Anti-hantavirus antibodies in human sera in Czechoslovakia.

By indirect immunofluorescence using antigens of hantavirus Hantaan and CG 18-20 on Vero E6 cells were examined 5,827 samples of sera from 5,299 probands of Czechoslovakia. In 49 persons (0.94%) were found antibodies of titres 1:32 and higher. Two groups of elderly farm workers showed a cluster of positive individuals amounting to 9.9% and 29.4% respectively. The ratio of positivities in some other, randomly and specifically selected groups was deep below 1%. The partial results for the group of farmers were confirmed by RIA test. Occasionally antibodies only to one of the hantavirus serotypes, at other time, to both were found. The authors discuss the findings of antibodies of the two serotypes in humans as related to the evidenced existence of two hantavirus antigen serotypes in animals.

[Mucosal candidiasis].

The authors demonstrate the case of a female patient with a prolonged mucosal form of candidosis caused by different biotypes of Candida albicans. Despite the fact the long-term and repeated treatment with Nizoral and transfer factor was applied, relapses of the disease developed. Marked improvement of clinical manifestations occurred only after a change of the dietary habits and long-term administration of immunomodulating agents. The authors discuss therapeutic and diagnostic aspects of the disease.

[Takayasu's disease. Detection of the early systemic stage of the disease in a pregnant woman].

The authors describe the case of Takayasu's disease detected in the non-obliterating systemic stage. The disease developed in a 24-year-old woman in the 8th month of gestation and was associated with severe pain of the back and upper extremities, subfebrile temperatures, later fever and tachycardia. The authors describe the difficult diagnosis of the disease and discuss the relationship of the case with so-called fever of unknown aetiology and the development of the disease during pregnancy.

[Thrombosis of the superior vena cava as a complication of permanent cardiac pacing].

The authors present an account of thrombosis of the superior vena cava which developed in two patients with permanent cardiac pacing and led to the development of superior vena cava syndrome. The cause was loosening of the impaired stimulating electrode from fixation and its penetration into the superior vena cava with subsequent formation of a thrombus on the bare surface of the spiral. Contemporary therapeutic procedures are reviewed.

[Long-term prognosis of patients after successful embolectomy in the upper mesenteric artery].

The authors describe case-histories of two patients after successful embolectomy from the mesenteric artery, in one combined with resection of the small intestine with survival of 1 and 13 years resp. without sings of malnutrition. The authors discuss the prognosis of embolectomised patients with regard to the basic disease, relapsing embolization and nutritional disorders.

[Conn's adenoma as a cause of hypertension].

The authors describe two observations of primary hyperaldosteronism, caused by a cortical adrenal adenoma (Conn's adenoma). Both patients were treated by unilateral adrenalectomy from lumbotomy. (In the second patient subtotal resection). The problem is discussed from the aspect of morphological diagnosis and location with emphasis on the primary importance of CT. The surgical operation is aimed and simple without the necessity of peroperative confirmation of the morphological background of the syndrome.

[Intradermal method of vaccination with a human diploid cell tissue culture vaccine for preexposure antirabies immunization].

The authors provide evidence of seroconversion in 16 subjects (100%) following intradermal administration of antirabies vaccine from a tissue culture of human diploid cells [Rabivac, Behring, FRG] for the purpose of pre-exposure immunization. The immunomodulating preparation Levamisol [Decaris Richter, Hungary] did not influence the mean antibody titre during administration by the intradermal route.
