[Precipitation antibodies against poliovirus in patients with poliomyelitis].

Sera from 26 children bearing poliomyelitis caused by virus tipe I and from 47 cases with paralysis of different etiology (non-poliomyelitic) were tested against antigen of poliovirus types I, II and III with an agar-immunoprecipitation reaction. All sera with neutralizing antibodies with titres of 1:1250 gave positive results in immunodifusion tests. The percentage of positiveness decrease with lower titres. No false positive reactions were found. Immunodiffusion test with antigens of poliovirus were positive in 100% of sera from patients with poliomyelitis and only in 30% in sera from patients with non polio paralysis.

[Depression and Herpex simplex infections].

It has been mentioned that herpes simplex antibodies are increased in depressed patients. In the present study, serums from 21 patients with reactive depressions, nine with psychotic depression, 33 schizophrenic and 15 normal controls were studied, and herpes simplex antibodies were measured. Neither was statistically significant difference found between any of the groups nor could antibody titres be correlated with severity of depression measured by a psychiatric rating scale. The authors review the pertinent literature, and state that although antibody tires do not correlated with psychiatric diagnosis, there still exists the possibility that latent brain viral infections might trigger depressive episodes in some cases.
