[Human toxoplasmosis acquired by ingestion of goat's milk].

Acute toxoplasmosis in three members of the same family was related to drinking unpasteurized goat's milk. The goats were reared, for milk production in a peri-domestic area. Based on indirect immunofluorescent reactions antibody titers greater than 1: 1024 were recorded in eight out of fifteen animals examined and were highest in the five lactating adult females. Toxoplasma was isolated, by inoculation of mice, from the milk of one of these females. Dogs reared in the same house showed no symptoms of acute toxoplasmosis and low antibody titers were detected in these animals. It was also found that the human infections could not have been due to the ingestion of food contaminated with oocysts.

[D-xilose test during 3 hours. Dose standardization ].

A study is made of the behavior of urinary excretion of D-xilose three and five hours after the ingestion of 5 and 25 g of the substance. Twenty individuals were studied, 13 as control having no intestinal mucosa disease and 7 with steatorrhea and enteric lesions histologically confirmed. An analysis of the results revealed that with both doses it is possible to reduce the test time from five to three hours and thus differentiate the controls from the group of patients. No secondary side effects were observed with 5 g, which were present in 30% (6 cases) of the patients with doses of 25 g. In view of the results the use of 5 g in the test is indicated in the 3 hour test. Under these conditions 95% (1, 645 D.P.) for the controls excreted less than 1, 030 g (21%) of the doses administered.
