The absolute configuration of an enantiomer of the title compound, (+/-)-1. fumaric acid salt, was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis of (+)-1 [salt of (+)-tartaric acid [(+)-2]]. This salt for X-ray crystallographic analysis was prepared by a simple method. The analysis of (+)-1 [salt of (+)-2] showed that this enantiomer has the 5-S and 1-R absolute configuration. The final R and Rw values were 0.0614 and 0.0713, respectively.

A five day course of clavulanate-potentiated amoxicillin (Augmentin) has been compared with a single oral dose of fosfomycin trometamol in the treatment of patients complaining of symptoms suggesting urinary tract infection. The study took place in a single urban general practice of 15,000 patients in Cheshire. The microbiology was performed at a London Teaching Hospital. 141 patients entered the trial. 65 had a significant bacteriuria, 62 of which were assessable for the ability of the trial drugs to eradicate bacteriuria: 29 patients received clavulanate-potentiated amoxicillin and 33 fosfomycin trometamol. The cure rates, assessed at five to ten days and at four to six weeks post treatment, were 72% and 65%, respectively for clavulanate-potentiated amoxicillin and 85% and 81%, respectively for fosfomycin trometamol. Side effects, assessed in all 141 patients, occurred in 11.6% receiving clavulanate-potentiated amoxicillin and in 8.3% receiving fosfomycin. Statistically there is no difference between any of these findings and the effect of sample size is discussed. 69 patients were symptomatic but did not have a significant bacteriuria ("urethral syndrome"). These patients were assessed for the effect of treatment in relieving symptoms: 33 received fosfomycin trometamol and 36 clavulanate-potentiated amoxicillin. The success and speed of relieving the symptoms were very similar in the two groups. The finding that both groups responded equally well appears to refute an aetiological role for lactobacilli and diphtheroids in the "urethral syndrome", since these organisms are resistant to fosfomycin but sensitive to clavulanate-potentiated amoxicillin.
A 19 year old patient presented with the typical constellation of sarcoidosis. In the presence of indefinable pulmonary infiltrates, hypercalcemia, raised angiotensin converting enzyme and even evidence of giant and epitheloid cell granulomas, cocaine abuse should be considered. Chronic inhalative cocaine abuse can cause foreign body associated granulomatosis of the lung and other organs. It is important to establish this differential diagnosis by confidential interview and systematic polarisation microscopy to detect foreign material in tissues: unnecessary therapies with potential side effects should be avoided and drug weaning with rehabilitation of the patient should be initiated. However the potential for rapid progressive respiratory failure should not be underestimated.
