[Ganglioneuroma of the cervical sympathetic nerve in combination with Salmonella infection].

A 70-year-old patient who was seen for evaluation of a parapharyngeal abscess is reported. Since clinical recovery could not be achieved by incision and Salmonella typhi-murium was isolated from the wound-swabs, the existence of two different affections at the same time was apparent. The histological examination after surgical excision led to the diagnosis of a ganglioneuroma. When the patient returned after one year with the clinical aspect of recurrence of the tumour, this pattern could not be verified; Salmonella typhi-murium, however, was found again in the former wound and the stool, too. The etiology of focal manifestations in connection with gastroenteric salmonella-borne infections is discussed.

[Incidence of otitis externa following swimming pool attendance--a case study in 6 indoor pools].

A bacteriological study of the microflora in the auditory meatus of patients with otitis externa after swimming in correlation to the water flora was done during winter 80/81. Six indoor-pools (monthly controls ahead had proven unobjectionable water quality) were analyzed daily, while all swimmers were asked to come for otologic examination whenever symptoms of otitis externa appeared. In a control group without otitis externa the auditory canal was inspected and swabs were taken immediately after swimming. The results indicate, that a short term contamination of the ear canal is possible by swimming in water of unobjectionable quality; this however does not necessarily lead to clinical appearances. Since the incidence of otitis externa in our study (0.01%) was not higher than the morbidity rate in nonswimmers, the data support the concept of the multiplex etiology for otitis externa.

Elimination of Staphylococcus aureus in hemodialysis patients.

Staphylococcus aureus infection and its complications are of great concern in the care of hemodialysis patients. Nasal contamination with S. aureus seems to be the main source of cutaneous contamination. The decontamination and recontamination of the skin of hemodialysis patients after using mupirocin nasal ointment was followed in a placebo control study. After 10 days of therapy with mupirocin nasal ointment, 25 of 33 (73%) patients were free of nasal S. aureus contamination in the nares (control subjects 2 of 21, 10%). At the same time, the prevalence of positive skin cultures for S. aureus decreased from 30 of 33 (90%) to 11 of 33 (33%) patients. However, during the ensuing 130 days, 14 of 25 (58%) patients with negative nasal cultures became recontaminated, while the skin became recontaminated in 11 of 22 (50%) patients. In 10 of 14 S. aureus recontaminated patients the original S. aureus lysotype was documented by specific phage reaction. Four of fourteen patients had a new S. aureus lysotype. Mupirocin nasal ointment eradicated S. aureus transiently in 75% of the patients but continuously in only 11 of 33 (30%) patients.
