discrepancies in weil-felix and microimmunofluorescence test results for rocky mountain spotted fever.	only 4.2% of 284 single specimens and 17.6% of 51 pairs of sera reactive in weil-felix agglutination tests for rocky mountain spotted fever were confirmed by a specific rickettsia rickettsii microimmunofluorescence test.	1979	107194
sarcocystinae: nomina dubia and available names.	examination of the original descriptions of the species of sarcocystis in cattle, sheep, and swine, and of isosporid oocysts shed sporulated by dogs, cats, man, and other carnivores, has shown that it is not possible in most instances to identify unambiguously recently recognized taxa. the original descriptions are insufficient, and because no type specimens exist, could apply to two or more of the presently recognized taxa. we consider the following nomina dubia: sarcocystis hirsuta s. miescher ...	1979	107666
[conduction disorders after aortic valve replacement. apropos of 200 cases].	the following points become apparent after the study of 200 cases of aortic valve replacement:--conduction defects are very common after this type of surgery, affecting one in three patients in this series;--above all, the frequency of conduction defects of the left bundle branch (2/3 cases) must be underlined. they are much more common than complete atrioventricular block, bifascicular block or isolated right bundle branch block;--diagnosed immediately after operation in almost all cases, regre ...	1998	107882
nutritional deficiency and susceptibility to infection.	recent epidemiological surveys have demonstrated the association between malnutrition and infectious diseases. parasitic infections, diarrhea, pneumonia, hepatitis and tuberculosis are more frequent and most serious in undernourished people and in infants with low birth weight. data suggest an increased susceptibility to infectious diseases in individuals with protein-energy malnutrition and with iron-deficiency anemia; circulating lymphocytes and intraepithelial lymphocytes are also reduced in ...	1998	108017
