The unusual case of a 60 year-old woman is discussed. She presented with sialadenitis, paresis of the facial nerve, keratoconjunctivitis and ulcus vulvae. Basic anamnestic information revealed primary enlargement of the submandibular gland, fever, otitis, sinusitis and a pulmonary tumour. The serum immunoglobulin E level was raised. In addition to the necrotic granulomas in the lungs, spleen and kidney, characteristic changes were found in the lymph nodes, liver, pancreas and colon.

An outbreak of severe dysentery-like disease developed in a pensioners' home in autumn 1979, with 30 out of 75 exposed persons becoming involved. The agent was E. coli O 164 (serotype 147) resembling Shigella in some of its properties. Positive cultivations were obtained from 18 patients out of a total of 54 subjects examined. The isolates produced keratoconjunctivitis in guinea-pigs. An unusual feature marking the onset of the illness in about half of the patients was a transient paresis of the lower extremities. The outbreak was suppressed with peroral neomycin. This was the second instance of E. coli O 164 isolation in Czechoslovakia and the first record of its ability to cause an epidemic process.
