Typing of multiple isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci from blood cultures and cerebrospinal fluid in neonates and children: an approach to discriminate contaminants.

From eight neonates and children suspicious for suffering from septicemia and/or meningitis, coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) were isolated from multiple blood cultures and from cerebrospinal fluids originating from different punctures. S. epidermidis was the predominant species. By a further typing using plasmid-profiles and exoprotein patterns besides the resistance phenotype, contaminants could be discriminated from the isolates as the probable etiologic agent exhibiting unique reaction patterns. CNS isolated from cases of septicemia together with other bacterial pathogens or from cases of presumed but not confirmed septicemia revealed as different.

[Growth rate of glioblastoma multiforme].

The velocity of events in cases of glioblastomas is well known. In spite of modern methods of examination the perceivability can miss. By one's own experiences the value of the unchanged role of clinical and neurological examination is point out.

[Recommendations for the diagnosis and therapy of meningitis, Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome and encephalitis in childhood].

Representatives of the working group of "Neuropaediatrics" and "Infectology" like to present recommendations on diagnostics and treatment of infectious diseases on the CNS. Individual opinions can not be considered in recommendations always. Therefore we have to understand these recommendations in this way that individual decisions will not be restricted in special situations.

[B-streptococci infection in the newborn (author's transl)].

The authors describe their experiences with the treatment of 3 newborns with meningitis due to B-streptococci,, and give a review of the problems of etiology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis and therapy of infections with B-streptococci in newborns. Furthermore, the article deals withthe frequency of the ocurrence of these bacteria in mothers, children and in the medical personal staff as well as with the possible ways of transmission. The relations between infections with B-streptococci and respiratory distress syndrome in newborns are discussed with the problems of differential diagnosis and therapy.

[Post-perfusion syndrome in childhood (author's transl)].

Following cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation three children became ill with a postperfusion syndrome. Besides typical clinical and haematological findings (fever, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphomonocytosis with "atypical" lymphocytes) demonstration of characteristic antibody sequential titres (IgG and IgM antibodies against cytomegalovirus) was possible. The importance of this syndrome rests in the problems of differential diagnosis which occur at the beginning of clinical symptoms (differentiation from endocarditis, septicaemia, hepatitis).

[Identification of Mycobacterium rhodochrous as the causative agent of pericarditis in a small child].

In a child aged 2 5/12 years with a suppurating pericarditis mycobacterium rhodochrous was grown from a blood culture and was regarded as the causative organism of the disease. By means of chemotherapy and surgical measures we succeeded in a complete cure of the process without complications. The problems of microbiological diagnostics, particularly of the taxonomic differentiation of these causative organisms as well the therapy of the infections produced by them are discussed.
