The Carrier State in Pertussis
Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1986In order to determine whether healthy adults can be of importance for the spread of pertussis the nasopharyngeal flora of 391 healthy individuals working in close contact with children was investigated during the height of a pertussis epidemic. Only 1 carrier of Bordetella pertussis was found, even though all individuals were exposed to the organism ...

THE CARRIER STATE IN VIRAL HEPATITIS
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1954VIRAL HEPATITIS B Although considerable presumptive evidence concerning carriers of hepatitis virus B (serum hepatitis virus) can be seen in retrospect to have accumulated since 1920, when Stokes and others 1 suggested that an infectious agent was responsible for liver injury following parenteral injections of bismuth or arsenicals in the treatment of

Group A Streptococcal Carrier State
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1988Sir .—Gerber et al 1 raise important issues pertaining to identification of the group A streptococcal (GAS) carrier state. We agree that antistreptococcal antibody titers are of little value in distinguishing GAS carriers with intercurrent viral pharyngitis from patients with acute GAS infection.

Carrier State in Human Acatalasemia
Science, 1959The heterozygous carrier state of a rare hereditary disease, acatalasemia, has been defined biochemically. Affected homozygotes have no blood catalase activity, whereas heterozygotes show activities intermediate between this inactivity and the activity of normal controls, without overlap. Pedigrees show a high frequency of consanguineous marriages.

The Group A Streptococcal Carrier State
American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1988Streptococcal infection usually is defined as a positive throat culture with a serologic response to group A beta-hemolytic streptococci, and a patient with a positive throat culture and no serologic response is a streptococcal carrier. Studies suggest that streptococcal carriers should show little clinical response to antibiotic therapy when compared ...

Detection of the Carrier State for Classic Hemophilia
New England Journal of Medicine, 1973Abstract Carriers of classic hemophilia may be detected by comparison of levels of antihemophilic factor as measured by clot-promoting assay (i.e., functionally active factor) and by quantitative immunoelectrophoresis (i.e., both functionally active and inactive factor). This technic has detected over 90 per cent of a group of known carriers.

LOWE'S SYNDROME: A SEARCH FOR THE CARRIER STATE
Pediatrics, 1969An attempt to detect the female carriers of this X-linked disease has been carried out in three families, including two whose affected male infants were subjects of the original report of this syndrome. No lens opacities were found in two sets of parents. In the third family both parents had multiple small opacities.

Carrier State In Relation to Streptococcal Disease
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1964The incidence of streptococcal illness is known to decrease markedly with adulthood (Schwentker et al11).Presumably one factor in this decrease is the development of active immunity during childhood. More than 35 types of group A hemolytic streptococci have been identified (Swift et al13), and the careful work of Quinn and Lowry9indicates that some of ...

SCREENING FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS CARRIER STATE
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1999Carrier screening for cystic fibrosis as part of reproductive health care, including prenatal care, is not the standard of practice at this time. However, a recent National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Conference recommended that cystic fibrosis carrier screening should be offered to adults with a family history of cystic fibrosis ...

Control of Nasal-Staphylococcal-Carrier States
New England Journal of Medicine, 1959THE increasing incidence of staphylococcal infections in hospitals has resulted in numerous studies of the various aspects contributing to the problem and the identification of some of the sources of such infections. The nasal-carrier state of hospital personnel, hospital patients and the general population has been extensively reported.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ...
