Inflammatory epithelial changes and nonviral cervicovaginal pathogens.

To assess the relationship between inflammatory epithelial changes (IECs) and cervicovaginal infection, 249 women with cytologic diagnoses of IEC were studied. The findings showed a Chlamydia infection in 15.7% of the cases, Monilia in 38.1%, Trichomonas in 1.6% and a lateral vaginal wall pH of greater than 5.5 in 29.7%. These results were compared with those for 211 controls drawn from the same population; women with abnormal cytologic reports were excluded from the control group. The controls had a prevalence of yeast and trichomoniasis no different from that of the IEC group. In contrast, the prevalence of chlamydial infection (7.6%) and pH greater than 5.5 (10.7%) were significantly lower in the controls than in the IEC cases. Chlamydia was found in 30.2% of 43 women with an atypical transformation zone, equally distributed between women whose biopsies were normal and those whose biopsies showed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. The traditional guidelines of treating cases with cytologic diagnoses of IEC prior to obtaining a repeat smear may need reevaluation in the light of these findings.

[Biotinidase deficiency: a congenital metabolic disease which can be successfully treatment with vitamin H].

At the age of 13 months a patient developed muscular hypotonia, deafness of the inner ear and cutaneous symptoms (alopecia; skin rash, complicated by superinfection with monilia). Biochemical assays revealed compensated metabolic acidosis, pathologically high lactate and pyruvate concentrations in the blood and cerebro-spinal fluid, as well as increased urinary excretion of 3-OH-isovaleric acid, 3-methylcrotonylglycine and lactate. The patient was diagnosed as suffering from autosomal recessive biotinidase deficiency on the basis of severely reduced biotinidase activity in plasma (0.05 nmol/min/ml). In both his parents and brother heterozygosity was found. Institution of therapy with a daily dose of 10 mg biotin rapidly removed most of the symptoms; after six months of treatment the deafness had improved significantly.

An immunological procedure for the rapid identification of Phaeoannellomyces werneckii.

Phaeoannellomyces werneckii is identified on the basis of its annellidic conidiogenous cells and the production of two-celled conidia. Without the proper recognition of its annellidic mode of conidiogenesis, isolates of P. werneckii can be confused with other species of Phaeococcomyces, Exophiala, and Scolecobasidium constrictum. To overcome this problem, we developed exoantigen reagents capable of specifically identifying P. werneckii. Rabbit P. werneckii antiserum was rendered specific by adsorptions with antigens of Exophiala jeanselmei serotype 1, Exophiala moniliae, and Wangiella dermatitidis. Eighty-two dematiaceous yeast-like fungi, including 18 P. werneckii cultures, were tested in the immunodiffusion test against P. werneckii antisera. Exoantigen tests permitted the rapid and specific identification of the 18 P. werneckii isolates. Negative results were obtained with the 64 heterologous antigen extracts.

Colposcopic screening of women with atypical Papanicolaou smears.

A retrospective study was done on 575 patients with atypical Papanicolaou smears obtained during a ten-year period (1974-83) at Bellevue Hospital-New York University Medical Center. The smears were classified into three categories. The first consisted of 463 patients (81%) with inflammatory atypia specifically treated for Trichomonas, Monilia, Chlamydia, Gardnerella and atrophic vaginitis. Of them, 162 patients (35% of the group) had persistent inflammatory atypia 90 days after the beginning of therapy and were subjected to colposcopic examination. The second group consisted of 86 patients (15%) with squamous atypia. That group underwent colposcopic examination. The third group, 26 patients (4%), had endocervical atypia and underwent colposcopy and endocervical curettage. Overall, of 162 patients with persistent inflammatory atypia, 36 (22%) were found to have cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN); of 86 with squamous atypia, 60 (70%) had CIN; and of 26 with endocervical atypia, 15 (58%) had CIN. Fifty-eight (28%) of all the patients with CIN had lesions of severity greater than CIN 1. It appears that all patients with persistent inflammation or squamous or endocervical atypia would benefit from colposcopic screening.

