Reference values for immunoglobulin kappa and lambda light chains and the kappa/lambda ratio in children's serum.

We analyzed 708 serum samples from healthy children and adolescents by immunonephelometry to obtain reference values for the immunoglobulin kappa (kappa) and lambda (lambda) light chains and for their ratio at a time of life when immunoglobulin synthesis is maturing and continually being stimulated. The lambda chain concentration that is to be maintained throughout the child's life is reached very early, just after 1 year, whereas the concentration of the kappa chains, which increases gradually, reflects the concentration of the immunoglobulins as a whole. These reference values may be useful for studying kappa and lambda chains in illnesses involving the immune system in children.

[Diagnosis of bacterial infections of the urinary tract].

The aetiopathogenesis of bacterial infections of the urinary ways and the techniques used to isolate and identify the bacteria present in the urine are considered. The following aspects are covered: 1) Introduction (Clinical microbiology); 2) Urine and bacterial multiplication; 3) Diagnostic techniques in urinary way infections; 4) Urine leucocyte count; 5) Urine bacteria count; 6) Guidelines for applying bacteriological research; 7) Recurrent infections of the urinary ways; 8) Diagnosis of the site of infection; 9) Bacterial indentification and incidence.

[Effectiveness of cystolusis with rifamycin SV in patients with permanent catheters].

It has tested the effect of Rifamicina SV in the cystolusis employed on patients with permanent catheter: compared to the treatment with physiological solution this one, with Rifamicina SV, has showed, in most cases, the lower incidence of urine bacteria and their quick negative answer. This by an only local theatment. During the experiment has also been showed the possibility for the Rifamicina SV of selecting the Citrobacter as a resistant bacterial species.

[Bacterial meningitis. Study from 1970 to 1988 at the Regina Margherita Children's Hospital in Turin].

From 1970 to 1988, 330 cases of bacterial meningitis were diagnosed at the Children's Hospital Regina Margherita of Turin. Neisseria meningitidis was the most frequent cause of bacterial meningitis (45%); meningitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae increased from 4% in 1970-1983 to 19% in 1984-1988, and meningitis with pathogen unknown decreased from 28% in 1970-1983 to 7% in 1984-1988. The neonatal meningitis in 1984-1988 were caused by Streptococcus B in 90% of cases.

[Requisition, reply forms and data recording (author's transl)].

A system for the automatic handling of laboratory data is described with particular reference to the microbiology module. The system is based on "real time" operation which permits acquisition of data as soon as they are generated; computation as soon as the necessary elements became available, production and storage of results as soon as computed.
