ABSTRACT
It is well known that the infections of AIDS, serum hepatitis and syphilis were transmitted by sexual contact. The sera of 66 prostitutes were investigated for determination of anti-HIV by ELISA, HBsAg by IHA and antibodies to syphilis by TPH methods in area of Elazig. The anti-HIV antibodies could not be detected in prostitutes, but HBsAg was positive in 13 (19.7%) and antibodies to syphilis was positive in 6 (9.1%) of total.

Seven hundreds fifty three strains of pathogen microorganisms were investigated for in-vitro sensitivity of cefoperazone and of some other wide spectrum antibiotics. Cefoperazone has found to have very wide spectrum of inhibition against frequently isolated microorganisms from clinical specimens.

Sera, duodenal liquid and biopsy materials of small intestine and of mesenteric lymph nodes were collected from 22 patients with colorectal cancer (intestinal lymphoma and adenocarcinoma) and 10 control patients with gastric ulcer were found in all of patients with cancer. The increasing of B type lymphocytes and decreasing of T cells were detected in biopsy materials and high level IgA was found in the sera and duodenal liquid of these patients. The immunological alterations were not seen in control patients with gastric ulcer. These findings suggest that there is a role of cellular and humoral immunological alterations in the development of colorectal cancer.

Sixty-two stool samples obtained from 0-6 years-old children in Nursery of medical Faculty were examined for intestinal parasites in 1982 and 1983. In addition, for the purpose of detection of Enterobiase incidence, cellophane swab technique was also applied. It has observed that total parasite incidence were 66.6% in 1932 and 44.8% in 1933. It has been indicated that the highest infection rate was belong to two parasites namely E. vermicularis (25.8%) and G. lamblia (17.7%).
