idiopathic late-onset immunoglobulin deficiency. clinical observations in 50 patients.fifty patients with late-onset idiopathic immunoglobulin deficiency were studied and the frequency of various clinical associations and complications was observed. men and women were equally affected, although the age at onset in men peaked in the third decade whereas it was more uniformly distributed in women. sinobronchopulmonary infections were common and were caused by haemophilus influenzae. diplococcus pneumoniae, streptococcus pyogenes and staphylococcus aureus: bronchiectasis occurred in ...1976782241
bacterial arthritis in the adult.a brief review of bacterial arthritis as seen at the mayo clinic in the years 1958 through 1973 has been presented with a selected literature review. once considered a disease of children and adolescents, this disease now is seen more often in adults, especially in those who are elderly, are chronically ill, or are receiving medications that lower the host resistance in invading bacteria. the diagnosis must be made early, with rapid isolation and identification of the organism. proper antibacter ...1975809738
bacterial meningitis in navojo indians.an analysis of 219 confirmed cases of bacterial meningitis among navajo indians during a 5-year period, july 1, 1968, through june 30, 1973, revealed that 56 percent were caused by haemophilus influenzae, 26 percent by neisseria meningitidis, 6 percent by mycobacterium tuberculosis, and 6 percent by other organisms. the annual incidence of h. influenzae meningitis (17.7 per 100,000 persons) and that of pneumococcal meningitis (8.0 per 100,000) were much higher than the rates for these diseases r ...1976824672

invasive haemophilus influenzae infections among children in rochester, minnesota: a population-based study.the incidence of invasive haemophilus influenzae infections was studied among all residents of rochester, minnesota, under 20 years of age during the period 1975-1983. the incidence in children under 5 years of age was 115 and 64 cases per 100,000 children per year for all invasive cases and for meningitis, respectively. these rates are among the highest reported for an essentially all-caucasian population in the united states, while the ratio of meningitis to non-meningitis cases (1.1:1) is amo ...19902267187
host and bacterial factors associated with haemophilus influenzae type b disease in minnesota children vaccinated with type b polysaccharide vaccine.host and bacterial factors were evaluated among 86 minnesota children with haemophilus influenzae type b disease detected by active surveillance after introduction of type b polysaccharide vaccine in the state. children were 2-6 y of age. thirty-three (38%) had been vaccinated. there was no significant difference between the frequency of low serum concentrations of igm, iga, igg, or igg2 in the vaccinated and nonvaccinated subjects (13% vs. 8%, p = .5). the presence of the gm immunoglobulin allo ...19892785147
lack of efficacy of haemophilus b polysaccharide vaccine in minnesota.we evaluated the efficacy of haemophilus b polysaccharide vaccine in children in minnesota using a case-control study. the vaccine became available in minnesota in august 1985. during the subsequent 28 months, 88 cases of invasive h influenzae type b disease were identified in children 24 to 71 months of age, the group targeted for vaccination. of the 88 cases, 36 (41%) occurred in vaccinated children. fifty-eight (33%) of 176 controls were vaccinated during a similar period. the vaccine's prote ...19883261350

the risk of subsequent transmission of hemophilus influenzae type b disease among children in day care. results of a two-year statewide prospective surveillance and contact survey.to determine the risk of hemophilus influenzae type b disease among children attending day-care facilities who were exposed to a primary case of invasive hemophilus disease, we conducted a two-year (august 1982 through july 1984) statewide prospective study involving active surveillance for h. influenzae disease and a 60-day follow-up of the children's day-care contacts. we identified 185 patients with primary invasive hemophilus type b disease who were under six years of age and who attended a ...19873491316
prospective surveillance of haemophilus influenzae type b disease in dallas county, texas, and in minnesota.among children less than 12 years of age residing in dallas county, texas, and in the state of minnesota we conducted prospective, active surveillance of invasive haemophilus influenzae disease. during 18 months, 616 cases were identified, of which 600 were caused by type b organisms. the annual incidence of disease was significantly greater in dallas than in minnesota (109 v 68/100,000 children younger than 5 years of age, p less than .001) and was greater in dallas, even when rates for white c ...19873492702
microorganisms associated with pneumonia in slaughter weight swine.the lungs of 334 pigs were obtained from two slaughter plants in minnesota and examined in detail. macroscopic and microscopic evaluation, direct fluorescence for mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and bacterial culture were done on all of them and a subsample of 50 were selected for virus culture. mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, pasteurella multocida and haemophilus spp. were detected in 24.0%, 34.1% and 27.0% of the lungs, commonly in conjunction with each other. one isolate of haemophilus pleuropneumoniae se ...19854016578
