| pneumonia in military recruits. | lower respiratory disease is a major source of morbidity in military recruits, with hospitalization rates for pneumonia more than 30 times that of the non-recruit population. the etiologic agent remains unknown in over 75% of cases. this study prospectively examined the etiology of pneumonia among recruits at naval training center, san diego, california. recruits presenting with cough, fever, or shortness of breath and pulmonary infiltrates on chest x-ray were eligible for enrollment. a standard ... | 1994 | 7870317 |

| sars and common viral infections. | in california, molecular testing was useful in decreasing suspicion for severe acute respiratory syndrome (sars), by detecting common respiratory pathogens (influenza a/b, human metapneumovirus, picornavirus, mycoplasma pneumoniae, chlamydia spp., parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and adenovirus) in 23 (45%) of 51 patients with suspected sars and 9 (47%) of 19 patients with probable sars. | 2004 | 15207072 |
| pediatric encephalitis: what is the role of mycoplasma pneumoniae? | encephalitis is a complex, debilitating, and sometimes fatal neurologic condition to which children are especially prone. mycoplasma pneumoniae, a common respiratory pathogen, has been implicated as an etiology of encephalitis. evidence for recent or acute m. pneumoniae infection has been demonstrated in limited studies of both pediatric and adult patients with encephalitis. | 2007 | 17671056 |
| mycoplasma pneumoniae and chlamydia pneumoniae strain twar infections in u.s. marine corps recruits. | paired sera from 208 healthy marine corps recruits undergoing 11 weeks of basic training in san diego during 1989 were studied by complement fixation and microimmunofluorescence techniques for antibody to mycoplasma pneumoniae and chlamydia pneumoniae strain twar infections. upon entering training, 52.7% and 64.4% of the recruits had evidence of prior infection with m. pneumoniae and c. pneumoniae, respectively. at the end of training, 5.9% of recruits had evidence of new infections with m. pneu ... | 1994 | 20058422 |
| in search of encephalitis etiologies: diagnostic challenges in the california encephalitis project, 1998-2000. | the california encephalitis project was initiated in june 1998 to identify the causes and characterize the clinical and epidemiologic features of encephalitis in california. testing for >or=13 agents, including herpesviruses, enteroviruses, arboviruses, bartonella species, chlamydia species, and mycoplasma pneumoniae, was performed at the viral and rickettsial disease laboratory (richmond, california). epidemiologic and clinical information collected for each case guided further testing. from ju ... | 2003 | 12627357 |
| mycoplasma pneumoniae: a frequent cause of pneumonia among u.s. marines in southern california. | from august 1993 through april 1994, u.s. marines (98% male, median age 20 years) who were hospitalized with radiographically confirmed pneumonia were prospectively studied for evidence of acute mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. overall, 32 (36.4%) of the 88 patients with paired sera had evidence of acute infection by an elevated immunoglobulin m titer (22.7%), a 4-fold rise in immunoglobulin g titer (9.1%), a positive polymerase chain reaction result (11.1%), and/or a positive culture (5.8%). no ... | 1997 | 9271902 |
| anti-nmda receptor encephalitis: report of ten cases and comparison with viral encephalitis. | the california encephalitis project (cep), established in 1998 to explore encephalitic etiologies, has identified patients with n-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (nmdar) antibodies, the likely etiology of their encephalitis. this study compares the presentation of such patients to those with viral encephalitis, so that infectious disease clinicians may identify individuals with this treatable disorder. patients were physician-referred, and standardized forms were used to gather demographic, clinical ... | 2009 | 19718525 |
| target selection and deselection at the berkeley structural genomics center. | at the berkeley structural genomics center (bsgc), our goal is to obtain a near-complete structural complement of proteins in the minimal organisms mycoplasma genitalium and m. pneumoniae, two closely related pathogens. current targets for structure determination have been selected in six major stages, starting with those predicted to be most tractable to high throughput study and likely to yield new structural information. we report on the process used to select these proteins, as well as our t ... | 2006 | 16276528 |
