A total of 874 fecal specimens (446 diarrheal cases and 428 controls) from diarrheal children admitted in the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Kolkata and age and sex matched asymptomatic subjects from an urban community were assessed for the prevalence of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF). Isolates of B. fragilis were tested for the presence of enterotoxin gene (bft) by PCR. The detecti...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the utility of the Luminex xTAG gastrointestinal pathogen panel (GPP) assay in the detection of enteric pathogens from diarrheal stool samples in Kuwait. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Luminex xTAG GPP assay was used according to the manufacturer's instructions to evaluate single diarrheal stool samples from 109 hospitalized patients at Mubarak Al-Kabeer Hospital, Kuwait, fro...
Diarrheal diseases are the most common health problems in developing countries and have an important role in malnutrition of children. Zinc deficiency is usually present in patients with failure to thrive and diarrhea. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a 14-day course of supplemental zinc administration in children with acute watery diarrhea and failure to thrive. ...
Cryptosporidiosis is a debilitating diarrheal disease in young children developing countries. The absence of effective treatments or vaccines makes this infection very difficult to manage susceptible populations.
A number of studies of time to water source (TTWS) and quantity of water used at the household level have found that when round trip TTWS is within 30 minutes, which is equivalent to 1 km each way if the average person walks at 4 km/hour, water use is relatively inelastic. However, for sources greater than 30 minutes or 1 km away, water consumption decreases. 3– 5 The studies included in this r...
BACKGROUND Cryptosporidiosis is a common cause of infectious diarrhea in young children worldwide, and is a significant contributor to under-five mortality. Current treatment options are limited in young children. In this study, we describe the natural history of Cryptosporidium spp. infection in a birth cohort of children in Bangladesh and evaluate for association with malnutrition. METHODOL...
Introduction: Acute diarrheal disease among children younger than 5 years old remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Arba-Minch District diarrheal diseases are the second causes for clinical presentations. The aim of this study was to determine the morbidity and associated factors of diarrheal diseases among under five children in Arba-Minch District. Methods: A communit...
Atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (aEPEC) is considered to be an emerging enteropathogen that is more prevalent than typical EPEC in developing and developed countries. The major adherence factor, intimin, an outer membrane protein encoded by eae, plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of aEPEC. This study investigated the distribution and polymorphisms of intimin subtypes of 143 aEP...
Human astroviruses have been increasingly identified as important agents of diarrheal disease in children. However, the disease burden of astrovirus infection is still incompletely assessed. This paper reports results on the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of astrovirus-associated diarrhea, as well as the impact of astrovirus infection on the ambulatory setting at a Public Hospital...
Diarrheal disease is a complex syndrome that remains a leading cause of global childhood morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis of enteric pathogens in a timely and precise manner is important for making treatment decisions and informing public health policy, but accurate diagnosis is a major challenge in industrializing countries. Multiplex molecular diagnostic techniques may represent a signi...
