A variety of 40 cases of non-vegetable foreign bodies inhaled by children are presented. These include: coins, washers, pins, reamers, nails, screws, wires, pencil caps, ball-point tip, worry beads, bones, broken tooth, small stones, and blades of broken foreign body forceps. The ages of the children ranged between 10 months and 8 years with average at 2 years and 9 months. Two methods are described for the removal of slippery beads, using a Fogarty Catheter and foreign body forceps technique. Emphasis is placed on the importance of bronchoscopy in all cases with definite or doubtful history of foreign body inhalation in spite of negative physical or roentgenological findings, particularly those cases diagnosed as upper respiratory infection, pneumonitis, bronchial asthma and whooping cough, and when there is no significant response to such treatment. Fluoroscopy with image intensifier is suggested for the localization of the pointed end of sharp pins which cannot be identified clearly through the bronchoscope. General anaesthesia was used in all the cases to ensure absolute immobility. Repeated bronchoscopies at close intervals were not advised and tracheostomy was suggested in subglottic oedema if asphyxia is threatening the life of the child. Immediate removal of foreign bodies is important so as to avoid unnecessary complications. Lobectomy was necessary in one case with an impacted screw and destroyed lobe. This stresses the importance of thoracotomy when several attempts fail to remove the foreign body.

Young dogs of two age groups, six weeks and 12 weeks respectively, were infected by aerosol with a strain of Bordetella bronchiseptica which had been isolated from a dog with pneumonia. Clinical respiratory disease characterised by coughing and in some cases purulent nasal discharge was induced in both groups of infected dogs and also in dogs kept in contact. B bronchiseptica was recovered from the nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi and lung parenchyma of infected and contact animals. At necropsy, masses of Gram-negative bacteria were found trapped in the cilia of the respiratory epithelia and there was an exudate containing neutrophils in the mucosae of the respiratory tract at all levels. A close similarity was noted between the lesions produced in the dog and those described in pertussis infection in man. Experimental respiratory disease in the dog due to B bronchiseptica may offer a model system for the study of the human disease.

Nineteen gnotobiotic piglets, four to six days old, from three different litters, were inoculated intranasally on three consecutive days with a pure culture of Bordetella bronchiseptica. Necropsy 10 to 30 days after inoculation revealed atrophic rhinitis lesions in all and pneumonia in 13 (73 per cent)infected piglets. One died of septicaemia two days after inoculation. Agglutinating antibodies were detected in the sera of all piglets necropsied from 17 to 30 days after inoculation. Five control piglets showed no lesions or serological changes.

Bordetella bronchiseptica is a frequent cause of respiratory infections in animals but rarely causes disease in humans. We describe a patient with B. bronchiseptica pneumonia and bacteremia that developed following bone marrow transplantation. B. bronchiseptica infection persisted despite antimicrobial therapy and may have progressed because of the combined effects of the patient's underlying immunosuppression and the antimicrobial antagonism between doxycycline and ciprofloxacin.

A review of mortality from the 1850 census mortality schedules of Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana has provided a snapshot of the health conditions of African-American slaves. The cause of death was abstracted from the mortality schedule and categorized according to the ninth revision of the Manual of the International Classification of Diseases. Children under the age of 9 accounted for 44% of the total mortality. Sixty-four percent of all deaths recorded occurred in the slave population. Sixty-two percent of the slave deaths occurred in the male population. Leading causes of death were helminthiasis, whooping cough, fever, cholera, and pneumonia. Reports of mortality due to Cachexia Africana (dirt eating) among slaves are discussed.

The application of Bordetella and Pasteurella inactivated and adsorbed vaccines together with cefquinome to sows, piglets and weaners led to a significant reduction of the incidence of rhinitis atrophicans and pneumonia. The frequency of positive isolates of P. multocida, H. parasuis and A. pleuropneumoniae out of nasal swabs was reduced during the treatment.

Eight hundred and fifty-four piglets which died or were euthanized due to pneumonia or rhinitis atrophicans, were investigated during the period of 1986-1990. Of the animals, 569 showed bronchopneumonia, 218 had pleuritis, pericarditis and peritonitis, 165 had rhinitis atrophicans, 58 pleuropneumonia, and 9 animals had fibrinous pneumonia. Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus parasuis, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella haemolytica were isolated in 59.1%, 29.5%, 27.8%, 3.7%, and 2.3% cases of bronchopneumonia respectively. Samples from pigs with pleuritis or rhinitis atrophicans showed Pasteurella multocida in 63.8 and 68.5%, Bordetella bronchiseptica in 28.4 and 39.4%, streptococci in 28.9 and 3.9%, Haemophilus parasuis in 25.2% and 20.6%, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae in 5.1 and 5.5%, and Pasteurella haemolytica in 3.2 and 3.0%, respectively Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae was found in 51 of 58 cases of pleuropneumonia and in 5 of 9 cases of fibrinous pneumonia; 55.6% and 44.4% respectively of those forms of pneumonia were positive for Pasteurella multocida. In the agar diffusion test, 36.8-82.6% of bacterial isolates showed resistance to streptomycin, 7.7-45.5% to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, 5.7-44.6% to tetracycline, 0.2-32.8% to ampicillin, 0.0-16.3% to lincospectin, 2.0-81.2% to furazolidone, 0.4-4.5% to chloramphenicol, 1.3-78.1% to penicillin and 0-0.3% to enrofloxacin.

Common seal populations around the Scottish coast were less severly devastated by phocine distemper than those on the Continent. Nevertheless, over a 4-month period, 59 common seals were examined postmortem. The macroscopic and histopathological lesions are described. Forty-two per cent of these seals were considered to be suffering from phocine distemper. Serology on 29 of the 59 seals was undertaken and the results are discussed in relation to the histopathological findings. Bordetella bronchiseptica proved to be an important secondary invader in phocine distemper virus infected seals. Verminous pneumonia was shown to be a frequent problem, particularly in juveniles.

We present 19 cases of pertussis in infants under 4 months of age. In all cases, Bordetella pertussis was isolated from nasopharyngeal swabs. A whooping cough, cyanotic episodes and eating disturbances were the most characteristic clinical findings. Treatment included: supportive care, salbutamol, beclomethasone, and josamycin. Lymphocyte counts higher than 40,000/mm2 were associated with a greater severity of illness. The most frequent complications were: recurrent cough and pneumonia. None of the patients died.

In 1905 Poels published 'Disease of swine in the Netherlands'. This book dealt predominantly with swine fever, erysipelas, tuberculosis and 'pneumonia'. Between 1920 and 1940 others reported on streptococci, lobular haemmorrhagic pneumonia, bordetellosis, Aujeszky's disease and postweaning diarrhoea. After the second world war, particularly after 1960, the Dutch pig-farming industry developed at a tremendous rate. As a consequence, the health problems changed. Certain diseases became less important: tuberculosis, erysipelas, Leptospira tarrasovi, enteroviruses. Yet other diseases including postweaning diarrhoea, atrophic rhinitis and Aujeszky's disease became problems of increasing importance. At the end of the seventies the knowledge of E. coli toxin types was substantial. On the other hand, information concerning the pathogenesis and pathophysiology was very limited. Bordetella bronchiseptica was still considered to be the most important agent in AR, zootechnical factors being predisposing. However, one was aware of missing links. Aujeszky's disease was obscure until the late fifties. Until 1972 only occasional reports were made. In that year, an epidemic occurred in the Gelderse Vallei. Another epidemic occurred in 1974 in the provinces of Brabant and Limburg. By 1980 proper vaccines were available and Aujeszky's disease was not yet a political problem.
