Variola Caused by Infected Paper-Rags

Treatment with Bacteriophages of Experimentally-Infected Mice Caused by Antibiotic-Resistant Pseudomonas Aerugi-nosa

Infected mural thrombus caused by Bacteroides fragilis.

findings of Sonnenblick et al of the greatest positional changes in Pa02 that were found with two patients with cardiac failure were because of occult contralateral effusions, even though the diagnosed effusions were reported to be small. Indeed, cardiac failure is most often associated with bilateral effusions if more sensitive diagnostic techniques are performed. 3 The two reported patients w...

Joint Diseases Following Variola

One day in last October I was hurriedly called to see a European child, who was suffering from fever and had a convulsion an hour previously. Three days after characteristic variolar eruptions appeared on the wrist and forehead. The small-pox gradually extended and became confluent. Two days after a younger brother of the child got fever and afterwards small-pox. On the 9th day of his illness t...

Diagnostic performance of filter paper lesion impression PCR for secondarily infected ulcers and nonulcerative lesions caused by cutaneous leishmaniasis.

We compared traditional cutaneous leishmaniasis diagnostic methods to filter paper lesion impression (FPLI) PCR for secondarily infected ulcers and nonulcerative lesions. The sensitivity and specificity of FPLI PCR for secondarily infected lesions (n = 8) were 100%. In primarily nonulcerative lesions (n = 15), the sensitivity of FPLI PCR was inferior to that of pooled-invasive-specimen PCR (72....
