Treponemal Infections (Bejel)

09/01/2009 - "Treponemal infection has been shown to induce the appearance of antiphosphorylcholine antibodies. "
07/01/1979 - "These findings provide further evidence that induction of immune responses may be abnormal early in treponemal infection and may help to explain the failure of the host to produce antibodies which eradicate the organism during the first 2 to 3 months of infection."
01/01/1998 - "The most likely explanation for the high antitreponemic antibodies is endemic syphilis, or Bejel, which is increasing in this region. "
07/01/2013 - "IgM antibodies are usually the first to be produced during treponemal infection. "
08/01/1997 - "It was concluded that the formation of lysozyme antibodies is only an epiphenomenon in the host defence against treponemal infection."

04/01/1995 - "Because some TSP patients have biological false positive tests for treponemal infections (BFP-STS), we used ELISA to study BFP-STS and anticardiolipin antibodies in 42 Jamaican TSP patients. "

10/01/1986 - "As part of a multidisciplinary study of the population of Bali, Indonesia, 2452 blood samples from people of both sexes were tested for treponemal infection and blood groups. "

01/01/1969 - "[Experimental studies on the masking effect of antibiotics on the course of treponemal infections]."

04/01/1995 - "Because some TSP patients have biological false positive tests for treponemal infections (BFP-STS), we used ELISA to study BFP-STS and anticardiolipin antibodies in 42 Jamaican TSP patients. "

05/01/1985 - "Although penicillin is the drug of choice for all treponemal infections, some individuals will be allergic to this drug. "
11/01/1968 - "Following clinical assessment of these serologically reactive patients, approximately one in 100 immigrant and one in 2,500 non-immigrant pregnant women examined in this series were treated with penicillin; this represented just over half the number of patients with serological evidence of a treponemal infection, a ratio which was similar for immigrant and native born women. "
04/01/1951 - "MINIMUM penicillin therapy in the treatment of treponemal infections by WHO/UNICEF field teams."
05/01/1946 - "Preliminary note on the treatment of bejel with penicillin."
10/01/1990 - "As these lesions respond to penicillin, the possible reactivation of appropriately treated syphilis, or even yaws, should now be considered in any ulcerative lesion in HIV infected individuals at risk from treponemal infection."

07/01/1989 - "Moreover, IgM antibody reactivity with decreased titres can be detected in the later stages of untreated treponemal infection. "
07/01/2013 - "IgM antibodies are usually the first to be produced during treponemal infection. "
01/01/1986 - "Specific immunoglobulin M and G antibodies in the rapid diagnosis of human treponemal infections."
05/01/1983 - "With modern immunological methods of syphilis diagnosis--TPHA, FTA-ABS., cardiolipin complement-fixation reaction, separation of specific IgM-antibodies, paired sample analysis--it is possible to distinguish between antibodies, which are stimulated by prenatal treponemal infection and those transmitted through the placenta. "

11/01/1996 - "Although nonvenereal syphilis (bejel) has been reported to be endemic in some of these countries, the extent of treponematoses in the UAE is unknown. "
01/01/1956 - "It is similar to bejel, njovera and the endemic syphilis reported elsewhere in the world. "
07/01/1989 - "Bejel or nonvenereal syphilis is a treponemal infection that is still endemic in many parts of the world including Saudi Arabia. "
01/22/1955 - "[The tropical treponematoses: bejel, dichuchwa, yaws, pinta]."

01/01/1999 - "Diagnosis of bejel was confirmed by serology, and spirochetes were shown inside mucous patches by biopsy specimen silver staining. "
02/01/1994 - "Treponemal infections in wild European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) from The Netherlands were diagnosed by means of serological tests for human syphilis and histological demonstration of spirochetes by the Bosma-Steiner silver impregnation method in histological sections of skin lesions. "

03/01/1997 - "To assess the acceptability of and compliance with daily procaine penicillin for 10 to 17 days in patients attending an East London Genito-Urinary Medicine Clinic with a diagnosis of syphilis-treponemal infection. "
03/01/1997 - "Acceptability and compliance with daily injections of procaine penicillin in the outpatient treatment of syphilis-treponemal infection."
03/01/1997 - "The notes of 210 consecutive patients attending with syphilis-treponemal infection who had been offered treatment with daily procaine penicillin, with or without oral probenecid for 10 to 17 days, were reviewed retrospectively. "
01/01/1981 - "However, because benzathine penicillin penetrates poorly into the cerebrospinal fluid much higher doses of procaine penicillin are now recommended, or alternatively the use of crystalline penicillin G.A recent WHO Scientific Group on Treponemal Infections has made new recommendations concerning the treatment of syphilis and these will be considered by the next WHO Expert Committee on Venereal Diseases, Treponematoses and Neisseria infections. "

03/01/1997 - "Acceptability and compliance with daily injections of procaine penicillin in the outpatient treatment of syphilis-treponemal infection."
