Methohexitone and etomidate for bronchoscopy.

General anaesthesia for bronchoscopy has been provided with either methohexitone or etomidate, with and without fentanyl. Recovery was faster following methohexitone and there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of complications. Inclusion of fentanyl in the technique did not confer any benefits with either drug.

Isolation of an arenavirus closely related to Lassa virus from Mastomys natalensis in south-east Africa.

Five unidentified virus strains were recovered from the multimammate mouse ,Mastomys natalensis, during the course of studies on arbovirus infections in Mozambique. These agents were found to be morphologically and immunologically related to Lassa virus. Four of 19 sera from Mastomys captured in the study area had antibodies to both Lassa virus and one of the unidentified strains. Although not definitive, the differences noted in results of complement fixation and indirect immunofluorescent tests suggest that these viruses from south-east Africa are not identical to West African Lassa virus.
