A 4-year-old girl who developed convulsions after an accidental ingestion of excessive dosage (50 mg/kg) of nalidixic acid, while treated with the drug (50 mg/kg/day) over 30 days for a urinary tract infection, was reported. Thirty minutes after ingestion, vomiting, tonic-clonic seizures, and abnormal movements were supervened. After ninety minutes, the serum levels of nalidixic acid and hydroxynalidixic acid were 146.1 and 48.9 microgram/ml, respectively. In controls, the mean levels of nalidixic acid and hydroxynalidixic acid were 7.8 +/- 6.8 (SD) and 3.02 +/- 2.6 microgram/ml, respectively.

In a 11-year-old girl with urinary tract infection symptoms and signs of Henoch-Schoenlein syndrome developed with neurological complications in the form of headaches, vomiting slightly marked signs of pyramidal tract and cerebellar damage and severe psychomotor temporal-lobe seizures. These very violent neurological manifestations disappeared completely after control of infection. The authors point out that prognosis in Henoch-Schoenlein syndrome even with such severe neurological complications is good.

The prevalence of neonatal urinary tract infection (UTI) was studied in 1,762 high-risk neonates. Symptomatic bacteriuria was found in 1.9% and asymptomatic bacteriuria in 0.5% of these neonates. Male preponderance was 5:1. Clinical manifestations were extremely variable--vomiting, weight loss, and diarrhea being the prominent symptoms. Bacteremia was associated with UTI in six infants. The organisms identified in the urine obtained by suprapubic aspiration were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, and Proteus. A mixed infection was found in four patients. Roentgenographic examination of the urinary tract showed abnormalities in 44% of the symptomatic patients. It is conclued that symptomatic high-risk newborn infants should be screened for bacteriuria, and that radiological investigations be preformed in those with proven infection.

The role of operative intervention for hereditary pancreatitis, a rare form of chronic parenchymal destruction, is unclear. To determine whether surgical therapy is safe and provides prolonged symptomatic relief, the authors reviewed the management of 22 adults (11 men, 11 women) with hereditary pancreatitis treated surgically between 1950 and 1989. Hereditary pancreatitis was defined as a family history of two or more relatives with pancreatitis and clinical, biochemical, or radiologic evidence of pancreatitis. The mean ages at onset of symptoms and at operation were 15 years (range, 3 to 52 years) and 31 years (range, 18 to 54 years), respectively. Pain was the primary indication for operation in all patients. Additional symptoms included nausea, vomiting (73%), weight loss (55%), and diarrhea (41%). Ductal dilatation was present in 68%, pancreatic parenchymal calcifications in 73%, pseudocysts in 36%, and splenic vein thrombosis in 18%. Primary operations included ductal drainage in 10 patients, pancreatic resection alone in three, resection with drainage in three, cholecystectomy plus sphincteroplasty in two, cholecystectomy with or without common bile duct exploration in two, pancreatic abscess drainage in one, and pseudocyst drainage in one. There were no perioperative deaths, and the morbidity rate was 14% (intra-abdominal abscess, wound infection, and urinary tract infection). Symptoms recurred in nine patients. Severity prompted reoperation in five. Secondary operations included pancreatic resection in three, pseudocyst excision in one, and pancreaticolithotomy in one. Follow-up to date is complete and extends for a median of 85 months. Eighteen patients (82%) are clinically improved or asymptomatic. Symptoms have persisted in four patients, and two patients have died of pancreatic carcinoma. Two patients died of unrelated causes. Surgical therapy for patients with hereditary pancreatitis selected on the basis of the traditional indications for surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis is safe and efficacious.

In this series, nine pregnant patients had appendectomy. Seven patients had acute appendicitis; pyuria and symptoms suggesting urinary tract infection delayed diagnosis in one whose appendix perforated. Abdominal pain and nausea with or without vomiting were presenting symptoms in all of the patients. Tenderness in the right lower quadrant was present in six. Eight patients, including two with a normal appendix, had leukocytosis with a left shift. There was no fetal or maternal loss. In addition, I reviewed more than 900 other cases of appendectomy during pregnancy, as reported in the literature since 1960. Among 713 previously reported cases of confirmed appendicitis, rupture had occurred in 25%. There were five maternal deaths, all in the group of patients with perforation. Perinatal mortality was 4.8% among patients with acute inflammation only and 19.4% in those with perforative appendicitis. The diagnosis rests on clinical acumen, and prompt surgical intervention is the key to good outcome.

