In vivo tuberculoma creation and its radioimmunoimaging.

Since tubercular lesions form an important differential diagnosis in our country, tuberculoma models in mice have been created and imaged using iodine-125 radiolabelled antimycobacterial monoclonal antibodies for the aetiopathological diagnosis.

Balantidium peritonitis diagnosed on cytologic material.

Balantidium coli were detached in a routine cytologic smear of ascitic fluid. The morphologic features were clearly discernible in the Papanicolaou stained smears.

Microfilaria of Wuchereria bancrofti in bone marrow smear.

Microfilariae of Wuchereria bancrofti were detected in seven cases of anemia in persons with asymptomatic filariasis. In three cases microfilariae could not be detected in the blood. Their presence in bone marrow may indicate the ability of microfilariae to cross the vessel wall.
