ABSTRACT
The authors evaluated in 58 patients aged 27-65 years the pre- and postextraction bacteremia after a simple extraction at intervals of 5 minutes, 1 hour, 24 and 72 hours. From the group of 58 examined patients 35 suffered from diabetes mellitus--11 type 1, 24 type 2. Before extraction bacteremia was not found in any of the examined patients. Five minutes after extraction bacteremia was recorded in 50% of the diabetic patients, more frequently in type 1 than type 2. Bacteremia was found in 8% of patients with type 1 diabetes even after 24 hours. The authors recommend to assess in addition to the blood sugar level also so-called glycohaemoglobin which they began to assess regularly in diabetic patients.

The semi-quantitative ASAT screening examination has been used in groups of children over a period of 3 years for detection of VH cases. In these groups, 79% of VH cases, being mostly anicteric and clinically unapparent, were detected in the focus of infection in addition to the index cases. The application of this method resulted in a decrease by about one half in additional VH cases occurring in the focus after the detection of the index case. The semi-quantitative ASAT screening examination meets all general criteria required for a good screening method.

During three expeditions undertaken in March 1977 to June 1978, 797 cloacal swabs were collected from birds of 54 species. Seven salmonella strains of six serotype were isolated from Larus ridibundus (five strains), Corvus frugilegus and Acrocephalus schoenobaenus (one each). Four strains of influenza A (HAV2 NA4V) virus were isolated from Larus ridibundus. For the first time in Czechoslovakia, two strains of Yucaipa paramyxovirus were isolated, both of them from Troglodytes troglodytes. These results are the first contribution to a study on the role of birds as hosts and vectors of different bacterial and viral agents.
