[Serological diagnosis and immunological aspects of Proteus infection. V. Design and trial of polyvalent antigenic preparations].

The main principles of the development of Proteus polyvalent antigen and erythrocyte diagnosticum, including the selection of the initial strains according to the clinical importance of their H-antigens and to the variety of their partial factors, the combination of monoantigens to form a polyvalent antigenic preparation with due regard to the potency of each component and the use of the preparation in serological tests in accordance with its summary potency, as well as the simultaneous loading of formaldehyde-fixed and tannin- or bisdiazo benzidine-treated sheep red blood cells with sensitins, have been worked out. The diagnostic value of these preparations has been confirmed by the study of serum samples from 579 patients with intestinal and urological infections (among them 153 patients releasing Proteus) and 245 healthy persons.

Amikacin (BB-K8) treatment of multiple-drug resistant Proteus infections.

The new aminoglycoside antibiotic, amikacin (formerly called BB-K8), was used to treat 12 episodes of urinary tract infection caused by hospital-acquired Proteus rettgeri strains. These bacteria were resistant in vitro to kanamycin and gentamicin, and infection persisted in most of the patients in spite of therapy with one of these agents. In all cases, the urinary tract infection was controlled or eradicated by therapy, although relapse or reinfection was frequently encountered in these patients with complicated urological problems. No toxicities attributable to the drug were encountered in the small group of patients.

Hyperammonemic coma due to Proteus infection.

Hyperammonemic coma without liver disease or associated deficiencies in urea cycle enzymes is rare. We report a case and discuss the pathophysiological findings of hyperammonemic coma secondary to Proteus mirabilis urinary tract infection.

[A complex vaccine in the prevention of staphylococcal, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus infections in esophageal cancer patients].

An analysis of clinico-immunological data has demonstrated a considerable decline in non-specific and specific defences against such major factors of hospital infection in esophageal cancer patients as staphylococcal, blue pus and Proteus bacilli. Immunization with a complex vaccine including concentrated staphylococcal anatoxin, blue pus and Proteus vaccines was shown to stimulate the said factors of anti-infectious immunity and to be followed by a 4.7-fold decrease in the incidence of postoperative pyo-inflammatory complications. The said vaccine may be recommended for prevention of infectious complications in cancer patients since its administration is followed by a low-level reaction matched by a marked increase in immunologic vigor.
