[Biloma].

Most cases of biloma are caused by liver trauma or surgical intervention. However, spontaneous cases have been reported. We present a patient with spontaneous biloma which may have developed secondary to stenosis of the common bile duct or infarction of the liver. The initial treatment was percutaneous drainage, followed by ERCP with papillotomy and stenting of the common bile duct. Despite this therapy symptoms recurred and the patient had to undergo resection of a liver segment. The treatment of biloma in general is discussed.

[Hygiene in general practice].

The purpose of this study was to examine how general practitioners handle infection control precautions. The study is based on interviews with 26 general practitioners. The following subjects were included: hand washing, skin disinfection of the patients before injections and minor surgery and disinfection and sterilisation procedures of the instruments. The investigation demonstrated that the precautions varied widely. A manual describing simple and safe infection control precautions in the outpatient setting has been written.

Laboratory experiments to evaluate the ability of Arthrobotrys oligospora to destroy infective larvae of Cooperia species, and to investigate the effect of physical factors on the growth of the fungus.

Laboratory investigations were designed to study the influence of temperature, pH and oxygen tension on the growth of Arthrobotrys oligospora, a nematode-trapping microfungus. Experiments were performed to evaluate the potential role of A. oligospora in destroying third-stage larvae of Cooperia spp. on agar plates and in cattle faeces. The fungus had a growth rate optimum at 23 degrees C and pH 6. Anaerobic cultivation for 23 hours at 23 degrees C and 39 degrees C inhibited fungal growth, but it did not destroy the fungus, which regained growth upon a subsequent shift to aerobic conditions at 23 degrees C. Under experimental conditions in petri-dishes containing agar, the nematode-trapping efficiency of the fungus was striking in that 100% of a population of third-stage larvae of Cooperia spp. was captured within three days of the experiment. The trapping efficiency in faeces was shown to depend upon the inoculation level. At a concentration of approximately 2500 conidia per g faeces, 99% of the larvae were destroyed. The possibilities of using nematode-trapping fungi in controlling animal-parasitic nematodes are discussed.
