| susceptibility of campylobacter jejuni to twenty-three antimicrobial agents. | twenty-three antimicrobial agents, including 4 new broadspectrum beta-lactam antibiotics were tested against 50 clinical isolates of campylobacter jejuni. the activity of metabolites of metronidazole and tinidazole was also tested. minimum inhibitory concentrations (mic) were determined by agar dilution. beta-lactamase production was detected by a chromogenic cephalosporin method. all strains were susceptible to erythromycin, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, furazolidone, aminoglycosides (including ... | 1983 | 6602320 |
| bacteriological findings in 25 patients with reiter's syndrome (reactive arthritis). | extensive bacteriological testing was performed in 25 patients with complete or incomplete reiter's syndrome. in 21 patients (84%), evidence of antecedent infection was found, based on culture and/or serological findings. thus, infection with chlamydia trachomatis (17 patients), yersinia enterocolitica, serotype 3 (4 patients), and campylobacter jejuni (1 patient) was identified. | 1983 | 6602373 |
| reactive arthritis after campylobacter jejuni enteritis. a case report. | a 36-year-old hla b 27 positive woman developed reactive type arthritis a week after enterocolitis. stool culture and serological tests indicated campylobacter jejuni infection. serological evidence of previous chlamydial infection was also obtained. the arthritis ran a benign course of 6 months, leaving no residual symptoms. | 1983 | 6602375 |
| hla-b27-negative arthritis related to campylobacter jejuni enteritis in three children and two adults. | five out of 37 patients with proven campylobacter jejuni enteritis developed arthritis. two adult patients presented with classical reiter's syndrome. one of the three children had reactive arthritis, and clinical suspicion of septic arthritis could not be confirmed in two. the acute synovitis subsided usually without treatment in all patients within 3-7 days, while arthralgia persisted longer in 4 patients. hla-b27 was not present in the 5 patients with arthritis, but was found in 4 others. in ... | 1983 | 6605028 |
| gram-negative bacteria and b27 disease. | the role of infection in ankylosing spondylitis is speculative and different studies by several groups have yielded conflicting results. the role of infection, however, in reactive arthritis and reiter's syndrome is well established. the grampian region has experienced three outbreaks of gastroenteritis, two due to campylobacter jejuni and one due to salmonella typhimurium. these outbreaks have allowed a study of reactive arthritis in the affected population following these infections. these stu ... | 1983 | 6606475 |
| [the reactive arthritis syndrome. rheumatological limits]. | the term reactive arthritis (ra) refers to an inflammatory joint disease in the absence of bacteria in the joint, but which is caused by a distant extra-articular infection. they occur as a result of a variety of infections, which are essentially genital or gastro-intestinal in subjects with a particular genetic predisposition characterized by the presence of the hla-b27 antigen or one of the creg group of antigens (b7 - b27 - bw22 - bw42). the most complete clinical expression of reactive arthr ... | 1983 | 6607499 |
| [reactive arthritis caused by non-yersinia intestinal infections]. | aseptic arthritis can occur following intestinal infections due to shigella, salmonella, campylobacter jejuni and clostridium difficile. these rheumatisms are rare, only occurring in about 1 p. cent of cases, generally in patients with the hla-b27 antigen. whatever the causative organism, the arthritis has features in common with all reactive arthrites. they generally have a favourable course. | 1983 | 6607501 |
