Studies on Hemolytic Streptococcal Infection

Studies of Hemolytic Streptococcal Infection I. Factors Influencing the Outcome of Erysipelas.

Seroepidemiology status of Nepalese against hemolytic streptococcal infection in Katmandu.

Immune status of apparently healthy Nepalese against hemolytic streptococci was studied by measuring antibodies to various streptococcal antigens such as streptolysin-O (SO), streptokinase (SK), deoxyribonuclease-B (DN-B) and streptococcal polysaccharide (SP). The normal range of anti-streptolysin-O (ASO), anti-streptokinase (ASK), anti-deoxyribonuclease-B (ADN-B) and anti-Streptococcus polysac...

Group A β-hemolytic Streptococcal Infection in Children and the Resultant Neuro-psychiatric Disorder a Cross Sectional Study Tehran, Iran

Introduction: Group A Beta-Hemolytic Streptococcus (GABHS) can induce PANDAS (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infection). GABHS is the most important and common bacterial cause of acute pharyngitis in Iranian children. We studied the role of GABHS (anti-streptococcal antibodies) in suspected cases of PANDAS in a cross sectional studies. Method...

Studies on Streptococcal Bacteriophages

Evidence has been presented that the burst size in the Group A and Group C streptococcal phage-host systems are in general similar producing approximately 13 phage particles per infected coccus. The exception was the C1 phage which produced 10 times more virus particles than all the other phages tested. The eclipse period for the A25 phage-host system was found to extend for 34 min, while the C...
