| bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. an epidemiological study in a hospital population. | in order to determine the incidence of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in patients with other types of pulmonary pathology, 586 in-patients, out-patients and controls were examined during the period 1968-1970 in baguley hospital, manchester, england. it was found that from the 344 in-patients and out-patients with other pulmonary pathology, 6 had a definite diagnosis of allergic aspergillosis. 1 had pulmonary aspergilloma while 53 other patients demonstrated some evidence of bronchopulmonary aspe ... | 1976 | 778964 |
| cystine aminopeptidase (oxytocinase) activity in plasma and tissues of normal and infected pregnant cattle. | cystine aminopeptidase (cap) activity in tissues and in plasma from pregnant cows was measured at various stages of gestation by using the substrate s-benzyl-l-cysteine-4-nitroanilide. the cap activity was as high or higher in hepatic and renal tissues as in cotyledonary tissue. plasma cap activity was low and did not change with length of gestation, nor did it change when placentation was disrupted by infection with aspergillus fumigatus. | 1976 | 779545 |
| [pathomorphology of pulmonary aspergillosis in tuberculosis patients based on according to resection material]. | to investigate various manifestations of broncho-pulmonary aspergillosis and to ascertain its association with a previous disease there were carried out histotopographic, histological and mycological studies of specimens of the lung tissue resected in 37 patients in connection with aspergillomas of the lungs and broncho-pulmonary aspergillosis. the investigations showed that aspergillosis was one of the forms of dysbacteriosis in the human organism and could develop against the background of pos ... | 1976 | 779726 |
| sources and incidence of airborne aspergillus fumigatus (fres). | specific surveys of the air for aspergillus fumigatus were carried out in rural and urban situations over a 2-year period. overall, low concentrations of spores were recorded with a higher incidence during the "winter" months. counts in the open air and in a hospital ward showed similar fluctuations, the indoor counts being consistently lower. plant debris in the form of compost heaps and stacks of hay and straw baled with a high moisture content in which self-heating occurs, produces large numb ... | 1976 | 780000 |

| ige antibodies in bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. | total serum ige and serum ige antibodies to a. fumigatus were quantitated in 143 patients with different forms of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. total serum ige levels were elevated in all patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis but also in some other forms of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, thus limiting the diagnostic value of total serum ige determination in this type of pulmonary mycotic infection. specific ige antibodies to a. fumigatus could be demonstrated in all patients w ... | 1976 | 786083 |
| intraocular effects of pimaricin. | pigmented rabbits weighing 3 to 6 lbs were given bilateral intraocular injections of 250 to 1,000 mug pimaricin. following their injection, blood, aqueous and vitreous levels were determined at various time intervals during the first 24 hours and at 24 hour intervals thereafter for one week. in subsequent studies, pigmented rabbits were given bilateral intraocular injections of 5,000 spores of a. fumigatus and 30 hours later received intraocular injections of 250 to 1,000 mug pimaricin. these st ... | 1976 | 786132 |
| depletion of complement in vivo and in vitro by extracts of aspergillus fumigatus. | a new, nontoxic material extracted from aspergillus fumigatus, is described with complement-depletion capacity both in vivo and in vitro. extracts of the mycelium of a. fumigatus were found to haemolyse sheep red blood cells, to be lethal for mice and to convert c3 into its faster electrophoretic form when incubated with normal human serum. conversion did not take place when purified c3 was used, suggesting that serum factors were required in the reaction. adsorption of the extracts with activat ... | 1976 | 786901 |
| an appraisal of impregon as a deterrent of domestic fungus growth. | impregon brand of tetrachlorsalicylanilide (tcsa) has been profferred widely as a household fungistatic agent, although its value remains unproved. to assess its effects, this agent was used as a laundry and paint additive and as a treatment for burlap rug backing; after recommended applications of impregon, coded replicate materials were inoculated with mixed suspensions of fungus particles. no difference was evident in fungus growth points on fabric swatches washed in tap water with and withou ... | 1976 | 787049 |
| aspergillus prosthetic valve endocarditis. | the clinical, laboratory, and histopathological features of seven cases of aspergillus fumigatus prosthetic valve endocarditis are presented. the exact nature of the lesion, a combination of infective fungal endocarditis and thrombosis on the prosthetic valve, is discussed and the difficulties in clinical diagnosis are emphasized. helpful indications were sudden unexplained heart failure with the appearance of new murmurs, and emboli to large or medium-sized systemic arteries. fever and anaemia ... | 1976 | 788218 |
| incidence of serum antibodies to several aspergillus species and to candida albicans in cystic fibrosis. | the incidence of serum ige antibodies to several species of aspergillus and the incidence of serum precipitins to these species and to candida albicans were determined in 22 children with cystic fibrosis, 17 children with bronchial asthma, and 18 control subjects. ige antibodies were found in 50 per cent of the patients with cystic fibrosis and in 29 per cent of the patients with bronchial asthma; none was found in the control subjects. precipitins to aspergillus species were present in 59 per c ... | 1976 | 788564 |
| rast using crude and purified anti-ige. | the sensitivity of the rast using anti-ige in 125i-labelled igg fractions of sheep antiserum was compared to that using anti-ige purified by immunosorbent techniques in tests with three allergens (grass pollens, aspergillus fumigatus and the detergent enzyme "alcalase") on sera from 248 workers in a detergent factory. both anti-ige reagents measure the same antibody but the rast procedure using the crude anti-ige reagent is less sensitive than that using the immunosorbent-purified anti-ige in it ... | 1976 | 788951 |
| combination amphotericin b-rifampin therapy for pulmonary aspergillosis in a leukemic patient. | pulmonary aspergillosis developed in a 62-year-old man with acute myelogenous leukemia. therapy with amphotericin b and 5-fluorocytosine was begun. synergy between amphotericin b and rifampin was demonstrated in vitro, and therapy with firampin replaced 5-fluorocytosine. progressive clearing of the pulmonary lesion ensued, suggesting in vivo efficacy as well. further studies of patients utilizing this regimen are warranted. | 1976 | 789031 |
| salmonella and aspergillus infections in common loons overwintering in florida. | during a 5-year period (1970-1975), 190 common loons (gavia immer) from overwintering populations on the east and west coasts of florida were examined for evidence of infectious diseases. salmonella spp (representing 8 serotypes) were isolated from 27 (14%) of the loons, and lesions typical of those produced by aspergillus fumigatus were found in 34 (18%) of the loons. seven loons were infected with salmonella spp and had lesions typical of aspergillus infection. the largest number of loons (124 ... | 1976 | 789314 |
| bilateral pulmonary aspergilloma in ankylosing spondylitis treated with transthoracic intracavitary instillations of antifungal agents. | repeated transthoracic intracavitary injections of amphotericin b, nystatin and pimaricine proved a simple and safe method in the treatment of bilateral pulmonary aspergillomas in a patient with large cavities caused by lung disease in ankylosing spondylitis. both large mycetomas were dissolved by this treatment in combination with peroral corticosteroid medication, and the patient's general condition improved markedly. | 1976 | 790560 |
