| [patterns of antimicrobial immunity in carriers of toxigenic diphtheria bacteria]. | it was shown in the passive hemagglutination test (phat) with a type-specific somatic antigen on 147 carriers of toxigenic diphtheria bacilli that the phat titres of 1/80 and over were determined in 64% of bacteria. in the process of carrier state of toxigenic bacteria antimicrobial antibodies were detected in 79% of the children; after the release from the carrier state, the percentage was from 57 to 26, depending on the time lapse after it. among the carriers of nontoxigenic diphtheria bacilli ... | 1975 | 812306 |
| [the use of the cluster selection method for assessing the status of immunity to controlled infections (measles, diphtheria and tetanus)]. | the use of the method of cluster selection in mass serological examination makes it possible to obtain statistically significant results with very low expenditures. the coincidence of the results on the number of seronegative children, obtained by the method of cluster selection, with the results of mass serological examination of all children aged 6-7 years in the district (children found to be seronegative to measles constituted 5.5% and 5.0% respectively) is indicative of the statistical sign ... | 1991 | 1759518 |

| [the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of diphtheria in adults]. | diphtheria morbidity among adult population of moscow is growing. the tests of different modes and schemes of heterogeneous antidiphtheria serum administration have found out that the highest efficacy of serotherapy was achieved with a single intravenous dose. another treatment of diphtheria is hemosorption. widely used in present-day clinical practice hemosorbents provide adequate elimination of the toxin from plasma. the authors analyse the present situation in clinical symptoms, complications ... | 1995 | 8571240 |
| [corynebacterium diphtheriae nontoxigenic strain carrying the gene of diphtheria toxin]. | among 828 c. diphtheriae nontoxigenic cultures isolated in different region of russia in 1994-2002, 114 cultures (13.8%) had the gene of diphtheria toxin (gene tox) and were thus called nontoxigenic tox-carrying (nttc) strains. all nttc strains were found to belong to biovar mitis and formed neither normal, nor "defective" diphtheria toxin. the most of nttc strains (94%) belonged to ribotype "moskva", not occurring among c. diphtheriae toxigenic strains. the incapacity of nntc strains of forming ... | 2004 | 15024972 |
