[Density of immunoreactive cells in the spleen in drug fatalities].

66 autopsied drug-related death cases in the Institute of Legal Medicine of Cologne of the years 1979 to 1989 were morphologically examined to get information whether cytological investigations of the spleen reveal a damage of the immune system. The weights of the spleen were registered and immunoreactive cells, i.e. macrophages, B- and T-lymphocytes, were quantitative counted. Neither a significant alteration of the weights of the spleen nor an important change of the density of the immunoreactive cells could be registered.

[Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis].

We report the case of a 33-year-old man who suddenly died with the symptoms of a cardio-respiratoric insufficiency. As cause of death we found pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (MAP) with intra-alveolar calcifications and fibrosis of the alveolar margin. It is not known whether this diagnosis was found during lifetime. In our forensic experience we never met a case of this rare illness causative of sudden natural death.

[Pituitary changes after craniocerebral injuries and their correlation to localisation and time of surviving (author's transl)].

62 pituitary glands were examined after craniocerebral injuries of different seriousness. Primary and secondary changes of the pituitary gland depend on localisation and direction of violence, dimension of intracranial haemorrhage and other cerebral changes, therapeutical measures and time of surviving. Primary pituitary lesions occur likewise with isolated fractures of the calvarium and facial skull, but also without fractures of the skull. On the other hand fractures of the base of the skull including the sella do not necessarily result in traumatic pituitary lesions.
