The authors analyse 24 observations of retinal detachment with macular hole in high myopia. All this patients have been treated by C3F8 internal tamponade. Silicon oil has been only used for recurrences. After a study of vitreoretinal connections, the cause of recurrences are analysed according to echometry, detachment degree and proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
In three separate surveys involving 413 patients in Mbabane (Swaziland), Nairobi (Kenya), and Carletonville (South Africa), Mycoplasma hominis was isolated from the base of ulcers in 41 (16%) of 251 men with genital ulcer disease. Antibodies to M. hominis were detected by indirect hemagglutination in 89 (51%) of 176 such patients. Of these male patients, 15% and 6% had indirect hemagglutinating antibodies at titers of greater than or equal to 160 and greater than or equal to 640, respectively. The rate of isolation of M. hominis and the results of serologic tests for antibodies to this organism were the same whether or not a cause of genital ulcer disease was identified.
