beta globulin/fever

We studied whether the consolidation whose serum beta-globulin demarcation showed more than 12% was bacterial pneumonia or not. The materials were the patients with fever (> or = 37 degrees C) and the consolidation on chest-X ray film, the value of serum beta-globulin demarcation was more than 12%

Twenty patients complaining of acute dental infection were admitted to the hospital. Clinical examination, peak of daily temperature for every patient were recorded. Electrophoretic studies of plasma proteins of all patients revealed slight increase of mean value of some plasma proteins (albumin,

A case of the "sugar" clear cell tumor of the lung in a 16-year-old boy is presented. The course of the disease with general symptoms, never reported before, highlights diagnostic difficulties of an extremely rare lung tumor in youth. The boy presented with daily spikes of unexplained high fever of

Generalized but well-circumscribed lymphadenopathy and rash-like skin changes were observed in three men, aged 58 to 75 years. There was a reticular appearance in the chest X-ray. Dyspnoea, weakness, marked weight loss, changing but marked lymphopenia, markedly increased blood-sedimentation rate,

Contact of a purified endotoxin from Shigella fiexneri Type Z with normal rabbit or human serum results in an alteration of its immunological reaction with antiserum, as determined by precipitation in gel. Analysis of fractions of normal serum obtained by zone electrophoresis in starch indicates

A case of temporal arteritis (TA) associated with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and subclinical Sjögren's syndrome (sub SjS) was presented in this paper. A 76 year-old-male was admitted with headache, fever and weight loss in April 1987. Myalgia of upper extremities and of thighs developed during the

In 2006 an outbreak of canine distemper affected 14 young domestic ferrets in Barcelona, Spain. Their clinical signs included a reduced appetite, lethargy, dyspnoea, coughing, sneezing, mucopurulent ocular and nasal discharges, facial and perineal dermatitis, diarrhoea, splenomegaly and fever. Late

During a recent outbreak of Rhodesian sleeping sickness in the Lambwe Valley no asymptomatic Rhodesian sleeping sickness patients were found although 54% of the primary patients had mild symptoms and 9% were stuporous or comatose at presentation. The duration of symptoms was three months or less in

Five Holstein Friesian calves varying in age from 7 to 9 weeks old, were suspected of suffering from an inherited granulocytopathy known as bovine leucocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD). Four of them were examined clinically and at necropsy. The most significant clinical findings were fever,

Five groups of 10 rabbits each were injected intravenously 2 times at 15 day intervals with either whole horse serum or one of its cold alcohol-precipitated fractions. Suitable serological and general observations were made at appropriate intervals before and after each injection. All animals were

Markedly increased synthesis of alpha(2) and beta globulins and alpha(1), alpha(2), and beta glycoglobulins occurs during pneumococcal sepsis in the rat simultaneously with decreased albumin formation, diminished tritiated leucine incorporation into muscle protein, and enhanced excretion of

This study was performed to characterise the response of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and selenium (Se) in bacterial-induced porcine acute phase reaction (APR). Twenty piglets were challenged by aerosolic infection with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (A.pp.) serotype 2, ten piglets serving as
