ABSTRACT

Chryseobacterium species is an uncommon human pathogen although recovered from various sources in the hospital environment. Most infections have been detected in hospitalized patients with severe underlying diseases and who had indwelling devices or implants. Despite their low virulence, chryseobacteria are inherently resistant to many antimicrobial agents. We report a rare case of urinary tract infection by Chryseobacterium indologenes in a young girl, operated for renal calculus and successfully treated with piperacillin-tazobactam combination.

ABSTRACT

A clinical study and immunoscreening was conducted on 363 suspected filarial patients attending the surgery out patient division of the MGIMS, Sevegram. The disease was significantly higher in males (86%) than in females (14%). Majority (52.9%) of the cases were in the age group of 11-30 years. The distribution of cases into three different grades of infection showed, 52.6%, 33.3% and 14.1% of the cases having acute (grade I), sub-acute (grade II) and chronic (grade III) stages of infection respectively. While 73% of the cases had genital manifestations, 23% were with lymphatic obstruction in limbs and the rest of the 4% suffered from manifestations like cellulitis, abscesses, haematuria and chyluria. Filarial IgG antibodies against microfilarial excretory-secretory (mf ES) antigen were detected in 89% of cases with genital manifestations, 87% of lymphoedema cases, 67% of lymphadenitis cases and 60% of cases with other clinical manifestations and 3% of endemic normals.

ABSTRACT

We report a 14 year old boy who had priapism induced by vivax malaria. The onset was latent and course was protracted, refractory to anti-malarial and conservative treatment, but satisfactory detumescence was achieved after surgical intervention.

ABSTRACT

The indirect haemagglutination (IHA) test was standardized for the assay of antibodies against Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus. Glutaraldehyde fixed sheep erythrocytes were sensitized with purified and concentrated JE vaccine (200-300% brain concentration). The JE vaccine made from Nakayama-NIH strain of JE virus was purified by protamine sulphate treatment and by ultracentrifugation in a sucrose gradient. The sensitized cells were quite stable in liquid as well as in lyophilized state both at -70 degrees C and 4-8 degrees C. These cells could be used for two years without much loss (4-8 times loss) in titre. The IHA test was as sensitive as the neutralization (N) test performed by plaque reduction method in chick embryo fibroblasts. The sensitivity of the test was influenced by the source of erythrocytes i.e., from the different sheep from which these were drawn. After standardization of the test, 16 human sera and 18 sera of immunized mice were assayed for antibodies against JE virus by N and IHA tests. There were no significant differences between titres of both human and mice sera determined by N and IHA tests (P greater than 0.05). The correlation coefficient between N and IHA titres for human sera was 0.60 (P less than 0.05) and for mice sera 0.82 (P less than 0.01). The IHA test has been found to be very simple, inexpensive, sensitive and reproducible.
