[Intrapulmonary interstitial emphysema in ventilatorsy supported infants (author's transl)].

Development of intrapulmonary interstitial emphysema together with other forms of extraalveolar air collections following alveolar rupture was investigated retrospectively in 46 term and preterm newborn infants with respect to gestational age severity of pulmonary disease and mode of ventilatory assistance. Intrapulmonary interstitial emphysema was found in 31 of these 46 infants (67%). Development depended on the severity of pulmonary disease, mode of ventilatory assistance and level of inspiratory pressure. Intrapulmonary interstitial emphysema was found at an average age of 1 day (1-6 days) in 2 out of 23 infants (9%) during unassisted spontaneous breathing, in 8 out of 24 infants (33%) during CPAP and in 21 out of 26 infants (81%) during controlled ventilation. 18 out of these 31 infants (58%) additionally developed other forms of extraalveolar air collections but only in 9 from these interstitial emphysema has been found prior to other forms of extraalveolar air. Mortality rate of infants with intrapulmonary interstitial emphysema alone (10 out of 13; 77%) and infants who additionally developed other forms of extraalveolar air collections (16 out of 18; 89%) did not differ significantly. Development of intrapulmonary interstitial emphysema even in he absence of other forms of extraalveolar air collections has therefore to be judged as a severe complication in infants undergoing different forms of ventilatory assistance.

Difference in the virulence of Ureaplasma urealyticum isolates.

The virulence of Ureaplasma urealyticum strains was tested by intrarenally infecting white mice of undefined, LATI (Gödöllö, Hungary) and BALB/c breed. Freshly isolated human strains differed in virulence; when subcultured in U-9 medium they showed a gradual loss of virulence. Ureaplasma strains of calf and swine origin were virulent to mice in a medium degree. Some of the inoculated mice showed the signs of latent infection.

[Massive air embolism complicating artificial ventilation (author's transl)].

A 1740 g premature infant being treated by intermittent positive pressure ventilation with PEEP because of respiratory distress syndrome died from massive air embolism occuring in two attacks on the 14th and 16th day of life. The pathogenesis of systemic air embolism in neonates with respiratory distress syndrome is discussed and the difficulties in diagnosis as well as the importance of this complication regarding possible cerebral damage are considered. There is no conclusive information about the incidence of this serious event available at present.

[Cytostatic therapy in a patient with histologically verified, but not irradiatied, brain stem glioma (author's transl)].

A boy, aged 8 1/2 years, was operated becuase of a brainstem tumor (polymorph mixed glioma) more than 4 years ago. Because of its dimension and location in the medulla oblongata the tumor was resected only partially. Radiotherapy was refused at that time. A combined cytostatic therapy proved to be successful. The marked neurological symptoms diminished considerably during treatment. The patient (with minor neurological symptoms) has been living a normal and active life for the last 4 years.
