05/01/1995 - "Focal infection was clearly visualized by Tc-99m IgG scintigraphy within 1 h postinjection. "
09/01/1993 - "To evaluate the usefulness of 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled leukocytes and 99mTc-labeled polyclonal human immunoglobulin G (Technescan HIG) in the diagnosis of focal purulent disease, 31 comparative scintigraphies were done in 30 patients with known or strongly suspected focal infection. "

05/01/1995 - "Tc-99m labeled IgG also concentrated in terpentine-induced aseptic inflammatory lesion with a target-to-blood ratio of 4:1, bone 6:1 and normal muscle about 10:1. These findings suggest potential value of Tc-99m IgG as an imaging agent for the early detection of focal infection and inflammation."

09/01/2020 - "Recent studies have focused on the relationship between the pathophysiology of IgA nephropathy and tonsillar focal infection, and the efficacy of tonsillectomy with methylprednisolone pulse therapy in children has been demonstrated. "

06/01/1986 - "One child with meningitis and 9 patients with focal infections at other sites were treated with cefotaxime and were cured or improved."
01/01/1991 - "We therefore consider intraarterial administration of cefotaxime in conjunction with prostaglandin E, and with simultaneous local surgery of the focal infection, to be a promising concept. "

04/01/1994 - "This reagent has been extensively studied in humans with focal infection and has been shown to be both safe and effective. "

03/01/1997 - "We speculate that this 'IgE bullous disease' resulted from IgE-mediated hypersensitivity induced by focal infection, both patients initially being helped by antibiotics. "

01/01/1996 - "These results indicate that tonsillectomy is often an effective treatment for tonsillar focal infection. "
11/01/1990 - "Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) has long been regarded as a tonsillar focal infection because tonsillectomy is so effective in its treatment. "
03/01/1992 - "Because of the efficacy of tonsillectomy, palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) has been regarded as a tonsillar focal infection. "
01/01/1983 - "However, since tonsillectomy has been found to improve the symptoms and cure the disease, some researchers have suspected PPP to be a tonsillar focal infection. "
01/01/2013 - "Extracapsular tonsillectomy developed around the turn of the 20th century with the purpose of avoiding remnants - the 'focal infection theory' was prevailing. "

06/01/1994 - "Five episodes of pneumococcal bacteremia occurred in the HIV-infected patients; all resolved promptly after treatment was begun, and no serious focal infections developed. "
01/01/2021 - "By contrast, we sometimes see patients whose skin/joint symptoms do not improve after treatment of focal infection, whose focus of infection cannot be identified even in a detailed examination, and/or who refuse tonsillectomy even if strongly recommended. "
