Qualitative and quantitative examinations of the cultivable bacterial flora in biopsies from recurrent aphthous ulcerations (RAU), experimental oral ulcerations (EOU), and normal oral mucosa (NOM) were carried out under aerobic and continuous anaerobic conditions. An attempt was made to culture yeasts, mycoplasma, and virus from the biopsies of RAU, which were also tested for the presence of herpes virus antigen by the fluorescent antibody method. The predominant bacteria recovered in RAU were alpha-hemolytic streptococci, coagulase-negative staphylococci, and Neisseria. In EOU the main recoveries were alpha-hemolytic streptococci, Corynebacterium, Veillonella, Neisseria, and Haemophilus. In NOM alpha-hemolytic streptococci dominated the cultures. Yeasts were only cultured from one patient with RAU. No mycoplasmas or viruses were isolated, nor was herpes virus antigen demonstrated in any of the RAU specimens. The role of the microorganisms in the pathogenesis of RAU is discussed.

This retrospective hospital study concerns 159 infectious episodes observed in 60 patients with chronic lymphoid leukaemia (CLL) staged A, B or C on first admission. The most frequent site of infection was pulmonary (33%), followed by ENT and stomatological infections (15%), septicaemia (9%), urinary and genital tracts infections (9%), herpes virus infections (9%), skin and soft tissue purulent sepsis (8%), digestive tract (3%) and meningeal (1%) infections and isolated fever (8%). Seventy nine bacteria were isolated, including 35 Gram-positive cocci (Staphylococcus spp. 12, Streptococcus spp. 13, D. pneumoniae 5, Enterococcus spp. 5), 43 Gram-negative bacilli (Enterobacteriaceae 36, Pseudomonas spp. 5, Haemophilus influenzae 2) and 1 M. tuberculosis. The other documented infections were: candidiasis 11, viral infections 19 (including 17 of the herpes group) and 2 parasitoses (1 pneumocystosis, 1 toxoplasmosis). Sixteen patients died of toxic -infectious shock (9 cases, including 1 meningitis) or pneumonia (7 cases, including one chicken-pox). Stage C leukaemia and granulopenia (less than 1 X 10(9) PN/l) were associated with significantly more frequent and severe infections.

Laryngoscopic examination of new-born infants with laryngeal dyspnea or dysphonia usually reveals a congenital lesion, but true infections laryngitis, although rare, does still exist. Three cases are reviewed and the literature searched. Functional laryngeal signs are non-pathognomonic, all three levels of the larynx may be affected by inflammation, and pathogenic agents may be viral (herpes), bacterial (Haemophilus Para-Influenzae) or mycotic. In two of the cases reported confirmation of diagnosis was by local swab under laryngoscopic guidance. Recovery occurred after medical treatment alone and intubation was not required in any of the three patients. These findings emphasize the value of laryngoscopy with swab in all neonates with dyspnea or dysphonia in an infectious context.

This is a survey of 234 pediatric patients in whom staging laparotomy/splenectomy was carried out (1975 to 1981) in the course of the Intergroup Hodgkin's Disease in Childhood Study (IHDCS). Relapse has occurred in 44 of these patients, and 12 have died, 7 secondary to extension of lymphoma, 2 with herpes or pneumocystis infections, 2 with leukemia, and 1 from an unrelated accident. During the period of surveillance (mean 5.5 yr), five episodes of bacterial sepsis (positive blood cultures) have occurred, including two due to Streptococcus pneumoniae; and three, to Hemophilus influenzae. The former occurred in the small group of patients in this series who had not received the prescribed pneumococcal vaccination. No fatalities were associated with these septic episodes. Intestinal obstruction secondary to adhesions (benign) occurred in eight patients and was managed without intestinal resection or mortality. One patient required operative release of an obstructed ureter following laparotomy, and one, oophorectomy for an infarcted (transposed) ovary.

