[Capacity of some streptococcal strains to absorb in a specific manner, fractions of human blood].

We valued the capacity to bind immunoglobulins (Ig) G, M and A, albumin, haptoglobin and beta-lipoproteins of human serum by 80 strains of Streptococcus pyogenes and 30 other Streptococci groups. Specific binding were observed between Streptococci belonging to group A, C and G and some serum proteins. The binding varied remarkably among strains. The elevated capacity demonstrated by some strains to absorb IgG and IgA (and in poor degree (IgM) seems particularly interesting. It seems that this binding does not depend on the growth phase of microorganisms, also if the absorption in some cases can be greater in fixed time.

[Early diagnosis of HCMV infections in patients undergoing transplantation of the kidney].

HCMV infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality following kidney transplantation. Clinical diagnosis is difficult, and rapid and sensitive diagnostic methods are needed since antiviral therapy is available. One hundred-forty-five consecutive kidney-transplanted patients were studied during a period of three months after transplantation. For laboratory diagnosis of HCMV infection, we looked for the presence of pp-65 antigen in polymorphonuclear leukocytes, HCMV-DNA and IgM. Demonstration of HCMV pp-65 antigen by immunofluorescence and HCMV DNA by PCR in leukocytes were efficient methods for early diagnosis of infection.
