| acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis | <nephrology> A disease of the kidneys that results in inflammation of the glomerulus (the portion of the kidney that filters the blood). Conditions which may cause glomerulonephritis include post-streptococcal disease (strep throat), lupus, syphilis, bacterial endocarditis, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, sepsis, vasculitis, Goodpasture's syndrome, typhoid fever, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, hepatitis or a viral infection (for example mumps, measles, mononucleosis). (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| group A streptococcal necrotizing fasciitis | A complication of infection with GAS (group A streptococci) in which the bacteria attacks and destroys muscle tissue. According to the CDC, 5-10% of people with severe GAS infection develop necrotizing fasciitis. Though the infection can be treated with antibiotics, the fatality rate is close to 30%. This complication often develops as a wound infection after surgery or injury. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptococcal | Relating to or caused by any organism of the genus Streptococcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptococcal fibrinolysin | <enzyme> Plasminogen activator released by Streptococcus pyogenes. Occurs in two forms, A and B. (18 Nov 1997) |
| streptococcal infections | Infections with bacteria of the genus streptococcus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| streptococcal lymphadenitis | A contagious bacterial disease of pigs caused by a group E streptococcus and characterised by the formation of abscesses in the cervical and/or cephalic lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptococcal nuclease | <enzyme> From streptococcus haemolyticus; degrades RNA and DNA producing oligonucleotides terminating in 5'-phosphate Registry number: EC 3.1.30.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| streptococcal pneumonia | Pneumonia due to Streptococcus pyogenes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptococcal toxins | Group of haemolytic exotoxins released by Streptococci. _ haemolysin: 26-39 Kd (four types), forms ring like structures in membranes (see Streptolysin O). Lipid target unclear. _ haemolysin: a hot cold haemolysin with sphingomyelinase C activity. _ haemolysin: complex of two proteins (29 and 26 kD) that act synergistically, rabbit erythrocytes particularly sensitive. _ toxin: heat stable peptide (5 kD) with high proportion of hydrophobic amino acids. Seems to act in a detergent like manner (c.f. Subtilysin), but may form hydrophilic transmembrane pores by cooperative interaction with other _ toxin molecules. Leucocidin (Panton Valentine leucocidin): two components f (fast migration on CM cellulose column: 32 kD) and s (slow: 38 kD). Mode of action contentious. See: Streptococcus, streptolysins O and S, erythrogenic toxin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| acute fulminating meningococcal septicaemia | <radiology> Septicaemia (e.g., meningococcaemia), haemorrhagic necrosis of adrenals due to, septic emboli, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC), most likely to be adrenal haemorrhage and/or calcification (12 Dec 1998) |
| anthrax septicaemia | The presence of Bacillus anthracis in the circulating blood, usually resulting from previously developed anthrax of the skin or lungs. Synonym: anthrax septicaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metastasizing septicaemia | Sepsis, with entry of microorganisms into the blood stream leading to abscess formation at a distance from the original site of infection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| morphine injector's septicaemia | Blood stream infection in an individual who injects him or herself with narcotics, usually intravenously, due to bacterial contamination of equipment used. Seen more often with heroin and narcotics other than morphine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plague septicaemia | Infection with the plague organism, Yersinia pestis, with blood-stream infection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cryptogenic septicaemia | A form of septicaemia in which no primary focus of infection can be found. (05 Mar 2000) |
