[Virological studies in acute polyradiculoneuritis, LGBS type. Various findings in relation to Coxsackie A4 virus].

Studies of isolated virus in LCR and necropsy material were made (medulla roots and rachi ganglia) in acute cases of polyradiculoneuritis. Landry-Gullain-Barré-Strohl type. Serological studies with prepared sera were also made (at three week intervals). The results were discussed based on the isolation of a Coxsackie A virus in four cases and the corresponding serological findings.

[Viral meningoencephalitis: late development].

Two years ago, we performed a precocious evolutive EEG study of a specimen not selected from the virus ME to ECHO 4 burst (cepa prima) late 1972 to early 1973 (6). Some time between the appearance of the first symptoms and the 8 weeks following, alterations of cerebral electrogenesis became manifest in this study. These alterations disappeared or dimished in significance in the more tardy outlines: focalization tendency, tendency to change from "suffering" to "irritative" aspect. During this year, the test has been repeated on 82% of these patients, plus at the same time a minimum clinical survey. Until now, the results are the following. There are no clinical signs of the CNS in any case. School progress has not been affected, except moderately, for two patients. The EEG has become totally normal in more than 2/3 of the cases. Persistent EEG net signs of minimum "suffering" in three cases. There are "irritative" generalized signs in only 2 patients and "irritative" certified focal signs in 6 patients. Other EEG manifestations are of doubtful interpretation due to the age of the patients.

[Experiences in neurology education in Cuba].

The state of medicine and neurology in the past years, since 1962, is described. The initial personnel with which neurology and neurosurgery began working, the manner in which the group was formed and the subsequent formation of specialists in this area are commented. We describe the hours and subjects studied by the residents and the modifications that the program has experienced since 1962, until 1971, in which a program of philosophy, social and political lectures, combined with the specialization classes, exists. An evaluation system, created by the group and number of specialists formed since its initiation, also exists. Subsequent to their formation, physicians integrate neurologist and neurosurgeon teams and are situated in areas of provinces which cover a population of 500 000 to 1 500 000 inhabitants.
