Rapid diagnosis of septic arthritis by coagglutination.
Pneumococcal capsular antigens were detected and serotyped by coagglutination in joint fluids and serum of a patient with septic arthritis within 1 h of obtaining the specimens. Pneumococcal antigens continued to be detected by coagglutination for 3 days, whereas cultures and Gram stains were negative after 1 day of antibiotic therapy.

These results support and extend the observations of Gharavi et al.' They provide further evidence that antidsDNA and anticardiolipin antibodies are to some extent discrete populations in the patients with principally IgGl and IgG3 anticardiolipin binding-that is, the principal subclasses of IgG anti-dsDNA, showed no DNA binding. These results also emphasise the heterogeneity of anticardiolipin...
متن کاملDiagnosis of lyme borreliosis.
A large amount of knowledge has been acquired since the original descriptions of Lyme borreliosis (LB) and of its causative agent, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto. The complexity of the organism and the variations in the clinical manifestations of LB caused by the different B. burgdorferi sensu lato species were not then anticipated. Considerable improvement has been achieved in detection of...
متن کاملDecision Support for Diagnosis of Lyme Disease
This paper describes the development of a Bayesian model for diagnosis of patients suspected of Lyme disease, and the integration of such a model into a medical information system. A Bayesian network incorporating the clinical history and laboratory results has been constructed. Because many of the symptoms are not exclusive to Lyme disease and they develop over time, the clinical history is im...
متن کاملSingle-tier testing with the C6 peptide ELISA kit compared with two-tier testing for Lyme disease.
For the diagnosis of Lyme disease, the 2-tier serologic testing protocol for Lyme disease has a number of shortcomings including low sensitivity in early disease; increased cost, time, and labor; and subjectivity in the interpretation of immunoblots. In this study, the diagnostic accuracy of a single-tier commercial C6 ELISA kit was compared with 2-tier testing. The results showed that the C6 E...
