| group l beta-haemolytic streptococcal infection in meat handlers: another streptococcal zoonosis? | group l, beta-haemolytic streptococci can cause infection in dogs, pigs, cattle and sheep but there have been very few reports in man. in studies of skin infection in meat handlers we cultured group l streptococci from clinically infected wounds, impetigo and paronychia of 15 patients involved in the slaughter and processing of chickens and pigs. staphylococcus aureus was also present in eight (53%) of the lesions. at least five other infections with group l streptococci in meat and animal handl ... | 1987 | 3678390 |

| infection with influenza a h1n1. 1. production and persistence of antibody. | three outbreaks of influenza caused by influenza a h1n1 occurred in a boys' boarding school in 1978, 1979 and 1983. the serological response to infection with variants of the h1n1 virus was studied by radial haemolysis and haemagglutination inhibition after primary infection and reinfection. the persistence of this antibody was also studied. infection in 1978 resulted in the production of persistent antibody to both the haemagglutinin and neuraminidase of the homotypic strain. antibody which cro ... | 1986 | 3701045 |
| infection with influenza a h1n1. 2. the effect of past experience on natural challenge. | following its reintroduction in 1978 influenza a h1n1 spread widely in the child population. by the autumn of 1979, 75% of 11-year olds entering a boys' boarding school had detectable antibody. the protective effect of previous experience could be assessed during two outbreaks in the school. in the first outbreak in 1979, 90% of those known to have been infected in the previous year were protected against reinfection. in 1983 after strains of the h1n1 subtype had undergone antigenic drift a larg ... | 1986 | 3701046 |
