"Transfer factor" therapy in infectious diseases.

The world literature on transfer factor treatment in infectious diseases was examined. Even with the limits due to the incomplete knowledge of the substances, its use is worthy of further study in the field of infectious diseases.

Transmission of hepatitis B to the rhesus monkey.

The rhesus monkey does provide a suitable laboratory animal model for studying hepatitis B virus and for investigating various aspects of interaction between this infectious agent and the host. This species of non-human primate, however, offers a less sensitive animal model for hepatitis B infection than the chimpanzee.

Electron microscope study of a case of Australia antigen-positive chronic hepatitis.

The laboratory findings in a case of Australia antigen (Au-Ag) positive chronic hepatitis in a 4-year-old boy are given. Studies by the electron microscope technique of thin sectioning revealed the presence of 200A particles in the nuclei of hepatocytes. These particles are identical to those described previously in occasional specimens of Au-Ag-positive liver tissue. However, the pattern found here differs from previous descriptions inasmuch as no heavily infected nuclei could be found but almost all nuclei could be shown to contain extremely small numbers of these particles. The significance of this finding is discussed and the danger that it would be easy to obtain false negatives in similar tissue pointed out.
