Widal agglutination test reaction in patients with fallciparum malaria

Serum samples from 115 patients with falciparum malaria who attended Tharyarwady Civil Hospital during summer and rainy seasons of 1991 were studied. Of these, 71 patients were followed at Day (7) of admission to the hospital. the sera were tested by tube agglutination for antibodies against H and O suspension of enteric fever organisms (Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi A and Salmonella paratyphi B). 3 samples of sera collected from patients with parasite density (1+) and suffering from uncomplicated malaria showed agglutination titre + 1/40 to 0 and H antigens of Salmonella typhi. One serum sample collected from a patient with parasite density (2+) and suffering from uncomplicated malaria showed agglutination titre + 1/40 to 0

Health Risks Related To Family Formation In Mingalataungnyunt Area (1982-1983)

A notable finding of the study is that, when all the family formation variables are considered a favourable pregnancy outcome and child mortality are associated with a small number of well-spaced pregnancies, conceived at intermediate maternal ages, namely, 20-29. Most of the women in this study groups, married at 20-24, and majority of them i were housewives, or non-government employed. The husbands were mostly skilled or unskilled f workers, with a few from professional jobs. The relationship between infant mortality and family formation was still subject to I some distortion, because some of the births expose to the risks of mortality occured, I when risks was higher than the recent births, There is also the likelinood that certain t environmental factors strongly related to infant mortality may have distorted the relationship of mortality to family formation variables.
