| listeria pneumonitis: influence of route of immunization on resistance to airborne infection. | mice that are immunized with an airborne inoculum of bcg are more highly resistant to airborne challenge with mycobacterium tuberculosis than are mice that are immunized by the subcutaneous or intravenous route. to discover whether this phenomenon is peculiar to tuberculosis, we studied the influence of the route of immunization upon pulmonary resistance in listeria monocytogenes infection. mice were immunized by the airborne, intravenous, or footpad route and were subsequently challenged by the ... | 1979 | 489125 |
| [tuberculous cerebral abscess. morphopathologic study (author's transl)]. | a 73-year-old patient with a cerebral abscess of tuberculous etiology localized in the left parietooccipital region is presented. clinically it had behaved like an expansive process. the inside of the abscess contained a purulent exudate with polynuclear cells and necrotic material. the wall of the abscess was formed by a predominantly histiocytic internal layer and an external one composed by histiocytes with the morphology of epithelioid cells. no tuberculous granulomas were found. the histioc ... | 1979 | 491787 |
| hla-bw15 and tuberculosis in a north american black population. | peripheral blood lymphocytes from 60 black patients with mycobacterium tuberculosis disease proved by culture and 100 healthy black persons were hla phenotyped using a standard lymphocytotoxicity test. statistical analysis of the results showed that only bw15 antigen had a significantly increased frequency among patients with tuberculosis when they were compared to healthy persons. furthermore, examination of disease manifestations among patients with tuberculosis demonstrated that patients with ... | 1979 | 517859 |
| experimental granulomatous inflammation: ii. effect of injection of intact and disrupted killed tubercle bacilli into freund adjuvant-sensitized cavies. | the reaction of freund adjuvant-immunized cavies to subsequent injection of mycobacterium tuberculosis h37ra is confirmed as an immunologically mediated phenomenon. ultrasonic disruption of mycobacteria to be injected as "challenge" markedly increases the intensity of the consequent 24-48 h reaction and subsequent fibrosis in freund adjuvant-sensitized cavies and has an apparently inhibiting effect on the extent of subsequent granuloma formation with marked reduction of the density of epithelioi ... | 1979 | 523183 |
| a serological comparison of pasteurella haemolytica vaccines containing different adjuvants. | five adjuvants were compared for their ability to enhance the serological response of sheep to capsule extract of pasteurella haemolytica biotype a serotype 6. vaccines of this antigen were inoculated with incomplete freund's adjuvant, complete freund's adjuvant, incomplete freund's adjuvant containing a water soluble extract of mycobacterium tuberculosis, aluminium hydroxide gel or a combination of aluminium hydroxide gel and incomplete freund's adjuvant. this latter vaccine induced significant ... | 1979 | 523817 |
| granulomatous synovitis: the role of atypical mycobacteria. | clinical data on 25 patients with granulomatous synovitis and bursitis observed from 1970 through 1977 are reviewed. the lesions occurred about the extremities, the wrists and hands being involved most often. with three exceptions, the patients had no significant underlying disease. the lesions were chronic and often followed minor trauma. many patients had had prior surgery, steriod injections, or both. at the time of surgery for the synovitis, the gross appearance proved to be relatively chara ... | 1979 | 542760 |
| photochromogenic and scotochromogenic mycobacteria: their clinical significance. | in the period 1973--1977, mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated by cultivation in 4408 cases from the clinical specimens of patients with positive x-ray findings. on the basis of atypical colony morphology or pigment formation, 263 other mycobacterial strains were identified: of these 23 were photochromogenic and belonged to mycobacterium kansasii. the strains were cultured on several occasions from the specimens of 4 patients with broncho-pulmonary mycobacteriosis. the strains were resistant ... | 1979 | 543456 |
| tuberculosis of the tongue. | involvement of the tongue by mycobacterium tuberculosis occurs on rare occasions. two interesting cases of tuberculosis of the tongue are reported and the mode of transfer of mycobacterium tuberculosis to oral tissues is discussed. the need to consider tuberculosis as an etiological factor in indolent oral lesions is emphasised. | 1979 | 547862 |
