Effect of duration of diarrhoea and predictive values of stool leucocytes and red blood cells in the isolation of different serogroups or serotypes of Shigella
Diarrhoeal stools from 11,358 patients were microscopically examined for the presence of white and red blood cells (WBC and RBC) and cultured for enteric pathogens. Of the 3895 patients who had Shigella as sole pathogens, ... -
Culture adaptation and characterization of group A rotaviruses causing diarrheal illnesses in Bangladesh from 1985 to 1986
Group A rotaviruses collected between 1985 and 1986 during comprehensive surveillance of treated diarrheal episodes occurring in a rural Bangladesh population were culture adapted and characterized by electropherotype, serotype, and subgroup. ... -

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&#x... -
Antibody responses after immunization with killed oral cholera vaccines during the 1985 vaccine field trial in Bangladesh
Sera collected during the 1985 oral cholera vaccine trial in Matlab, Bangladesh, which demonstrated efficacy of a whole cell combined with cholera B subunit vaccine (WC/BS) and a whole cell only vaccine (WC), were analyzed... -
Breast feeding and vitamin A deficiency among children attending a diarrhoea treatment centre in Bangladesh: a case-control study
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of breast feeding on the risk of xerophthalmia in children aged 6 months to 3 years attending a diarrhoea treatment centre in Bangladesh. ... -
Simultaneous infection with multiple serotypes of Shigellae in a patient
We isolated three different serotypes of Shigella on admission from a patient with dysentery as well as a Shigella-like organism and Campylobacter jejuni upon follow-up. The pat... -
Contraceptive use and breast-feeding duration in rural Bangladesh
The association between contraceptive use and breast-feeding duration was investigated in 2380 women in rural Bangladesh where women usually stop breast-feeding once pregnant. Life table analysis showed that women receiving regular injections... -
Evaluation of indigenous plants in the treatment of acute shigellosis
The clinical efficacy of three indigenous plants was compared with that of ampicillin and placebo in a randomized double blind clinical trial. Eighty-two men with shigellosis were studied. Sixteen patients received dried unripe frui... -
Rotavirus-associated diarrhea in rural Bangladesh: two-year study of incidence and serotype distribution
Stools were evaluated from 5,811 patient visits for treatment of diarrhea in Matlab, Bangladesh, between June 1987 and May 1989. The stools were analyzed to determine the distrib... -
Study on the pathogenicity of Campylobacter jejuni by modifying the medium
Campylobacter jejuni has been documented as one of the major aetiological agents of diarrhoeal illness all over the world. Studies revealed its pathogenicity by different assay methods, but none could be strongly recommended as ... -
Relative effects of diarrhea, fever, and dietary energy intake on weight gain in rural Bangladeshi children
Quantitative studies of morbidity, food intake, and somatic growth were done prospectively during 14 mo for 70 children aged 5-18 mo in two Bangladeshi villages. When random-effect&#x... -
Field trial of oral cholera vaccines in Bangladesh: serum vibriocidal and antitoxic antibodies as markers of the risk of cholera
The relationship of serum vibriocidal (VC) and IgG anti-cholera toxin (CT) antibodies to the risk of cholera was evaluated during the first year of follow-up of recipients of... -
Localized adherence and attaching-effacing properties of nonenteropathogenic serotypes of Escherichia coli
Traditional enteropathogenic Escherichia coli serotypes demonstrate a plasmid-mediated localized adherence in cultured HeLa or HEp-2 cells and induce an attaching-effacing intestinal lesion, both of... -
Survival of classic cholera in Bangladesh
During the present cholera pandemic the El Tor biotype of Vibrio cholerae has completely displaced the classic biotype, except in Bangladesh. We studied the distribution of these two biotypes in twenty-four rural districts during&#x... -
Surveillance of shigellosis in rural Bangladesh: a 10 years review
Over a period of 10 years 35,620 patients, admitted from a defined surveillance area, had a rectal swab culture done at a rural diarrhoea treatment centre in Bangladesh. Shigella spp. were isolated from 3,440 (9.7%) cases.... -
Current practices for treatment of dysentery in rural Bangladesh
