[Renal calculi in an infant].

Urinary concretions, particularly in the upper urinary tract, occur in otherwise healthy children in connection with Bacillus Proteus urinary infections. In other European countries, this occurs in 40-70% while, on the other hand, it is particularly rare in Scandinavia. A case of obstructing pelvic concretion in a boy aged three months is presented. This is the youngest case which could be found in the literature. Pyelolithotomy was performed and the child has been free from recurrence for six years. At the commencement of the disease, pain due to renal calculi may be misinterpreted as being due to three-months intestinal colic. Formation of calculi is presumed to be due the ability of Bacillus Proteus to form urease. The frequency of recurrences is 3-8% and is lowest if the urine can be maintained sterile for the first three months after removal of the stone.

Skull base osteomyelitis presenting as Villaret's syndrome.

This report documents a 47-year-old male who developed acute deficits of the IX, X, XI, XII cranial nerves and Horner's symptoms, consistent with Villaret's syndrome. Neuroimaging studies demonstrated an osteolytic lesion in the skull base involving the clivus and jugular foramen. The patient recovered after the antibiotic treatment for proteus mirabilis infection. We suggest that Villaret's syndrome can be a rare presentation of skull base osteomyelitis.

Recurrences in primarily infected and uninfected urolithiasis.

An analysis was carried out of 640 patients treated because of urolithiasis at the Urological Clinic of the Medical Academy in Warsaw in the years 1971--1974. Factors conducive to stone formation were analyzed. In infected urolithiasis, different bacterial floras were found in men and women. The importance of infections acquired in hospital by patients is emphasized. In primarily uninfected urolithiasis there were 35 per cent recurrences, as against 53 per cent recurrences in infected urolithiasis.

Adherence of bacteria to cardiac valve prostheses.

The adherence of bacterial cells to valvular prostheses has been studied. Bacteria were selected on the basis of their surface features (fimbriae, hydrophobicity and specific receptors). It was found that only strains having fimbriae and high cell surface hydrophobicity adhered to bioprostheses, while they did not adhere to metallic prostheses to any significant extent. Adherence to bioprostheses depended on the exposure time and it was affected by the saline concentration of the suspension medium. Furthermore, different bacterial binding capacity was observed for bioprostheses from different companies.

Resolution of late-developing periprosthetic breast infections without prosthesis removal.

Based on prior experience with implant exposure, an aggressive regimen to eradicate periprosthetic infections has proven successful in delayed gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial infections and in atypical microbacterial infections. The objective of the "salvage" procedure is to retain a prosthesis, to maintain breast contour, and to avoid psychological and physical consequences of prosthesis removal. The "salvage" procedure involves topical antisepsis, contracture release if needed, systemic and topical antibiotics with intermittent or continuous irrigation, and reinforcement of incision lines in selected cases using local tissue flaps.
