Development and evaluation of a rapid, simple, sensitive, monoclonal antibody-based co-agglutination test for direct detection of Vibrio cholerae 01
Cholera epidemics caused by Vibrio cholerae 01 continue to represent a major public health concern in many developing countries. A rapid and simple test kit for the detection of V. cholerae 01 has been developed. The ... -
Evidence that inactivated oral cholera vaccines both prevent and mitigate Vibrio cholerae O1 infections in a cholera-endemic area
In a randomized, placebo-controlled field trial of B subunit-killed whole cell (BS-WC) and killed whole cell only (WC) inactivated oral cholera vaccines in rural Bangladesh, active surveillance of selected neighborhoods during the first&... -
Crossed immunoelectrophoretic analysis of antigenic composition of B-subunit/whole-cell and whole-cell only killed oral cholera vaccines
Crossed immunoelectrophoresis was used to identify antigens preserved in the whole-cell component of oral cholera vaccines tested in the field trial in Bangladesh. The composition and immunogenicity of the vaccine antigens were compared&... -
Gastric emptying of liquid in children suffering from acute rotaviral gastroenteritis
Nausea and vomiting commonly occur in children suffering from rotaviral diarrhoea. Gastric emptying was studied in 10 children (age six to 12 months) suffering from acute diarrhoea caused by rotavirus using a dye dilution doubl... -
A hazard logit model analysis of covariates of childhood mortality in Matlab, Bangladesh
In a prospective study in Matlab, a rural area in Bangladesh, the relationship between a variety of covariates and childhood mortality was examined. Economic status of household, education of mother, sex of the children, health... -
Seroepidemiologic evaluation of antibodies to rotavirus as correlates of the risk of clinically significant rotavirus diarrhea in rural Bangladesh
A case-control study was conducted among children and adult women in rural Bangladesh to evaluate whether serologic immunity to rotavirus was associated with a lower risk of rotavirus diarrhea of sufficient severity to cause pa... -
Nonparticipation as a determinant of adverse health outcomes in a field trial of oral cholera vaccines
The authors estimated the incidence rates of cholera and death between 1985 and 1988 for 32,642 age- and sex-eligible persons who did not participate in a randomized, placebo-controlled field trial of killed oral cholera vaccin... -
A comparative study of specific gene probes and standard bioassays to identify diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli in paediatric patients with diarrhoea in Bangladesh
We compared the usefulness of gene probes with standard bioassays to identify diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli amongst isolates from Bangladeshi children under 1 year of age with diarrhoea. E. coli isolates were analysed with specifi... -
Differentiation of Shigella flexneri strains by rRNA gene restriction patterns
We studied the restriction endonuclease cleavage patterns of rRNA genes (ribotypes) of 72 clinical isolates of Shigella flexneri representing eight serotypes to determine whether ribotyping could be used to distinguish S. flexneri strain... -
Impact on mortality of a community-based programme to control acute lower respiratory tract infections
Acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRIs) are a major cause of death among young children in developing countries. A targeted programme designed to treat children with ALRI was implemented in 1988 in a primary health... -
Limited impact of a targeted food supplementation programme in Bangladeshi urban slum children
An energy-dense supplementary food, together with nutrition education, was given to a group of moderately malnourished children aged 6-12 months in a poor slum community of urban Bangladesh. An age- and sex-matched control group... -
Incidence of Aeromonas isolated from diarrhoeal children and study of some virulence factors in the isolates
Stool samples from 305 children with diarrhoea and equal number of age and sex matched non-diarrhoeal control children, less than 5 years of age, were examined during the period from Sept 1988 to April 1989. Aeromonas ... -
The risk approach to intervention in severe malnutrition in rural Bangladesh
To determine whether clinical marasmus occurs in small groups of children from easily recognizable high-risk households, the authors conducted a case-control study to identify risk indicators that may be used in targeted interventions.&#... -
Intensity of reinfection with Ascaris lumbricoides and its implications for parasite control
Intestinal helminths are among the most common and widespread of human infections. Because it is typical to find that most worms are aggregated in a few potential hosts it has been suggested that some individuals are ... -
A monoclonal antibody for distinction of invasive and noninvasive clinical isolates of Entamoeba histolytica
Approximately 10% of the world population is infected with Entamoeba histolytica, but only 10% of the carriers develop symptomatic amebiasis. This discrepancy could be explained by the genotypic differences between the morphologically in... -
A new EPI strategy to reach high risk urban children in Bangladesh: urban volunteers
Many community based outreach programs in low income countries utilize illiterate women to provide health services. However, illiteracy may present special problems in immunization or other programs requiring extensive record-keeping and foll...
