| [a boy with cholera from india]. | a 7-year-old indian boy travelling from india to the united kingdom was brought to the emergency clinic of airport medical services at schiphol airport in amsterdam, the netherlands. he had had watery diarrhoea in the aircraft and had lost consciousness. in view of the strong indications for cholera and the rice water-like diarrhoea, he was admitted to the paediatric ward of the vu medical centre where intravenous rehydration was carried out. he recovered within three days. a large number of com ... | 2006 | 16471238 |
| changing profile of vibrio cholerae o1, o139 in delhi & its periphery (2003-2005). | cholera caused by either vibrio cholerae o1 or o139 is endemic in delhi and its peripheral areas. the present study was carried out to understand the changing epidemiology of v. cholerae in terms of prevalence of serotypes, antibiogram pattern and phage types. | 2007 | 17642498 |
| diarrhoeal outbreak of vibrio cholerae 01 inaba in delhi. | v. cholerae o1 eltor serotype ogawa has been causing most of the cholera outbreaks in india till recently. however this communication reports the occurrence of vibrio cholerae o1 inaba in delhi in 2005, as a predominant causative organism of cholera in children. all strains isolated were sensitive to gentamicin and a high level of resistance towards nalidixic acid and amoxicillin was seen. there was no case fatality. | 2008 | 18453505 |
| trend of antibiotic resistance of vibrio cholerae strains from east delhi. | epidemics of cholera caused by toxigenic vibrio cholerae o1 and o139 (bengal strain) represent a major public health problem in most developing countries. in view of the reported shift in epidemiology and pattern of antibiotic resistance in this was study carried out to assess the development of resistance to essential drugs like fluoroquinolones during treatment of cholera and cholera like cases in delhi. | 2008 | 18653912 |
| molecular characterization of vibrio cholerae isolates from cholera outbreaks in north india. | vibrio cholerae isolates recovered from cholera outbreaks in bhind district of madhya pradesh and delhi, northern india were characterized. the o1 serogroup isolates from bhind outbreak were of inaba serotype whereas both ogawa and inaba serotypes were recovered from delhi. pcr analysis revealed that only o1 serogroup v. cholerae isolates carried the virulence-associated genes like ctxa, tcpa, ace, and zot. molecular typing by repetitive sequence based eric, vcr1, and vc1 pcr's revealed similar ... | 2009 | 19229498 |
| emergence of multiple drug resistance vibrio cholerae o1 in east delhi. | considering the changing geographical and temporal occurrence of vibrio cholerae, there is a continuing need to monitor the strain characteristics and antibiotic resistance patterns of this pathogen. the present study was conducted to document the changing biology of v. cholerae isolates in and around delhi, india, and the development of antibiotic resistance. | 2011 | 21537071 |
