| bacterial meningitis in egypt: analysis of csf isolates from hospital patients in cairo, 1977-78. | bacterial meningitis remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity in many countries of the world despite effective antimicrobial therapy. studies of the etiology and some laboratory characteristics of bacterial meningitis in egypt were conducted during 1977-1978. all patients suspected of having bacterial meningitis were studied at the time of admission to the two fever hospitals of cairo. direct culture, serological identification of the capsular type, and countercurrent-immunoelectrophores ... | 1983 | 6411374 |
| meningitis and encephalitis at the abbassia fever hospital, cairo, egypt, from 1966 to 1989. | a total of 7,809 patients with meningitis or encephalitis were admitted to the abbassia fever hospital in cairo, egypt from november 1, 1966 to april 30, 1989. the etiology was neisseria meningitidis (mostly group a) in 27.3% of the patients, mycobacterium tuberculosis in 19.7%, streptococcus pneumoniae in 7.3%, and haemophilus influenzae in 4.1%. almost 27% of the cases had purulent meningitis but without detectable etiology; however, the epidemiologic data suggest that most of these had mening ... | 1993 | 8427395 |
| resistance patterns of streptococcus pneumoniae and haemophilus influenzae isolates recovered in egypt from children with pneumonia. the antimicrobial resistance surveillance study group. | treatment of childhood pneumonia in developing countries requires knowledge of susceptibility patterns for streptococcus pneumoniae and haemophilus influenzae. between october 1991 and april 1993, a surveillance survey of antimicrobial resistance was performed at two fever hospitals in egypt; nasopharyngeal swab and blood specimens obtained from 1,635 children with pneumonia were cultured for these organisms. susceptibility testing of these organisms was performed. at least one of these organism ... | 1996 | 8922805 |
| surveillance of natural acquired antibodies to haemophilus influenzae type b among children in cairo-egyptian. | in egypt, the incidence of invasive haemophilus influenzae type b (hib) disease is not common and the vaccine is still not included into the national immunization program. the aim of this study was to evaluate the natural immunity to hib in healthy children at egyptian capitol (cairo). one hundred and two children were enrolled in our study of age one month to 15 year. anti-capsular polysaccharide (prp) of hib specific igm and igg antibody concentrations were estimated using enzyme immunoassay. ... | 2005 | 16424597 |
| hemophilus influenzae and streptococcus pneumoniae as causative agents of pneumonia in egyptian preschool children: analysis and serotyping of hemophilus isolates from hospital patients in cairo, 1991-93. | the hemophilus influenzae blood culture and nasopharyngeal isolates, collected during a limited surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in 1991-1993 from 1,635 egyptian children under 5 years of age, presenting with pneumonia to embaba and abbassia fever hospitals, were serotyped. the 8 blood culture isolates confirmed h. influenzae to be responsible for 0.5% of the cases of pneumonia, versus 50 streptococcus pneumoniae blood culture isolates from the same population that confirmed it responsib ... | 1995 | 17214208 |
