Abstract
Suspected dengue cases in Japan during the period of 1985-1995, 173 cases with unknown febrile illness entering or returning from mostly southeast Asia, were tested by serology and RT-PCR gene amplification. Seventy seven cases were confirmed by a significant rise of dengue 2 (Den 2) HI antibody in paired sera or by detection of HI antibody titer higher than 1:320 in single serum. The other 3 cases with antibody levels not higher than 1:80 in paired sera and 12 cases with an antibody 1:160 in single sera were positively suspected of dengue infection but were not confirmed. Countries of origin of confirmed cases were Thailand (39 cases), Philippinse (15), India (13), and Indonesia (9). Sera of dengue cases showed high degrees of cross reactivity of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in HI test but not in IgM capture ELISA. Sera of confirmed JEV-infected cases, however, showed practically no cross reactivity to Den 1 4 in HI test, suggesting unilateral cross reactivity of HI antibody. RT-PCR detected the Den 1 genome in sera of 3 cases obtained within 3 days after onset and the Den 2 genome in serum of case 4 days after onset. Although the number is limited, 92 (53%) out of 173 cases of febrile illness of unknown etiology entering Japan from tropical countries were either confirmed or positively suspected to be dengue fever. Considering possibilities of under reporting, importations of tropical viral infections should be bigger in number and will necessitate our intensified alertness.

Abstract
Prulifloxacin (PUFX), a new quinolone antimicrobial agent, was administered to a total of 122 patients and carriers to investigate its clinical efficacy, safety and usefulness in infectious enteritis (bacillary dysentery, enteritis caused by Salmonella spp. and enteropathogenic E. coli, cholera and so on). In addition, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of UFX (active compound) was determined against each clinical isolate, and compared with that of ciprofloxacin (CPFX), ofloxacin (OFLX), tosufloxacin (TFLX) and nalidixic acid (NA). The correlation between the concentration of UFX in feces and the change of the fecal microflora were also investigated when PUFX was administered to the patients with acute infectious enteritis. A daily dose of 400 mg of PUFX was administered orally in two divided doses (morning and evening) for 5 days, with the exception of 7 days administration against salmonella enteritis and 3 days administration against cholera. 84 cases were adapted for evaluating the usefulness. The clinical efficacy was 100% in all the enteritis except salmonella enteritis, in which it was 88.9% (8/9 cases). On the bacteriological efficacy, the elimination rate was 100% in all isolates except Salmonella spp., in which it was 75.0% (12/16 cases). As for the adverse effect, uriticaria in moderate degree was observed in 1 (0.9%) of 109 cases. Abnormal changes in laboratory findings were seen in 3 (3.0%) of 100 cases, consisting of 1 with eosinophilia and 2 with elevated S-GPT, although they were all slight in degree. The usefulness rate was 65.5% (55/84 cases) for "very useful" and 95.2% (80/84 cases) for "very useful" and "useful". MIC90 of UFX against Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., E. coli and V. cholerae, was 0.025, 0.05, 0.025 and 0.05 microgram/ml, respectively. These values were the same as those of CPFX and TFLX, and superior to OFLX and NA. UFX concentrations in feces followed by administration of PUFX in 3 cases with acute infectious enteritis were higher than that of MIC90 of UFX against Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., E. coli and V. cholerae. The changes of the fecal microflora, which influence the efficacy and safety of PUFX, were not observed.

Abstract
Persistent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection induces an immuno-suppressive state and therefore malignant tumors are a very common complication. Hepatocellular carcinoma is very rare, however, because it is associated with chronic liver disease by the persistent infection of hepatitis B or C virus (HBV or HCV). We reported a case of HCC with HIV infection who had no evidence of HBV or HCV infection, and that had a rapid growth and active pulmonary metastases. Pathological findings of the resected liver showed moderately differentiated HCC and no chronic liver disease. Despite efforts to find potential HBV integration in tumor and non-tumor tissue, none was observed. To our knowledge, this is the first report of HCC in HIV-infected patient with no evidence of hepatitis virus infection.