We describe an infant with meningitis and septicemia due to infection with two different strains of Haemophilus influenzae, with a urinary tract infection due to Escherichia coli and in whom herpes virus encephalitis was diagnosed within three days. Acinetobacter calcoaceticus septicemia developed three weeks later. No immunological deficiency could be demonstrated in the patient who recovered finally, albeit with sequelae due to encephalitis.

Respiratory disease is one of the most serious disease complexes affecting beef cattle production. For example, it is claimed to cost the UK industry about 70 million pounds per year. It is usually associated with young cattle and can occur in a variety of situations. It is a good example of multifactorial disease in that its aetiology involves both infection by a variety of microorganisms and a number of environmental factors. Several distinct syndromes occur and a number of microorganisms are thought to be important including the bacteria Pasteurella haemolytica type A1, P. multocida, Haemophilus somnus, Corynebacterium pyogenes, Mycoplasma bovis and M. dispar. Of the viruses, bovine herpes virus 1 (BHV1) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are known to be important, the former also causing the specific syndrome, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) in addition to its involvement in the pneumonia complex. Other viruses of possible importance include para-influenza 3 (Pi3), adenoviruses, bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) virus, coronavirus and rhinovirus.

No antibodies against Salmonella pullorum, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, Mycoplasma synoviae, Haemophilus gallinarum, fowl pox virus, Marek's disease virus, herpes virus of turkey, infectious laryngotracheitis virus, avian adenovirus, avian reovirus, infectious bursal disease virus, reticuloendotheliosis virus, avian leukosis virus, avian encephalomyelitis virus and Newcastle disease virus were detectable in the sera obtained from these chickens in 3 generations at various ages. Antibodies against infectious bronchitis virus were detected in the sera of the 3rd generations at 66, 74 and 108 weeks of age. The performances of these chickens was nearly the same as that of conventional healthy chickens in the poultry industry, with no tendency to decline.

Vaginal infection occurs at some time in the majority of women. Most such infections are caused by Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Gardnerella (Hemophilus) vaginalis. Some less common--but in many cases increasingly prevalent--causes include herpes-virus type 2, papillomavirus, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma T strains, and toxic shock syndrome.

The physiology and flora of the normal vagina and the more common causes and associated treatments of vaginitis are reviewed. Vaginitis encompasses a group of diseases causing inflammatory changes in the vagina and vulva. Treatment of the various vaginitides requires accurate diagnosis, which is hampered by difficulties in culturing pathogens and in resolving the pathogenicity of various organisms. The ability of the body to withstand vaginitis is affected by physiologic changes within the vagina. The vaginitides and associated treatments reviewed include candidiasis and trichomoniasis; Hemophilus vaginalis and other bacterial vaginitis; and Herpes hominis, chlamydial, and atropic vaginitis.

A total of 260 samples of cerebrospinal fluid received from Egypt, the United States, Canada, and South America were examined by frequency-pulsed electron capture gas-liquid chromatography (FPEC-GLC) for tuberculous and other forms of lymphocytic meningitis. Thirty-four of the specimens were culture positive for M. tuberculosis, and four cerebrospinal fluid specimens of herpes meningitis were established by immunological techniques. The compound, 3-(2'-ketohexyl)-indoline, was found in about 60% of the Egyptian tuberculous specimens and none of the culture-positive American specimens. the carboxylic and hydroxy acid FPEC-GLC profiles were used effectively in conjunction with other clinical data to make the diagnosis even in the absence of 3-(2'-ketohexyl)indoline. Herpes meningitis and mixed infections of Myeobacterium tuberculosis-herpes, M. tuberculosis-leptospira, and M. tuberculosis-Haemophilus influenzae produced profiles different from each other and from pure culture cases. The color test for tuberculous meningitis was evaluated, and free tryptophan was eliminated as the source of color reaction. Indications are that 3-(2'-ketohexyl)indoline, in most cases, is not responsible for the positive color reaction. Differences in the clinical and FPEC-GLC data obtained from samples from different geographical regions are discussed.
