diarrhoea among infants in a crowded area of djakarta, indonesia. a longitudinal study from birth to two years.diarrhoeal diseases are common in djakarta, indonesia, especially among infants and young children. a study has been made of possible bacterial and parasitic causes of outbreaks in a group of 156 infants in a crowded area of the city. before the study was complete, 60 infants had left the area and 30 had died; diarrhoea was probably the direct or indirect cause of 13 of the deaths.diarrhoea was associated with pathogenic escherichia coli in about 20% of the cases studied; other causes of diarrho ...19665296127
the use of cyst antigen in the serodiagnosis of amoebiasis.the choice of a specific and pure antigen is one of the many problems in the serodiagnosis of amoebic infection. microbial associates in amoebic cultures have often given rise to confusing results in these tests. entamoeba histolytica trophozoites grown axenically provide a useful source of antigen but the axenic medium is expensive and cumbersome to prepare.the authors have successfully investigated the use of e. invadens cysts as a relatively inexpensive source of bacteria-free antigen which c ...19705310950
primary amoebic meningoencephalitis in britain.primary amoebic meningoencephalitis is caused by amoebae of the genera naegleria and hartmannella (acanthamoeba), which ordinarily are free-living saprophytes. the infection may be acquired from fresh water-for example, while bathing-the amoebae invading the nasal mucosa and reaching the meninges and brain along the olfactory nerve filaments. the disease is designated "primary" to distinguish it from meningocerebral infection caused by the parasitic amoebae, particularly entamoeba histolytica, w ...19695354833

a weakly acidic protease has a powerful proteolytic activity in entamoeba histolytica.a thiol dependent protease from homogenates of the parasite entamoeba histolytica has been identified and partially purified by means of ammonium sulphate fractionation, gel filtration and isoelectric focusing. the protease, having a molecular mass of 21 +/- 2 kda as judged by gel chromatography, represents a highly potent proteolytic capacity. the protease shows maximal activity against azocasein around the slightly acidic ph of 4.4 at 37 degrees c, but is also active at ph 3.4 and 8.5. at opti ...19846087137
amebic appendicitis associated with hepatic abscess.we have described a case of primary amebic appendicitis with liver abscess, and we suggest that this diagnosis be considered in patients with appendicitis after returning from endemic areas. careful histologic preparation will establish the diagnosis and dictate appropriate therapy.19846087467
amebic prostatitis.a man with persistent prostatitis despite antibiotic therapy was found to have amebas compatible with entamoeba histolytica in his urine after prostatic massage. two indirect hemagglutination titers for e histolytica were negative. the patient had a prompt response to metronidazole therapy. prostatitis due to amebic infection should be considered in patients who do not respond symptomatically to standard antibiotic therapy.19846087468
enteric pathogenic protozoa in homosexual men from san francisco.the prevalence of enteric protozoa was studied in a survey conducted among 150 male homosexual patients in san francisco. all patients were from a private practice in internal medicine. each was asked to complete a questionnaire and to submit multiple stool specimens for examination. of this group, 47% were positive for one or more potentially pathogenic intestinal protozoa; entamoeba histolytica was found in 36%, entamoeba hartmanni in 35%, giardia lamblia in 5%, and dientamoeba fragilis in 1.3 ...19846087479
attempts at oral infection of rats and mice with trophozoites of entamoeba histolytica.groups of athymic rnu rats were found to be susceptible to saw 408 entamoeba histolytica introduced intra-intestinally. the same strain of rat could be infected orally with cultured trophozoites using a gastric secretion inhibitor, cimetidine, as a pretreatment. groups of lac:p and wistar rats similarly treated were also found to be susceptible although the parasite population growth was slow. a similar regimen attempted on susceptible mice was unsuccessful.19846087507
serological differentiation between past and present infection in hepatic amoebiasis.the indirect fluorescent antibody (ifa) test and the amoebic gel diffusion (agd) test were assessed as tools for differentiating between past and present infection in invasive amoebiasis; in the case of the ifa test the entamoeba histolytica-specific igg and igm were monitored. in a pilot study in which sera from 56 patients with suspected invasive amoebiasis were tested the igm was positive in 40% of confirmed intestinal and 83% of confirmed hepatic cases, the igg and agd were positive in all c ...19846087510
an outbreak of amoebic infection in a kibbutz population.the cause of a reported outbreak of abdominal cramps and diarrhoea in a kibbutz in the western negev, israel, was sought. over 25% of the kibbutz population was found to harbour entamoeba histolytica, a very high rate by israeli standards. the highest frequency of infection was in the nought to nine-year-old group. high frequencies were also observed among 30- to 49-year-old women. the sanitary and hygienic conditions in the kibbutz, checked at the time of the epidemic and five years later, were ...19846087511
a controlled study of endemic sporadic diarrhoea among adult residents of southern brazil.the aetiology of sporadic summer diarrhoea and enterotoxin (lt) antibody titres was studied among 43 adult patients in southern brazil who had an acute, untreated diarrhoeal illness and 43 age- and sex-matched controls from the same area. a potential pathogen was identified in 33 of 34 patients and in 17 of 43 controls (p less than 0.01). 10 shigella, one invasive escherichia coli, one salmonella and one entamoeba histolytica were identified in 17 patients with inflammatory diarrhoea (faecal pol ...19846087512
