The incidence and composition of salivary stones (sialolithiasis) in Iran: analysis of 95 cases--a short report.
In a 3 year period 95 patients with sialolithiasis were studied, giving an annual incidence of 7.3 per 1000 admissions. The male to female ratio was 2.5:1. Salivary gland stones comprised 73.68 per cent (N = 70 patients). Chemical analysis of calculi taken from 88 patients, showed that 89.77 per cent (N = 79 patients) were with phosphate salts stones, 7.98 per cent (N = 7 patients) were with oxalate salts, and 2.27 per cent (N = 2 patients) were with urate salts. Salivary gland infection was present in 91.57 per cent (N = 87 patients) of whom 75.86 per cent (N = 66 patients) and 24.14 per cent (N = 21 patients) were females. A high ambient temperature and dehydration with poor oral hygiene are probable causative factors.

An outbreak of acute gastroenteritis due to Aeromonas sobria in Benghazi, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.
We report an outbreak of acute diarrhoea due to Aeromonas sobria in Benghazi which occurred during a 1-month period in 1997. Of 69 patients admitted with acute gastroenteritis, 28 were positive for A. sobria based on the production of gas from glucose, the production of acetoin, hydrogen sulfide and lysine decarboxylase and on aesculin hydrolysis and fermentation of arabinose and salicin. The strains were sensitive to chloramphenicol, co-trimoxazole, tetracycline and gentamicin but resistant to ampicillin and carbenicillin. We were unable to trace the source of the infection.
