[Laboratory diagnosis of pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae].

The authors demonstrated the possibility to use the technique of counter current immunoelectrophoresis, enzyme immunoassay and passive hemagglutination tests with antibody erythrocytic diagnosticum for the rapid laboratory diagnosis of Mycoplasma infection. The rapid diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumonias turned to be possible due to the detection of antigen and antibodies to M. pneumoniae in the circulation with the help of counter current immunoelectrophoresis.

[Microbiologic and histomorphologic characteristics of experimental Mycoplasma-pneumococcus infection].

The specific features of the development of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneumoniae infections in mice have been studied in cases of mixed and monoinfections. As shown in this study, mixed infection is characterized by the mutual inhibition of the proliferation of both pneumococci and mycoplasmae in the lungs, the liver and the spleen of the animals, while the associative interaction of these infective agents in isolated mouse lung tissue is characterized by the inhibition of pneumococcal proliferation only. In mixed infection the early activation of cells of the immunocompetent system is observed, which is accompanied by the development of mainly cell-mediated immune processes manifested as delayed hypersensitivity with the late formation of fibrillogenesis. During the development of mixed mycoplasmal-pneumococcal infection the histopathology of mycoplasmal infection prevails, which is probably due to the early formation of delayed hypersensitivity to M. pneumoniae in the animals.

[Accelerated laboratory diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia].

The effectiveness of countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) used for the accelerated differential diagnosis of pneumococcal, staphylococcal, mycoplasmal and Legionella infections in cases of pneumonia has been shown. The presence of correlation between the results obtained in the bacterial study of sputa and bronchial washings and in CIE has been revealed, which gives grounds for recommending CIE for the accelerated diagnosis of pneumococcal pneumonia on the basis of the analysis of sputa, bronchial washings and blood sera obtained from patients. In Legionella infection the passive hemagglutination test with antigenic diagnostica has proved to be more effective for accelerated diagnosis than CIE.

[Etiological structure of pneumonias in children and adults].

The bacteriological study of sputa, nasopharyngeal smears and bronchial washings taken from pneumonia patients has shown that the leading etiological agent was Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated in the diagnostic titre (10(7) bacteria per ml) in 78.1% of the cases. Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, enterobacteria and yeast-like fungi have been found to play an insignificant role in the etiology of acute pneumonia (2.5 +/- +/- 0.9%). The results of the serological diagnosis by means of the complement fixation test have revealed that, alongside S. pneumoniae, the following infective agents are of etiological importance in cases of acute pneumonia: respiratory viruses (more than 50%), Mycoplasma pneumonia (10%), Chlamydia psittaci (6.4%) and Legionella pneumophila (3.8%). The study has first revealed that, under the conditions of Alma-Ata, serotypes 19, 23, 8 and 4 prevail among circulating pneumococci. This study has also shown that the use of M. pneumoniae antibody erythrocyte diagnosticum enhances the detection rate of mycoplasma infections in pneumonia patients.
