Evaluation of a colour test for rapid detection of Salmonella.

The performance of a colour test (Wellcolex) for rapid detection of the most frequently isolated O serogroups of salmonella (A, B, C, D, E/G) and the Vi antigen was evaluated using colonies grown on enteric differential agar media and in selenite broth. The test had excellent sensitivity (100%) and specificity (100%) with colonies taken directly from primary culture plates. Initial tests in selenite broth showed limited sensitivity (62.1%) but by using high quality media and modifying the inoculation procedure, sensitivity was greatly improved (99%).

[Combined chemotherapy (mebendazole plus praziquantel) in patients with hydatidosis].

In February 1989 we began a combined treatment with mebendazole (3 g/day for 30 days) and praziquantel (1.8 g/day for 15 days) with variable rest periods, in a patients with hydatid disease who had been previously unsuccessful treated only with mebendazole. All the patients were monitored with serological techniques and radiography. Generally the treatment was without side-effects. According to radiography results, there was a reduction in the size of the cyst in 5 patients, in 2 there was no change and 1 patient, the cyst continued to increase in size. Results suggest that the combination of mebendazole more praziquantel could be a pharmacological alternative in the medical treatment of hydatid disease.
