Abstract We confirmed a bacteremic typhoid fever incidence of 3.9 episodes/1,000 person-years during surveillance in Dhaka urban slum. The relative risk for preschool children compared with older persons was 8.9. Our regression model showed that these were clinically ill, which suggests role immunization.
SUMMARY In February 2007 an outbreak of Nipah virus (NiV) encephalitis in Thakurgaon District northwest Bangladesh affected seven people, three whom died. All subsequent cases developed illness 7–14 days after close physical contact with the index case while he was ill. Cases were more likely than controls to have been same room (100% vs . 9·5%, OR undefined, P <0·001) and touched him (83% 0%, <0·001). Although source infection for not identified, 50% Pteropus bats sampled from near...
Pneumonia is the leading cause of child mortality worldwide. The role influenza in childhood pneumonia tropical developing countries poorly understood. We undertook population-based surveillance among low-income urban preschool children to determine its pneumonia.Longitudinal prospective active was conducted randomly selected households a poor area Dhaka. Nasopharyngeal washes were collected from 1 5 for culture isolation. Clinical data at clinical presentation and through illness...
Dengue fever is a significant global health concern, especially in tropical regions, including Bangladesh, which reported 316,773 cases and 1652 deaths 2023. This study intends to explore the circulating serotypes of dengue virus (DENV) their clinical associations across Bangladesh. The enrolled 1317 febrile patients presenting with at least two symptoms (nausea or vomiting, rash, aches pains, positive tourniquet test, leukopenia) Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) between July August...
Chest radiographs (CXRs) are a valuable diagnostic tool in epidemiologic studies of pneumonia. The World Health Organization (WHO) methodology for the interpretation pediatric CXRs has not been evaluated beyond its intended application as an endpoint measure bacterial vaccine trials.The Pneumonia Etiology Research Child (PERCH) study enrolled children aged 1-59 months hospitalized with WHO-defined severe and very pneumonia from 7 low- middle-income countries. An process categorized each CXR...
Chest radiographs (CXRs) are frequently used to assess pneumonia cases. Variations in CXR appearances between epidemiological settings and their correlation with clinical signs not well documented.The Pneumonia Etiology Research for Child Health project enrolled 4232 cases of hospitalized World Organization (WHO)-defined severe very from 9 sites 7 countries (Bangladesh, the Gambia, Kenya, Mali, South Africa, Thailand, Zambia). At admission, each case underwent a standardized assessment risk...
We undertook active population-based surveillance in 5,000 urban households among children < 5 years old to determine invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) incidence, serotype distribution, clinical presentation, and antimicrobial resistance, which have not been previously described studies from the region. IPD was documented by blood culture isolation. From 01 April 2004 31 March 2006, 5,903 cultures were collected 6,167 eligible children. Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated 34 patients;...
The rates of influenza illness and associated complications are high among children in Bangladesh. We assessed the clinical efficacy safety a Russian-backbone live attenuated vaccine (LAIV) at two field sites Bangladesh.Between Feb 27 April 9, 2013, aged 2-4 years urban Kamalapur rural Matlab, Bangladesh, were randomly assigned 2:1 ratio, according to computer-generated schedule, receive one intranasal dose LAIV or placebo. After vaccination, we monitored weekly home visits until Dec 31,...
Conventional building materials like fired clay brick (FCB) and concrete blocks are expensive and, in some cases, have detrimental effect on environment. Compressed stabilized earth block (CSEB) can be an effective alternative that easily prepared from locally available clays with little addition of stabilizers. This study is carried out to assess the performance CSEBs highly fine-grained soils as a suitable construction material. As such, both unstabilized were tested comparative assessment...
Fine-particulate-matter (i.e. with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤2.5 µm, PM2.5) air pollution is commonly treated as if it had 'equivalent toxicity', irrespective the source and composition. We investigate respective roles fossil-fuel- biomass-combustion particles in PM2.5 relationship cardiovascular morbidity mortality using tracers sources Dhaka, Bangladesh. Results provide insight into often observed levelling exposure-response curve at high-pollution levels.A time-series regression model,...
Dengue infection recently. An alarming surge in dengue among Bangladeshi children has created an enormous burden morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to document the profile, outcome associated factors of clinical outcomes patients admitted PICU a tertiary-level hospital Chattogram, Bangladesh, during 2022 outbreak. Materials methods: prospective observational was performed with who were Chittagong Medical College Hospital from 1st August 31st December 2022. Clinical features,...
Skin diseases can arise from infections, allergies, genetic factors, autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, or environmental triggers such as sun damage and pollution. Some skin diseases, Actinic Keratosis Psoriasis, be fatal if not treated in time. Early identification is crucial, but the diagnostic methods for these conditions are often expensive widely accessible. In this study, we propose a novel efficient method diagnosing using deep learning techniques. This approach employs...
Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the mainstay of treatment for many disease conditions. The first allogeneic HSCT was done by E. Donnall Thomas which reported in New England Journal Medicine September 1957. In that study six patients Acute Leukemia were treated with radiation and chemotherapy followed intravenous infusion marrow from a normal donor where only two engrafted but all died within 100 days transplantation. 1979 applied earlier course acute leukemia...
Ageing associated with multiple comorbidities tends to expose elderly population the risk of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs), which may turn into an important contributing factor for negative health impacts, e.g., adverse drug reactions, hospitalization, increased morbidity and mortality. A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted assess prevalence (PIMs) as prescribed geriatric patients in out-patient department (OPD) Dhaka Medical College Hospital, is a tertiary...
Background: Sedation is essential for critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Dexmedetomidine and Propofol are commonly used sedative agents with distinct pharmacological profiles. This study aimed to compare effectiveness safety of versus sedation ICU patients. Methods: prospective randomized comparative was conducted Department Anaesthesiology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, over 12 months (June...
Background: Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity comprises 90% to 95% malignancies worldwide. In Bangladesh, it has also a high incidence rate. Early diagnosis squamous can save many lives. by serum tumor marker is very important for proper management disease. Objective: This study was conducted find out co-relationship between carcinoembryonic antigen and carcinoma. Methods: A cross-sectional 30 patients were histopathologically diagnosed carcinoma, admitted in Oral Maxillofacial...
Given the rapid growth of pharmaceutical industry and increasing use medication, ecopharmacovigilance (EPV) has become an effective approach for managing reducing environmental impact pharmaceuticals. EPV addresses explains undesired effects use. This study aimed to evaluate knowledge, perceptions, practices related disposal unused expired medications among undergraduate medical students in Bangladesh. A questionnaire-based cross-sectional was conducted over a period 3 months, from August...
Abstract We identified avian influenza virus A (H5N1) infection in a child Bangladesh 2008 by routine surveillance. The was of the same clade and phylogenetic subgroup as that circulating among poultry during period. This case illustrates value surveillance for detection novel virus.
