A prospective, comparative, random study was conducted with 40 patients treated with ebastine vs. terfenadine. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of both as second generation antihistamines used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Ten milligrams of ebastine was administered once a day before breakfast (fasting), in 5 and 10 year old children and 20 mg in 11 to 15 year olds. Ebastine was more efficient in the control of symptoms (rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, sneezing, eye and nose itching) than terfenadine from the seventh day on, (p 0.05). Tolerance to ebastine was good, although a small number of patients (1.5%) suffered collateral symptoms: sleepiness, headaches and nausea. The two doses of ebastine (10 or 20 mg depending on the patients age) had overall efficacy rates better than terfenadine (p 0.05%).

From 1982 to 1991, we experienced 76 patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia which were confirmed by serologic tests. There were 32 (42%) male and 44 (58%) female patients. One patient had underlying disease of diabetes mellitus while the other patients were in good health. The age ranged from 9 months old to 72 years old. All the patients complained of fever and coughing; 63% had dry cough and 37% had sputum production. Upper respiratory tract complaints such as rhinorrhea, sore throat, or earache were noted in 57% of the patients. Fifty-five percent of the patients had GI symptoms of anorexia, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Other complaints included myalgia/arthralgia (29%), headache (30%), and general malaise (32%). Dyspnea (17%) and chest pain (20%) were occasional complaints. Seventy-one percent of the patients had WBC counts < 10000/cu mm and 29% > 10000/cu mm. The mean value of C-reactive protein (CRP) was 53.1 micrograms/ml, while 16% of the patients had a CRP value above 100 micrograms/ml. Thirty-one percent of the patients were noted to have a transient elevation of serum transaminase. Four different patterns of infiltration were seen in chest radiographic manifestation: 1) peribronchial and perivascular interstitial infiltrates (18.4%), 2) nonhomogeneous patchy consolidations (22.4%), 3) homogeneous acinar consolidations (27.6%), and 4) mixed interstitial and alveolar infiltrates (27.6%). Interstitial infiltration was more commonly seen in pediatric than adult patients (46% vs 20%). Other features of the radiologic manifestation were as follows: unilateral lesions in 80% of patients, single lobe lesions in 77%, lower lobe predominant in 69%, pleural effusion in 7%, and radiographic deterioration in 10%. Mycoplasmal pneumonia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonias.

Rotavirus (44.7%), adenovirus (5.6%), small round structured viruses such as astrovirus (9.8%) and Norwalk like virus (6.9%) were detected by latex agglutination and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction amplification from 378 stool samples in an outpatient clinic of Pediatrics in Maizuru area from 1991 to 1994. 70.0% were found from 6 months to 2 years old and 91.0% were detected from January to April. Serotype 1 astrovirus and group 2 Norwalk like virus were mainly found in all serotypes in each virus. Diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, fever, cough and rhinorrhea, and severity of diseases were examined in each case. Fever is significantly found in patients with rotavirus. Sporadic cases with small round structured viruses were recognized in the outpatient clinic of pediatrics.

Fifteen bus drivers, operating diesel converted trolley buses, experienced symptoms including watery and itchy eyes, rhinorrhea, and headaches. A total of 49 buses were labeled as "problem buses" and operators refused to drive them. An investigation identified high fungal counts in some problem buses (> 70,000 colony forming units [CFU]/m3; n = 3) compared with control buses (< 220 CFU/m3; n = 4). The predominant species were Penicillium and Cladosporium (1/1). Remedial measures, including washing with a 0.17% solution of sodium hypochlorite and an ozone treatment, were not successful. Because fungal species are heat sensitive, two buses were subjected to a heat treatment of 55 degrees C for 4 hours. In one bus the fungal spores of Cladosporium appeared to be more heat sensitive than the spores of Penicillium. At this point the interior of one bus was completely renewed and another was given a formaldehyde treatment followed by heat treatments. Both strategies reduced fungal counts to 190 from > 107,000 CFU/m3 for the former and to 270 from > 71,000 CFU/m3 for the latter. Only the interior of the most heavily contaminated buses were refurbished prior to the heat treatment, which was done on all problem buses. All buses are still in active service 5 years later. The most frequent health symptoms reported by 88 exposed bus drivers were headache (36%), blocked/runny/itchy nose (26%), nausea (26%), and dry irritated throat (25%). No chronic health effects have been reported after 5 years, although some of these common fungal species are known to be opportunistic pathogens.

