Serum from 30 patients suffering from serum hepatitis or infectious hepatitis, and serum from 10 apparently healthy blood donors have been included in the investigation. In serum from four of the patients with Australia-SH antigen positive serum hepatitis, the presence of the antigen has been studied during the course of the disease. The agar gel double diffusion test was less sensitive than the other two methods, although the sensitivity of this method was raised by increasing the amount of the serum sample to be examined. The present electron microscopical test seems to be at least as sensitive as the complement fixation test. However, the electron microscopical test may be less specific than previously believed.","PeriodicalId":7323,"journal":{"name":"Acta pathologica et microbiologica Scandinavica.

A section of trachea just above the bifurcation was examined histologically for the presence of destructive changes and leukocyte accumulation in the epithelium and lamina propria. Polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocyte accumulation was a prominent sign after both viral and bacterial inoculation. Viral inoculation produced more frequent and more pronounced inflammatory changes than bacterial inoculation. Disruption of the basement membrane was observed only following virus inoculation. Gross evidence of pneumonia was seen more frequently among virus inoculated animals. The histological changes were progressive with time of survival up to the third day after inoculation. The bacterial titer in homogenates of lung tissue correlated with the number of lobes affected with pneumonia and to some extent with the accumulation of PMN leukocytes in the tracheal epithelium. Bacteria, normally present in the upper respiratory tract, were isolated from a high proportion of virus inoculated lungs. The findings are compatible with the concept that parainfluenza 1 virus infection facilitates a secondary bacterial invasion because of functional impairment or destruction of the epithelium.","PeriodicalId":7323,"journal":{"name":"Acta pathologica et microbiologica Scandinavica.

Use has been made of unabsorbed O sera corresponding to Habs 12 O groups, an O group 13 from Sandvik's material, and an O group 14 prepared with a strain from the present material. 75 per cent of the strains, which originated chiefly from patients in a hospital environment, could be O group determined. 55 per cent of the strains belonged to O groups 6, 2, 5, 3 and 11. Strains belonging to O groups 2, 5 and 6 were the ones most frequently occurring in a hospital environment. The results showed that strains belonging to O groups 2 and 5 were more frequent than O group 6 strains in a hospital environment and that they colonized more easily than O group 6 strains wounds, urinary tract, ears, pleura and lower respiratory tract, whereas strains belonging to O groups 2 and 5 and O group 6 were equally frequent in the upper respiratory tract and in the large intestine (stools). The frequent occurrence of strains belonging to O groups 2 and 5 in samples from blood and central nervous system can be explained by the finding of these O group strains at sites from where Ps. aeruginosa is presumed to advance into the circulation and central nervous system.","PeriodicalId":7323,"journal":{"name":"Acta pathologica et microbiologica Scandinavica.

On the basis of comparison it is shown that the atypical isolates must be considered as urease positive variants of P. inconstans biotype B. The urease reaction is accordingly not an absolutely reliable feature in differentiating P. inconstans from the other Proteus species. This confirms the observations of some previous authors but contradicts the more generally accepted view.

A major part of this incorporation is due to a polynucleotide phosphorylase activity, and is independent of electron flux. But the endogenous respiration is also accompanied by a phosphorylation. When the cytochrome oxidase is inhibited by KCN phosphorylation occurs concomitantly with the endogenous reduction of added mammalian ferricytochrome c. This phosphorylation is nearly doubled when KHCO3 is included in the system. It has not been possible to demonstrate an oxidative phosphorylation on the electron-oxygen transport level in meningococcal extracts with NADH, NADPH or ferrocytochrome c as electron sources. The phosphorylation connected with electron flux, and its enhancement by KHCO3 have been discussed in relation to the CO2 requirements typical for N. meningitidis.","PeriodicalId":7323,"journal":{"name":"Acta pathologica et microbiologica Scandinavica.
