Serologic Studies in Histoplasmosis

Studies with Ambruticin in Murine Histoplasmosis

Ambruticin (W7783) was evaluated in vivo in mice subacutely or nonlethally infected with Histoplasma capsulatum. Results were compared with those obtained with amphotericin B, the drug of choice in human histoplasmosis. In one experiment, ambruticin was shown to be capable of curing infected animals as evidenced by totally negative liver and spleen cultures obtained when mice were sacrificed af...

Quantitative Serologic anti Isotopic Studies

S ALINE AGGLUTINATION REACTIONS of variable strength among Rh positive bloods were reported soon after the discovery of the Rh factor.”2 Wieners suggested that these D variant types were determined by special “intermediate” Rh genes and Stratton2 postulated that this weak D antigen was elaborated by a new allele, D’, at the D-d locus. The only blood types which could he classified as DL variant...

studies on extraintestinal amebiasis in iran by serologic methods

sera from ninety one patients clinically suspected to extra intestinal amoebiasis (ex-am) were collected and examined for presence of anti entamoeba histolytica (e.h) antibody. the tests were indirect immunofluorescence antibody, (ifa or iif), gel diffusion (gd) and counter immuno electrophoresis (ciep). thirty one patients (34%) had anti e.h. antibody titres of >1:80. among them eight patients...

Serologic studies of acute respiratory infections in military personnel.

The advantages, disadvantages, and uses of serological epidemiology are discussed in relation to acute respiratory infections in military personnel. The prevalence of antibody reflects both current and past experience with respiratory agents and is a measure of susceptinility. Incidence data calculated by testing two serial serum samples, on entry and discharge from the service, has indicated...
