[Long term results after funnel chest reconstruction (author's transl)].

The results of 25 funnel chest operations are reported. All patients have been treated by a modified Ravitch method. Fixation of the anterior chest wall was achieved by inserting two metal wires. Cosmetic and functional results were critically examined postoperatively. For clinical assessment the cardiorespiratory and ergometric tests were analysed. Cosmetic results were graded by the classification of Hecker. All patients showed a very good cosmetic result. The functional situation could be improved only partially.

Miliary mycoplasmal pneumonia: a report of six cases.

Six cases of miliary pneumonia are reported, in which the marked increase in antibody titers showed that Mycoplasma pneumoniae was the probable cause. The clinical picture of these patients showed an acute and severe onset, with the appearance of diffuse alveolitis. The outcome of the disease depended on the time of initiation of treatment in relationship to the onset of symptoms. One case was seen to progress to fibrosing alveolitis with persistent impairment of diffusion. This observation suggests the possibility that some cases of pulmonary fibrosis of unknown aetiology may be due to previous mycoplasmal infection.
