The prevalence of chronicChlamydia pneumoniaeinfection as detected by polymerase chain reaction in pharyngeal samples from patients with ischaemic heart disease (1998)

Gabriel, A.S., Gnarpe, H., Gnarpe, J., Hallander, H., Nyquist, O., Martinsson, A.

Aims Cross-sectional serological studies have suggested an association between ischaemic heart disease and infections fromChlamydia pneumoniaeandHelicobacter pylori. We therefore sought to find out...

Increased fibrinogen levels are associated with persistentChlamydia pneumoniaeinfection in unstable coronary artery disease (1998)

Toss, H., Gnarpe, J., Gnarpe, H., Siegbahn, A., Lindahl, B., Wallentin, L.

Aim Increased levels of acute phase proteins, e.g. fibrinogen, are related to a poor outcome in unstable coronary artery disease, but the cause of inflammation is unknown. We therefore investigated...

An increase in sudden unexpected cardiac deaths among young Swedish orienteers during 1979-1992 (1996)

Wesslén, L., Påhlso, C., Lindquist, O., Hjelm, E., Gnarpe, J., Larsson, E., ...

Background Sixteen cases of sudden unexpected cardiac death, 15 males and one female, are known to have occurred among young Swedish orienteers from 1979 to 1992, of which seven cases occurred...

In vitro activities of azithromycin and doxycycline against 15 isolates of Chlamydia pneumoniae.

Gnarpe, J, Eriksson, K, Gnarpe, H

Fourteen isolates of Chlamydia pneumoniae, 12 from clinically ill patients and 2 from subjectively healthy individuals from an area within a 400-km proximity of Gävle, Sweden, and strain IOL-207,...

Stimulation of granulocyte functions in vitro by imipenem and the renal enzyme inhibitor MK 0791.

Gnarpe, H, Belsheim, J, Blomqvist, C, Lundbäck, A

Imipenem and the renal enzyme inhibitor MK 0791 (dehydropeptidase-I) were tested separately and in a 1:1 combination to delineate their effects on granulocyte functioning. Each component, as well as...

Chemoattractive factors from Escherichia coli: individual strain variation.

Belsheim, J, Gnarpe, H, Kaijser, B

Thirty-five different Escherichia coli strains isolated from patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria, cystitis, or pyelonephritis were investigated regarding their capacity to stimulate leukocyte...

Possible inhibition of N. gonnorrhoeae by C. albicans. A clinical study.

Wallin, J, Gnarpe, H

A probably sifnificant difference (p smaller that 0.05) in the occurrence of gonorrhoea was found between women with and without concomitant C. albicans infection. Although this difference could...

Ornidazole: a new antiprotozoal compound for treatment of Trichomonas vaginalis infection.

Sköld, M, Gnarpe, H, Hillström, L

A new anti-protozoal compound, ornidazole, a derivative of nitroimidazole, was given in a single 2 g dose to 20 women with Trichomonas vaginalis infection. All the women were cured, but they suffered...

Chlamydia trachomatis among sexually active teenage girls: influence of sampling location and clinical signs on the detection rate.

Rahm, V A, Odlind, V, Gnarpe, H

A total of 707 cultures for Chlamydia trachomatis were obtained from healthy teenage girls attending an adolescence clinic for family planning. Apart from sampling from the endocervix, specimens were...

Expanded gold standard in the diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis in a low prevalence population: diagnostic efficacy of tissue culture, direct immunofluorescence, enzyme immunoassay, PCR and serology.

Thejls, H, Gnarpe, J, Gnarpe, H, Larsson, P G, Platz-Christensen, J J, Ostergaard, L, ...

OBJECTIVE--To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of chlamydia culture, direct immunofluorescence (DFA), direct enzyme immunoassay (EIA), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and serology by defining...

Diagnostic efficacy of chlamydial antibodies in cervical secretions from pregnant women and adolescent girls.

Thejls, H, Rahm, V A, Gnarpe, J, Gnarpe, H

OBJECTIVE--To assess the prevalence of cervical antibodies to Chlamydia trachomatis in two different populations and to correlate the findings to culture, direct fluorescent antibody test (DFA) and...