[Cellular immunity in protein-caloric malnutrition].

In order to have a clearer idea on the relationship between infectious diseases and malnutrition, cellular immunity is studied in 3 to 18 months old malnourished and healthy infants. Nutritional status is evaluated by the food intake the anthropologic measurements and some biological parameters like transferrin. Cellular immunity is investigated by skin tests to tuberculin, monilia, P.H.A. and DNCB. Absolute number of peripheral lymphocytes and percentage of T cells are studied too. The results show that there is a cellular immunity deficiency: frequent non-response to antigens, weak sensitization to DNCB. Some patients have a low percentage of spontaneous rosettes. The transferrin titering is useful to appreciate the nutritional status and the iron therapy opportunity, the prognostic and the immunitary possibilities.

[Fungal flora of Ankara air in the morning and evening (author's transl)].

The fungal flora in different areas parts of Ankara in morning and evening atmosfere are discussed. It was seen that Penicillium, and Mycelia sterilia were found more in evenings, when Cladosporium and Alternaria were found in higher concentrations in mornings. Aspergillus was found in evening air either in less or at least in same concentrations. The rate of Monilia in evenings and mornings showed variable concentration according to areas.

[Treatment of vulvovaginitis in children and adolescents with metronidazole].

Vulvovaginitis is the most observed genital disease in children and adolescents and dependent from different etiologic factors. Bacteriogenic non specific infections were the most frequent cause in 275 girls. Bacteria were evident in 77.5 per cent, monilia, in 12.7 per cent and trichomonas vaginalis in 3.3 per cent. 143 cases were treated with metronidazole. All patients with trichomoniasis vaginitis became free of trichomonads. The cure rate of the anaerobic infections was 73.1 per cent. No side effects were observed.

Intravenous sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim for serious gram-negative bacillary infection.

Intravenous therapy with sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim cured seven patients with serious gram-negative infection. Three patients had bacteremia, three had pneumonia, and one each had meningitis, peritonitis, pyogenic liver abscesses, and urinary tract infection. Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim was selected in three patients with renal failure to avoid aminoglycoside-induced nephrotoxicity, in three patients because of penicillin allergy, and in two cases because of bacterial resistance to other readily available antibiotics. Adverse drug reactions occurred in three cases and included oral monilia, transient leukopenia, and fluid overload. In contrast to the new broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotics, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim costs two to 2 1/2 times less and has not been associated with the emergence of bacterial resistance during therapy. This may favor the use of parenteral sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim for some patients with serious gram-negative infection.

[Mycogenic allergies (author's transl)].

The most common causes of mycogenic allergies of the respiratory tract are cladosporium-, aspergillus-, ustilago-, monilia- and alternaria-species. On the second place follow species of epicoccum and penicillium as well a some asco- and basidiomycetes. The majority of these germs represents banal molds whose natural habitat is predominantly the soil and the vegetable kingdom. Under the circumstances of civilisation, however, they may occur in the immediate human environment in enormous amounts (more than 10.000 spores/m3 of air). There are great differences in the quantity and distribution of the single germs with regard to the geographic, seasonal and economic situation. A survey of these aspects is given.

[Alendronate-induced esophagitis. A report of 2 cases].

Two cases of esophagitis associated with the use of alendronate are described. Both patients were women with no past history of heartburn or dyspepsia, who started alendronate for postmenopausal osteoporosis at least one week before the symptoms onset, by taking the drug with half a glass of tap water at bedtime. The first patient suffered from a severe chest pain; endoscopy showed confluent erosions of the lower third of the esophagus. The second patient had odynophagia and developed exudates and greyish plaques on the mucosa of the upper third of the esophagus. Histological examination of the esophageal specimens of both patients disclosed no Monilia, hyphae, or nuclear viral inclusions. Both patients stopped alendronate with complete recovery at follow-up. A brief review of the etiopathogenesis of pill esophagitis is also presented. Finally, emphasis is placed on the selection of patients for therapy with alendronate with warnings on how to take the drug correctly.
