested for the presence of adenoviruses by using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA). EIA-positive s... -
Malabsorption of nutrients in children with diarrhoea due to unknown aetiologies
Intake and coefficient of absorption of nutrients were measured in 72 children during acute diarrhoea and 2 weeks after recovery. No diarrhoeal pathogens could be identified in 18 (25%) children (group I). Aetiology of diarrhoe... -
A monoclonal antibody to Shigella dysenteriae serotype 13 cross-reacting with Shiga toxin
A monoclonal antibody (mAb ICT6) was produced against the newly described Shigella dysenteriae serotype type 13. The mAb was of IgM isotype and recognized purified Shiga toxin in ELISA and immunoblot. It also recognized peripla... -
Localization of myosin heavy chain A in the human pathogen Entamoeba histolytica
To recognize myosin II in trophozoites of the human pathogen Entamoeba histolytica, a specific antimyosin polyclonal serum was raised against a fusion protein consisting of a 146-amino-acid fragment of the myosin II heavy chain ... -
Malnutrition, cell-mediated immune deficiency, and diarrhea: a community-based longitudinal study in rural Bangladeshi children
A community-based longitudinal study was conducted in Matlab, a rural area of Bangladesh, from May 1988 to April 1989 to examine the associations among malnutrition, cell-mediated immune deficiency, and the incidence of diarrhea in&... -
Use of the polymerase chain reaction and fluorescent-antibody methods for detecting viable but nonculturable Shigella dysenteriae type 1 in laboratory microcosms
Epidemiological studies of shigellosis in Bangladesh have demonstrated that surface-water sources can act as foci of infection. Studies of laboratory microcosms have shown that shigellae become nonculturable but remain viable when exposed... -
Growth and survival of Shigella flexneri in common Bangladeshi foods under various conditions of time and temperature
Survival and growth of Shigella flexneri were assessed in various foods, including boiled rice, lentil soup, milk, cooked beef, cooked fish, mashed potato, mashed brinjal, and raw cucumber. Growth at 25 and 37 degrees C an... -
Albendazole as a treatment for infections with Giardia duodenalis in children in Bangladesh
Albendazole, a broad spectrum anthelmintic recently shown to be active in vitro against Giardia duodenalis, was given at 4 different dosages and compared with metronidazole in the treatment of children in Bangladesh infected with&#x... -
Enteric protein loss during shigellosis
To determine whether protein-losing enteropathy occurs during shigellosis, we measured concentrations of alpha 1-antitrypsin in sequential stool samples from 110 adults hospitalized with acute dysentery due to Shigella infection. Mean stool c... -
Levels and differentials in weight, height and body mass index among mothers in a rural area of Bangladesh
This study examined the variation in weight, height and body mass index of 1048 mothers living in a rural area of Bangladesh in relation to age, education, number of previous pregnancies, number of dead children, religion,... -
Diagnosis of pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica infection using a stool ELISA based on monoclonal antibodies to the galactose-specific adhesin
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against pathogen-specific epitopes of the galactose adhesin of Entamoeba histolytica were used in an ELISA to detect antigen from pathogenic E. histolytica. Single stool specimens from 74 patients in... -
Can infants and young children eat enough green leafy vegetables from a single traditional meal to meet their daily vitamin A requirements
o evaluate the feasibility of providing adequate vitamin A precursors to meet the daily need from a meal oftraditionally cooked green leafy vegetables and boiled rice and to understand mothers' perceptions and acceptance of ... -
A one-year survey of rotavirus strains from three locations in Bangladesh
Group A rotavirus strains from 3 locations in Bangladesh collected over one year were examined. Serotypes 1-4 were found throughout in 2 locations, whereas an epidemic of RV diarrhoea due to a single rotavirus strain occur... -
Systemic allergic reaction and diarrhoea after pineapple ingestion
Some foods may initiate allergic reactions. Anaphylaxis due to mangoes, oranges, nuts and other foods has been reported earlier. We report the clinical and laboratory features of 32 patients who became symptomatic shortly after ... -
Characterization of Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal isolated from patients with cholera-like disease in Bangladesh
Vibrio cholerae O139 (synonym Bengal), a novel serovar of V. cholerae, is the causative agent of large outbreaks of cholera-like illness currently sweeping India and Bangladesh. Eight randomly selected V. cholerae O139 isolates were... -
Characterisation of Plesiomonas shigelloides strains that share type-specific antigen with Shigella flexneri 6 and common group 1 antigen with Shigella flexneri spp. and Shigella dysenteriae 1
Three strains of Plesiomonas shigelloides isolated from patients with diarrhoea were agglutinated with Shigella flexneri 6 antiserum in slide and tube tests. All the strains were also agglutinated with a monoclonal antibody to the&#... -
Initiation of food supplements and stopping of breast-feeding as determinants of weanling shigellosis
The association between the period elapsed since weaning and the risk of shigellosis was assessed between 1 November 1987 and 30 November 1989 for a cohort of 1085 Bangladeshi children aged < 3 years. The children ...
