| campylobacter jejuni as a cause of acute diarrhoea in children: a study at an urban hospital in bangladesh. | the importance of c. jejuni as an aetiological agent of childhood diarrhoea was investigated at an urban children's hospital in dhaka over a period of 1 year. c. jejuni was isolated from 25.5% of 102 diarrhoeal patients compared to 8.6% of 93 age and sex-matched healthy control children studied (p less than 0.002). the organism was isolated as a single pathogen in 17.6% of diarrhoeal patients. no c. coli was detected. the infection rate was significantly higher (p less than 0.05) amongst childre ... | 1991 | 1995935 |
| parasitic, bacterial and viral pathogens isolated from diarrhoeal and routine stool specimens of urban bangladeshi children. | few data exist in bangladesh on longitudinal, community-based studies of bacterial or parasitic pathogens identified in routine and diarrhoeal stools of urban dwelling children. we undertook the following study on 343 children of age less than 6 years who resided in one of 51 slum settings in dhaka, bangladesh, between october 1984 and february 1986. specimens from diarrhoeal episodes and from routine stools obtained at 3-monthly intervals were examined for parasites, rotavirus and pathogenic ba ... | 1989 | 2537431 |
| serotypes of campylobacter jejuni isolated from patients attending a diarrhoeal disease hospital in urban bangladesh. | the serotypes of strains of campylobacter jejuni isolated from patients attending the international center for diarrhoeal disease research, bangladesh (icddr, b), dhaka, and from animals were ascertained by penner and hennessy's (1980) serotyping scheme. of 102 isolates from man, 74% were typable and serotypes 53, 15 and 22 predominated. of 26 isolates from animals, 65% were typable and serotypes 15 and 53 occurred frequently. the diarrhoeal illnesses associated with different serotypes were sim ... | 1987 | 3694663 |
| surveillance of patients attending a diarrhoeal disease hospital in bangladesh. | in october 1979 a surveillance system was set up at the international centre for diarrhoeal disease research, bangladesh, hospital at dacca to study a 4% systematic sample of the 100 000 patients with diarrhoea who come to the hospital for care each year. from december 1979 to november 1980 inclusive, 3550 patients were studied. a recognised pathogenic organism was identified for 66% of patients screened for all pathogens, one-third of whom had a mixed infection with two or more agents. enteroto ... | 1982 | 6812801 |
| isolation of campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni from bangladeshi children. | to determine the prevalence of infection with campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni in bangladesh, culture surveys were conducted among three populations. in dacca, campylobacter was isolated from 5.2% of 97 individuals with clinical dysentery and from 12.3% of 204 patients with only diarrhea. this difference may have resulted from a greater representation of young children in the second group. campylobacter was isolated from 17.7% of the 141 healthy village children aged 1 to 5.5 years and from 38. ... | 1980 | 7309841 |
| antigen profile of helicobacter pylori strains isolated from peptic ulcer patients in dhaka, bangladesh. | the whole-cell-extract and the acid-extract preparations of helicobacter pylori strains isolated from peptic ulcer patients and the nctc 11638 control strain were studied to compare their antigen profiles. besides, the anti-h. pylori-antibody profile in serum from h. pylori-infected peptic ulcer patients were also studied to define the antigen stimulating specific anti-h. pylori-antibody response in the infected patients. the whole-cell extract (wce) and the acid-extract (ae) preparations showed ... | 1993 | 8031286 |
| case-control study of enteropathogens associated with childhood diarrhea in dhaka, bangladesh. | the international centre for diarrhoeal disease research, bangladesh, is a major center for research into diarrheal diseases. the center treats more than 100,000 patients a year. to obtain useful information representative of all patients, a surveillance system in which a 4% systematic sample of all patients is studied in detail, including etiological agents of diarrhea, was installed in october 1979. the first paper on etiology for the surveillance patients was published in 1982, which identifi ... | 1999 | 10523534 |
| epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of acute diarrhea with emphasis on entamoeba histolytica infections in preschool children in an urban slum of dhaka, bangladesh. | the epidemiology, clinical features, nutritional status, and causative agents of diarrhea were studied in 289 bangladeshi children (147 boys and 142 girls) 2-5 years old. the use of improved diagnostic tests for amebiasis enabled for the first time analysis of the contribution of entamoeba histolytica to total diarrheal illness in this community setting. the average incidence rate of diarrhea was 1.8/child-year, and the average number of diarrheal days was 3.7 days/child-year over an average obs ... | 2003 | 14640500 |
| diarrhoea in elderly people: aetiology, and clinical characteristics. | we examined the characteristics of elderly people attending the dhaka hospital of icddr,b. the hospital has a diarrhoeal disease surveillance system that enrols a 2% systematic sample of all patients visiting the hospital. we reviewed data of all patients enrolled into the surveillance system (n = 13,782) over the period 1996-2001 to identify patients aged 60 y and above for inclusion into the current study (4% of all surveillance patients; n = 478). v. cholerae o1 was the most common enteric pa ... | 2004 | 15119366 |
| axonal variant of guillain-barre syndrome associated with campylobacter infection in bangladesh. | campylobacter jejuni enteritis is the predominant bacterial infection preceding guillain-barré syndrome (gbs), an acute postinfectious immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy. the purpose of this study was to define the clinical phenotype of gbs and the relation with preceding c jejuni infections in bangladesh. | 2010 | 20157160 |
| bacterial aetiology of diarrhoeal diseases and antimicrobial resistance in dhaka, bangladesh, 2005-2008. | summaryinfectious diarrhoea caused by bacterial pathogens contributes to the high level of mortality in developing countries like bangladesh. following standard bacteriological procedures, a total of 14 428 bacterial pathogens were isolated from 56 132 stool samples and rectal swabs collected from diarrhoeal patients between 2005 and 2008. the rate of isolation and antimicrobial susceptibility data were retrospectively analysed for these isolates and among them vibrio spp. (42·9%) were the most ... | 2011 | 22040529 |
