[Aseptic meningitis caused by Coxiella burnetti].
Acute Q fever can have multiple presentations but neurologic involvement is rare. We describe the case of a 16-year-old female with severe headache and aseptic meningitis with acute Coxiella burnetii infection.
متن کاملPhosphogluconic Dehydrogenase in Higher Plants.
The barium salt of 6-phosphogluconate was prepared according to the methiod of SEEGMILLER and HORECKER (18). Solutions were prepared for use by dissolving the material in HCl, removing the barium with potassium sulphate, and adjusting the pH to 7.4. Various samples of barium phosphogluconate contained 1.7 to 2.0 AM of organic phosphorus per mg. and 0.01 to 0.03 uM of inorganic phosphorus per mg...
متن کاملFat of Coxiella burnetti in macrophages from immune guinea pigs.
The interaction between Coxiella burnetii and peritoneal macrophages obtained from immune guinea pigs was studied by transmission electron microscopy. Phagocytosis and subsequent fate of ingested phase I and II rickettsiae were compared. Phase I rickettsiae were more resistant to phagocytosis than were phase II organisms. Macrophages from phase I- and II-immunized animals were equally capable o...
متن کاملMetabolism of 6-phosphogluconic acid in liver and bone marrow.
With a purified enzyme preparation from yeast (I, 2), 6-phosphogluconate undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to form the ketopentose, ribulose-5-phosphate, which is converted by pentose phosphate isomerase in the enzyme preparation to an equilibrium mixture of ribulose-5-phosphate and ribose-5-phosphate. While extracts of several mammalian tissues have been observed to catalyze the reduction of...
متن کاملInterrelation of stromal NAD(P)ase and human erythrocytic 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase.
Pentose phosphate metabolism of human red blood cells may be altered by inherited deficiency in cytoplasmic enzymes like glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glucose-6-phosphate:NADP oxidoreductase, E.C. 1.1.1.49), resulting in increased hemolytic susceptibility.' This deficiency may be due either to a mutation at a structural gene or to an alteration in the rate of synthesis or of destruction ...
