| influenza vaccination and mortality from bronchopneumonia in the elderly. | in a three-year influenza vaccination programme carried out among elderly patients these were found to have a lower haemagglutination-inhibiting antibody level and a poorer serological response to vaccination than younger persons in the same city. although there was little difference in overall respiratory illness between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups until the third year of observation, those who received vaccine showed a substantially smaller incidence of bronchopneumonia and a signif ... | 1975 | 46524 |

| epidemiology of respiratory viral infection among paediatric inpatients over a six-year period in north-east england. | during a 6-year, hospital-based study at newcastle upon tyne five consecutive winter epidemics of respiratory syncytial (r.s.) virus infection occurred; the virus was identified in 1428 cases, showing that 1 in 50 live-births were admitted to hospital with r.s. virus infection. epidemics were inversely related to temperature and to number of hours of sunshine. parainfluenzaviruses, the second largest group of pathogens, were identified in 543 cases; most infections by this group were due to para ... | 1978 | 82045 |

| the incidence of significant bacteriuria in the dog. | counts of the number of bacteria in canine urine samples have a bimodal distribution similar to that found in man. therefore it is reasonable to accept the same criterion of significant bacteriuria in the dog as in man, namely a count of 10(5) or more organisms/ml. of urine. the incidence of significant bacteriuria in the total canine population was 1.4%. it was higher in bitches compared with male dogs, and higher in older animals. the larger proportion of boxers affected was attributed to thei ... | 1978 | 354091 |
