چکیده
Sll?gested the clinical picture of cholera. . There had been no cases of cholera howevei 1,1 the village in which he lived. Without Raiting to make a diagnosis, 1 gave him two pints of hypertonic saline solution with glucose and adrenalin intravenously. I also ordered 10 minims of liquor adrenalin hydrochloride to be dropped under the tongue even l0ur for six doses. When I saw the patient six hours later. c?niplete reaction had set in, his condition was "Uich better, the pulse tension was moderate. was told that he had had four watery stools ^d had vomited t'hree times since I had seen itti before; also the important fact was ehcited that when he had last vomited he had )r?ught up a round worm.

Human infection with Ascaris lumbricoides is associated with suppression of the interleukin-2 response to recombinant cholera toxin B subunit following vaccination with the live oral cholera vaccine CVD 103-HgR.
To investigate the potential immunomodulatory effects of concurrent ascariasis on the cytokine response to a live oral vaccine, we measured cytokine responses to cholera toxin B subunit (CT-B) following vaccination with the live oral cholera vaccine CVD 103-HgR in Ascaris lumbricoides-infected subjects randomized in a double-blind study to receive two doses of either albendazole or placebo prio...
متن کاملIntranasal immunization with recombinant Ascaris suum 14-kilodalton antigen coupled with cholera toxin B subunit induces protective immunity to A. suum infection in mice.
Animals can be rendered immune to Ascaris parasites by immunization with infectious-stage larvae. The specific parasite gene products that mediate protective responses in ascariasis are unknown. We have identified a cDNA encoding Ascaris suum 14-kDa antigen (As14) and evaluated the vaccinal effect of the Escherichia coli-expressed recombinant protein (rAs14). GenBank analysis showed that As14 h...
متن کاملCholera, Migration, and Global Health – A Critical Review
Cholera is an acute diarrheal infection caused by the ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. The causative agent of this disease was originally described by Filippo Pacini in 1854, and afterwards further analyzed by Robert Koch in 1884. It is estimated that each year there are 1.3 million to 4 million cases of cholera, and 21 000 to 143 000 deaths worldwide ...
متن کاملThe Swine Lungworm as a Reservoir and Intermediate Host for Hog Cholera Virus
Evidence that the swine lungworm can serve as reservoir and intermediate host for the hog cholera virus has been presented. The virus, however, is ordinarily carried in a masked form and must be provoked to pathogenicity by some stress before it can cause apparent disease. In the present experiments, ascaris larvae supplied the provocation needed to induce hog cholera in swine carrying lungworm...
