Serological studies of antigenic similarity between Japanese spotted fever rickettsiae and Weil-Felix test antigens.
Acute and convalescent-phase sera obtained from 10 patients infected with a Japanese strain of spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsia were tested by the indirect immunoperoxidase test, the Weil-Felix test, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and immunoblotting. By the Weil-Felix test, the reactivity of these sera to the OX2 antigen was higher than those to the OX19 antigen, as is the ca...
متن کاملA Note on the Serological Diagnosis of Typhus by the Weil-Felix Reaction
The outbreak consisted of sixteen cases (8 males and 8 fema'es) of which six ended fatally. The cases were limited to a single Mohamedan family of vegetable sellers, and with two exceptions all were blood-relations, a fact of some significance in a louse-borne disease. The first three cases of the series were fata! and the disease was not recognised during life. When, however, further cases dev...
متن کاملWeil-Felix test: A diagnostic tool for rickettsial diseases
Rickettsial diseases are generally classified under the causes of pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) and high prevalence of this disease is found in developing countries like India. Diagnosis in such cases is difficult because early sign and symptoms are non-specific and varied. Mortality may be as high as 3040% if untreated. Weil Felix in one of the cheapest screening method available for laborat...
متن کاملStructural studies on the lipopolysaccharide core of Proteus OX strains used in Weil-Felix test: a mass spectrometric approach.
The core region of the lipopolysaccharides of Proteus group OX bacteria, which are used as antigens in Weil-Felix test for serodiagnosis of rickettsiosis, were studied by chemical degradations in combination with ESI FTMS, including infrared multi-photon dissociation (IRMPD) MS/MS and capillary skimmer dissociation. Structural variants of the inner core region were found to be the same as in Pr...
متن کاملW. J. Wilson and the Weil-Felix reaction.
Eponymy is however not an absolute guarantee against what Sir Thomas Browne called the iniquity of oblivion. Times and names change. Brucella abortus has supplanted the bacillus abortus of Bang. I was taught that diphtheria was caused by the Klebs-Loeffler bacillus, but that pathogen is now Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Klebs has survived in Klebsiellapneumoniae, but at the expense of Friedlaend...
