[Type B Haemophilus influenzae infections: epidemiology, vaccination, chemoprophylaxis].

In the new countries of the Federal Republic Germany the incidence of systemic Hib-infections is lower than in the old FRG. In children under the age of 5 years the incidence of Hib-meningitis is 8/100,000 and of all systemic Hib-diseases about 17/100,000. By Hib-vaccination (PRP-D) severe diseases can be prevented. The recommended chemoprophylaxis with Rifampicin is important in this connection, too.

[Value of a serologic diagnosis of taenia saginata infestation in the human].

In analogy to the immunological method for detecting the presence of cysticercosis in cattle we examined the applicability of the indirect immunofluorescence reaction as a technique for detecting taeniasis in man in 200 sera of tapeworm carriers and 150 sera of controls. Antibodies were found in the serum of most patients (112) infected by Taenia saginata, the test, however, showed widely different titer levels: in 44% of the patients we found false negative and in 1.3% false positive results. Serological investigations on the course of infection were carried out for 21 patients. Differing titer levels and titer variations show the limited applicability of this method in medicine, The importance and desirability of applying immunological techniques for diagnosing Taenia saginala are discussed.