In a double-blind, randomized, multicenter study, 400 women with symptoms of acute urinary tract infections were treated with either a 7-day course of temafloxacin hydrochloride (400 mg once a day; n = 204) or a 10-day course of trimethoprim (160 mg) and sulfamethoxazole (800 mg) (TMP-SMZ) twice daily (n = 196). The bacteriologic cure rates at 5 to 9 days posttherapy were 100% in the temafloxacin group and 97% in the TMP-SMZ group (P = 0.035). The clinical cure rates were 93% in the temafloxacin group and 95% in the TMP-SMZ group (P greater than 0.1). Adverse events, including nausea, vomiting, rash, headache, and dizziness, were experienced by 19.6% of the temafloxacin group and 23.5% of the TMP-SMZ group. Transient leukopenia occurred in 0.5 and 4.1% of the temafloxacin and TMP-SMZ groups, respectively. Temafloxacin, 400 mg once a day for 7 days, appears to be at least as safe and effective as a 10-day course of TMP-SMZ in the management of acute urinary tract infection in women.

A case of a patient with organic hyperinsulinism complicated by the development of hyperosmolar state is described. The hyperosmolar state was induced by vomiting and dehydration during an acute urinary tract infection. Impairment of glucose metabolism was confirmed by the finding of reduced tissue sensitivity to insulin during a euglycaemic clamp.

The clinical course of 48 children (27 boys and 21 girls) with multicystic kidney dysplasia was analysed retrospectively. The patients were seen and treated at the Children's Hospital of Medical School Hannover between 1976 to 1989. There was no familial occurrence of the disease, yet in eight families various other renal diseases could be observed. In 20 patients the diagnosis of multicystic renal dysplasia was presumed by prenatal sonographic examination, in the other patients the diagnosis was established at the age between 1 day to 12 years. The first manifestations were palpable abdominal mass (n = 16), urinary tract infection (n = 4), casually because of a sonographic evaluation for other reasons (n = 4) and vomiting (n = 2). Associated malformations were found in 18 patients: cardiac malformations (n = 6), dysplasia of the other kidney (n = 5), ureter obstruction of the other kidney (n = 3), horseshoe kidney (n = 1) and others (n = 3). There was no hypertension and serum creatinine levels were normal in those children, who did not suffer from associated malformations of the other kidney. The multicystic kidney was removed operatively in 42 patients at the age of 3 days to 9.5 years (median 4 weeks). The prognosis of multicystic kidney dysplasia depends on associated renal and other malformations.

We studied clinical effects and safety of ceftibuten (7432-S, CETB), a new oral cephem antibiotic, against chronic complicated urinary tract infections in 9 cases and bacterial prostatitis in 10 cases. CETB was administered at a daily dose of 400-600 mg divided into twice or 3 times for a duration of 1-4 weeks. The overall clinical effect was 83.3% according to the criteria of UTI Committees (excellent: 4 cases, moderate: 1, poor: 1) in evaluated 6 cases, and the efficacy rate was 77.8% in the bacterial prostatitis cases according to physicians' evaluation (good: 7 cases, fair: 2, unknown: 1). There was 1 case of nausea, vomiting and lightly diarrhea on the third day after treatment but those tendencies all disappeared after stopping administration. So, we concluded that CETB was a useful agent for chronic complicated UTI and bacterial prostatitis with a daily dose level of 400-600 mg except in severe cases.

Three male infants with vomiting, dehydration, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis were found to have vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and urinary tract infection. Two were initially thought to have the salt-losing form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Although prompt diagnosis of this potentially fatal condition is critical, its mimicry by urosepsis in infants with VUR is actually more common. Infection probably causes unresponsiveness of the distal renal tubules to aldosterone.
