[Obstetrics for HIV positive pregnant patients].

We analysed 13 pregnancies from HIV-positive women, 12 intravenous drug abusers, and found the following complications: (1) 4 small-for-date babies and 1 premature baby; (2) 12 spontaneous births, 1 cesarean section; (3) 6 children with acute withdrawal syndrome and/or sepsis; (4) 2 children have AIDS, 3 mothers too; 1 child got ARC; (5) 4 children became HIV-negative. We propose some guidelines through pregnancy and birth for this group at risk.

[Complicated pregnancy course following mitral valve replacement].

A report is made on a woman patient with a Björk-Shiley prosthesis in the mitral position, whose pregnancy was complicated by bacteraemia and a thrombotic obstruction of the artificial heart valve. With reference to research, the authors discuss the question of anticoagulation in pregnant women with artificial heart valves as well as the question of the choice of prosthesis in women wishing to have children.

Is there a local production of nitrosamines by the vaginal microflora in anaerobic vaginosis/trichomoniasis?

Nitrosamines have been identified in vaginal secretions of women with trichomoniasis. Both nitrites and amines the elements for nitrosamine synthesis are produced by the abnormal-predominantly anaerobic-vaginal flora of patients with bacterial vaginosis/trichomoniasis. The final formation of nitrosamines could also depend on microbial enzymatic activity. The confirmation of an endogenous generation of oncogenic nitrosamines in the vaginas of some women could give promising impulses to cancer-research concerning the uterine cervix.
