[Analysis of the oral bacterial flora in subjects with periodontal diseases].

A bacterioscopic study of the bacterial flora of 15 healthy and 15 periodontal disease carriers is presented in relation to the possibly pathogenetic role of oral bacterial flora in the development of human periodontal disease. Study samples taken from sulcus and gingival pockets were examined by darkfield microscopy. Results show that bacterial flora from periodontal disease subjects differs from that in healthy subjects in that spirochetes are present and the incidence of straight and motile rods is higher than of coccoid cells.

[The spirochetal etiology of erythema chronicum migrans and of meningo-polyneuritis Garin-Bujadoux-Bannwarth].

Erythema chronicum migrans and tick-borne meningo-polyneuritis Garin-Bujadoux-Bannwarth are caused by a spirochete transmitted by ixodes ricinus. The same is true for Lyme disease, which is the erythema chronicum migrans infection of North-America transmitted by ticks of the same genus. In Europe, this etiology is indicated by demonstration of IgG and IgM antibodies against borrelia duttoni during the course of infection and by immunofluorescence staining of spirochetes in ticks at sites of infection. In the USA, scientists succeeded in isolating from ticks as well as from blood, skin and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Lyme disease. In addition patients showed antibodies against the isolated spirochete. The etiologic findings allow a better causative therapy as well as the investigation of pathogenesis and epidemiology of this multiform disease which may involve skin, nervous system, joints and heart.