Abstract
A clinical study was carried out on pazufloxacin (PZFX) in 137 patients including shigellosis, Salmonella enteritis, enteropathogenic Esherichia coli enteritis and cholera, and carriers of these pathogens. Antibacterial activity of PZFX against clinical isolates, fecal concentration of PZFX and effects of PZFX on fecal microflora were also investigated. The overall clinical efficacy rate was 97.2%. The bacteriological efficacy rates were 98.2% against Shigella spp., 81.8% against Salmonella spp., 50% against Vibrio cholerae O1, and 100% against E. coli, V. parahaemolyticus, Aeronomas spp., Plesionomas shigelloides and V. cholerae non-O1, respectively. Side effect (epigastralgia) was observed in 1 of 130 cases (0.8%). The rate of abnormal laboratory findings was 11.2% (11/98). These were mainly elevation of GOT and/or GPT and increased eosinophils. The clinical usefulness rate was 95.2%. The MIC90 values of PZFX against Shigella spp., Salmonella spp. and E. coli were 0.025, 0.025 and 0.025 micrograms/ml, respectively. The results of fecal drug concentration and the effects on fecal microflora in one patient were compatible with those obtained in healthy volunteers.

Abstract
The efficacy, safety and usefulness of balofloxacin (BLFX) for patients with acute infectious enteritis and the carriers mainly shigellosis, were investigated. The drug was administered at a daily dose of 200 mg twice a day for 3 days to patients with cholera, 7 days to patients with Salmonella enteritis and 5 days to patients with other conditions of infectious enteritis including shigellosis; 1. The efficacy was analyzed in 89 of the 135 patients who received the administration (43 patients with shigellosis, 14 with Salmonella enteritis, 8 with enteropathogenic/ enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli enteritis, 3 with cholera, 7 with enteritis with other pathogenic bacteria, 6 with polymicrobial infectious enteritis and 8 with acute enteritis that was pathogen-negative). 2. In patients bearing symptoms and who thus could be analyzed for drug efficacy, the drug was markedly effective or effective 50/52 (96.2%). 3. Bacteriologically, the drug was effective for Shigella spp. in 41 (100%) of 41, Salmonella spp. in 12 (85.7%) of 14, and enteropathogenic/enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in 8 of 8 cases. 4. Adverse effects were seen in 5/133 patients (3.8%) receiving the drug, including two cases of skin eruption, one of the numbness of the hands, one of oral aphtha, and one of nausea. In patients for whom laboratory findings were available, 20/115 (17.4%) showed abnormalities, mainly elevations of GOT and/or GPT, but these were slight. 5. In terms of subjective reports of usefulness, 51/82 (62.2%) were markedly satisfied, and 73/82 (89.0%) were either satisfied or markedly satisfied. 6. The influence of administration of BLFX on fecal concentration and intestinal microbial flora was investigated in 2 patients with acute infectious enteritis. Results approximately equivalent to such flora levels in healthy subjects were obtained. These results suggest that BLFX is highly useful for infectious enteritis such as that caused by shigellosis.

Abstract
In Japan, Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a very rare neoplasm. However, it does occur as one of the complications in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). AIDS-related KS commonly involves the skin, lymph nodes, and gastrointestinal tract. Hepatic KS is sometimes observed in AIDS patients at autopsy, but it is very rarely diagnosed during life. We report a case of hepatic KS in an AIDS patient, detected by ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during life and proven at autopsy. Abdominal US revealed multiple hyperechoic tumors along the portal vein. CT scan showed low density and delayed enhancement by contrast material. These tumors were revealed as a low intensity area on a T1-weighted image of MRI and as a high intensity area on T2-weighted and proton density images. US, CT scan, and MRI revealed characteristic findings of hepatic KS. These procedures are very useful for the diagnosis of hepatic KS. To our knowledge, this is the first report of hepatic KS in Japan.

