Routine diagnosis of human rotaviruses in stools.
Electron microscopy, immune electron microscopy and complement fixation as methods of detecting rotavirus in the stools of young children with gastroenteritis were compared in a blind study during the winter of 1975-6. Complement fixation was the simplest to perform, was as sensitive as the other two, and allowed a quantitative measurement of viral excretion. Absorption of faecal extracts with ...
متن کاملRoutine culturing of stool specimens for Yersinia enterocolitica.
The sweeping conclusion of Kachoris et al. (3) that routine culturing of stool specimens for Yersinia enterocolitica is not a cost-effective procedure concerns us. We wish to recommend that the word procedure be followed by "from our patient population in Boston, Mass." The authors mentioned the variability of isolation rates reported by three groups of investigators and referred to Weissfeld's...
متن کاملSimple method for culturing anaerobes.
A simple, effective method is needed for growing obligate anaerobes in the clinical laboratory. This report describes a pre-reduced anaerobic bottle that can be taken to the bedside for direct inoculation, provides a flat agar surface for evaluation of number and morphology of colonies, and can be incubated in conventional bacteriological incubators. Each anaerobic culture set consisted of two ...
متن کاملCandida infections among neutropenic patients
Background: Systemic candidiasis is a major complication in neutropenic cancer patients undergoing treatment. Most systemic fungal infections emerge from endogenous microflora so the aim of the present study was to identify Candida species isolated from the different regions of body in neutropenic patients in compare with the control group. Methods: A total of 309 neutropenic can...
متن کاملEstimation of Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness from Routine Surveillance Data
BACKGROUND Influenza vaccines are reviewed each year, and often changed, in an effort to maintain their effectiveness against drifted influenza viruses. There is however no regular review of influenza vaccine effectiveness during, or at the end of, Australian influenza seasons. It is possible to use a case control method to estimate vaccine effectiveness from surveillance data when all patients...
