The Chemoserotherapy of Experimental Pneumococcal Infection
1. A single small dose of ethylhydrocuprein (optochin base), which by itself has practically no protective effect against experimental pneumococcal infection in mice, is capable of increasing the threshold value of the type homologous antipneumococcus serum at least fifty times. 2. This effect is proportionately many times greater than a simple summation of the protective effects of these two b...
متن کاملFeasibility of radioimmunotherapy of experimental pneumococcal infection.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important cause of community-acquired pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia. The problem of pneumococcal disease is exacerbated by increasing drug resistance. Furthermore, patients with impaired immunity are at high risk for invasive pneumococcal infections. Thus, there is an urgent need for new approaches to antimicrobial therapy. Antibody therapies take advantag...
متن کاملPneumococcal infection in the newborn.
Two fatal cases of invasive pneumococcal disease in the newborn are reported, both acquired from the maternal vagina. The rarity of vaginal carriage of pneumococcus suggests that this organism has a higher invasion to colonisation ratio than group B streptococcus and maternal carriage or neonatal colonisation should be more aggressively treated.
متن کاملExperimental Human Pneumococcal Carriage
UNLABELLED Experimental human pneumococcal carriage (EHPC) is scientifically important because nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae is both the major source of transmission and the prerequisite of invasive disease. A model of carriage will allow accurate determination of the immunological correlates of protection, the immunizing effect of carriage and the effect of host pressure ...

introduction acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (adem) is an acute inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, resulting in various neurological symptoms. usually, the disease appears following vaccination or systemic viral infections. in rare cases, the disease appears following pneumococcal infections. case presentation the patient was a 27 year-old man who was ref...
