Recurrent haemophilus septicaemia and immunoglobulin deficiency.

Haemophilus influenzae type B septicaemia.

In the period November 1967 to September 1968 Haemophilus influenzae type b was isolated from the blood of 11 young children. Only three of these presented with meningitis; others had septic arthritis, oesteomyelitis, subcutaneous abscesses, cellulitis, respiratory infections, and undifferentiated pyrexia. During the preceding five years H. influenzae type b was isolated from the blood cultures...

Gamma-M deficiency predisposing to meningococcal septicaemia.

Agranulocytosis in a drug addict with recurrent Staphylococcus aureus septicaemia.

Accepted 1 June 1995 A 37-year-old male drug addict was admitted to hospital because of a swollen right lower limb for two weeks. He had been using his groin for injection of heroin. He had been hospitalised three times six months earlier because of left lower limb deep vein thrombosis with or without Staphylococcus aureus septicaemia. He discharged himselfprematurely during the first admission...

Haemophilus somnus immunoglobulin binding proteins and surface fibrils.

The high-molecular-weight (HMW) immunoglobulin binding proteins (IgBPs) of Haemophilus somnus and a 76-kDa surface protein (p76) are found in serum-resistant virulent strains but not in several serum-sensitive strains from asymptomatic carriers. For the first time, p76 was shown to be an IgBP also. This was done by competitive inhibition studies with affinity-purified antidinitrophenol (anti-DN...

Recurrent cervical lymphadenitis caused by Haemophilus aphrophilus.

been reported in the literature and has been termed as a “paradoxical response” [6–8]. Within the first 10 days after starting antituberculous therapy, our patient had significant morbidity due to an unclear mechanism. It is possible that persistent compression of the cerebral cortex by a stable epidural mass was responsible for cerebral venous thrombosis, ischemia, and/or infarction and vasoge...
