| an outbreak of erythema infectiosum associated with human parvovirus infection. | erythema infectiosum (ei) or fifth disease is a mild, acute exanthematous disease, occurring mainly among children, for which a causative virus has long been sought. in may 1983 an outbreak of exanthematous illness was reported in a primary school in north london. children attending the school were investigated by questionnaire and 162 (43.9%) reported an illness with the features of ei. in each of 36 cases investigated virologically the illness was associated with parvovirus infection. moreover ... | 1984 | 6086750 |
| prevalence of acute conjunctivitis caused by chlamydia, adenovirus, and herpes simplex virus in an ophthalmic casualty department. | the causes of acute conjunctivitis in 140 consecutive patients attending an ophthalmic casualty department in london were investigated. laboratory evidence of infection with chlamydia trachomatis, adenovirus, or herpes simplex virus was found in 52 (37%) cases. in 70 cases (50%) no evidence of infection with these agents was found. in the remaining 18 cases (13%) laboratory results were inconclusive. the importance of these findings, the role of laboratory investigations in the differential diag ... | 1984 | 6087876 |

| use of normal immunoglobulin in an echovirus 11 outbreak in a special-care baby unit. | an epidemic of echovirus 11 infections occurred in the cambridge special-care baby unit during august to october, 1982. there were 21 confirmed infections in babies; 1 died, 1 recovered after resection of a kidney, 5 had meningitis, and 6 had respiratory symptoms. normal human immunoglobulin which contained antibody to echovirus 11 was administered intramuscularly (250 mg) to give protection. none of the children given immunoglobulin immediately after delivery (205 doses) developed symptoms or i ... | 1983 | 6135922 |
| declining t-cell immunity to influenza, 1977-82. | influenza-a-virus-specific, hla-restricted, cytotoxic t-cell immunity, measured in 189 volunteers in the six years 1977-82, showed a sharp decline from 1978. it is shown that natural infection with influenza-a virus boosts cytotoxic t-cell memory. the decline in t-cell immunity is probably associated with the low prevalence of influenza-a-virus infection since 1978. | 1983 | 6137602 |

| the incidence of down's syndrome over a 19-year period with special reference to maternal age. | the incidence of down's syndrome in the liverpool and bootle areas from 1961 to 1979 was investigated. a total of 319 liveborn cases was ascertained over this period. using 3-year moving averages, the incidence of the condition fell gradually from 1.62 per 1000 livebirths for 1961 to 1963 to 1.09 per 1000 livebirths for 1977 to 1979. this trend is significant at the 0.1% level. over the same period the mean maternal age of down's syndrome births fell gradually from 36.7 years in 1961 to 29.0 yea ... | 1983 | 6221104 |
| huntington disease: genetics and epidemiology. | huntington disease (hd) is an autosomal dominant disorder in which the major gene expression occurs in the central nervous system. it is characterized by the appearance of progressive chorea and dementia, usually in adult life. one tragic aspect of the disorder, due to its late age of onset and, until recently, lack of a presymptomatic marker, is that transmission of the disease to offspring invariably occurs before symptoms develop in the parent. although the onset of symptoms and the rate of p ... | 1984 | 6233902 |
| nitrate and human cancer: a review of the evidence. | nitrites, derived mainly from ingested nitrates, may react in vivo with secondary nitrogen compounds occurring naturally in certain foods to form n-nitroso compounds, which are potent carcinogens in laboratory animals. this paper reviews the mechanism of their formation and the evidence from epidemiological studies that high nitrate ingestion is involved in the aetiology of human cancer. | 1980 | 6252106 |
| an outbreak of adenovirus type 4 conjunctivitis. | an unusually large outbreak of conjunctivitis caused by adenovirus type 4 involved 113 proved cases during a 7-month period. though the disease was less severe than is commonly seen in epidemic keratoconjunctivitis caused by other serotypes, the cornea was affected in 23% of cases and symptoms persisted for at least 5 weeks in 6 patients. a concurrent increase in nonocular adenovirus type 4 infections in the bristol area was not observed. nine of the cases could have arisen as a result of hospit ... | 1980 | 6252950 |
| occurrence and frequency of coronavirus infections in humans as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | the occurrence of human coronavirus (hcv) infections was analyzed by using sequential sera taken between 1976 and 1981 from adults working in the london area. antibody rises to hcv 229e and hcv oc43 group viruses were measured in serum samples from these subjects by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. hcv infections were found throughout the year, although most occurred during two periods, from june through september and from december through february. there were no marked seasonal differences in ... | 1982 | 6292101 |

| acute type a, b, and non-a, non-b hepatitis in a hospital population in london: clinical and epidemiological features. | the aetiology of acute viral hepatitis in 172 patients admitted to an infectious diseases hospital in north london was: hepatitis a in 88 (51%), hepatitis b in 58 (34%), epstein-barr (eb) virus in four (2%) and non-a, non-b in 22 (13%). nanb hepatitis was a milder disease than that associated with the other viruses. it predominantly occurred in young men (77%). in half of the cases there was evidence of parenteral transmission. it was not transmitted by sexual contact. | 1983 | 6303917 |
