Shigellosis: analysis of 176 isolations.

Shigellosis, a worldwide epidemiological problem, is caused usually by six serotypes of Shigella. Man is the principal host, often infected by person-to-person contact. The number of reported cases of shigellosis has progressively increased during the past decade. Because of the observation, the authors reviewed all isolations of Shigella species in patients at Howard University Hospital. There were 176 isolations from 53 patients during the 4½ year period of the study. The study emphasizes the scope and distribution of the disease and the effectiveness of isolation and identification procedures.

Ulcerative vaginitis due to Torulopsis glabrata: a case report.

A patient with ulcerative vaginitis is presented. The differential diagnosis included malignant ulcer, chancroid, and granuloma venereum. Torulopsis glabrata vaginitis, which was subsequently proven, responded successfully to clotrimazole suppositories. Predisposing and related factors and isolation and identification procedures are discussed.

Non-typhosa Salmonella species: analysis of 94 isolations.

Despite rigorous control measures by local, state, and federal health agencies, salmonellosis continues to be one of America's most troublesome epidemiological problems. Salmonellosis, a reportable disease, is estimated to infect more than two million persons each year. However, only 10 to 12 percent of cases are actually reported. To study the impact of salmonellosis at Howard University Hospital, the authors made a statistical analysis of non-typhosa Salmonella isolated during a two-year period. The study emphasizes the epidemiological aspects of, and useful isolation and identification techniques for, non-typhosa Salmonella.

Group B beta-hemolytic streptococci analysis of 242 isolations.

Group B beta-hemolytic streptococci (GBS) were isolated from 242 patients at Howard University Hospital during a seven-month period. The source of the majority, 236, was the genital tract of women. In six instances, the organism was cultured from various sites in neonates born of mothers harboring GBS in their birth canals. All of the patients were black. The study indicates that the frequency of colonization of the genital tract by GBS in black females is higher than that reported for white women. Although the sample is small, there appears to be a correlation between genital tract colonization of GBS in mothers and colonization in their affected newborns.

Lupus Nephritis. Correlations between the clinical course and presence of electron-dense deposits.

Twenty renal biopsies from 13 patients with systemic lupus erythrematosus were examined in detail to assess the amount and distribution of electron-dense deposits. Results were correlated with clinical and histologic findings. Mesangial deposits were present when there were deposits in other areas. Subepithelial deposits were not associated with severe renal disease and tended to persist unchanged with time. Subendothelial deposits were not invariably associated with severe renal disease, but, when severe disease existed, large subendothelial deposits were found. These deposits disappeared with treatment and clinical improvement.
