[Food poisoning caused by Salmonella rods]. / Zatrucia pokarmowe spowodowane przez paleczki z rodzaju Salmonella.

Epidemiologic and clinical analysis concerned the cases of acute gastroenteritis caused by Salmonella rods. It has proved that the most frequent etiologic factor was Salmonella enteritidis. Also a clinical process of salmonellosis was analysed. It proved that septic forms of the disease made up 2.2% of cases. Examining antibiotic-sensitivity of Salmonella strains proved that the biggest group of them was sensitive to Biseptol.

[Evaluation of the value of determining lysozyme levels in cerebrospinal fluid in myeloencephalitis]. / Ocena przydatnosci oznaczania stezenia lizozymu w plynie mózgowo-rdzeniowym w przebiegu zapalen opon mózgowo-rdzeniowych.

The study aimed at assessing the value lysozyme assay in CFS as indicator of the damage to blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier and intensification of inflammatory process in the course of meningitis. The study involved 20 patients with suppurative and 66 with viral meningitis. Control group included 26 patients without nervous system disease. To estimate the degree of blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier damage albumin and lysozyme indicators were calculated. It was proved, that CSF lysozyme levels are bigger in the suppurative meningitis than in viral meningitis. According to the author, CSF lysozyme levels the value of lysozyme indicator may inform on intensification of the inflammatory process and the degree of blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier damage in suppurative meningitis, whereas in the viral meningitis they inform on degree of blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier damage, only.
