Latent Infections.

In the contemporary literature which deals with the infectious diseases, the designation "symptomless infection" is used with increasing frequency. The question immediately arises: Do recent observations, experimental and clinical, and new epidemiologic experiences justify the creation of this term? Is it not likely that a new word has been coined to describe the well-known state of "latent inf...

Rickettsiae and rickettsial infections: the current state of knowledge.

New human rickettsial pathogens have been discovered, and long-known rickettsiae of undetermined pathogenicity have been demonstrated to cause illness. Disease associated with Rickettsia slovaca has unique clinical manifestations, including prominent lymphadenopathy without fever and rash. Rickettsial genomes are highly conserved, with reductive evolution leading to a small genome that relies o...

Viruses Associated with Acute Respiratory Infections SUZANNE

Since the discovery of the rhinoviruses and respiratory syncytial virus only a few surveys have been made on the incidence of infections by the different respiratory viruses in the general population and the frequency with which they cause respiratory disease (Hilleman et al., 1962 ; Conference on Newer Respiratory Disease Viruses, 1963 ; Higgins et al., 1963). The present report describes the ...
