SummaryThe in vitro susceptibility of 130Neisseria gonorrhoeaestrains isolated in different Belgian * localities in 1980–1981 was determined for penieilline, tetracycline, spectinomycin and thiamphenicol. Among 70 consecutively isolated strains in Antwerp, 5 were producing penicillinase (PPNG). The non-penicillinase producing strains Were sensitive in vitro to the antimicrobials tested. The antimicrobial susceptibility of Belgian gonococcal strains has not changed significantly since 1974 for spectinomycin. In 1981, more strains had a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of penicillin of 0.5 mg/1 or Ilore. The prevalence of gonococcal strains with a MIC of tetracycline of more than 0.5 mg/1 has decreased.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors report a case of primary pericardial mesothelioma.A 40 year-old man was admitted for exertionnal dyspnea and abdominal disconfort.The clinical picture and the chest X-ray were suggestive for a pericardial tamponnade. The echo-cardiographic examination revealed a«swinging heart».Despite numerous investigations, including analysis of the pericardial fluid, the diagnosis has only can be made by the port-mortem examination.The authors pointed out the difficulties of diagnosis and the need to perform rapidly a thoracotomy in front of a relapsing hemorragic effusion.The recent world literature is briefly reviewed.

摘要:

SummaryIn a 47 year old man with a IgG myeloma a ASL-O titer of 1: 62.500 T.U. was observed. After isolation of the M-protein from the other serum proteins, the monoclonal IgG fraction contained all the antistreptolysin activity. The ASL-O titer and the IgG concentration both decreased under the influence of a cytotoxic treatment. The ASL-O activity of the paraproteins was demonstrated with the hemolysis inhibition test, whereas with the Blue Aso test no passive agglutination was obtained. This discrepancy can be explained by the idiotypic Specificity of the monoclonal ASL-O activity.

摘要:

SummaryAfter ingestion of 15 g of lithium carbonate a 38-year-old man presented hyperthermia, a 4-week stuporous state, muscular and reflex hyperirritability, attacks of opisthotonos, nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure, and a severe, prolonged but reversible primary testicular failure. Cerebral atrophy, dysmetria, dysarthria, ataxia and hyperreflexia were still present after one year.Thus, acute lithium overdosage may be lifethreatening, affect various organs, and cause persistent brain damage.

摘要:

SummaryMushrooms intoxication is rare in Belgium. Consequently, physicians do not know much about it. The purpose of the present article is to present a clinical approach allowing the diagnoses of the common intoxications.From the«incubation»period, and the symptoms, it is possible to identify the toxin and to estimate the severity of the intoxication.A comprehensive treatment should follow.

SummaryThe authors present a case of self-induced fever by auto-inoculation in a heroin addict. The initial diagnosis was tricuspid endocarditis.Endocarditis in the heroin addict and selfinduced lesions by auto-inoculation are briefly discussed.

摘要:

SummaryA case is described of mixed monoclonal cryoglobulinemia associated with benign IgM-kappa gammapathy. The presenting symptoms were enclosed in the triad of purpura—arthralgia—renal disease. There was full recovery for more than seven months after initial therapy with plasmapheresis and subsequent combined therapy with corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors report a case of acute non lymphoblastic leukemia, amoeboid movement configuration variant, which followed an indolent course. Only symptomatic treatment was given, consisting in red cell transfusions.Experimentally different kinds of lymphoid stimulations can induce such a configuration. In clinical observations, cells with an amoeboid movement configuration have been encountered in several hematologic diseases, malignant or not, of lymphoid and non-lymphoid lineages.Several hypotheses relative to the biological significance of such cell configurations are presented. Their prognostic value in cases of acute leukemia is also mentioned.

摘要:

SummaryHypocalcemia may complicate osteoblastic metastases. The study of parathyroid status in these cases gave discrepant results. A patient with asymptomatic hypocalcemia and breast cancer is described. Immunoreactive parathormone was inappropriately low in the basal state and after sodium EDTA infusion. Parathyroid failure could have been idiopathic, secondary to parathyroid metastases or, less likely, to external irradiation.
