[Genital tuberculosis in a 14-year-old girl].

The authors report the case of a 14 year-old girl presenting with pulmonary, adrenal and genital tuberculosis. Pelvic pain was the presenting symptom. Association of familial contamination, phlyctenular Mantoux test, apex infiltrate with a calcified nodule on chest x-ray film and numerous pelvic calcifications on plain films of the abdomen led to diagnosis. The authors emphasize the importance of the supervision of Mantoux test and the necessity of treatment of any latent primary tuberculosis.

Mucoid impaction of bronchi. A scanning electron microscopic study.

An example of mucoid impaction in the culminal bronchus in a potentially asthmatic child is related. Histological sections of the plug showed the characteristic pattern with clusters of eosinophils and other cells within the impacted mucus, which consisted of mainly sulfated glycoproteins. Scanning electron microscopy revealed new data on the three-dimensional structure of the plug. Ten to fifteen micron thick fascicles of partially rolled-up mucous fibres surrounded wide meshes filled with eosinophils and other components. As far as can be determined, this is the first reported ultrastructural description of this particular lesion.

[Treatment of ventricular septal defects with pulmonary hypertension in infancy (author's transl)].

188 infants presenting with ventricular septal defects associated with pulmonary hypertension underwent early surgical treatment. Overall death rate was 10% (6% since 1979 and even 0% in case of single defects operated on between the ages of 6 and 12 months). Surgical results were excellent in 48 controlled cases operated on during the 1st year of life. When surgery was performed later, risk of residual pulmonary hypertension remained in cases with equal pressure levels. Our results suggest that all the infants who do not respond properly to medical treatment must be operated on and that those with a major pulmonary hypertension have to be operated on during there second semester of life.
