[Extremly high frequency of infantil pulmonary thrombo-embolism (author's transl)].

Among 5 875 children with a lifetime between 24 hours to 14 years, autopsiated during period 1951-1970, were found 115 cases of naked eye pulmonary thrombo-embolism. 96 cases occurred in children with a lifetime between 24 hours and 4 years. This extremly high frequency is caused by an unusually high number of thrombosis in renal veins and craneal sinuses, following severe diarrhetic diseases with deshydratation and haemoconcentration. Severity and frequency of this enterocolitis of different aetiology, affecting especially children of poor people, are favoured by the climatic, sanitarious and socio-economical conditions of Valencia. Surprisingly, literature do not mention comparables observations about infantil pulmonary thrombo-embolism, observed in territories of similar structure.

[Hospital infection of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in infants and small children].

Routine histological investigations of the lungs of 38 children led to the discovery during the second half of 1970 of 4 cases of pulmonary aspergillosis in hospitalized children between 3 1/2 weeks and 2 years of age. Those cases represented 10.5% of all children, autopsiated during this period with an hospitalization period of more than 7 days. In two cases Aspergillus filaments did not invade pulmonary tissue, but in the two other cases Aspergillus mycelium had invaded the walls of adjacent pulmonary arteries with resultant arteritis, thrombosis and hemorrhagic infarction. The author believes, that the mycoses were acquired by inhalation of contaminated air. But he can not base this supposition of factual evidence.
