Anaerobic bacterial infections causing osteomyelitis/arthritis in a dog.

A 3-year-old German Shepherd Dog was examined for lameness, signs of pain, swelling, a draining fistulous tract, and osteolysis after a dog bite on the left carpus. After failure of the lesion to respond to several antibiotics, Peptostreptococcus sp and Propionibacterium sp were isolated from swab specimens and then from surgically collected bone and soft tissue specimens. The bone fragments had mild purulent osteomyelitis associated with numerous gram-positive rods and cocci. The dog was successfully treated by surgical debridement of the lesion and clindamycin administration.

Analysis of 100 cases of missing IUD strings.

In a study of 100 patients with missing IUD strings 69 women had their IUD in utero (4 were pregnant) and 17 had unnoticed expulsions (4 pregnancies); 9 devices were in the peritoneal cavity and one had perforated the cervix. Since the IUD was in the uterine cavity in the majority of these cases, most contraceptors whose IUD strings disappear can be managed in the office or clinic with relatively simple techniques to locate and remove the device.

Acute acetaminophen intoxication.

Acetaminophen is a readily available, widely used drug which has been thought safer than aspirin. Overdosage which may result in fatal hepatic necrosis is commonly seen in the United Kingdom but is rarely reported in the United States. In a two-month period, three patients were admitted to a general hospital because of acetaminophen overdose, suggesting that this problem may occur more commonly than expected. They were successfully treated with N-acetylcysteine. Our experience in management of these three patients is presented and the pertinent literature concerning diagnosis and treatment of acute acetaminophen intoxication in briefly reviewed.
