[Tuberculous pneumonia, complicated by tuberculosis of the middle ear].

The authors report on a rare localization of tuberculosis in a young foreigner. Tuberculous otitis media developed secondarily via Eustachian tube in far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis. Anti-tuberculous chemotherapy resulted in recovery. Even in the present favourable epidemiological situation of tuberculosis the possibility of tuberculous otitis media should be considered in patients under care because of advanced tuberculosis of different localization.

Results of screening for phenylalanine and other amino acid disturbances among pregnant women.

Blood specimens were collected from 15000 pregnant women during the first 3 months of their pregnancy and screened for amino acid disturbances by means of paper chromatography. A high incidence of disturbances in the phenylalanine metabolism was discovered: three cases of mild hyperphenylalaninaemia without phenylpyruvicaciduria (incidence 1:5000); two cases of mild hyperphenylalaninaemia with phenylpyruvicaciduria (incidence 1:7550); four cases of mild phenylketonuria (incidence 1:3750). Disturbances in the metabolism of other amino acids were found to be rare. Metabolic and genealogical findings in some detected families are briefly described.
