We also interviewed the 65 apparently healthy contacts of the 9 index patients and 15 collateral case-patients.
The process was then repeated prospectively with the collateral case-patients for as many generations as possible.
To identify risk factors, we interviewed all of the identified contacts (or their proxies) of the primary, index, and collateral case-patients, irrespective of their status (patient or healthy contact).
Then, as 21 days had passed since the last exposure, each name on the list was matched with a name on the list of reported case-patients in order to identify the contacts in whom the disease had developed (collateral case-patients).
The 27 identified case-patients consisted of, in addition to the 3 laboratory-confirmed patients with whom we began the study, 9 index case-patients (including 3 primary case-patients, all young women whose source of infection was unknown), and 15 collateral case-patients.
Beal fires off a half-dozen questions probing some vague language in the original loan contract about collateral in case of default, and his face curls in disgust.
When executing trades through a clearinghouse, market participants have to back up their deals with adequate collateral in case they suddenly cannot make payments.
Two patients had developed calcifications related to reconstruction of the lateral collateral ligament (cases 1 and 2).
At least some single-labeled neurons, as discussed below, are also likely to have branched collaterals, but in this case, the collaterals are directed to one injected site and other, noninjected sites.
Boat loans, like car loans, give the bank permission to recover its collateral in the case of default, which explains why a repo man can go into a yard without technically trespassing.
