Serum antistaphylococcal alpha-haemolysin titres in cystic fibrosis.
The presence of coagulase-positive staphylococci in the pulmonary tract of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) has been well established (Huang, Van Loon, and Sheng, 1961; Iacocca, Sibinga, and Barbero, 1963). Investigators (Halbert, di Sant' Agnese, and Kotek, 1960; Gladstone et al., 1962; Mudd et al., 1962; Quie and Wannamaker, 1964) have demonstrated serum antibodies to the microbial organism...
متن کاملSystematic review of antistaphylococcal antibiotic therapy in cystic fibrosis.

A systematic review was conducted to study the evidence relating antistaphylococcal therapy to clinical outcome in patients with cystic fibrosis.

متن کاملThe clinical evaluation of staphylococcal anti-alpha haemolysin titres in patients' sera.
a haemolysin and the pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus has long been a matter for discussion. Christie, North, and Parkin (1946) stated that the production of a haemolysin is essential for full pathogenicity, and that coagulase-positive strains which produced no a haemolysin might be regarded as non-pathogenic. Marks (1952) found a close correlation between pathogenicity and the production...
متن کاملThe value of serum IgG titres against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the management of early pseudomonal infection in cystic fibrosis.
We report the results of a clinical trial. Patients enrolled had serum IgG titres against Pseudomonas aeruginosa above the control range. Assignment to the observation or treatment group was by minimisation. Significant signs or symptoms in any patient prompted antipseudomonal treatment. In addition, the treatment group received antipseudomonal treatment at intervals of four months until the se...
متن کاملSerum pancreatic lipase activity in cystic fibrosis.
Patients with cystic fibrosis have been found to have abnormal serum concentrations of immunoreactive trypsin and abnormal activities of pancreatic isoamylase. A study was undertaken to discover whether activity of pancreatic lipase is also altered in cystic fibrosis. Serum from 23 patients with cystic fibrosis was assayed for immunoreactive trypsin and pancreatic lipase. Median serum pancreati...
