Evaluation of contrast markers for CT aspiration biopsy.
Precision percutaneous needle aspiration biopsy under guidance of computed tomography is facilitated by injection of a small amount of contrast material during the biopsy procedure. CT scan immediately after biopsy clearly documents the biopsy site. There was no adverse effect of the contrast agents on the quality of staining or preservation of cellular architecture. To the contrary, the aspirates obtained after contrast injection were generally better preserved and better stained than the control specimens. This may be due to a decrease in drying, with the more fluid aspirates obtained after contrast injection.

Endocarditis with myocardial abscesses and pericarditis in an adult: group B Streptococcus as a cause.
Group B beta-hemolytic Streptococcus, S agalactiae, is an uncommon cause of endocarditis in adults. We present the clinical, laboratory, and postmortem findings of an adult patient with group B streptococcal endocarditis and major arterial emboli. What to our knowledge are previously unreported features are purulent pericarditis and myocardial abscesses. Twenty-five cases of endocarditis caused by group B Streptococcus that are reported in the literature are reviewed.
