[Evaluation of two miniaturized systems widely used in the laboratories for the identification of the "Enterobacteriaceae" (author's transl)].

We have attended to a comparative research between two commercial microsystems: Enterotube and Minitek in order identify the Enterobacteriaceae and a reference system given by the combination of the usual macromethods already used in our laboratory. We have examined 401 bacterial cultures of Gram bacillus which we trought to belong to Enterobacteriums, coming from clinical material (excrements, urine, pharyngeal swabs, vaginal swabs, urethral swabs and espectoration) we have received for the bacteriological diagnosis. 390 of 401 cultures have shown to be Enterobacteriums. The biochemical reactions they have given show that the Enterotube and the Minitek have, with the usual system a good accordance for the following tests: dextrose (acid and gaz) lysin and ornithine decarboxylase, production of H2S and indole, phenylalanine deaminase and urease; while we have some statistically significant discordances for the fermenting of lactose and the use of citrate. We have also significant discordances E/C for the fermenting of dulcitole while the ones of Minitek are acceptables. The notes recommend the use, in the specialized bacteriological laboratories, of the conventional tests.

[Comparison of three anti-nucleus antibody detection methods in different pathologies (author's transl)].

Anti-nucleus antibodies were detected in the blood sera of 232 patients of different pathologies by three diverse methods: a morphological method, and indirect immunofluorescent method and a radioimmunologic method. The results demonstrated the importance of the radioimmunologic method since this method displays anti-DNA antibodies which are specific in the active stage of lupus erythematosus (LE). Forthermore, the immunofluorescent method proved to be highly sensitive; and the morphological method can reveal different aspects of the LE phenomenon (such as nucleus phagocytosis) which can be indicative of an auto-aggressive process. Our survey indicates that simultaneous use of the three methods is advisable.

[Epidemiology of group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus in the school population of Pordenone Province].

During the winter months of 1976-1977, our group carried out an epidemiological study in the school population aged 7 years and 10 years respectively, living in the towns of Pasiano (pop. 6,389) and Zoppola (pop. 7,383) in the province of Pordenone. The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of individuals in the school-age group having group A beta haemolitic streptococcus in the pharynx. The results of the study showed a high incidence of children with a positive throat swad. Of the 284 scholars examined, 107 (45.7% of the entire population examined) were carriers, in the pharynx, of group A beta haemolytic streptococcus.

[Case of Listeria monocytogenes meningitis with a benign course in a healthy adult].

We herein describe the case of Lysteria monocytogenes meningitis. The isolation and identification of the bacteria causing the infection ollowed the antibiotic treatment followed by complete remission. Our data also support the hypothesis on intense immunological response producing a favourable evolution of the disease.
