Antimicrobial resistance of Shigella isolates in Bangladesh, 1983-1990: increasing frequency of strains multiply resistant to ampicillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and nalidixic acid
The susceptibility to ampicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) was determined for 15,824 isolates of Shigella obtained from patients attending a treatment center in Dhaka, Bangladesh, from 1983 through 1990 and for 520 isolates&... -
Pathogenesis of Providencia alcalifaciens-induced diarrhea
Providencia alcalifaciens is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae. There are reports that P. alcalifaciens can cause diarrhea, but the mechanism(s) by which it causes diarrhea is known. We studied P. alcalifaciens isolated from... -
Rotavirus diarrhea in Bangladeshi children: correlation of disease severity with serotypes
To improve the understanding of the relative importance of serotypes of rotavirus in dehydrating diarrhea, we examined the correlation of clinical characteristics and disease severity with serotype in 2,441 diarrheal episodes among child... -
Enteropathogens associated with acute and persistent diarrhea in Bangladeshi children less than 5 years of age
A longitudinal study of diarrhea was carried out from May 1988 to April 1989 by household surveillance of 705 children less than 5 years old in rural Bangladesh. Stool samples were examined for enteric pathogens at th... -
Diagnosis of bacterial overgrowth after culturing proximal small-bowel aspirate obtained during routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopy
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the method of obtaining aspirated fluid for culture from the small intestine through a fiberoptic gastrointestinal endoscope for diagnosing small-bowel overgrowth. The study population consisted&... -
Prognostic indicators and risk factors for increased duration of acute diarrhoea and for persistent diarrhoea in children

Persistent diarrhea: total gut transit time and its relationship with nutrient absorption and clinical response
The study was undertaken to better understand the role of total gut transit time (TGTT) on the absorption of nutrients in patients with persistent diarrhea. Twenty-six boys aged 3-18 months with persistent diarrhea and 25 ... -
An ELISA for the detection of localized adherent classic enteropathogenic Escherichia coli serogroups
An ELISA for the detection of classic enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) serogroups was developed. It detected EPEC positive for localized adherence (LA) by HeLa cell assay and EPEC positive for EPEC adherence factor (EAF)... -
Prostacyclin concentrations in haemolytic uraemic syndrome after acute shigellosis in children
The role of prostacyclin in the pathogenesis of haemolytic uraemic syndrome was evaluated in 11 children with acute shigellosis. Plasma concentrations of 6-keto prostaglandin, F1 alpha, a stable metabolite of prostacyclin, were measured&... -
Cultivation and characterization of novel human group A rotaviruses with long RNA electropherotypes,subgroup II specificities,and serotype 2 VP7 genes
During an epidemiological study of human rotavirus infections in Bangladesh, three group A strains hybridized with a serotype 2 oligonucleotide probe, but they had long RNA electropherotypes. The three strains were collected from 8-...
