[Clinico-laboratory parameters of bacteremia and sepsis caused by Escherichia coli].

Clinical and laboratory features were analyzed in 277 patients with 279 episodes of E. coli bacteremia, treated at the University Hospital of Infectious Diseases "Dr Fran Mihaljević"c, Zagreb between 1980 and 1989. Patients ranged in age from 4 days to 91 years.

Angiomyolipoma in the transplanted kidney. A case report.

Angiomyolipoma is a very rare benign renal tumor. This paper presents the autopsy finding of an angiomyolipoma in the transplanted kidney.

Comparison of two simple microaerobic atmospheres for cultivation of thermophilic campylobacters.

A comparison of a modification of the spirit burn method and one based on the Fortner principle was carried out on 3474 faecal samples from patients with diarrhoea. Of the 96 isolates of Campylobacter, 47 showed equal abundance of growth, regardless of the method used. By using the spirit burn method, however, growth of 33 isolates was significantly increased, and 18 out of those 33 isolates grew only in the spirit burn method atmosphere.

[Bacteremia caused by beta-hemolytic group A streptococci].

The epidemiological, clinical and laboratory characteristic of group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal (GABHS) bacteremia in patients treated at the University Hospital of Infectious Diseases in Zagreb were analyzed. Of 51 cases of bacteremia due to GABHS seen over the past 15 years, 15 (29%) have been registered since 1987. The mean age of our patients was 25 years (range, 5 months to 87 years); and 29 (57%) were under 18.

Evaluation of the indoxyl acetate hydrolysis test for rapid differentiation of Campylobacter, Helicobacter, and Wolinella species.

A total of 410 well-defined Campylobacter, Helicobacter, and Wolinella strains, comprising 26 named species, subspecies, and defined groups, were tested for indoxyl acetate hydrolysis by a disk method by using disks prepared at the Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, Ga. All C. coli (43 strains), C.

Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli diarrhoea in rural and urban populations in Yugoslavia.

During a 4-month period during the summer of 1985, campylobacters were isolated from 338 (16.3%) of 2080 patients with acute diarrhoea attending the University Hospital of Infectious Diseases in Zagreb. Of these isolates 220 (64.
