| prevalence of secondary dapsone resistance in gudiyattam taluk, the leprosy control area of the schieffelin leprosy research and training centre, karigiri. 1. preliminary report. | a preliminary study of the prevalence rate of secondary dapsone resistance among leprosy patients in gudiyattam taluk, tamil nadu, was undertaken. during the period march 1978 to february 1979, there were 1580 lepromatous and borderline lepromatous patients considered to be at risk of developing secondary resistance. of them, 1431 were examined clinically, and reactivation and/or relapse was found in 114 patients. of these, 46 had a bacteriological index of 2,000 and more. skin biopsies were tak ... | 1980 | 7193654 |
| prevalence survey of secondary dapsone resistance in leprosy in kancheepuram and tiruvannamalai control units of tamil nadu. | a field survey was designed and carried out in parts of kancheepuram and tiruvannamalai leprosy control units in tamilnadu (population 418,000) with the objective of finding out the prevalence of secondary dapsone resistance among 790 lepromatous (ll and bl) cases, who formed the patient population at risk based on certain treatment criteria. using the mouse footpad experiment, 3 resistant cases were identified in kancheepuram unit (prevalence rate of 1.0 per cent) and 11 cases in tiruvannamalai ... | 1983 | 6355650 |
| prevalence of drug resistance in dharmapuri and a. pallipatti areas of tamil nadu. | an evaluation of leprosy control project was undertaken in dharmapuri and a. pallipatti areas of tamil nadu to study the prevalence rate of drug resistance among the leprosy patients. at the end of 5 years of assessment 266 patients were still found to be bacteriologically positive among whom 25 patients were suspected to be clinically dapsone resistant. by mouse foot pad technique the drug resistant prevalence rate was found to be 1.1 per cent in these two areas. | 1985 | 3908580 |
| characterisation of newcastle disease viruses isolated in india. | eleven newcastle disease virus (ndv) isolates obtained from outbreaks of disease in chickens (9) and japanese quail (2) in tamil nadu, india were characterised in pathogenicity tests, antigenically, using mouse monoclonal antibodies (mabs), and other established tests devised to distinguish between different strains. all 11 isolates were shown to be highly virulent for chickens. in indirect immunoperoxidase tests used to assess the ability of a panel of 28 mabs to bind to infected cell cultures, ... | 1992 | 1519416 |
