The Carrier State in Sonne Dysentery

The Use of Sulfaguanidine for Prophylaxis in Sonne Bacillary Dysentery, and in the Control of the Carrier State *

In an earlier paper the therapeutic effectiveness of sulfathiazole used during the acute stages of Sonne bacillary dysentery was demonstrated.5 However, it was shown also that sulfonamide therapy did not curtail the period during which the Sonne organism could be recovered by rectal cultures. Actually, there appeared to be statistical evidence that this period was prolonged when compared with u...

Survey on Carrier State of Sheep in Chlamydia pecorum Infection

Over the last 40 years, evidence has accumulated to suggest the ubiquitous presence of infections with intracellular bacteria of the genus Chlamydia in different livestock species. Different methods to clinical specimens substantiated such widespread, but mostly clinically unapparent, presumably low-level infections. In this initial epidemiological study, we addressed the question of chlamydial...

The Bacteriology of Typhoid, Salmonella and Dysentery Infections and Carrier States

The Bacteriology of Typhoid, Salmonella and Dysentery Infections and Carrier States

This book, which is adapted to a one-semester course, presents the subject of botany to the beginning student in an interest-compelling manner. Instead of giving too many facts regarding the various topics at the outset the student's curiosity is first stimulated by simple questions and problems and later a more complete discussion is given. The emphasis throughout the book is on function rathe...

Identification of the hereditary pyropoikilocytosis carrier state.

We evaluated the hematologic, rheologic, and biochemical features of erythrocytes obtained from 10 relatives of a 5-yr-old black female with hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) and severe hemolytic anemia. Erythrocyte morphology was normal in the father and five other relatives, but ghost mechanical fragility and drug-induced red cell endocytosis were increased, as was the percentage of spectri...
