Background: Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (E. rhusiopathiae) is generally transmitted into the gastrointestinal tract of animals by the intake of contaminated food or water and causes great economic loss in agriculture worldwide. Some of the Erysipelothrix spp. are the causative agents of erysipeloid, which is an occupational infection in humans. The aim of the present study was to isolate E. rh...

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a gram-positive bacterium that causes erysipelas in animals and erysipeloid in humans. We found two adhesive surface proteins of E. rhusiopathiae and determined the nucleotide sequences of the genes, which were colocalized and designated rspA and rspB. The two genes were present in all of the serovars of E. rhusiopathiae strains examined. The deduced RspA and Rsp...

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), due to Leishmania major, is endemic in different parts of Iran and has long been recognized in most provinces of Iran. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of childhood leishmaniasis in 3 areas at the southeast of Kashan. A descriptive study was carried out on all children referred to central laboratories during a 3-year period. Initial information ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is based on the microscopic detection of amastigote, isolation of the parasite, or the detection of Leishmania DNA. Nevertheless, since these techniques are time consuming and not usually available in many endemic countries, the diagnosis remains clinical. Consequently, such disease may be overlooked because of its similarity to othe...

is a nucleoside analogue indicated as first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced (unresectable Stage II or Stage III) or metastatic (Stage IV) adenocarcinoma of the pancreas [1]. In 1997 Burris et al. reported the results of the pivotal phase III study that showed superior clinical benefit response and improved median survival in a randomized comparison with 5-fluoracil (5-FU) and ...

Additional information has been obtained from other sources. The numbers of man-days saile...

The purpose of this paper is to describe four cases of dermatomyositis in children, which were seen in the Royal Aberdeen Hospital for Sick Children in the past five years. Though dermatomyositis is probably not an extremely rare disease, the number of cases previously reported, particularly in childhood, is not high, and the etiology and essential pathology are still obscure. Dermatomyositis m...
