Experimental infection of pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) with Campylobacter cinaedi and Campylobacter fennelliae.
Campylobacter cinaedi and C. fennelliae have been associated with proctocolitis, bacteremia, and asymptomatic rectal infection, primarily in homosexual men. To more directly assess the pathogenic role of these organisms, we studied their disease-producing potential in 12- to 25-day-old pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina). Four infant monkeys were challenged with 10(8) to 10(9) C. cinaedi, t...
متن کاملThe ontogenesis of hemoglobins in Macaca nemestrina.
Macaca nemestrina have two fetal hemoglobins which differ in the structures of their .y chains. Thus animals of this species, like man, appear to possess duplicate y-chain loci. In this study, the ontogenesis of hemoglobins in M. nemestrina was followed in animals ranging in age from the 60th day of gestation to adulthood. Fetuses in the 60th day of gestation had the two fetal hemoglobins and a...
متن کاملSerological response to Campylobacter jejuni/coli infection.
The antibody response to Campylobacter jejuni/coli infection was investigated in 59 patients involved in two outbreaks of milk-borne infection and in sporadic infections in the community. Agglutinins and complement-fixing (CF) antibodies were detected in nearly all these patients. Agglutinins were present in 25% of normal sera at low titres (not greater than 1/160) but CF antibody titres of 1/4...
متن کاملCampylobacter jejuni infection and Guillain-Barré syndrome.
BACKGROUND Although infection with Campylobacter jejuni is recognized as a common antecedent of the Guillain-Barré syndrome, the clinical and epidemiologic features of this association are not well understood. METHODS We performed a prospective case-control study in a cohort of patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (96 patients) or Miller Fisher syndrome (7 patients) who were admitted to hosp...
متن کاملGuillain--Barré syndrome and Campylobacter jejuni infection.
1. SUMMARY Guillain±Barre  syndrome (GBS) is the most common cause of acute neuromuscular paralysis, usually due to acute in¯ammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. The presence of activated T lymphocytes and antibodies against peripheral nerve myelin suggests an autoimmune patho-genesis, although there is wide heterogeneity. Gangliosides are sialylated glycolipids widely distributed in...
