[Anthrax meningitis].

Anthrax meningitis may complicate cutaneous, inhalation, or gastrointestinal anthrax, although it occurs in less than 5% of patients. Between 1935 and 1985 60 cases of human anthrax were notified in Switzerland. This report of a fatal case in a 54-year-old woman is the third case of inhalation anthrax and the second of meningeal complication with cortical hemorrhages in our country. There was no known source of infection. The clinical, microbiological and histopathological profile, therapy and prognosis are presented.

[Prolonged renal graft survival induced by blood transfusion (author's transl)].

All renal allotransplants performed at the Cantonal Hospital, Zurich, in 1975 and 1976 were analysed with respect to pre-transplant blood transfusions, excluding secondary transplants, patients on dialysis outside of Switzerland, combined renal and pancreatic transplants, and women with previous pregnancies but without transfusions. Among 72 patients left for analysis there were 16 who had never received any pre-transplant blood transfusion. Their graft survival was much worse (one-year graft survival 36%) than that in patients with previous transfusions (one-year graft survival 70--80%). Patients without previous blood transfusion should, therefore, no longer be admitted for renal transplantation.

[Stomach perforation and other complications after splenectomy].

The complications of 151 cases of splenectomy are analyzed, the methods of their prevention discussed. As a special complication two cases of gastric fistula following splenectomy are reported. As prevention we recommend several broad Lembert sutures to invert the entire danger zone.
