Journal ArticleDOI
Single-Dose Azithromycin for the Treatment of Cholera in Adults
Debasish Saha,Mohammad Mahbubul Karim,Wasif A. Khan,Sabeena Ahmed,Mohammed Abdus Salam,Michael L. Bennish +5 more
TL;DR: Single-dose azithromycin was effective in the treatment of severe cholera in adults and the lack of efficacy of ciprofloxacin may result from its diminished activity against V. cholerae O1 strains currently circulating in Bangladesh.
Journal ArticleDOI
The incidence, aetiology, and adverse clinical consequences of less severe diarrhoeal episodes among infants and children residing in low-income and middle-income countries: a 12-month case-control study as a follow-on to the Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS)

Tennant,Jaco J. Verweij,Halvor Sommerfelt,Halvor Sommerfelt,James P. Nataro,Roy M. Robins-Browne,Roy M. Robins-Browne,Myron M. Levine +36 more
TL;DR: Weighted adjusted population attributable fractions showed that most attributable cases of MSD and LSD were due to rotavirus, Cryptosporidium spp, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli encoding heat-stable toxin, and Shigella spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incomplete Correlation of Serum Vibriocidal Antibody Titer with Protection from Vibrio cholerae Infection in Urban Bangladesh
Debasish Saha,Regina C. LaRocque,Ashraful Islam Khan,Jason B. Harris,Yasmin Ara Begum,S M Akramuzzaman,Abu Syed Golam Faruque,Edward T. Ryan,Firdausi Qadri,Stephen B. Calderwood +9 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that the vibriocidal antibody is an incomplete predictor of protection from V. cholerae infection, and that infection still developed in some contacts with very high titers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health care seeking for childhood diarrhea in developing countries: evidence from seven sites in Africa and Asia.
Dilruba Nasrin,Yukun Wu,William C. Blackwelder,Tamer H. Farag,Debasish Saha,Samba O. Sow,Pedro L. Alonso,Robert F. Breiman,Dipika Sur,Abu Syed Golam Faruque,Anita K. M. Zaidi,Kousick Biswas,Anna Maria van Eijk,Damian G. Walker,Myron M. Levine,Karen L. Kotloff +15 more
TL;DR: Serial HUASs among caretakers of children ages 0–59 months randomly selected from demographically defined populations participating in the GEMS, a case-control study of moderate-to-severe diarrhea in seven developing countries, show the utility of serial H UASs as a tool for optimizing operational and methodological issues related to the performance of a large case- control study and deriving population-based incidence rates of MSD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of multidrug-resistant strain of Vibrio cholerae O1 in Bangladesh and reversal of their susceptibility to tetracycline after two years.
Abu Syed Golam Faruque,Khorshed Alam,Mohammad Abdul Malek,Mohammed G.Y. Khan,Sabeena Ahmed,Debasish Saha,Wasif A. Khan,Gopinath Balakrish Nair,Mohammed Abdus Salam,Stephen P. Luby,David A. Sack +10 more
TL;DR: The multidrug-resistant strains of V. cholerae O1 isolated from cholera cases admitted to the Dhaka Hospital and Matlab Hospital respectively were examined for susceptibility to tetracycline, erythromycin, trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole, furazolidone, and ciprofloxacin.
