[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.

Heat stroke, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are the most important heat syndromes. Heat stroke must be recognized as a medical emergency. Inappropriate delay in diagnosis and treatment may lead to death caused by functional impairment or irreversible damage to almost every organ of the system. The history, clinical findings and outcome are described in four patients with heat injury during a 13-km military cross country race. Pathophysiology, complications, treatment and prevention of heat illness are discussed.
