Acute intoxication with ajmaline.

A 57-year-old man ingested 1,000 mg of ajmaline with suicidal intent. He was unconscious, hypotensive and showed serious disturbances in cardiac conduction on admission. High serum and urine levels of ajmaline were found. Although only 4% of the ingested dose was excreted following forced diuresis, all evidence of toxicity disappeared within 21 h.

Acute Disease↗

Regression of malignant thymoma with metastases after treatment with adrenocortical steroids.

A patient with a malignant lymphoepithelial thymoma and pleural metastases is described. Incidental treatment with adrenocortical steroids after an allergic reaction resulted in a marked regression of the masses for a period of 18 months. A second course of treatment resulted in complete radiological regession of the tumors, and the patient has remained symptom free with normal chestX-rays for a further period of 18 months.
