Treatment of adenoviral pneumonitis with intravenous ribavirin and immunoglobulin.
A 67 year old woman developed a severe adenoviral pneumonitis whilst receiving immunosuppressive therapy. She showed clinical and radiological evidence of a response to treatment with nebulised and intravenous ribavirin and intravenous pooled normal human immunoglobulin. To our knowledge this is the first time that such a therapeutic approach has been used in the treatment of a condition which normally carries a very high mortality.

Sarcoidosis presenting with chylothorax.
A patient in whom chylothorax was the presenting feature of sarcoidosis is reported. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy was shown by computed tomographic scanning. Obstruction of the thoracic duct by enlarged lymph nodes or fibrosis is the probable cause of chylothorax in this case. The association of chylothorax and sarcoidosis is extremely rare.

Use of thermal imaging to monitor crural thrombolysis.
Intra-arterial thrombolysis is increasingly being used as the treatment of choice in selected cases of critical limb ischaemia. At present angiography is the established method of monitoring the progress of thrombolysis. We report a case in which thermal imaging was used in conjunction with angiography to monitor the effects of thrombolysis.
