The articulated acanthodian Gyracanthides murrayi Woodward from the Lower Carboniferous of Mansfield, Victoria, Australia, is redescribed from original and newly aquired material. It includes the...
Currie, B, Sanati, H, Ibrahim, A S, Edwards, J E, Casadevall, A, Ghannoum, M A
Previous studies have shown that sequential isolates from patients with persistent Cryptococcus neoformans meningoencephalitis can vary in sterol composition and susceptibility to antifungal drugs....
Multiple strains of Streptococcus pyogenes in skin sores of aboriginal Australians.
Carapetis, J, Gardiner, D, Currie, B, Mathews, J D
A molecular technique (random amplification of polymorphic DNA) was used to characterize group A streptococcal (GAS) strains among 194 isolates from 55 swabs from 12 Australian Aboriginal children...
Haase, A, Smith-Vaughan, H, Melder, A, Wood, Y, Janmaat, A, Gilfedder, J, ...
Ribotyping has previously been used for epidemiological studies of Burkholderia pseudomallei (previously Pseudomonas pseudomallei). We show here that random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis...
Sterol composition of Cryptococcus neoformans in the presence and absence of fluconazole.
Ghannoum, M A, Spellberg, B J, Ibrahim, A S, Ritchie, J A, Currie, B, Spitzer, E D, ...
Analysis of the sterol compositions of 13 clinical isolates of the pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans obtained from five patients with recurring cryptococcal meningitis showed that, unlike...

This study demonstrates the presence of epitope-specific opsonic human antibodies in a population living in an area endemic for group A streptococci (GAS) infection. Antibodies recognizing a...
Saccade dysfunction associated with chronic petrol sniffing and lead encephalopathy
Cairney, S, Maruff, P, Burns, C, Currie, J, Currie, B
Background: In chronic petrol sniffers, recent exposure to high levels of leaded petrol may give rise to a lead encephalopathy characterised by tremor, chorea, ataxia, hyperreflexia, convulsive...
Cryptococcosis in HIV negative patients: findings on chest radiography
Roebuck, D., Fisher, D., Currie, B.
BACKGROUND—The findings at chest radiography in HIV negative patients with cryptococcosis are said to differ from those in HIV positive patients. No large series of HIV negative patients has been...
Rheumatic chorea in northern Australia: a clinical and epidemiological study
To describe the epidemiology and clinical features of Sydenham's chorea in the Aboriginal population of northern Australia a review was conducted of 158 episodes in 108 people: 106 were Aborigines,...
