[Contribution to etiology of otitis media with effusion].

BACKGROUND: Otitis media with effusion is characterized by gathering and retaining of effusion within the tympanic cavity and the structures of the mastoid bone. The aim of this study was to explain the role of immunological reaction in pathogenesis and development of this disease. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The studied group comprised 6 patients aged between 7 and 14 years. The effusion present within the tympanic cavity was aspired and then the agarare gel immunoelectrophoresis was performed. After 24 hours the precipitation stripes of the IgA and IgG were analysed. Blood serum specimens were also collected in the studied group. After centifrugation, blood serum concentrations of IgA and IgG were evaluated. RESULTS: IgA and IgG were present in the effusion taken from the tympanic cavity in all examined cases. The level of IgA was higher in older individuals.

[Coexistence of infection of the oral cavity and stomach and duodenal mucosa with Helicobacter pylori in patients with ulcer and chronic gastritis].

In a group of 260 patients with a peptic ulcer of the stomach or the duodenum and/or chronic gastritis, bacteriological tests were conducted aiming at the detection of Helicobacter pylori in the mucosa of the stomach and the duodenum and in the gingival pockets. The presence of the infection of the mucosa of the stomach and/or of the duodenum was confirmed in 197 patients (75.8%). In this group of patients the bacteria occurred simultaneously in the oral cavity in 77 (39.1%) patients. It was found that the frequency of coexistence of Helicobacter pylori infection in the gingival pockets with an infected gastric or duodenal ulcer was not statistically significant. However, there was a statistically significant correlation between the frequency of Helicobacter pylori infection in the oral cavity (83.3%) and the simultaneous occurrence of extensive infection of the gastric mucosa.
