Measles among under-9-month-olds in rural Bangladesh: its significance for age at immunization
Any decision to modify measles immunization strategies away from the use of the conventional vaccine given to children at 9 months of age to the adoption of recently proposed vaccine strains that can be given to 4-6-m... -
Rotavirus infection in calves in Bangladesh
Faecal samples from 434 calves under 1 year of age (307 diarrhoeal and 127 normal) were collected from three dairy farms and one village in selected areas of Bangladesh. The samples were tested by an enzyme-linked imm... -
Hafnia alvei, a probable cause of diarrhea in humans
Hafnia alvei, a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae, was the only species of bacteria cultured from the stool of a 9-month-old child who was admitted with a 3-day history of watery diarrhea. The isolated strain of ... -
Unusual association of a plasmid with nalidixic acid resistance in an epidemic strain of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 from Asia
The association of a 20-MDa plasmid with nalidixic acid resistant (Nalr) strains of Shigella dysenteriae 1 has been examined. The plasmid, which is readily transferable, does not itself code for nalidixic acid resistance but of... -
Mortality due to shigellosis: community and hospital data
Almost all fatal cases of shigellosis occur in developing countries, and data on mortality are generally compiled from three sources: investigations of epidemics caused by Shigella dysenteriae type 1, surveillance of endemic diarrheal&#x... -
Short-chain glucose polymer and anthracene-9-carboxylic acid inhibit water and electrolyte secretion induced by dibutyryl cyclic AMP in the small intestine
Glucose-stimulated sodium absorption is the rationale for treatment with glucose-based oral rehydration solution in diarrhea. Concurrent treatment with pharmacological inhibitors, which specifically block chloride secretion, may be a useful adjunct... -
Rice-ORS shortens the duration of watery diarrhoeas. Observation from rural Bangladesh
In rural Bangladesh, standard glucose based oral rehydration salt (glucose-ORS) and rice based oral rehydration salt (rice-ORS) were compared as domiciliary treatment for watery diarrhoea. Using identical supply systems, packaged glucose-ORS ... -
Potentially lethal complications of shigellosis
Complications that can lead to death during shigellosis include intestinal as well as systemic manifestations. The former include intestinal perforation, toxic megacolon, and dehydration, and the latter include sepsis, hyponatremia, hypoglycemia,&... -
Reactivities of serotyping monoclonal antibodies with culture-adapted human rotaviruses
Rotaviruses collected in Bangladesh during 1985 to 1986 were culture adapted and used in a comparative serotyping study with three groups of monoclonal antibodies, all of which reacted with the major neutralization protein (VP7)... -
ABO blood groups and the risk of diarrhea due to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
To determine whether blood group O persons are at higher risk for enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) diarrhea, a case-control study was done for 17 months among rural Bangladeshis who were under systematic surveillance for ... -
Biotype as determinant of natural immunising effect of cholera
To test the hypothesis that clinical Vibrio cholerae O1 infections protect against recurrent cholera, treated cholera episodes in a rural Bangladesh population of 188,153 people who were followed between 1985 and 1988 were analysed.... -
Contact-haemolysin production by entero-invasive Escherichia coli and shigellae
Entero-invasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) and shigellae were tested for contact-haemolysin (CH) with red blood cells (RBCs) of guinea-pig, rabbit, rat, mouse, monkey, man, sheep and chicken; all bacteria showed the best lysis with gui... -
Formation and selection of intergenogroup reassortants during cell culture adaptation of rotaviruses from dually infected subjects
A previous study showed that intergenogroup reassortants of human rotaviruses can persist in nature (R.L. Ward, O. Nakagomi, D.R. Knowlton, M.M. McNeal, T. Nakagomi, J.D. Clemens, D.A. Sack, and G.M. Schiff, J. Virol. 64:3219-3225,&... -
Gene transfer in enteric bacteria through the formation of R-prime plasmids by an RP4: :mini-Mu element
Gene transfer in seven pathogenic enteric bacteria was studied using an RP4: :mini-Mu element, the plasmid pULB113. From the E. coli K-12 host strain the plasmid could be efficiently transferred to these enteric bacteria, but&#... -
Complications and outcome of disease in patients admitted to the intensive care unit of a diarrhoeal diseases hospital in Bangladesh
A retrospective analysis of the medical records of 1970 patients admitted to the intensive care unit of the Clinical Research Centre in Dhaka, Bangladesh was made, to identify various complications and outcome. All patients wer...
