CONGENITAL HEPATIC FIBROSIS WITH AN UNUSUAL PULMONARY LESION.

The necropsy findings in a 5-year-old girl with congenital hepatic fibrosis are described. She had been followed since the age of 18 months and finally developed hepatocellular failure. Extensive haemorrhagic necrosis was found at necropsy and was probably related to the terminal illness. Other unusual findings were areas of typical post-necrotic cirrhosis and marked centrilobular and diffuse emphysema of the lungs. It is suggested that the latter was also congenital in origin.

Pulmonary cytomegalic inclusion-body disease in a diabetic.

Cytomegalic inclusion-body disease was found at necropsy in the lungs of a 57-year-old diabetic man. The characteristic large cells were found in all parts of the lungs. The alveolar walls showed no cellular infiltration, supporting Hamperl's suggestion that the cytomegalic virus alone may be incapable of causing pneumonitis. A small focus of aspergillosis was also found in one lung. The rarity of cytomegalic inclusion-body disease in adults was confirmed by re-examining histologically the lungs of 15 further cases of diabetes as well as 60 of other chronic diseases. No further example of pulmonary cytomegaly was found.
