Enteric infections by Salmonella: occurrence of positive blood cultures, positive urine cultures and high antibody titres]. Zentralbl Bakteriol [A] 1981;249(2):215-9. Maretic Z, Zekic R, Bujan M, Golobic V, Rojnic R. [German] In the last two decades the classic typhoid and paratyphoid A and B became rare also in Istria being substituted by infections of salmonellas of the "minor group". Basing on observations on 418 patients (1970-1979) it was established that in 48.5% of them a significant increase of titers of antibodies, not only for group antigens but also for phasis antigens developed. This, together with positive hemocultures and urine cultures in a number of them, did lead the authors to the conclusion that the invasitivity of these salmonellas (e.g. S. enteritidis, typhi murium, hadar, agona, abony) is greater than previously presumed and that the diagnosis "Salmonella-Fever" or "Paratyphoid" also in infections of these salmonellas is more justified.

Plasma protein polymorphisms (HP; TF and GC subtypes) in Friuli Venezia Giulia (northeast Italy). Anthropol Anz 1995 Dec;53(4):317-25. Fuciarelli M, Reichelt P, Waetjen B, Walter H, De Stefano GF Department of Biology, University of Rome, Tor Vergata, Italy. PMID: 8579337, UI: 96136858 Plasma protein genetic polymorphisms (HP; TF and GC subtypes) were studied in two different areas (Friuli Venezia Giulia and Istria). The results are discussed and compared with those reported by literature on other Italian and ex-Yugoslav population samples. [Excerpt reprinted from Medline, per above hyperlink.] |

Pollinosis in the area of the Dalmatian, Istrian and Croatian coast with special emphasis on Parietariae pollen. Lijec Vjesn 1989 Aug;111(8):263-5. [Serbo-Croatian (Roman)]. Sindik N, Restovic-Sirotkovic M, Skitarelic B, Balic J, Kavuric-Hafner K, Peharda-Sabolic V, Cvoriscec B. PMID: 2811586, UI: 90042995. The distribution of pollen antigens of an area depends on geographic situation, climatic factors and vegetation. Geographic situation of examined area is in latitude from 42.5 degrees (Dubrovnik) to 45.5 degrees north (Rijeka), the climate is Mediterranean and botanically it is Eumediterranean area. In allergologic out-patient departments of Dubrovnik, Split, Sibenik, Zadar, Pula and Rijeka, 300 patients with pollinosis have been tested by the application of the prick method of group allergens of grass, tree and weed pollen, particularly of Parietariae (pellitory) pollen. The object of the investigation was to find out which pollen antigen is actual for the Adriatic area and distribution of Parietariae pollen, regarding the fact that it was almost the only cause of pollinosis in the south part of the Adriatic coast (Dubrovnik), Ninety healthy persons were also examined, 15 in each out-patient department, being the control. The results show that grass pollen is actual allergen in the north and middle Adriatic area, while in the south Adriatic it is without any importance. The number of people oversensitive to trees and weeds pollen is low. The oversensitiveness to Parietariae pollen appears all along the coast, its number decreasing from the south to the north. It is concluded that grass pollen is the main cause of pollinosis, in the area of the Croatian littoral and Istria, important in south and central Dalmatia and almost without importance in south Dalmatia. Parietariae pollen is actual allergen all along the coast, being almost the only cause of pollinosis in south Adriatic area. [Excerpt reprinted from Medline, per above hyperlink.] |

Stings by the sea anemone Anemonia sulcata in the Adriatic Sea. Am J Trop Med Hyg 1983 Jul;32(4):891-6. Maretic Z, Russell FE. PMID: 6136192, UI: 83280507. The sea anemone Anemonia sulcata is the clinically most important Actinaria in the Adriatic Sea. Between 1965 and 1980, 55 patients stung by this cnidarian were seen at the Pula Medical Center in Istria, Yugoslavia. The majority of injuries were inflicted upon the upper extremities, chest, or abdomen. Pain and the appearance of small blanched papules surrounded by slightly reddened and edematous bases were the usually initiating manifestations. Linear lesions were sometimes seen. Vesicles, sometimes filled with serous fluid, localized discoloration, and the formation of bullae sometimes followed. Somnolence, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, muscle aches, and lid edema were reported in some cases. The treatment of these injuries in the northern Adriatic Sea and elsewhere is discussed.
