TL;DR: Serum cryptococcal antigen levels were as high as 1:2,000,000 and, despite therapy, often remained elevated andAntigen titers in the cerebrospinal fluid generally declined at an expected rate in the survivors.

TL;DR: During the first twelve months after ciprofloxacin was introduced for clinical use at this institution, 65 new patients were found to be either infected or colonized by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) which were also cIProfl oxacin resistant (CR-MRSA).

TL;DR: Of the quinolones, difloxacin was the least affected by change in concentration of divalent cations and by pH, and changes are not expected to greatly affect the efficacy of therapy of those members of Enterobacteriaceae which have MICs much less than 0.1 micrograms/ml, but might diminish therapeutic efficacy for those organisms such as Streptococcus aureus with MICs of 1.0 microgram/ml or higher.

TL;DR: Thirty acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients with mycobacterial bacteremia documented by Du Pont Isolator blood cultures underwent microscopic examination of buffy coat blood smears, and 15 culture-positive patients had identifiable organisms on Kinyoun- or auramine-stained direct blood smear.

TL;DR: In this paper, 15 male patients from whose urine samples Gardnerella vaginalis was isolated (clinical incidence of 0.1%) were evaluated for clinical signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection and modality of acquisition of the organism.
