Atypical P. vivax and P. ovale morphology in two imported cases of malaria in Spain.

The finding of two imported cases of malaria in Spain is reported. Although their origin, their age and their clinical history were different, they both showed parasites of atypical morphology. One was diagnosed as P. vivax and the other as P. ovale, but the morphology observed in both cases does not correspond to what is considered as normal in the two species. In the first case forms similar to those of P. ovale were observed and in the second case P. vivax-like forms. The findings reported confirm the overlapping morphological variability of the two species.

Pharmacokinetics of cefoxitin during haemofiltration.

The pharmacokinetics of cefoxitin was studied in patients with renal impairment during haemofiltration and in the intervening periods after administration of 30 and 15 mg/kg of the drug, respectively. Different pharmacokinetic patterns were established during haemofiltration and in the interim period, with average elimination half-lives of 11.85 +/- 4.3 and 3.41 +/- 0.6 h, respectively. The average fraction of the cefoxitin dose eliminated in haemofiltration was 0.62 +/- 0.11, more than that established in haemodialysis. In patients with terminal renal impairment undergoing haemofiltration every 48 h, a dose of 15 or 30 mg/kg is recommended at the start and at the end of each haemofiltration session.
