Each of tri-zygotic female triplets was found to have a right-sided sliding inguinal hernia. Although inguinal hernia has been previously diagnosed in twins, as well as in relatives of patients with hernias, a genetic basis for the condition has not been established.

Haemangiomas of the breast in children.

Capillary hemangioma of the breast parenchyma is a rare finding in the pediatric age group. The condition was diagnosed in two children, aged 18 months and three years. Such lesions have occasionally been found during histologic surveys among asymptomatic adult women. Although vascular tumors in the adult breast are often found to be sarcomatous, the pediatric lesion is benign and responds well to simple excision.

Penetration of clindamycin and metronidazole into the appendix and peritoneal fluid in children.

Thirty-one children underwent appendectomy following administration of a single i.v. dose of clindamycin 10 mg/kg or metronidazole 7.5 mg/kg. The serum levels of the antibiotics at that time were comparable, but the tissue concentration of clindamycin in the appendix (mean 7.23 micrograms/g) exceeded that of metronidazole (mean 2.27 micrograms/g). The concurrent mean concentration of metronidazole in peritoneal fluid (14.26 micrograms/ml) was higher than that of clindamycin (7.72 micrograms/ml).
