[Urinary infections in children].

The E. Coli antibody response was studied in 81 infants and children with urinary tract infection. An haemagglutination technique was used. The antigen used was the bacteria present in urine. The correlation between the site of infection and response of haemagglutinating antibodies was statistically demonstrated. In some cases, the antibody titers were followed for several weeks, allowing an appreciation on the effectiveness of treatment. On the other hand, the correlation between serology and some of the results emphasize the interest of these tests in the general investigation of urinary tract infection in childhood.

The reliability and validity of the Trieger tests as a measure of recovery from general anesthesia in a day-care surgery unit.

A group of 23 patients was investigated with the Trieger Test after general anesthesia. The reliability of the test was evaluated by the performance of a control group on four consecutive trials (F = 0.24). The validity of the test was demonstrated by an evaluation of the performance of patients 1½, 2½ and 3½ hours after anesthesia (F = 15.86, p < .0001).

[Childhood vaccinations: current status 1994].

During the last decades, progresses in the field of vaccination entailed a better control of many infectious diseases, even to their complete or nearly complete eradication. However, progresses in this field can still be realised. This paper brings the attention of the practioners on the new trends contributing to improve, in our country, the rate of immunization owing to a better attention for applying the present vaccination schedule and introducing new vaccines.

[Comparison of 3 techniques in the serological diagnosis of human hydatidosis].

Three serological techniques for hydatid disease were compared using 60 human serum samples obtained from 29 patients with hydatidosis previously demonstrated by surgery, 15 apparently healthy individuals and 16 persons with different pathologies. The results obtained with these 3 techniques showed some differences that could associate with the anatomical location of the parasite and the biological stage of the hydatid cysts. The global sensitivity of the techniques was 96.6% for ELISA, 86.2% for IHAT and 79.3 for DD5. False positive reactions were observed with IHAT and ELISA in sera from patients with infection by Taenia saginata. ELISA also showed cross reactions in the sera of four patients with intestinal infection by Ascaris lumbricoides. No false positive reactions were observed with DD5 test.