Abstract
A clinical study was conducted on fleroxacin (FLRX) in 143 patients and carriers with infectious enteritis (shigellosis, Salmonella enteritis, Campylobacter enteritis, pathogenic Escherichia coli enteritis, Vibrio parahaemolyticus enteritis, cholera, multiple bacterial infections, pathogen-negative enteritis). Furthermore, its antibacterial activity against clinical isolates, fecal concentration and effect on fecal microflora were conducted. FLRX was administered orally in doses of 200 mg once a day (200 mg group) or 300 mg once a day (300 mg group) for 3 days to cholera, for 7 days to Salmonella enteritis and for 5 days to the other infectious enteritis. The clinical efficacy rates were 100% in both the 200 mg and 300 mg groups. The bacteriological efficacy rates were 100% against Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., pathogenic E. coli, V. parahaemolyticus and V. cholerae O1, and 63.6% against Campylobacter spp. in the 200 mg group. The rates of the 300 mg group were 93.3% against Shigella spp., and 100% against Campylobacter spp. and pathogenic E. coli. As adverse effects, skin rash was observed in 1 case each in both groups (1.1%, 2.1%). Abnormal laboratory findings consisted of 1 case of increased eosinophils and 1 case of elevated GOT and GPT levels in the 200 mg group (2.8%), and 1 case of elevated GPT in the 300 mg group (2.9%). The clinical usefulness rates were 92.9% and 93.3% in the 200 mg and 300 mg groups, respectively. Antibacterial activity was somewhat inferior to that fo ciprofloxacin and equal to or better than that of norfloxacin, demonstrating MIC90 values against Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., pathogenic E. coli, V. parahaemolyticus and Campylobacter spp. of 0.1, 0.2, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.78 micrograms/ml, respectively. Peak fecal concentrations of the drug were 49.0 micrograms/g and 274.4 micrograms/g in the 200 mg group, and 43.3 micrograms/g and below the detection limit (5.0 micrograms/g) in the 300 mg group. With respect to fecal microflora (4 cases), a decrease in Enterobacteriaceae was observed in 3 cases during dosing. But this change showed a tendency to recover after completion of dosing. No effects were observed on anaerobic bacteria.

Abstract
A sensitive method for detection of pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica DNA in drained fluids from liver abscess patients, using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), has been developed. The PCR employs oligonucleotide primers specific for the gene encoding the 30 kDa molecule of pathogenic E. histolytica. Liver abscess fluids (19 samples), from 14 patients with a presumptive amebic liver abscess, were examined microscopically and by the PCR method. Only two of the 19 samples were positive microscopically, whereas all 19 samples tested positive by PCR. This technique can be used to confirm the diagnosis of amebic liver abscess.

Abstract
Case I: A middle-age homosexual male developed AIDS with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and esophageal candidiasis in 1986 during his stay in an European country about five months prior to transfer to Tokyo Metropolitan Komagome Hospital, Tokyo, in 1987. He was also diagnosed as having cryptosporidiosis presenting with mild diarrhea a month following the diagnosis of PCP. Diarrhea was successfully treated with spiramycin. On transfer to Tokyo Metropolitan Komagome Hospital, he was febrile but had no diarrhea. Serum HIV and TPHA were positive and his blood lymphocyte subset T4a was markedly decreased. On the 13th day after transfer to the hospital, watery diarrhea appeared. Cryptosporidium oocysts were detected from the feces taken on the 17th hospital day. The patient died of Escherichia coli septicemia on the 38th hospital day. Autopsy finding yielded Cryptosporidium infection widely spread over the stomach, ileum, bile and pancreatic ducts. Case II: A 31-year-old previously healthy female presented with abrupt onset of mucous stool five times daily. Mucous passage continued on the subsequent days despite administration of loperamide, and the passage increased to 20 times daily with mucous to watery diarrhea associated with mild abdominal cramps and nausea on the 4th day after onset of illness. On the 6th day of illness, she visited Tokyo Metropolitan Komagome Hospital. She denied close contact with pet animals or contact with any person presenting diarrhea. She had no recent history of travelling anywhere outside Tokyo. On examination she was an apparently healthy woman except for a slightly distended abdomen with localized tenderness in the right upper quadrant.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Patients with typhoid or paratyphoid fever, admitted to 14 hospitals for infectious diseases during 1984-1987, were epidemically and clinically studied. Of the total number of 183 typhoid, 49 paratyphoid fever patients, those infected overseas was 44.3% and 71.4% respectively, giving an overall annual decrease, yet marking an increased ratio of overseas infection. Patients aged 20s-30s and males were dominant. One hundred and seventy six cases (96.2%) of typhoid and all the paratyphoid fever cases were bacteriologically diagnosed. The period from the onset to the diagnosis was around 14 days in most cases, but beyond 29 days in over 10% of the cases. We would like to emphasize that enteric fever, focusing on high fever, bradycardia, roseola, hepatosplenomegaly, leukopenia, elevated serum-GOT GPT and LDH, can be easily diagnosed by blood/stool culture before beginning chemotherapy. Intestinal bleeding was recognized in 24 cases (13.1%) of typhoid and 4 (8.2%) of paratyphoid fever, intestinal perforation in 2 (1.1%) and death in 1 (0.5%) of typhoid fever. CP was most commonly used in chemotherapy. Bacteriological relapse was recognized in 7/127 cases (5.5%) of typhoid, 6/48 (13.0%) of paratyphoid fever those followed beyond 3 weeks, though eradication was attained by retreatment. One strain of S. typhi resistant to CP.ABPC.KM.SM was isolated in 1986 from a patient infected overseas. New quinolones seem reliable in our preliminary studies.

