| high-egg-passage vaccine | Living Flury strain rabies virus at the 180th to 190th level egg passage (embryonate eggs), used for vaccination of cattle and cats, low-egg-passage (LEP) vaccine: at the 40th to 50th passage level, containing 103 to 104 mouse LD50; nonpathogenic in dogs but retains some pathogenicity for cattle and cats.

| oropharyngeal passage | 1. <anatomy> The narrow passage from the mouth to the pharynx, situated between the soft palate and the base of the tongue; called also the isthmus of the fauces. On either side of the passage two membranous folds, called the pillars of the fauces, inclose the tonsils. 2. <botany> The throat of a calyx, corolla, etc. 3. <zoology> That portion of the interior of a spiral shell which can be seen by looking into the aperture.

| nasopharyngeal carcinoma | <oncology, tumour> This carcinoma, although rare in North America, is one of the commonest malignancies in men from Taiwan and southern China.

| nasopharyngeal culture | <microbiology> A sample of nasopharyngeal secretions are obtained via a swab stick (Q-tip-like) and sent to the lab for bacterial or viral culture. This test is used to identify an organism or virus which is responsible for respiratory disease and can also guide the selection of an effective antibiotic agent. (27 Sep 1997) |

| nasopharyngeal leishmaniasis | A grave disease caused by Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis, endemic in southern Mexico and Central and South America, except for the equatorial region of Chile; the organism does not invade the viscera, and the disease is limited to the skin and mucous membranes, the lesions resembling the sores of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. Mexicana or L. Tropica; the chancrous sores heal after a time, but some months or years later, fungating and eroding forms of ulceration may appear on the tongue and buccal or nasal mucosa; many variants of the disease exist, marked by differences in distribution, vector, epidemiology, and pathology, which suggest that it may in fact be caused by a number of closely related aetiological agents. See: espundia. Synonym: American leishmaniasis, leishmaniasis americana, nasopharyngeal leishmaniasis, New World leishmaniasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nasopharyngeal viral culture | <microbiology> A collection of nasopharyngeal secretions for the purpose of incubating a virus for identification. (27 Sep 1997) |
