Purification of six neurotoxins from the venom of Dendroaspis viridis. Primary structure of two long toxins.
Six neurotoxins were purified from Dendroaspis viridis venom using gel filtration and equilibrium chromatography. The amino acid sequences of two of these neurotoxins (72 and 73 residues, five disulphide bridges) have been determined using almost exclusively automated Edman degradation. These two sequences are very similar: the only differences lies in the presence of one extra glycine at the C-terminal end of one of them. There is a good homology with the sequences of toxins now isolated from other Elapidae and Hydrophidae venoms.

Tracheobronchial aspergillosis in a patient with AIDS treated with aerosolized amphotericin B combined with itraconazole.
The clinical features of a tracheobronchial infection due to Aspergillus flavus in an AIDS patient with a normal neutrophil count is described. Diagnosis was made by culture and microscopic examination of biopsies obtained from bronchial vegetations seen at bronchoscopy. Radiographic examination of the neck revealed the presence of large endoluminal fungal masses. Initially the patient was treated with a combination of itraconazole, flucytosine and aerosolized amphotericin B, then only with itraconazole plus aerosolized amphotericin B. A good therapeutic response was observed.
