| [studies on the physiopathology of cholera in bari]. | during a small epidemic of cholera in south italy in summer of 1973, the infection showed some peculiarities and differences in comparison with cholera classic picture of asiatic areas. in this paper epidemiological, pathogenetic, clinical and biochemical data of patients admitted to the institute of infectious diseases of bari are reported. the age of the majority of patients (over 50) is an important factor for understanding cause of infection; but also preexistent basal diseases are responsib ... | 1975 | 180912 |
| [behavior of vibrio cholerae strains of the biotype el tor isolated in apulia in 1973, in relation to various antibiotics and chemotherapeutics]. | the tests carried out on the strains of vibrio cholerae of the el tor biotype, isolated during the epidemic in apulia in 1973, brought to light the sensitivity of all the strains to various antibiotics and chemotherapeutic substances. only one initially sensitive strain, when it was isolated again in the same patient, proved to be resistant to tetracycline. on the basis of this discovery and others communicated in published works, the authors outline the problems posed by the emergence of antibi ... | 1975 | 1047628 |
| [research on v. cholerae anti-antibodies (agglutinating and vibriocidal) in patients affected by cholera-like gastroenteritis. studies performed during the cholera epidemic occurred in apulia in august-september 1973]. | agglutinating and vibriocidal antibody titers anti-v. cholerae of the serotypes ogawa and inaba, were determined in sera from 189 patients with cholera-like diarrheas during the epidemic of cholera occurred in august-september 1973, in bari. antibodies were determined in 74,2% of 70 patients, whose in the faeces and vomiting were isolated strains identified as v. cholerae, biotype el tor, serotype ogawa. this frequency was higher against the serotype ogawa. the antibodies could be proved very ea ... | 1975 | 1084731 |
| [studies on the bacteriological diagnosis of cholera and on the characteristics of isolated strains in the apulia epidemic during the summer of 1973]. | descriptions are given of the characteristics of 107 strains of vibrio cholerae of the serum type ogawa isolated during the epidemic in 1973, which, although not exhibiting hemolysis in liquid culture, could be assigned because of their other characteristics to the el tor biotype and to the phagic type 1. the authors also make a number of technical annotations on the bacteriological diagnosis of cholera. | 1975 | 1230046 |
| [preliminary studies on anti-brucella agglutinins and on immunoglobulins in subjects affected by cholera during the 1973 epidemic in the province of bari]. | the behaviour of brucella agglutinins in sera from 70 cholera patients has been investigated. agglutinins for brucella, at titers of 1/40 or higher, occurred in 45 patients (64,2%); it has also been showed an antibody rise in 41 subjects with a peak titer during the second week, just like cholera agglutinins. this fact confirms the antigenic interrelationship between vibrio cholerae and brucella group. the serum immunoglobulins, during the course of infection, have been determined. mean levels o ... | 1975 | 1230047 |
| [studies on the spread of vibrio cholerae, biotype el tor in the environment during the period following the 1973 epidemic in apulia]. | in the period following the cholera epidemic, studies were made of sewage, seawater and various foodstuffs (green vegetables, mussels, etc.) in an attempt to isolate vibrio cholerae of the el tor biotype. only in the samples of sewage taken at bari and taranto was it possible to isolate vibrio cholerae biotype el tor for a period of about a month after the last case of the illness; in this period it was isolated in 5 of the 11 samples taken at bari and in 1 of the 14 taken at taranto. the positi ... | 1975 | 1230048 |
| epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic evaluation of the italian cholera epidemic in 1994. | in the period between 18 october and 4 december 1994, 12 indigenous cases of cholera were registered in the southern italian region of puglia, 10 of them were diagnosed in our departments of infectious diseases. all patients were infected by consumption of raw fish or mussels. the patients had an elevated mean age and most were affected with systemic pathologies. the clinical course was mild and rarely complicated, although frequently the characteristic riziform diarrhoea was absent. in all pati ... | 1997 | 9062786 |
