Imported leishmaniasis in Australia.

Abstract: To the Editor in Chief: Stark and colleagues 1 reported a series of imported leishmaniasis cases diagnosed in Sydney, Australia Although we agree with its importance, given the context of travel and migration increases between endemic and nonendemic areas, we would like to discuss some misleading messages in their article and its relevance for travel medicine They stated that humans and vertebrates are reservoirs with more than 25 species capable of producing human disease, but in fact, 17 species have been confirmed: 11 in the New World ( Viannia and Leishmania subgenuses), 5 in the Old World ( Leishmania subgenus), and 1 in both Old and New World, Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum / chagasi 2Leishmaniases are zoonoses with important reservoirs, but humans should not be pragmatically included there The species reported in human infections are …

Evaluation of modified New York City carbohydrate medium for the speciation of Neisseria.

Abstract: A comparative study of modified New York City carbohydrate medium, Minitek (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.) and cystine-trypticase agar was conducted for determination of the relative accuracies of these media in the identification of pathogenic Neisseria. Of 170 isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, 169 were correctly identified by New York City carbohydrate media, 131 by Minitek, and 117 by cystine-trypticase agar. Of the 72 isolates of Neisseria meningitidis tested, all were accurately speciated by New York City carbohydrate media, whereas Minitek and cystine-trypticase agar identified 61 and 49 strains, respectively. The greater reliability of New York City carbohydrate media is accompanied by advantages not offered by the other media.

Subgrouping with psychiatric inpatients in group psychotherapy: linking dependency and counterdependency.

Abstract: A model of inpatient group psychotherapy that focuses on two frequently observed patient subgroups reflecting contrasting attitudes toward authority is presented. The counterdependent subgroup overly values autonomy, opposes unit restrictions, and rejects treatment. The dependent subgroup tends to accept the unit's treatment and structure but is overly passive. In this model these attitudes are addressed in order to help patients adapt to the unit and to facilitate discharge. The author describes a three-stage group designed to help patients achieve these goals.
