Zygomycotic necrotizing fasciitis caused by Apophysomyces elegans.

A case of necrotizing fasciitis of the anterior abdominal wall caused by the zygomycete Apophysomyces elegans in a healthy male following inguinal herniorrhaphy is reported. The portal of entry of the fungus into the incised skin and subcutaneous tissues was probably through either contaminated surgical sutures or postoperative surgical dressings. Broad, aseptate fungal hyphae were seen in the necrosed tissues with an associated necrotizing vasculitis. Extensive tissue debridements and a low dose of amphotericin B were not successful in controlling the rapid invasion of the tissues by the fungus.

Profile of a cancer detection camp.

The organisation and management of a cancer detection camp in rural area of Andhra Pradesh with the help of Lions Club and medical college staff were described. People with any one of the seven warning signals of cancer were asked to attend the camp. More women, most of them in reproductive age, attended the camp with unusual vaginal bleeding and lump in the breast. Among men, a large group complained of chronic cough. Smear for Papanicolaou's stain was used as a tool for screening of cervical cancer. Ten patients (2.5%) had malignant lesions and 16 patients (4.0%) had premalignant lesions. The programme of prevention, public health education and early detection of cancer can be put into action, successfully through cancer detection camps organised in rural areas.

Intraperitoneal ascariasis.

Seven children with intraperitoneal ascariasis are reported. One of them had two episodes. There were four instances of free worms in the peritoneal cavity, whereas others had peritoneal abscesses containing round worms. It is suggested that peritoneal ascariasis should be suspected whenever a child presents with peritonitis and/or an inflammatory abdominal mass having evidence of ascarial infestation.

Primary small intestinal adenocarcinoma.

Seven patients with adeno-carcinoma of the small intestine were seen over a period of five years. Four were localized to the duodenum, the jejunum was involved in two and the ileum in one. Abdominal pain, weight loss, anemia and obstruction were the most common presenting complaints. Endoscopy was the primary diagnostic modality for the duodenal tumours. Diagnostic accuracy of barium contrast examination was 83%. Curative resections were performed in two patients and palliative surgery in the rest.
