We report the development of Campylobacter jejuni enteritis in a patient with preexisting humoral and cellular immune recognition of C. jejuni antigens. This is one of few studies in which the immunologic status of a person with regard to C. jejuni before and after C. jejuni infection is directly compared, and it is the only study of which we are aware that includes measurements of cellular imm...

Professor of Greek tells me that he truly believes the classics have made him what he is. This is a very grave statement, if well founded. Indeed, I have heard the same argument from a great many Latin and Greek scholars. They all claim, with some heat, that Latin and Greek have practically made them what they are. This damaging charge against the classics should not be too readily accepted. In...

A solid-phase enzyme immunoassay method for the measurement of total and class-specific serum antibodies to Campylobacter jejuni was developed. The test was found to be both sensitive and specific. Immunoglobulin M, G, and A antibodies were detected in about 90% of sera collected from patients recovering from Campylobacter enteritis, with the pattern of appearance and decline of these antibodie...

Ten out of 18 babies at risk developed enteritis in an outbreak in a special-care baby unit. Salmonella, Shigella, and Escherichia coli belonging to the traditional infantile enteropathogenic serogroups were not found in faeces from the babies and the staff, and no virus particles were found by electron microscopy. Detailed serotyping of E. coli showed that five of the 10 babies with diarrhoea ...

The association between Campylobacter infection and subsequent Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has been well documented. To date, however, there exists no direct estimate of the incidence of GBS among patients with Campylobacter infection. Using the General Practice Research Database, we estimate the incidence of GBS in a cohort of patients presenting with Campylobacter enteritis to be 1.17/1000 ...

background and objectives: leptospirosis is considered to be the most widespread zoonotic disease in the world and can infect a wide range of animals. although the prevalence of clinical leptospirosis in cats is low, they are probably exposed to leptospires excreted by wild life, rodents etc. this study was performed to determine the serologic reaction of cats to leptospires and their importanc...

background: leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis causedby leptospira interrogans. leptospirosis results in decreasedmilk production, abortion, stillbirth, infertility and mortality,which causes financial loss in the cattle industry. objectives:the aim of this research was to perform a serological andbacteriological study of leptospirosis in 6 industrial dairy herdsand 3 feedlots with previous ...

A meta-analytic approach was used to determine factors associated with the severity of enteritis in distal intestine Atlantic salmon fed soybean meal (SBM)-based diets. Dataset from 26 fish studies were extracted and standardized for use meta-analysis. After standardization, data analyzed ordinal logistic regression model by comparing SBM treatment(s) each study neutral-reference treatment. The...

AIM To evaluate mucosal baseline mRNA expression of tissue transglutaminase 2 (tTG2), interferon gamma (IFNγ), toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and Myeloid Differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) in patients with microscopic enteritis (ME). METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 89 patients with ME of different etiology, which was defined within a 2-year mean period of follow-up. Baseline histological exam...
