[Serum complement level (C'H5O) during treatment of rheumatoid arthritis patients].

Decreased total complement serum level (C'H50) was established in 72 per cent of the 78 patients examined, associated most likely with the developing processes of antigen-antibody reaction and the severe course of the illness. The applied treatment with different antirheumatic remedies, according to their mechanism of action, determined the respective changes in the complement level. Indomethacinum and chinoline derivatives induce complement values elevation, whereas the corticosteroids, salicylate and pyrazolone preparations lead to the complement values normalization.

Persistence and isolation of L cycle forms of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in experimental infection.

In experimental infection of rats induced with teh S-form of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae the pathogen was found to persist for a long time (up to fifteen months according to the author's personal observations). Under the effect of the specific and unspecific defense of the animal's organism the causative agent suffered a number of morphologic changes. In the course of the first days of infection the R-form was isolated, and thirty days later up to the fifteenth month forms of the L cycle were recovered from the parenchymal organs, blood, and joints. An electron microscopic study was carried out on the structure of the isolated L-forms. The long-term persistence of the agent in its different morphologic forms may well account for the chronic course of the infection in rats.
