"tric Agent" Urethritis: a Report of the Serological Fluorescent Antibody and Associated Findings
نویسندگان
چکیده
The relationship between Trachoma-Inclusion Conjunctivitis agents (TRIC Agents) and Non-Specific urethritis (NSU) was investigated. The results of complement fixation and immunofluorescence studies using a "group" and a "type-specific" antigen/antiserum are presented in detail, as well as other associated clinical and laboratory findings related to a routine evaluation of urethritis. It was shown that one or more TRIG agents probably account for a much larger percentage of "NSU" cases than previously thought. There appears to be a definite interrelationship between TRIC urethritis and epididymitis in young adults, and possibly with Reiter's Syndrome. Further investigation of these relationships should certainly be done. (A protocol for such a study to be conducted at USNH, San Diego is being prepared for submission.)

Outbreak of non-specific urethritis associated with the presence of complement-fixing antibodies to the LB4 strain of TRIC agent.
The diagnosis of non-specific urethritis in the male is usually based upon the presence of a characteristic urethral discharge associated with burning on urination, and upon the absence, in stained smears, of bacterial pathogens. Careful examination may reveal typical inclusion bodies in epithelial scrapings stained by Giemsa's method and a few reports have been published describing the isolati...

Zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis is caused by Leishmania infantum (L. infantum),and its major reservoir hosts are domestic dogs, most of which are asymptomatic. This study aimed to detect L. infantum spp. in asymptomatic stray dogs by molecular and serological methods in Mashhad, Iran, during 2011-12. In this study, 94 asymptomatic stray dogs were randomly selected and their blood samples were c...
