[The influence of radium therapie on the yeast contamination of the vagina (author's transl)].

Before the beginning of radium therapy a vaginal yeast contamination of 9,7% was found of 113 patients with different genital carcinomas. However, the incidence of vaginal yeast contamination increased suddenly to 30,9% under the contac irradiation therapy with radium. The radiation effect of radium is not sufficient for a "selfsterilisation" of the radium-carrier in the case of yeast contamination. Therefore, a chemic desinfection of the radium-carriers is principly necessary. The significance of radium therapy with respect to vaginal yeast contamination is discussed and the recommendation is made that routine mycological supervision be carried out on all patients with gynaecological carcinomas and appropriate antimycotic therapy initiated where necessary.

[Phasecontrast cytology for intraoperative diagnosis of malignant breast lesions (author's transl)].

The efficacy of a cytodiagnostic method using a wet preparation of freshly exstirpated suspected tumorous breast tissue and phasecontrast microscopy has been evaluated in 430 cases. 95% of the carcinomas present were found with this method. The rate of wrongly positive cytological findings was less than 1%. It is discussed what advantages of this method can be achieved by a well trained cytologist for the patient and the surgical organisation. Further this new method is a means to check the frozen section findings.

Are yeasts in vaginal smears intracellular or extracellular?

Using light microscopic cytodiagnosis the only thing that can be said about the position of the yeast cells in relation to the epithelial cells is that the epithelial cells and the parasite are very close to one another. It is not possible to say whether both elements are only temporarily projected above one another or in direct contact. This question can only be answered unequivocally with the aid of the electron microscope. It is possible to verify that the yeast cells, despite their size, are able to invade intact epithelial cells and are capable of reproduction within these same cells.
