Journal ArticleDOI

Roger I. Glass,Roger I. Glass,Stan Becker,M. Imdadul Huq,Barbara J. Stoll,M. U. Khan,Michael H. Merson,Michael H. Merson,John V. Lee,Robert E. Black,Robert E. Black +10 more
TL;DR: While little progress has been made in understanding the mode of transmission of v. cholerae 01, and in identifying practices for prevention, fluid therapy in this area has decreased the case fatality rate significantly and provides guidance for similar programs elsewhere.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An epidemiologic investigation demonstrated that illness was associated with drinking of chocolate milk purchased in school cafeterias, and Y. enterocolitica 0:8 was subsequently isolated from the milk and suggested that the bacterium was introduced at the dairy during the mixing by hand of chocolate syrup with previously pasteurized milk.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The low case-fatality rates for patients with watery diarrhea and substantial dehydration further document the usefulness of treating patients with diarrhea with either a glucose- or sucrose-base electrolyte solution such as those used in this treatment center.
Journal ArticleDOI
INCIDENCE AND SEVERITY OF ROTAVIRUS AND ESCHERICHIA COLI DIARRHOEA IN RURAL BANGLADESH: Implications for Vaccine Development
TL;DR: The association of ETEC and rotavirus with such a substantial proportion of cases of dehydrating diarrhoea suggests that immunoprophylaxis to reduce the high incidence of deaths from diarrhea in developing countries may be feasible and that vaccine development should concentrate on these two enteropathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypersensitivity reactions associated with botulinal antitoxin
Robert E. Black,Robert A. Gunn +1 more
TL;DR: The over-all reaction, rate was higher than that associated with other equine serum products and probably cannot be substantially reduced, but this risk would be substantially reducing if not eliminated by using botulinal immune globulin obtained from hyperimmunized human donors.
