We performed a prospective study to examine whether the IgA antibodies against cholera that are present in breast milk protect breast-fed infants and children colonization with Vibrio cholerae 01 disease. Among families of patients cholera, we collected from mothers who had not diarrhea previous week monitored them their for 10 days. Breast was assayed toxin lipopolysaccharide. Ninety-three mother--child pairs were studied; 30 became colonized V. disease developed 19. There no differences...
At the Matlab Hospital of international Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, authors examined blood groups patients hospitalized between January and September 1979 diarrheal disease due to a variety bacterial viral agents. A significant association was identified only cholera, in which cholera were twice as likely have group O one-ninth AB community controls. follow-up study family contacts patients, carried out 1980 July 1982, indicated that did not affect an individual's...

We assessed the protective efficacy (PE) of three doses B subunit-killed whole cell (BS-WC) and killed cell-only (WC) oral cholera vaccines in a randomized, double-blind trial among 62 285 children women residing rural Bangladesh. After one complete year surveillance, 110 cases were detected placebo group, 52 we group (PE, 53%; P < .0001), 41 BS-We 62%; .0001). Protection was greater for BS-WC recipients than only during initial eight months observation. Both conferred equivalent protection...

The relationship of serum vibriocidal (VC) and IgG anti-cholera toxin(CT)antibodies to the risk cholera was evaluated during first year follow-up recipients three oral doses B subunit (BS)-whole-cell vaccine, whole-cell or Escherichia coli K12 strain placebo in Bangladesh. Acute sera from 121 patients were comparedwith 2592 contemporaneous community controls. Each doubling VC titer associated, on average, with a 22%–47% reductionof groups. In contrast, two groups that did not receive BS,...
Colistin is a last-resort antimicrobial for treating multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Phenotypic colistin resistance highly associated with plasmid-mediated mobile (mcr) genes. mcr-bearing Enterobacteriaceae have been detected in many countries, the emergence of colistin-resistant pathogens global concern. This study assessed distribution mcr-1, mcr-2, mcr-3, mcr-4, and mcr-5 genes phenotypic isolates from diarrheal infants children Bangladesh. Bacteria were identified using...
Background: The incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is increasing worldwide. aims this study were to describe epidemiological data, risk factors, clinicopathological characteristics RCC.

In 1979, an outbreak of plasmid-borne, multiply drug-resistant Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 biotype El Tor (V. O1) occurred in the Matlab area Bangladesh. The could have resulted from introduction into a single resistant strain or multiple conjugations drug-sensitive V. with C plasmids other environmental flora. Resistant strains were phage typed to determine their relatedness, and plasmid studies conducted frequency nonvibrio flora family contacts cholera patients. Forty-one (85%) 48...

To assess the association between breast-feeding and risk of microbiologically confirmed or clinically presumptive shigellosis, authors performed a case-control analysis Bangladeshi children younger than 3 years age who were followed up for 1 month after exposure to Shigella in their residential neighborhoods. Two hundred sixty-nine cases with culture-confirmed shigellosis (n = 119) (culture-negative dysentery, n 150) compared 819 controls without diarrhea other invasive diarrheal illnesses....
Sera collected during the 1985 oral cholera vaccinetrial in Matlab, Bangladesh, which demonstrated efficacyof a whole cell combined with B subunit vaccine (WC/BS) and only (WC), were analyzed for antitoxin vibriocidal antibodies. Before vaccines given, titers highest children, especially those 0 blood group, whereas rose throughout life.Two weeks after three doses of vaccine, geometric mean 2.5–4.5 times higher vaccinees who received WelBS vaccine; 1.3–2.1 vaccineeswho receivedeither...
Introduction Burns are most prevalent in low- and middle-income countries but the risk factors for burn contractures these settings poorly understood. There is some evidence from country studies to suggest that non-medical such as socio-economic health system issues may be as, or possibly more, important than biomedical development of post-burn contractures. Methods Four cases presented illustrate impact non-biomedical on contracture outcomes a low-income setting. The were drawn participants...
In a randomized, placebo-controlled field trial of B subunit-killed whole cell (BS-WC) and killed only (WC) inactivated oral cholera vaccines in rural Bangladesh, active surveillance selected neighborhoods during the first year after vaccination identified 127 Vibrio cholerae O1 infections among 3285 three-dose recipients. For each vaccine, protective efficacy was greater against symptomatic (57%, P < .05 for BS-WC; 58%, WC) than asymptomatic (46%, 32%, = .09 WC), protection grade infection...
