[Antibody binding bacteria in the urine in chronic pyelonephritis].

Using the direct immunofluorescence technique antibody-coated bacteria were demonstrated in urine samples from 49 of 57 patients with the clinical diagnosis of chronic pyelonephritis, but were not observed in urines from 11 patients with cystitis. A correlation rate was found between the presence of antibody-coated bacteria in the urine seidment and elevated serum antibody titers in the pyelonephritis group as determined by the indirect immunofluorescence technique. Patients with elevated serum antibody titers without antibody-coated bacteria in the urine, and vice versa, were also found. Patients with cystitis did not have elevated serum antibody titers against the homologous strain isolated from the urine. The clinical diagnosis of chronic pyelonephritis could be confirmed in 86.5% of patients taking into account the presence of antibody-coated bacteria and/or elevated serum antibody titers.

[Morphometric examinations of placenta in stillbirth].

A total of 10 placentas was examined morphometrically following fetal death in utero. In 8 placentas a reduced fetal vascular surface could be observed. In 2 cases the cause of death could be revealed neither clinically nor patho-anatomically, while morphometric investigations demonstrated considerable restrictions of the vascular surface of the villi. In addition to the usual histological placental diagnostics, the morphometric assessment of placentas is recommended.

[Relationship between morphometric placental studies and clinical biochemical findings in EPH-gestosis].

The relative fetal vascular surface established morphometrically in 22 gestosis placentas was clearly decreased compared to normal placentas. An accordance between the result of the DHEA-S-tolerance test and the relative fetal vascular surface was demonstrable in parts only. On the other hand, we, too, are able to confirm the results described in the literature that the restrictions of the fetal vascular surface correlate with the increase of the gestosis index.

[Use of a new culture procedure in the diagnosis of vaginal mycoses--a contribution on the improvement of diagnosis].

On the basis of our good experiences with the application of the spoon culture procedure in the quantitative bacteriological urine diagnostics, we tested the applicability of the plastic spoon in the diagnostics of vaginal mycoses. Our investigations show that the spoon culture procedure means an optimization and rationalization in mycological diagnostics due to omission of several stages of work and of the risks of transport, and due to improvement of diagnostic reliability and acceleration of the transmission of findings.
