In a health institution in 2000, a premature neonate suffered critical burns. In the submitted case-report the authors describe the successful treatment of this quite exceptional case. Indirectly, they thus also draw attention to the very positive role played by interdisciplinary collaboration under such unusual circumstances.
Inhalation injury is an acute insult of the respiratory tract, caused by steam or toxic inhalants. A suspicion of inhalation trauma (closed-space exposure, facial burns, etc.) is an indication for an immediate endotracheal intubation. Precise objective case history is also very important point for making the diagnosis. Up-to-date methods of examination in case suspicion of inhalation injury are described in our contribution. The main therapeutical points are mentioned as well.

The authors investigated a group of 195 patients from the Centre of Oncological Prevention for human papillomavirus (HPV) in the lower genital tract. The diagnostic set ViraPap/ViraType was used for detection. It is based on double hybridisation of viral DNA and on the use of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies with chemoluminiscent reaction. The test was totally positive in 23.1% of women. 5.1% tests were positive in the low-risk group of viruses (LR-HPV) and 19.5% in the high risk group (HR-HPV). Precancerous lesions (CIN I-III) or invasive cancer were found in 86.7% of positive tests. In patients with CIN III 37.1% were HPV positive and all patients with invasive cancer were positive. The results support an association between CIN and HPV infections. The possible role of HPV in cancerogenesis is discussed as well as the clinical importance of their detection.
