Rapid immunofluorescence microscopy for diagnosis of melioidosis.
An immunofluorescent (IF) method that detects Burkholderia pseudomallei in clinical specimens within 10 min was devised. The results of this rapid method and those of an existing IF method were prospectively compared with the culture results for 776 specimens from patients with suspected melioidosis. The sensitivities of both IF tests were 66%, and the specificities were 99.5 and 99.4%, respect...

متن کاملImmunofluorescence microscopy for the rapid diagnosis of melioidosis.
A direct immunofluorescent antibody test (DIF) was developed for the rapid diagnosis of melioidosis, a potentially fatal infection caused by Pseudomonas pseudomallei. In a clinical evaluation of 369 sputum, pus, or urine specimens from 272 patients with suspected melioidosis, the DIF had a sensitivity of 73% and a specificity of 99% compared with culture. Using this DIF, a confident diagnosis o...
متن کاملCampylobacter jejuni enteritis.
We report the development of Campylobacter jejuni enteritis in a patient with preexisting humoral and cellular immune recognition of C. jejuni antigens. This is one of few studies in which the immunologic status of a person with regard to C. jejuni before and after C. jejuni infection is directly compared, and it is the only study of which we are aware that includes measurements of cellular imm...
متن کاملDark-field microscopy of human feces for presumptive diagnosis of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni enteritis.
To determine the value of direct dark-field microscopy for diagnosing enteritis due to Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni, we examined 1,377 human fecal specimens for bacteria with typical Campylobacter darting motility, leukocytes, and erythrocytes. Eighty-four specimens (6.1%) grew C.fetus subsp. jejuni. Of the 48 specimens showing Campylobacter motility, 30 (62%) grew C. fetus subsp. jejuni. ...
