Eleven patients were operated on for acute appendicitis during pregnancy, in labor or during the puerperium. All patients had acute, gangrenous or perforated appendicitis. There was no fetal or maternal mortality, although three patients developed postoperative pneumonia, pelvic phlegmon or wound infection. The physical findings of appendicitis are altered by the displacement of the appendix by the uterus. The white blood counts must be interpreted with the leukocytosis of pregnancy in mind.

In the 15 years from 1960 through 1974, 58 patients (38 male and 20 female) from 3 to 18 years of age were treated. In 24 only the lungs were involved, in 23 only the liver, and in 2 both organs were involved. Various other organs including the orbit, omentum, kidney, uterus, brain, and spinal cord contained cysts in one or more cases. Diagnosis was by X-ray, angiography, and myelography. The Casoni skin test was positive in 36 of 43 (83.7%) trials. All patients were treated surgically and, except for one death from pneumonia, all did well.

Maternal mortality is examined from June 1980 to December 1986 at Mulago, Nsambyo, Old Kampala, Rubaga, and Mengo Hospitals in Kampala, Uganda. Clinical or immediate causes, direct and indirect, were recorded from case summary forms based on ICD9 definitions of obstetric complications. The nonabortion maternal mortality rate (NAMMR) was 2.65/1000 deliveries (580 deaths); the abortion-related maternal mortality rate (ARMMR) was 3.58/1000 abortions. The hospital maternal mortality rate was 2.0/1000 deliveries. 75% of maternal deaths of women of 28 weeks' gestation or more had delivered outside the hospital. NAMMR doubled between 1980-86, a statistically significant increase. ARMMR increases were almost significant. 75% were direct obstetric and 21% were indirect obstetric causes. 38% had clinical anemia, 29% had some sepsis, 18% had substantial bleeding, and 14% had obstructed labor. Other contributing conditions were pneumonia, ruptured uterus, laparotomy, evacuations and curettage, malaria, preeclampsia, sickle cell anemia, pulmonary embolism, malnutrition, tetanus, meningitis, prolonged labor, and hepatitis. At admission, 48% were in poor condition, 30% in good condition, and 22% in fair condition. 27% had sickle cell anemia, high blood pressure, multiple pregnancy, or malaria at admission. 64% were admitted within 24 hours after delivery, 67% 1-7 days after delivery, and 92% 7-42 days after delivery. Those in good condition were all admitted 7 days postdelivery. 41% of deaths were due to lack of drugs, 7% lack of fluids, 20% with theater problems, 14% with doctor-related factors, and 3% with midwife-related factors. Better information is needed on mortality before delivery, mortality in hospitals vs. outside, and mortality from abortion, and ectopic and hydatidiform molar pregnancies. An explanation given for the increase in maternal mortality is the decline in economic conditions. Abortion complications may be due to the concealment practiced. Causes are consistent with trends from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s in Uganda and developing countries in general. Availability and accessibility of gynecological and obstetric services needs great improvement. Training traditional birth attendants and obtaining rural ambulance services are also needed. Health workers lack creativity and imagination for developing country conditions; scarce resources are not the only problem.

Histophilus ovis was isolated from 29 sheep in 20 flocks and 2 artificial insemination (AI) centres in southern New South Wales from 1984 to 1990. The clinical and pathological findings were consistent with previous reports and included polyarthritis (7 flocks), epididymo-orchitis (5), meningoencephalitis (3), pneumonia (3), septicaemia (2), mastitis (1) and metritis (1). Six sheep had meningoencephalitis, a syndrome not previously associated with H ovis infection in sheep, which was similar pathologically to thromboembolic meningoencephalitis in cattle, caused by the related organism, Haemophilus somnus. H ovis was isolated from the semen of 12-month-old rams in a flock that had polyarthritis due to H ovis, in 4-month-old ram lambs and from the uterus of a ewe in a flock that had sporadic cases of H ovis septicaemia.

By inoculation of embryonating chicken eggs via the yolk sac route Chlamydia psittaci was grown from 11 lungs of 45 pigs with pneumonia (24.4%). From the lungs of 55 pigs with other diseases the organism was isolated in five cases (9.1%). Chlamydiae were not detectable by cultural methods in the uterine mucosa of 87 sows, arthritic joints of 30 store pigs and in aborted fetuses. A commercial available enzyme amplified immunoassay indicated the presence of chlamydial antigen in mucosal scrapings from the uterus of two sows and in the fetal membranes as well as fetal organs in one case of porcine abortion.

The intra-aortic++ introduction of a complex of drugs was performed to 34 patients with sepsis of obstetric-gynecological etiology. The disease appeared in 23 patients after extrahospital abortions, in 7 patients after delivery, in 4 patients after operation of cesarean section. Septic pneumonia took place in 23 patients. Antiseptic treatment was also used in all the patients. Recovery was noted in 32 of 34 patients, 23 of them were discharged from the hospital without removal of the uterus. Conclusion may be made that the intra-aortic++ administration of drugs is a highly effective method of treatment of obstetric-gynecological sepsis.

Between June 1979 and March 1985, 77 patients received whole abdominal radiation as the sole postoperative treatment for gynecologic malignancy. With an open-field technique of irradiation, a median of 3,000 cGy was delivered to the entire abdominal contents with partial liver and kidney shielding; the total dose to the pelvis after boosts was 5,100 cGy, and that to the sub-diaphragmatic and para-aortic nodal regions was 4,200 cGy. The primary sites of malignancy were the endometrium in 41 patients, ovary in 25, uterus in 5, fallopian tube in 4, and cervix in 2. Seven patients (9%), all older than 60 years, experienced acute gastrointestinal toxicity that interrupted treatment, only one of whom failed to complete the prescribed course as a result. Hematologic toxicity was sufficient to interrupt therapy in 21 patients (27%), 1 of whom failed to complete therapy as a result. Hematologic toxicity was not increased in elderly patients. All patients were followed up for a minimum of 30 months (median, 43 months) or until death. Six patients experienced a treatment-related bowel obstruction (two of whom had concomitant progressive intra-abdominal disease); the 3-year actuarial risk for a treatment-related bowel obstruction was 9%. This risk was significantly increased by high-dose boosting for residual disease. Only one instance of clinical radiation pneumonitis occurred, and no cases of clinical hepatitis were noted; however, subclinical evidence of pulmonary and hepatic radiation effect was frequent. Whole abdominal irradiation as described has modest toxicity for patients with gynecologic cancer who are at high risk for intra-abdominal failure.

In developed countries, Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is found on the cervix of the uterus in 2-8% of pregnant women. Two thirds of neonates from infected mothers are contaminated at delivery at the level of ocular, respiratory and digestive mucosal surfaces. This infection is responsible for 40% of neonatal conjunctivitis and afebrile pneumonitis in the second and third month after birth. In older children and adolescents, CT is responsible for genital infections contracted by venereal contact. The treatment requires taking a macrolide orally for 15 days. Prevention requires the detection of high-risk women, and hygiene in sexual intercourse.

The moderate impairment of cell-mediated immunity that occurs in pregnancy justifies concern when a pregnant woman develops influenza. We treated a woman for influenza pneumonia with respiratory failure at 33 weeks' gestation with oral amantadine and ribavirin inhalation therapy in conjunction with evacuation of the uterus and delivery.

This is the first documented case of a T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma arising in the uterus. At presentation, the patient also had a life-threatening pneumonia due to Chlamydia trachomatis which responded to erythromycin and tetracycline. Cytotoxic therapy produced partial tumour regression, but the patient died 14 weeks after diagnosis, probably as a result of intercurrent infection.
