Intestinal Putrefaction (Auto-Infection).

Inflammation , Suppuration , Putrefaction , Fermentation :

This paper focuses on Lister’s inaugural lecture at King’s College, London, in October 1877. As the new Professor of Clinical Surgery, Lister had much to report, including impressively high survival rates from complex operations previously regarded as foolhardy. Instead, he chose to address the processes of fermentation in wine, blood and milk. His reasons are not obvious to a modern audience, ...

Intestinal Pathogenic Bacterial Infection

Chronic intestinal nematode infection exacerbates experimental Schistosoma mansoni infection.

Mixed-parasite infections are common in many parts of the world, but little is known of the effects of concomitant parasite infections on the immune response or on disease progression. We have investigated the in vivo effects of a chronic gastrointestinal nematode infection on the infectivity and development of the immune response against the common trematode helminth Schistosoma mansoni. The d...
