    ..Seroprevalence against A. phagocytophilum was 2.3% in Selenge province, 5.6% in Bulgan province, 2.8% in Dornogov province, and 3.0% in Tov province and Ulaanbaatar. We conclude that all three pathogens are endemic in Mongolia...

    Int J Med Microbiol 296:297-301. 2006
    ..All patients were treated with tetracyclines, which led to prompt improvement of the clinical conditions. Anti-platelet antibodies were observed in one of four patients, but remained unchanged after complete covalescence...

    Gernot Walder
    Institute of Hygiene and Social Medicine, University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria
    Emerg Infect Dis 9:1642-4. 2003
    ..The pathogen was identified in a patient with severe pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) by sequence analysis of the ompA gene. Our findings raise the possibility that Chlamydiaceae other than Chlamydia trachomatis are involved in PID...
  6. ncbi Diminished response to tick-borne encephalitis vaccination in thymectomized children
    Martina Prelog
    Department of Pediatrics I, Medical University Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria
    Vaccine 26:595-600. 2008
    ..These changes in T cell subsets and the decreased ability to respond to new antigens in thymectomized children, as observed here, may precede more striking effects such as higher infection rates or autoimmune conditions as they age...
