[Clinical aspects of early summer meningoencephalitis in Styria].
117 cases of clinically manifest tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in Styria, Austria, the years 1987 to 1990 are reported in terms relevant anamnestic data, clinical findings (meningitis, meningoencephalitis, meningoradiculitis) and course. The geographic distribution corresponds to the known endemic areas for TBE in Styria. We found a significant decrease of incidence. The prognosis of the disease was benign in general; more than 80% ran a course free from complications. A small proportion (5%), however, suffer from severe residual handicap. These patients are subsumed under the group of meningo-radiculitides. Two patients (1.8%) acquired the disease despite having been vaccinated regularly.

[Sialolithiasis].
Affections of the major salivary glands are relatively rare in stomatology; but according to the indications of several authors, the proportion of sialolithiasis to the total amount of affections of the salivary glands (ranging from 20.5 to 55.5%) is great. The concretions are, as a rule, located in the duct system of the submandibular gland where they may reach, circumstances permitting, considerable sizes. The author's own investigations evidence that these calculi have a partly regular, partly irregular shell-like structure around a non-calcified centre. Chemical analysis by means of X-ray diffractometry revealed hydroxyapatite varying in the degree of cristallinity as the major component. Precursors in the form of octacalcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate have been disclosed. Salivary calculi must be removed (most frequently by surgical intervention) to avoid secondary diseases of the duct system of the respective gland.
