| reiter's disease: modern concepts. | reiter's disease (rd) is a reactive arthritis syndrome in which arthritis, conjunctivitis, dermatitis, and urethritis are the main features. it may be an acute and self-limited disease or it may cause severe debilitation. it generally follows an infectious episode, such as shigella dysentery or nonspecific urethritis. recent evidence has shown that patients in whom rd develops have a genetic disposition since the presence of hla-b27 correlates highly with rd. therapy of rd involves supportive ca ... | 1979 | 391498 |

| the numerous common antigens of enterobacteriaceae. | a mosaic of proteins is synthesized by each of the enterobacterial species grown on artificial media (tryptose-agar, difco). their existence was proven with the help of sera prepared in rabbits with proteins from: s. enteritidis, s. typhi, s. typhimurium, s. paratyphi c, e. coli, and sh. sonnei. the induced antibodies, strongly precipitated numerous heterologous enterobacterial proteins. the proteins of sh. dysenteriae 4, although reacting against the heterologous sera, were poor immunogens and ... | 1979 | 388941 |
| epidemiology of shigella dysenteriae, type 1 infections, in dacca urban area. | a prospective study of 47 families with an index case of shigella dysenteriae type 1 was conducted in the urban areas of dacca. the subsequent infection rates in contacts type 1 were 30.6% and 28.3% in the age groups 0--4 and 5--9. total secondary infection rate was 20.4% with rates in males higher than in females. among the contacts 12.5% developed diarrhoea caused by the same serotype, but 22.1% developed diarrhoea with undiagnosed causes. for one hospitalised case there were seven symptomatic ... | 1979 | 388775 |

| shigella infections. | shigellosis is a complex disease involving two distinct organs and two distinctive clinical presentations of intestinal involvement. it is also associated with a wide variety of extra-intestinal manifestations. because these may precede the onset of diarrhoea/dysentery, and confuse the diagnosis, it is safe to denote shigellosis as a protean clinical problem. the disease is readily spread by contact because so few organisms are required to establish infection. it may also be spread through conta ... | 1979 | 387300 |
| [results of testing a new method of using antibiotics in nutrient media for the isolation of shigella: the 2-streak method]. | a new variant of media with antibiotics for isolation of shigella, i.e. a method of 2 streaks each containing different antibiotics was tested in analysis of excrements from patients with acute dysentery. it was found that the new method is more effective than the well known method of gradient plates (isolation of shigella in one series of the experiments amounted to 85.2 and 64.7 per cent respectively, and in the other series of the experiments the respective figures were 95.4 and 89.3 per cent ... | 1979 | 386936 |
