Mean levels of maternal blood magnesium in a group of pathological pregnancies were compared to levels found in a group of physiological pregnancies. The paper concludes that low levels of blood magnesium are an improbable condition in pregnancy due to the existence of protective mechanisms, and that they are therefore rarely the cause of the most common obstetric pathologies.

Systemic mycoses continue to emerge as life-threatening infections. Considerable progress in treating these infections is being achieved through better application of established available antifungal agents (amphotericin B, flucytosine, miconazole and ketoconazole), and through development of promising investigational agents (fluconazole, itraconazole). Systemic fungal infections, however, continue to present major problems, including clinical resistance, microbiological resistance, emergence of new pathogens, and involvement of more immunocompromised patients. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to review the recent progress and current problems in treatment of systemic fungal infections.
