Infections of Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunts: Epidemiology, Clinical Manifestations, and Therapy
TL;DR: During a 10-year period shunt infections occurred in 27% of the 289 hydrocephalic patients who had cerebrospinal fluid shunts inserted at Children's Hospital Medical Center, indicating that the infecting organisms are usually introduced during the perioperative period.

Immune Complex Disease in Experimental Animals and Man
Charles G. Cochrane,D Koffler +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter summarizes the data presented in two reviews of experimental acute and chronic immune complex disease produced by nonliving antigens and discusses in detail more recent studies.
Book ChapterDOI
The Biology and Detection of Immune Complexes
TL;DR: This chapter describes the interaction of immune complexes (ICs) with complement and with the cells of the immune system, thereby making it possible to identify the antigens involved in immune processes of a great many diseases, including those of unknown etiology.

TL;DR: A large number of these abnormalities are related to Epstein-Barr virus infection, and the use of chemotherapy to correct these problems is a natural progression of disease.

Manifestations of sepsis.
Richard L. Harris,Daniel M. Musher,Kim Bloom,Joe Gathe,Lawrence Rice,Barrett Sugarman,Temple W. Williams,Edward J. Young +7 more
TL;DR: The clinical presentation, relative frequency, and current pathophysiologic understanding of the manifestations of sepsis are reviewed and special emphasis is placed on the cardiopulmonary manifestations, which are examined in a temporal sequence of preshock, early shock, and late shock states.

Experimental glomerulonephritis. The pathogenesis of a laboratory model resembling the spectrum of human glomerulonephritis.
TL;DR: This experimental model suggests that the renal injury is precipitated by antigens with no known affinity for, or immunologic relationship to, kidney, and antigen antibody complexes localize in the kidney, apparently on the basis of non-immunologic factors, and may be an etiologic agent of renal injury.

Observations on Staphylococcus albus septicemia in mice and men.
TL;DR: Porcelain-white colonies of Staphylococcus albus in cultures from patients usually are dismissed as nonpathogenic commensals or as contaminants, but the recent occurrence of S. albus septicemia in three patients after valvulotomy for mitral stenosis led us to reexamine this subject.

Glomerular lesions of subacute bacterial endocarditis
TL;DR: These cases, therefore, are most probably examples of subacute bacterial endocarditis due originally to theendocarditis coccus, but in which the endocardial vegetations have become free from bacteria rather early in their course and are now healing or healed, as claimed by Harbitz and Libman.
