Household pets and human infections.

Because many Americans keep a wide variety of household pets, they are exposed to the many pet-associated diseases that are transmitted in various ways, including through bites, scratches, saliva, excreta, and respiration. This article briefly describes a number of the illnesses that may be acquired from household pets.

[Causative agent of benign lymphoreticulosis].

A causative agent ("D" strain) was isolated from the contents of an affected lymph node of a patient with beningn lymphoreticulosis. According to the biological and antigenic properties this agent is identified with Chlamydia but is a distinct species. The chlamydial etiology of benign lymphoreticulosis is determined also by the complement-fixation test with sera from convalescents.

Cat scratch disease with involvement of intra-parotid lymph nodes. Case report.

A case of cat scratch disease, presenting as a parotid tumor, is described. In its oculo-glandular form, this disease may be associated with swelling of the intraparotid lymph nodes, and the possibility should be considered in the differential diagnosis of parotid tumors in children. A careful history, and skin testing with cat scratch antigen, may aid in the diagnosis of this condition.

Cat-Scratch Disease↗

Macrophages (histiocytes) in various reactive and inflammatory conditions express different antigenic phenotypes.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether human tissue macrophages (M phi s) in various inflammatory/reactive conditions express different immunophenotypes. Using a large panel of monoclonal antibodies to monocyte/M phi-related antigens and a frozen-section immunoperoxidase technique, the following conditions were studied: granulomatous inflammation of unknown etiology, sarcoidosis, cat-scratch fever, toxoplasmosis, Gaucher's disease, and juvenile xanthogranulomas. The results show that there is immunophenotypic variation of the M phi s among the various inflammatory/reactive conditions. For example, the M phi s in cat-scratch fever are nearly unique in the expression of the "early inflammation" antigen identified by antibody 27E10, and the M phi s in juvenile xanthogranulomas, unlike those in most of the other conditions, lacked the antigen detected by antibody 25F9. The M phi s in Gaucher's disease differed from those in the other disorders by the combined absence of CD11b, CD14, G16/1, CD1a, CD25, and CD30. The inflammatory/reactive M phi s also exhibited differences from those in "normal" tissues, namely, a tendency toward acquisition of the antigens identified by antibodies Mac 387 and G16/1 and the more uniform expression of the "activation" antigens CD25, CD30, and CD71. The antigenic variations described here probably reflect differences in antigenic stimuli and M phi function. In addition to the possible biologic implications, this M phi immunophenotypic diversity may have practical diagnostic applications.
