What's the difference between quartan and quartane?
Quartan
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the fourth; occurring every fourth day, reckoning inclusively; as, a quartan ague, or fever.
(n.) An intermittent fever which returns every fourth day, reckoning inclusively, that is, one in which the interval between paroxysms is two days.
(n.) A measure, the fourth part of some other measure.
Example Sentences:
(1) Plasmodium brasilianum causes chronic quartan malaria in the common marmoset Callithrix jacchus, whereas Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is followed by an infectious mononucleosis-like syndrome that resolves.
(2) Clinical and experimental research on such cases has been carried out in the USSR with three strains of Plasmodium malariae isolated in the Soviet Union.It was found possible to cure induced quartan malaria with chloroquine diphosphate, mepacrine in association with plasmocide, and either proguanil or cycloquine with quinocide.Prevention of infection in persons receiving blood from a donor infected with P. malariae was achieved by administration 600 mg of cycloquine or chloroquine diphosphate before the blood transfusion.Since it has been shown that a donor with no history of malaria who has lived in an area where malaria had been endemic 20 years previously may have chronic symptomless parasitaemia and may transmit infection through his blood, the authors recommend that blood for transfusion or haemotherapy should not be taken from residents in former foci of quartan malaria.
(3) Chronic malarial nephrotic syndrome is specifically associated with quartan malaria.
(4) A splenectomized aotus monkey infected with human quartan malaria (Plasmodium malariae) developed oedema and proteinuria.
(5) The latter, though lacking the diffuse glomerular deposits of immunoglobulin described in quartan malarial nephropathy (Q.M.N.
(6) These results indicate that quartan injections of melatonin can suppress reproductive function in female hamsters, and that the effectiveness of the injections may be dependent upon the stage of the estrous cycle at which they are administered.
(7) (b) Chronic (progressive) lesions characteristic of quartan infections in man, developing slowly into a chronic stage with persistent proteinuria and gradually deteriorating renal function and hypertension.
(8) Chronic lesions, typical for quartan malaria, are more progressive and do not respond to antimalarials.
(9) Mostly subtropical malaria, less often tertiary malarial fever and mild tertiary malaria were diagnosed, and exceptionally quartan malaria.
(10) Quartan malarial infection causes an immune complex nephritis in some individuals, which, once established, is sustained by mechanisms not yet fully explained, but which probably involve autoimmune processes.
(11) Only two species of plasmodia have been found: the quartan-like Plasmodium brasilianum and the tertian-like P. simium, but the possible presence of other species is not excluded.
(12) The three most frequent histological diagnoses in 98 renal biopsies were membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (25), quartan malarial nephropathy (20), and proliferative glomerulonephritis (19): together they accounted for 65 per cent of all biopsies.
(13) For investigation of the role of the spleen in host defense and chronicity in quartan malaria, the course of Plasmodium inui infection was studied in 39 intact rhesus monkeys, 16 monkeys splenectomized before infection, and 22 monkeys splenectomized after infection.
(14) In one patient with quartan malaria infection, proteinuria rose as far as 432 mg per day.
(15) Evidence to support an immunologic pathogenesis of the renal lesions is provided by the presence of immunoglobulin, complement (C3) and quartan malarial antigen in biopsy specimens studied by immunofluorescence microscopy.
(16) This is the first report of quartan malaria from this area.
(17) This paper describes the characterization of proteinuria in Aotus monkeys infected with quartan malaria (Plasmodium brasilianum), using a micro-disc-electrophoresis system.
(18) Quartan malaria is also an insidious corruptor of health in childhood and commonly causes the nephrotic syndrome.
(19) Chronic quartan malarial infection has been established in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus).
(20) It would appear that quartan malaria causes an immune complex nephritis in some individuals that, once established, is sustained by mechanisms not yet fully explained but which may involve an autoimmune process.
Quartane
Definition:
(n.) Butane, each molecule of which has four carbon atoms.