A man aged 61 had recurrent attacks of severe shock. The episodes were preceded by symptoms such as a runny nose, epigastric discomfort with nausea, vertigo, orthostatism and sometimes light fever. During the attacks there were marked hypotension, a strong rise of the haematocrit, a decrease of the protein and albumin concentrations in the blood and prerenal kidney failure. In addition, there was a paraprotein, type IgG-kappa. The shock every time responded rapidly to intravenous administration of fluid and was followed by a period of substantial polyuria. The pattern was characteristic of systemic capillary leak syndrome, a rare but frequently fatal disease characterized by episodes of unexplained extravasation of plasma. The aetiology and pathogenesis are unknown. Attacks are suppressed by supportive therapy (administration of fluids, inotropics) and future attacks may be prevented by the intake of terbutaline and theophylline. The systemic capillary leak syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of idiopathic and anaphylactic shock.

A forty-four-year-old Japanese female, who had persistant rhinorrhea, was administered Benza block tablets orally along with two other medicines. Immediately after ingestion, the patient displayed itching of the right upper eyelid, followed by coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, nausea, vomiting, swelling of the face, and dyspnea. She had edema, a wheal extending from the face to the neck, and swelling of the eyelids and lips. Her symptoms subsided after treatment. Her reaction to ibuprofen, which was contained in the Benza Block tablets, was confirmed by a positive reaction to prick testing. From the results of these examinations, our patient was diagnosed as having anaphylaxis due to the ibuprofen in the Benza Block tablets. A review of the literature revealed no previous reports of anaphylaxis due to ibuprofen, although a few cases of ibuprofen urticaria have been reported.

A 48-year-old male suffering with SUNCT (severe unilateral neuralgiform headache with conjunctival injection and tearing, rhinorrhea and sub-clinical sweating) presented in 1996 after a 10-year history of multiple failed therapies. The symptoms included strictly left-sided ocular, as well as facial and temple pain. The pain attacks were burning, sharp, shooting and occurred 25 times daily, lasting 2 to 3 minutes with tearing and conjunctival injection. There was no associated nausea or vomiting, but there was photophobia. No other autonomic changes were reported and the pain was not triggerable. Initially Indocin (indomethacin) was tried without significant benefit. Gabapentin (Neurontin) was then started with improvement at 1800 mg per day. The patient was then lost to follow-up for 3 years, as he moved from the Los Angeles area. He returned in 1999 having stopped the gabapentin after his prescription ran out in 1996, reporting the pain returned immediately. Again gabapentin was prescribed and at 900 mg three times daily he has been pain free for 12 months.

Primary vascular-type craniofacial pain comprises a group of pain disorders that share common diagnostic features. These are unilateral, episodic, pulsatile, severe pain. Accompanying phenomena include local autonomic (e.g., tearing, rhinorrhea) and systemic signs (e.g., nausea, photophobia). Primary vascular-type craniofacial pain includes migraine, cluster headache, and paroxysmal hemicrania. A new diagnostic entity, vascular orofacial pain, is suggested. Treatment of primary vascular-type craniofacial pain depends on its more specific diagnosis, and may be abortive or prophylactic. Diagnostic features, common pathophysiological mechanisms, and treatment modalities are discussed.

A 73-year-old man consumed a decoction of the medicinal herb Erycibe henri Prain ("Ting Kung Teng"), as recommended in traditional Chinese medicine for arthritis. Shortly, he developed a cholinergic syndrome that included dizziness, diaphoresis, chills, lacrimation, salivation, rhinorrhea, nausea, and vomiting. He was also hypothermic and hypotensive. Notable laboratory values included a normal serum cholinesterase and transiently elevated blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and glucose. There is no previous report on the toxicity due to this herb in the literature. Active constituents of the herb include a number of tropane alkaloids, one of which possesses cholinergic rather than anticholinergic activities. A study conducted on mice, with a related herb, has demonstrated renal, hepatic, and erythrocyte toxicity.
