| diagnostic specificity of immunoglobulin m (igm) response in differentiation legionnaires' disease from psittacosis. | specific igm and igg antibody responses to legionella pneumophila (ldb) and chlamydia psittaci (psi) in serum specimens from 22 cases of legionnaires' disease (ld) were examined by micro-immunofluorescence (if) tests to explore the diagnostic significance of the igm antibody response. serial samples from 5 patients with ld showed greater than or equal to 4-fold changes in igg antibody against ldb and psi. all 5 patients possessed igm antibodies against ldb but not against psi. in single convales ... | 1979 | 394307 |

| failure of serology in diagnosing chlamydial infections of the female genital tract. | chlamydia trachomatis was recoved from 20% (36/180) of women attending a venereal disease clinic. all infected women had chlamydial antibodies in their serum and cervical secretions. however, the background rates of chlamydial antibody in chlamydia-negative women were very high. measurement of antibodies in serum (complement fixation or immunoglobulin g [igg] and igm by microimmunofluorescence) or cervical secretion (igg, igm, iga or secretory iga classes) did not result in predictive values of ... | 1979 | 397220 |

| triple tetracycline (deteclo) in the treatment of chlamydial infection of the female genital tract. | the efficacy of treating genital chlamydia in women using deteclo 300 mg twice daily for seven and 21 days has been studied. forty-four patients were treated for seven days and 20 for 21 days. seven days of treatment was as effective in eliminating chlamydia trachomatis from the female genital tract as 21 days. the reproducibility of the technique of isolation of c. trachomatis was assessed by delaying treatment in 10 patients for up to 156 days and find c. trachomatis still present. | 1977 | 403996 |

| diagnosis and treatment of acute salpingitis. | acute salpingitis is one of the most common acute gynecologic diseases and occurs in approximately 750,000 women each year in the united states. use of laparoscopy to confirm the diagnosis of acute salpingitis has shown that the signs and symptoms classically ascribed to this disease are not specific to it. fever, leukocytosis, elevated esr and adnexal masses or swelling are not necessary to make a diagnosis of acute salpingitis. lower abdominal pain and adnexal tenderness are the most consisten ... | 1977 | 406388 |

| urethritis in white men--a microbiological appraisal. | the incidence of infections with neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis and mycoplasmas has been assessed in white men with urethritis who were attending a johannesburg clinic for sexually transmitted diseases. infection with n. gonorrhoeae was demonstrated in 54% of 212 patients with urethritis. c. trachomatis was isolated from 37% of patients with non-gonococcal urethritis, and from 25% with proven gonococcal infection. although t-mycoplasmas were isolated significantly more often from p ... | 1977 | 406683 |
