Cryptosporidiosis in southern Sweden.

Two different groups of patients with diarrhoea, altogether 1,478 individuals, were examined for cryptosporidium oocysts. The technique used was feces concentration and staining according to a modified Ziehl-Neelsen method. 20 cases of cryptosporidiosis (3%) were found among 698 consecutive patients with acute gastroenteritis. In feces samples sent for parasitological examination from 780 patients, cryptosporidia were found on 9 occasions (1%). None of 519 healthy persons excreted cryptosporidia. 19/29 patients with cryptosporidiosis had recently been abroad and in 8 of these additional enteric pathogens were found. The median duration of diarrhoea was 14 days. All patients except 1 were cryptosporidia-negative in faeces within 2 months. An immunosuppressed patient excreted cryptosporidia for 14 months.

Tobramycin in patients with various infections: a clinical evaluation.

22 patients with various gram-negative infections were treated with tobramycin at a dose of approximately 3 mh/kg body weight/24 h for 7 to 53 (mean 16) days. Therapy was monitored with determinations of drug serum concentrations and renal and audio-vestibular function tests. In 16 patients either cure of clinical improvement were achieved. Two patients did not improve. In another 4 patients the effect of tobramycin therapy could nto be evaluated. One patient exhibited a subclinical vestibular dysfunction and one patient experienced transient tinnitus. In one patient, slight but clinically significant renal impairment occurred.

Unexplained acute fever after a hot bath.

An outbreak of repeated chills, fever, respiratory-tract symptoms, and muscle pain, starting 4 h after a hot bath, involved 56 persons, nearly all of whom lived in an area supplied with water from the same source. The symptoms lasted for 6--15 h. A polymorphonuclear leucocytosis was a feature of the illness. The causal agent, which has not yet been identified, was found to enter the body by inhalation. Bacteriological and chemical studies and investigation of the water for endotoxins and algae revealed nothing unusual.
