Cystic fibrosis of the pancreas. Diagnosis by sodium electrode sweat tests.

One of the most difficult and unreproducible procedures in clinical laboratories has been the measurement of electrolytes in sweat. The iontophoresis techniques for the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis of the pancreas, which are widely used, are fraught with difficulties.Measurement of sweat electrolytes with sodium or chloride electrodes is gradually replacing the iontophoresis methods. A simple modification of the sodium electrode technique was used for diagnosis in 11 cystic fibrosis patients and in 260 normal children. The values obtained with the sodium electrode clearly separated the normal children from those with cystic fibrosis.

[Myocardial damage as a rare complication of mucoviscidosis].

A postmortem examination was performed on a male child who had lived to twelve months of age, at the Institute of Pathology of the Medical Faculty of Comenius University in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. The clinical diagnosis had been mucoviscidosis, bronchopneumonia, and dystrophy. Findings characteristic of cystic pancreas fibrosis and bronchopneumonia of the right lower lung lobe were macroscopically recorded and were microscopically established. Massive fibrotic and necrotic lesions were primarily recorded from the left cardiac ventricle and were considered to be unusual findings. Damage to the myocardium is a very rare complication of mucoviscidosis. Less than 50 cases have so far been described, according to Benesová et al. (1983).
