Echovirus type 17 in the neonate.

An outbreak of echovirus type 17 in a neonatal nursery with recovery of virus from the stools of the seven affected infants and the cerebrospinal fluid of one is described. Intensive nursing care and supportive therapy prevented a possible fatal outcome in all instances. A further case in another community is described in which a 5-week-old child succumbed to his illness and echovirus type 17 was isolated from autopsy tissues - lung, liver, kidney and spleen. This child had presumably received poor home care. The suggestion is made that while echovirus type 17 is not frequently associated with adult disease, it may exhibit affinity for infant tissues. This is thought to be the first time that this virus has been associated with clinical disease in a neonatal nursery and also the first account of its recovery from postmortem tissues.

Treatment of severe bacteroides infections with parenteral clindamycin.

Clindamycin, by intravenous or intramuscular administration, was used in the treatment of 18 patients seriously ill with infections due to bacteroides organisms. In 17 cases there was a rapid favourable clinical response to treatment. No serious toxic effects were observed. This study appears to confirm previous in vitro evidence that clindamycin is presently the antibiotic of choice for such infections.

Carbenicillin and gentamicin in the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.

The administration separately and sequentially of carbenicillin and gentamicin eradicated Ps. aeruginosa infections, during the period over which they were given, in all of 25 critically ill patients. Electron microscopy revealed differences in the action of these two antibiotics against Ps. aeruginosa in vitro. Culture studies showed synergism between them and destruction by gentamicin of the carbenicillin-induced long, filamentous form of the organism.

Coxsackie A10 virus infection among infectious hepatitis contacts.

During an outbreak of infectious hepatitis at a housing development, Coxsackie A10 virus was recovered from the stools of 45 different contacts and from the blood of four others. Caution should be exercised in attributing an etiological role to any given isolate of a Group A Coxsackie virus in view of the widespread distribution of these organisms. Nevertheless, the recovery of Coxsackie A10 viruses from the blood and stools of contacts with hepatitis cases appears to warrant record.
