Diagnosis of granulocytic ehrlichiosis in humans by immunofluorescence assay.

Serodiagnostic tests are widely available for tick-borne diseases. We evaluated a cell-free antigen of the human granulocytic ehrlichiosis agent. Immunofluorescence assay (IFA) with this antigen is as efficient as with the MRL kit and allows a one-step IFA with other cell-free antigens that is useful when testing sera from patients bitten by ticks.

Experimental model of human body louse infection using green fluorescent protein-expressing Bartonella quintana.

A laboratory colony of human body lice was experimentally infected by feeding on rabbits made artificially bacteremic with a green fluorescent protein-expressing Bartonella quintana. B. quintana was detected in the gut and feces until death but not in the eggs. The life span of the lice was not modified. The rabbit model should provide valuable clues to the role of lice in the transmission of B. quintana.

Visible light-cured shoulder-porcelain application.

Direct shoulder-porcelain application to the tooth instead of to the die is accomplished by the use of a visible light-cured shoulder-porcelain mixture and a separating medium. This technique is described in a simple step-by-step procedure involving a maxillary central incisor.
