Item An evaluation of the numerical criterion for "positive" with skin test using mycobacterium leprae antigens(National Sceince Council:Colombo, 1990) Pinto, M.R.M.; Eriyagama, N.B.; Sivarajasingham, S.; Ekanayake, E.M.; Gamage, T.M.Item The relationship between reactivities to Lepromin A and soluble protein antigen of mycobacterium leprae and tuberculin(Sri Lanka Medical Association. Colombo, 1986) Pemajayantha, V.; Pinto, M.R.M.; Eriyagama, N.B.The relationship between reactivity to tuberculin (PPD-R123) and reactivities to antigens of Mycobacterium leptae (Fernadez, Mitsuda and to a Soluble Protein antigen of M. leprae) was studied using three methods. A clear relationship could be demonstrated with two of the methods. A statistically significant correlation coul be demonstrated by the method of regression analysis between tuberculin and all three types of reactivities; however the level of correlation was unusually low. This study also revealed an increase of all three types of reactivity with BCG vaccination.Item Takahashi's antitubercle phosphatide kaolin agglutination test (KAT) in extrapulmonary tuberculosis(National science Council:Colombo, 1982) Pinto, M.R.M.; Arseculeratne, S.N.; Weliange, L.V.; Uragoda, C.G.; Gamage, N.Item An evaluation of the usefulness of different diameters of skin reactions elicited by Mycobacterium leprae antigens(Sri Lanka Medical Association. Colombo, 1989) Pinto, M.R.M.; Eriyagama, N.B.; Gamage, T.M.; Sivarajasingham, S.The advantages of the transverse, vertical and mean diameters for the measurement of skin reactions with M. leprae antigents were evaluated. iT was decided that the vertical and mean diameters offered no improvement over the transverse diameter and hence the use of the latter is recommended.Item The sensitivity of tubercle bacilli from Ceylonese patients with pulmonary tuberculosis to cycloserine and ethionamide(University of Ceylon. Colombo, 1973) Pinto, M.R.M.; Arseculeratne, S.N.; Uragoda, C.G.; Bandunatha, C.H.S.R.Item Biological activity of some steam distillates from leaves of ten species of rutaceous plants(National Science Council:Colombo, 1990) Bandara, B.M.R.; Hewage, C.M.; Jayamanne, D.H.L.W.; Karunaratne, V.; Adikaram, N.K.B.; Bandara, K.A.N.P.; Pinto, M.R.M.; Wijesundara, D.S.A.Item Antibacterial activity of some Sri Lankan plants(1989) Bandara, B.M.R.; Hewage, C.M.; Karunaratne, V.; Pinto, M.R.M.Item Two cases of listeriosis(The Sri Lanka Medical Associan. Colombo, 1992) Wijesundera, C. De S.; Pinto, M.R.M.; Navaratnam, C.Item The sensitivity of tubercle bacilli from ceylonese patients with pulmonary tuberculosis to kanamycin , viomycin, capriomycin(University of Ceylon. Colombo, 1973) Pinto, M.R.M.; Arseculeratne, S.N.; Uragoda, C.G.; Navaratnam, C.Item An investigation of the potability of water from wells in use in the area of the Kandy municipality(National Science Council:Colombo, 1989) Dias, N.; Gnanandan, G.; Kadiresanathan, S.; Mohan, T.; Karunatileke, C.; Karalliedde, J.B.; Kodikaraarachchi, R.; Pinto, M.R.M.
