Can mothers safely prepare labon-gur salt-sugar solution after demonstration in a diarrhoeal hospital
Home-based salt-sugar solution (SSS) prepared with labon (locally produced sea salt) and gur (unrefined brown sugar) has been recommended as a cheap, locally available and a simple tool to prevent and treat diarrhoeal dehydration.&#... -
Detection of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and Shigella flexneri in feces by immunomagnetic isolation and polymerase chain reaction
A combination of immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure was used for direct isolation and identification of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and Shigella flexneri from feces. Immunomagnetic particles w... -
Contraceptive use in Matlab, Bangladesh in 1990: levels, trends, and explanations
The results of a 1990 knowledge, attitudes, and practice survey in Matlab, Bangladesh, indicate that contraceptive prevalence has risen to 57 percent in the maternal and child health/family planning project area. Between 1984 a... -
Occurrence of resistance to vibriostatic compound 0/129 in Vibrio cholerae 01 isolated from clinical and environmental samples in Bangladesh
Fifty-one Vibrio cholerae 01 strains isolated from 734 natural water and plankton samples and 31 rectal swabs were examined. Of these strains, 32 (62.7%) were found to be resistant to vibriostatic compound 0/129. When anti... -
Seroprevalence of enteric and nonenteric adenoviruses in Bangladesh
Single serum samples obtained from infants between 0 and 24 months of age admitted to a diarrheal disease hospital in Bangladesh were tested for the presence of adenovirus-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgA antibodies by&#... -
Antibodies to shiga holotoxin and to two synthetic peptides of the B subunit in sera of patients with Shigella dysenteriae 1 dysentery
Acute- and convalescent-phase sera from 18 Thai patients and convalescent-phase sera from two Israeli patients and one Bangladeshi patient with Shigella dysenteriae 1 (Shiga) dysentery were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to ... -
Impact of zinc supplementation on intestinal permeability in Bangladeshi children with acute diarrhoea and persistent diarrhoea syndrome
Zinc has been shown to enhance intestinal mucosal repair in patients suffering from acrodermatitis enteropathica; but the impact on mucosal integrity during acute (AD) or persistent (PD) diarrhoea is unknown. One hundred eleven chil... -
Why do some families become defaulters in a hospital based nutrition rehabilitation follow-up programme
Since 1989, a nutrition rehabilitation follow-up (NFU) service is being offered in the Dhaka hospital of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh. Parents bring their children for treatment of diarrhoea and&#x... -
Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), IL-1 receptor antagonist, and TNF alpha production in whole blood
The ability of an individual to mount defense responses to infection depend in part on the capacity to produce cytokines such as interleukin 1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). The specialized equipment, labor intensity,&... -
Decreased food intake in children with severe dysentery due to Shigella dysenteriae 1 infection
Factors that affect food intake in acute shigellosis were studied in 82 children aged 24-59 months. Children were offered an energy-dense milk-cereal-oil-based diet every 2 h. Food intake was compared between children with Shigella&... -
Birth spacing and child mortality in Bangladesh and the Philippines
This analysis uses data from Bangladesh and the Philippines to demonstrate that children who are born within 15 months of a preceding birth are 60 to 80% more likely than other children to die in the first two&#x... -
Non-immunological defence mechanisms of the gut
Non-immunological defence mechanisms represent an important line of intestinal defence in addition to humoral and cellular immunity. This review summarises the evidence for the role of the non-immunological defence system. Protective factors&... -
Occurrence of a large plasmid in a strain of Plesiomonas shigelloides with cross-reactivity against Shigella sonnei
The plasmid profile of P. shigelloides SVC 01, strain with cross-reactivity with Sh. sonnei, (obtained from Dr Alf Lindberg, Stockholm University, Sweden), was assayed and compared with other local isolates of Plesiomonas spp. and&#... -
Prevalence of Plesiomonas shigelloides among diarrhoeal patients in Bangladesh
The incidence of Plesiomonas shigelloides among diarrhoeal patients attending the Dhaka Treatment Centre of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR, B) from January through December 1987, has been reported.... -
Lipopolysaccharide composition and virulence properties of clinical and environmental strains of Vibrio fluvialis and Vibrio mimicus
Vibrio mimicus strains W-26768 (stool isolate) and N-1301 (environmental isolate) and Vibrio fluvialis strains AA-18239 (stool isolate) and M-940 (environmental isolate) were studied for virulence properties and lipopolysaccharide composition. All ... -
Contraceptive use in Matlab, Bangladesh: the role of gender preference
Research in several Asian societies has suggested that sons are generally preferred over daughters. The implications of gender preferences for actual fertility behavior have not been adequately investigated, however. This analysis examines&#x... -
Blood cultures from Bangladeshi children with septicaemia: an evaluation of conventional, lysis-direct plating and lysis-centrifugation methods
The use of a laboratory-made lysis-direct plating and lysis-centrifugation (LDP/LC) device for blood cultivation has been compared with the conventional broth culture method in respect of speed and sensitivity in detecting organism(s)&#x...
