We examined a group of 22 patients presented with the acute infective meningeal syndrome. Lumbar punction confirmed diagnosed purulent meningitis--meningoencephalitis, and bacteriologic liquor culture identified Streptococcus pneumoniae as a cause of the disease. Patients were mostly aged over 30. Clinical picture revealed signs of general infection and the meningeal syndrome. The severity of the disease was assessed on the basis of apparent signs of general infection, state of consciousness and endotoxic shock symptoms. Severe consciousness disorders were present in 16 (72.72%) patients. In our patients possible pneumococcus infection foci were: sinusitis, otitis media, pneumonia, mastoiditis and adnexitis. Lethal outcome occurred in 5 (22.72%) patients. In the therapy we used penicillin, chloramphenicol and ampicillin along with corticosteroid administration.

Abdominal actinomycoses with genital localization are relatively rare, but their occurrence has been increasing recently due to more extensive use of IUDs. After a brief review of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease, 3 cases of IUD-induced genital actinomycosis are described. All 3 women were in their 40s. In 2 cases, the disease developed within a week after the IUD had been extracted. The patients were hospitalized with a diagnosis of adnexitis, which was confirmed by histological tests, anaerobic cultures, and microscopic examination. In all 3 cases, surgery was followed by antibiotic therapy with megadoses of crystalline PNC, Entisol, and subsequent long-term treatment with ampicillin. The treatment was successful; the women recovered to an almost normal gynecological condition.
