The Therapeutic Value of Intramuscular Dosage of Type I Pneumococcus Antisera
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Intramuscular dosage of antipneumococcus sera in a standard dermal pneumococcic infection in rabbits is as effective as intravenous dosage provided the degree of blood stream invasion be not unusually high. 2. The immediate bactericidal effect of doses of serum given intramuscularly is equal to that of the same doses given intravenously in the cases of mild and moderately severe bacteremias. 3. The intramuscular method of serum administration in human beings with lobar pneumonia deserves a carefully controlled clinical trial.

A Note on the Specific Agglutination of Pneumococcus Types I, Ii and Iii
1. Type-specific agglutination of Pneumococcus Types I, II and III has been demonstrated in antisera largely deprived of the carbohydrate antibody. 2. The type-specific agglutinogens in Pneumococcus I and II responsible for agglutination in such antisera are inactivated by heating in alkaline solution at 100 degrees C. The specific carbohydrate remains unaltered under these conditions. 3. The r...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics, dosage regimen and in vitro plasma protein binding of intramuscular levofloxacin in buffalo calves
The pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin following its single intramuscular administration (3 mg/kg) was investigated in six male buffalo calves. Peak plasma level of 2.95 ± 0.13μg/ml was observed at 1 h and the drug level above MIC90 in plasma was detected up to 12 h of administration. The bioavailability was 68.1 ± 5.4% and levofloxacin was bound to the plasma proteins to the extent of 19.1 ± 1....
متن کاملThe Immunological Properties of the Heterophile Antigen and Somatic Polysaccharide of Pneumococcus
1. The lipocarbohydrate or F polysaccharide derived from a rough variant of Type I pneumococcus (I R) is antigenic in rabbits and gives rise to precipitins and sheep cell hemolysins. The somatic or C carbohydrate on the other hand is not antigenic. 2. Antisera for the rough variant of Type 1 pneumococcus contain also bacterial agglutinins immunologically unrelated to the C and F precipitins and...
متن کاملQuantitative Experiments with Antibodies to Specific Precipitates. Ii
1. Antisera have been produced in chickens with specific precipitates from Type II pneumococcus horse and rabbit antisera. 2. Specific precipitates from anti-Types I and II pneumococcus horse sera removed the same amount of antibody from the chicken anti-horse specific precipitate serum. Specific precipitates from horse antisera to diphtheria toxin and to crystalline egg albumin removed about o...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics of ceftazidime in buffalo calves following intravenous and intramuscular administration
The pharmacokinetic parameters of ceftazidime, a third generation cephalosporin, were investigated in six buffalo calves after single intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) administration at a dose rate of 10 mg/kg body weight. Ceftazidime concentrations in plasma and urine were determined by microbiological assay. Ceftazidime disposition was best fitted by a two-compartmental and a one-compar...
