[The efficiency of an original selective medium in isolating and identifying gram-negative bacteria in urinary tract infections].

The authors examined 449 samples of urine, bacteriologically important for the minor infection, collected from the patients with clinical forms of urinary infection. Using a selective medium--CMV, enteric agar (Romanian patent--9345/1989), 567 strains of gram-negative germs, chemically belonging to group I (Enterobacteria)-475/83.77%, or to groups II-VI, 66/11.64% were isolated. Other 20 strains, 4.69% could not be identified. Of the total of samples, 333/74.16% were with monobacterial flora versus 116/25.83% samples with pluribacterial flora referring to Enterobacteria associated among them--64/55.17% or to Enterobacteria associated to other gram-negative germs--33/30.17%. Likewise, double or multiple associations among the germs outside the Enterobacteriaceae family were found. The results showed the etiologic participation of 22 bacterial species to which other nonidentified gram-negative microorganisms were added. Our data, more comprehensive than the mentions of the other authors show the efficiency of the culture medium experimented. It has the following advantages: the isolated colonies have a wide chromatic and structural range, showing, in fact, the reactions between the bacterial enzymes and the substances belonging to the medium;--it identifies directly, in the isolation slides, some frequently met species;--it guides sensibly the pricking out; it permits the establishment of the proportion among the types of colonies.

[Observations on 4 atypical cases of blastocystosis].

The paper reports on four atypical cases of blastocystosis with prevalence of digestive and cutaneous disorders and of the allergic and general phenomena. The diagnosis could be established only after revealing Blastocystis hominis in the fecal parasitologic examination. The disappearance, in all the four cases, of varied clinical, delayed signs after treatment with metronidazol and stamycine (in two or even four repeated treatment schedules at 10 days' interval) is the proof that Bl. hominis might be the agent (unique or associated with other parasites) of some polymorphous disorders. Our findings are a call to specialists and clinicians for investigating the parasite and using an adequate treatment.

[Dynamics of intestinal parasitic diseases in a students' hospital].

The present study, carried out in 1972-1975, extends, previous investigations on the dynamics of parasitic intestinal diseases. A number of 2723 Romanian and foreign students admitted to a students' hospital were investigated, finding 402 positive cases. Blood eosinophilia was likewis determined in 227 of these cases. There was a 3% decrease in the incidence of parasitic diseases, more marked among the foreign students. The most frequently encountered parasite was Tricocephalus; lambliasis showed a slight increase. The importance of coproparasitologic and haematologic examinations for the prevention, detection and treatment of parasitic diseases in the community investigated is emphasized.
