1/3. Combined coliform and anaerobic infection of the lacrimal sac.A case is reported of combined coliform and anaerobic bacterial infection of the lacrimal sac, a condition of which there is only one other published case report. In addition, a literature review is presented of the bacteriology of acute dacryocystitis as it applies to this case. Recommendations for the microbiological investigation and management of acute dacryocystitis are made.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = bacterial infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Anti-M in children with acute bacterial infections.Four children, 7 to 24 months old, were found to have anti-M at the time of admission to the hospital for severe acute bacterial infections. All were M-N . Two patients had meningitis, one had septic arthritis, and the fourth had a third-degree burn of the left hand. In follow-up studies the anti-M of patients No3 and No4 were no longer detectable after 12 and 11 months respectively. In all patients no demonstrable antibody was in either maternal or cord sera at time of birth. The clinical data and bacterial isolations lead us to postulate that bacterial infections account for the formation of naturally occurring anti-M in M-negative persons.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = bacterial infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Results of bacteriophage treatment of suppurative bacterial infections. III. Detailed evaluation of the results obtained in further 150 cases.The results of phage therapy applied in further 150 cases of suppurative bacterial infections were analyzed. Positive therapeutic results were obtained in 137 cases (91.3%). The results obtained confirmed the previous findings on great effectiveness of bacteriophages in the treatment of septic infections, spontaneous or postoperative, caused by pyo genic Staphylococci, klebsiella, escherichia, proteus and pseudomonas.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = bacterial infection (Clic here for more details about this article) |
