Prenatal diagnosis of X-linked mental retardation with fragile (X) using fetoscopy and fetal blood sampling.

Pure fetal blood, (uncontaminated with maternal blood), was obtained from two male fetuses at risk for X-linked mental retardation with fragile(X) at Xq27-28 by direct vision fetoscopy and fetal blood sampling. Both were shown to have this fragile site on the X chromosome while nine other fetal blood samples from pregnancies at risk for other X-linked diseases, or haemoglobinopathies did not show fragile sites at Xq27-28, and a blood sample from an abortus showed only 1 fragile site in 95 mitoses. Both pregnancies were terminated, cultures established from fetal tissues, and the diagnosis confirmed in each case. The problems of demonstrating the fragile site in tissues other than fetal blood in these pregnancies (such as amniotic fluid cells or fibroblasts from fetal tissues) are discussed.

Treatment of canine nasal aspergillosis with enilconazole.

Twenty-four dogs with nasal aspergillosis were treated with enilconazole (10 mg/kg bid for 7-14 days) administered topically through tubes surgically implanted into the nasal chambers. Aspergillosis was eliminated in 19 dogs over a median follow-up period of 18 months. Another dog died, but at necropsy there was no evidence of causative fungus. Two of the four dogs that were not cured had infection of periorbital soft tissues. An additional seven dogs received 6 weeks ketoconazole (5 mg/kg bid PO) and enilconazole therapy topically. Six of these dogs were disease-free over a median follow-up period of 35 months. The seventh dog responded to repeated treatment with enilconazole. Twenty-six of the 29 dogs (90%) without extranasal aspergillosis were cured.