Abstract
We studied the establishment of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using amoebic antigen for complement fixation (CF) test. Optimal dilution for ELISA of sera from patients was 1:100, and that of CF-antigen was 1:400. The upper limit of the 99% critical range of the reaction of negative sera was 0.068 (cut-off level). Absorbance of sera from patients diluted 1:100 to antigen and antibody titers of ELISA were strongly correlated, so it was possible to estimate antibody titers from absorbance of serum diluted 1:100. ELISA and CF test were done to compare sensitivity of the tests using 63 sera from patients with invasive amoebic disease. The sensitivity of ELISA compared well with CF test (62 sera were positive by ELISA and 61 by CF test). Only one sample was both positive by ELISA and negative by CF test. This sample had low ELISA titers, so this discrepancy was mainly due to the sensitivity of CF test in detecting lower levels of antibody. These results suggested that the amoebic antigen for CF test can be applicable to ELISA, and this method was so sensitive and specific.

Abstract
Antimicrobial agents susceptibility of 42, 940 strains of clinical isolates (from 1979 to 1986) were investigated and the data were analyzed on the basis of the sources of isolates; materials from in- and out-patients or from the different hospital units. Bacteria studied were limited to the species of which isolates were 100 or more during 1979 to 1986. The following results were obtained. i) When the antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates from the out-patient-materials were compared with that from the in-patient-materials, the following 13 bacterial species isolated from the former source were found to be more susceptible to antibiotics than that of the latter. These were S. aureus, S. epidermidis, E. coli, Citrobacter sp., Klebsiella sp., Serratia sp., P. vulgaris, P. rettgeri, M. morganii, P. aeruginosa, P. putida, S. sonnei and Salmonella sp.. ii) The frequency of isolation and their antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureus, Enterobacter sp. and P. aeruginosa from both the in- and out-patients were comparable through 1979. However, S. aureus isolated from the in-patient-materials tended to show increased antibiotic resistance since 1983. This is probably due to the frequent use of the 3rd generation cephalosporins. iii) Comparison of the antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates from the different hospital units showed that the resistant strains were more frequently isolated in the materials from the urology unit and the susceptible strains were more frequently isolated in the materials from the infectious diseases unit. iv) Antibiotic resistant S. aureus and P. aeruginosa increased abruptly since 1983 in the materials from the surgery and urology unit, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

For the purpose of evaluation of clinical efficacy, safety and usefulness on acute infectious enteritis (bacillary dysentery, and enteritis caused by Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., enteropathogenic E. coli, and so on), T-3262, a newly developed pyridone-carboxylic acid derivative, was administered to a total of 136 patients and carriers. In addition, in vitro antibacterial activity of T-3262 was determined against the clinical isolates, and compared with those of nalidixic acid (NA), pipemidic acid (PPA), enoxacin (ENX), norfloxacin (NFLX) and ofloxacin (OFLX). The daily dose of 450 mg of T-3262 was administered orally three times after meals for 5 days, with the exception of 7 day administration against Salmonella enteritis. A total of 89 cases were evaluated; 23 with Shigella spp., 30 with Salmonella spp., 15 with Campylobacter spp., 6 with enteropathogenic E. coli, and 15 cases with the other pathogens or pathogen-negative. The efficacy on clinical symptoms judging from duration of fever, and duration of diarrhea and abnormal stool character was 100% in all the enteritis except enteropathogenic E. coli enteritis, in which it was 50% (n = 2). Concerning bacteriological response, elimination of the causative organisms from the feces was 100% in Shigella spp. (n = 19), Salmonella spp. (n = 30), and enteropathogenic E. coli (n = 6), although 64.3% in Campylobacter spp. (n = 14). As an adverse effect, epigastric discomfort was observed in one (0.8%) of 130 cases. Deteriorations in laboratory findings were seen in five (6.2%) of 81 cases, consisting of two with elevated GOT and GPT, two with elevated GPT, and one with increased eosinophils count, although they were all slight in degree. MICs of T-3262 which inhibited 90% of the isolates of Shigella spp, Salmonella spp., and Campylobacter spp., were 0.025, 0.05, and 0.78 microgram/ml, respectively. These values were lowest among the quinolone derivatives tested, except that the MIC90 against Campylobacter spp. was the same as that of ofloxacin.
