Different results have been observed in systematically analysing bacteriological cultures of (a) bronchial secretions aspirated during fiberoptic bronchoscopy and (b) of sputum. In a prospective study of 23 patients with chronic infections of the lower respiratory tract, bacteriological cultures of the sputum showed more bronchopathogenic strains than those of subsequently removed bronchial sec...

A bacteriological follow-up of 16 lepromatous patients with a high initial Bacteriological Index (BI) showed that in 8 randomly selected patients who received single doses of ICRC Vaccine (C44) at the onset of multidrug therapy, the average reduction of BI was from 4.4+ to 1+ in 2 years--3 of these patients became negative and 3 showed BI 1+ or less. Comparable bacteriological assessments in 8 ...

In 1964, one of us (WHG) undertook a retrospective study of bacterial meningitis in childhood in the north east of Scotland during the period 1946-61. We have recently carried out a similar review of cases occurring during 1971-86, to compare the incidence, mortality, and bacteriological patterns. During the earlier period 285 cases occurred, a total incidence of 16.9/100,000 children per year....
