[Scalp infection caused by B-streptococci in a newborn infant following internal cardiotocography].

The paper reports on a newborn developing a scalp abscess 10 days after birth due to fetal monitoring with scalp electrodes. B-streptococci were isolated from purulent material after surgical intervention. The recovery was uneventful after therapy with appropriate antibiotics and removal of the pus (incision). In a short review of literature the authors discuss some of the aspects of infections arising in connection with use of scalp electrodes for fetal monitoring.

[Damage caused by antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents].

Side effects of antibiotics are based on direct toxic effects, depending on dose and excretion function, on allergico-immunological reactions and on interactions with other pharmaca. Furthermore the falsification of laboratory parameters and the disturbance of the microecology are significant. World-wide clinical observations lasting for decades are the basis of the knowledge about frequent and infrequent side effects. As to the most frequently used remedies from the groups of the antibiotics, antimicrobial chemotherapeutics and systemic antimycotics, these side effects were described in detail.

[Infected scalp hematoma].

In a newborn after delivery by vacuum extraction and after application of a scalp electrode for fetal monitoring a cephalhematoma followed by infection due to E. coli was observed.--It was treated by antibiotics and incision. In a brief review of the literature the problems of the origin, diagnostic, and therapy of infected cephalhematoma are discussed. For the detection of local infection and bacteremia the authors emphasize careful bacteriological examinations (aspirate from hematoma, blood culture) as well as radiographs of the skull. The treatment of infected cephalhematoma must consist of antimicrobial chemotherapy and incision of the local process.
