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... -
Effect of antibiotics on food intake and absorption of nutrients for children with diarrhea due to Shigella
The effect of antibiotic therapy on intake of food and absorption of nutrients for 19 male children aged 1-5 years with suspected shigella infection was studied. The children were admitted to the hospital with acute diarrh... -
The epidemiologic importance of dysentery in communities
This paper explores the epidemiologic importance of dysentery with use of several community studies that demonstrate its prevalence and incidence as well as its association with pathogens, nutritional status, persistent diarrhea, and dea... -
The relationship between sociodemographic variables and pregnancy loss in a rural area of Bangladesh
This study examines the relationship between eight sociodemographic variables and the risk of pregnancy loss in a rural area of Bangladesh. The risks of spontaneous miscarriage and stillbirth were significantly associated with maternal&#... -
Evidence for recent diarrhoeal morbidity as a risk factor for persistent diarrhoea: a case-control study
The association between persistent diarrhoea and 'recent morbidity' defined as that occurring within the two-month period immediately preceding the onset of persistent diarrhoea was investigated in a population-based case-control study in&...
