| lyme borreliosis. | lyme borreliosis (lyme disease) is often said to be associated with "protean" manifestations, a reference to the ancient god proteus, who could assume many forms and thus elude his pursuers. this legendary quality has clouded our understanding of lyme borreliosis by giving borrelia burgdorferi infection a mythical aura of its own. this review shows that this illness, while incompletely understood, is far more palpable than proteus and is (in most cases) much more readily subdued. the clinical pr ... | 1998 | 9716075 |
| characterization of a monoclonal antibody and a cdna for polyubiquitin of amoeba proteus. | a monoclonal antibody was obtained that reacts with many different proteins (14-200 kda) of amoeba proteus. by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy we found the antigens to be dispersed throughout the cytoplasm but were more concentrated in the nucleus. the antibody cross-reacted with proteins of tetrahymena, xenopus embryo, and mouse macrophages. using the antibody as a probe we cloned a cdna of 1.2 kb coding for ubiquitin in five repeats. amino acid sequences of ameba's polyubiquitin showed ... | 1998 | 9703679 |
| which bacteria are found in belgian women with uncomplicated urinary tract infections in primary health care, and what is their susceptibility pattern anno 95-96? | dysuria is a frequent reason for encounter in general practice and also gynaecologists and urologists will be frequently confronted with it. in female patients 1/2 to 2/3 of dysuric episodes are due to urinary tract infections. in nearly all cases therapy is started before the results of a culture is available. therefore it is very important to know which bacteria are most prevalent in the treated population, and what their susceptibility pattern is . because most available information is based ... | 1998 | 9701853 |
