Antiglobulins in endocarditis. 1972

J P Phair, and J Klippel, and M R Mackenzie

Twenty-five patients with endocarditis and serum antiglobulin activity were studied. The antiglobulins were detected by use of the latex agglutination reaction; only eight sera reacted with sensitized sheep cells and one with human O CD erythrocytes coated with anti-CD (Ripley) antibody. Absorption of the sera with the infecting organisms produced a decrease in antiglobulin activity in 10 of these sera. Absorption with other reference bacteria did not lower the titer of latex agglutination in 9 of 10 of these sera. No inhibition of antiglobulin activity by autologous immunoglobulin G was demonstrable. These findings suggest that some antiglobulins interact with the immunoglobulin G-bacterial complex and are analogous to anti-antibodies.

D004696 Endocarditis Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart (ENDOCARDIUM), the continuous membrane lining the four chambers and HEART VALVES. It is often caused by microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and rickettsiae. Left untreated, endocarditis can damage heart valves and become life-threatening.
