[Campylobacter pylori, its detection and association with common pathologic conditions of the gastro-duodenum].

The authors evaluate clinical experience based on a correlation between the clinical condition and the finding of Campylobacter pylori (CP) in a total of 1027 specimens of the gastric mucosa. They confirmed the high incidence of CP in patients with a fresh duodenal ulcer (g 7%) but also in the inactive stage of duodenal ulcer disease (97.8%) and in patients with a pyloric ulcer (94.4%). An analogous incidence of CP in patients with so-called isolated duodenitis (in the course of the disease no ulcer lesion was ever detected), i.e. in 95.5%, indicates the relationship of this condition with peptic ulcer disease. The authors indicate diagnostic possibilities as regards CP infection by cultivation, rapid urease tests and microscopic examination and they emphasize the practical value of urease tests. Based on their own experience the authors confirm the high eradication effect of bismuth preparations, in particular bismuth subsalicylate and colloid bismuth subcitrate.

Campylobacter

[Pathomorphologic findings after catheterization].

Thrombosis and its complications were studied in a group of 110 autopsies of patients who had had a subclavian vein cannulation. A unique complete obliteration of vena cava superior was found in connection with cannulation thrombosis related to the cause of death. A mycotic septicaemia occurred in two cases. "Floated-off cannules" were presented in five cases.

Shigella sonnei colicine and phage types in East Bohemia region.

From November 1972 to the end of 1975, Shigella sonnei types implicated in dysentery morbidity in a number of districts of East Bohemia region were studied. 301 strains subjected to phage typing and colicine typing were classified into 45 "combined" types. During the study five types prevailed in succession, each for a protracted period of time. Four of these types retained, in the great majority of cases, their original high drug sensitivity throughout the period of their prevalence. Other types were only encountered transiently and sporadically. As a result of a phagerestrictive effect of newly acquired plasmids there occurred, in rare instances in some strains, a change in phage type; or the colicine type changed while the phage type was retained as a result of another col factor having been acquired by the strain. The changes occurred in the course of epidemics.
