Studies on the Nasopharyngeal Secretions from Patients with Common Colds. By

چکیده
The experimental studies on the incitant of common colds in man to be reported in this paper were begun shortly after the investigations on influenza by Olitsky and Gates t~ were undertaken. They were initiated by the desire to check or control the latter studies and to determine, if possible, any causative agent in the nasopharyngeal secretions derived from persons suffering from common colds. This work has now extended over 4 years, and, while still incomplete, our purpose is to state only the results which we regard as established experimentally.

Studies on the Nasopharyngeal Secretions from Patients with Common Colds
From the foregoing experiments it appears that with the filtered nasopharyngeal secretions from early cases of typical infections common colds in the first 3 to 18 hours of the disease, a similar condition can be transmitted to man. With the unheated but not with the heated secretions from four of six such patients we have succeeded in transmitting an affection indistinguishable from common col...

Background: Acute respiratory tract infections, both bacterial and viral, cause 4.5 million childhood deaths worldwide, most of which occur in developing countries. Parainfluenza viruses, of the paramyxoviridae family, are among the common causes of acute respiratory infections, giving rise to 30% of respiratory infections in children before school age. The four parainfluenza viruses that cause...
متن کاملLactoferrin and eosinophilic cationic protein in nasal secretions of patients with experimental rhinovirus colds, natural colds, and presumed acute community-acquired bacterial sinusitis.
To distinguish sinusitis from uncomplicated "colds," we examined lactoferrin and eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) in nasal secretions. Lactoferrin titers were >/=1:400 in 4% of persons with uncomplicated colds and controls but in 79% of persons with sinusitis or purulent sputa. ECP levels were >200 ng/ml in 61% of persons with colds and >3,000 ng/ml in 62% of persons with sinusitis. Nasal la...
متن کاملHigh incidence of Haemophilus influenzae in nasopharyngeal secretions and middle ear effusions as detected by PCR.
PCR was used to detect Haemophilus influenzae in samples of nasopharyngeal secretion and middle ear effusion (MEE). Nasopharyngeal secretions were collected from 102 patients with otitis media with effusion and from 111 healthy subjects. Eighty samples of MEE were collected from patients with otitis media with effusion. A pair of primers was designed to amplify a DNA segment of the gene encodin...
