A case of recurrent tricuspid valve endocarditis after surgical closure of ventricular septal defect is presented. Intensive medical treatment lasting nearly ten years completely failed. There were still vegetations attached to the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve with positive cultures (Ps. aeruginosa). Persistent sepsis without signs of heart failure required surgical intervention. Tricuspid valvuloplasty with excision of infected patch was successfully performed. Six months later the patient remained symptomless.

We analyzed the results of determinations C-reactive protein (Latex Test Dialab firm) of 136 newborns. We divided them into three groups: with generalized infections, with infection without sepsis and without infection. Sensitivity of method for neonates with septicaemia was 60%, for neonates with infection without sepsis--81.25%, together for all infections--66.1%. After overlooking sepsis caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis sensitivity for sepsis was 81.8% and for all infections--81.6%.

4 patients (P) with recurrent, sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) resistant to medical treatment, underwent surgery for cure of this arrhythmia. Each P had episodes of VT lasting 30 or more seconds, 3 of them had episodes of ventricular fibrillation. In all cases rhythm disturbances were secondary to post myocardial infarction aneurysm. Coronary angiography showed in all P total occlusion of LAD, in 2 cases significant lesion in RCA were found. 1 P had lung cancer. All P underwent aneurysmectomy and an excision of the altered endocardium by Harken's method. The endocardial excision was performed without endocardial mapping. 2 P had concomitant CABG to RCA. In the P with lung cancer lobectomy was performed. There were 2 ++non-arrhythmic death. The P with lung cancer died because of sepsis due to lung abscess. One P died because of heart failure (preoperative EF 10%), 6 months after the surgery. The 2 survivors remained free of VT during a follow-up period 8 months. In conclusion, endocardial excision by Harken's method is efficient in treating recurrent sustained VT, resistant to medical treatment, in patients with post myocardial infarction aneurysm. The surgical procedure can be performed without intraoperative endocardial mapping.

The influence of glucocorticosteroids (GKS) therapy on clinical status, T4 lymphocyte count in peripheral blood and T4/T8 lymphocyte ratio was investigated in five HIV infected patients: two were asymptomatic, while three had clinically overt disease. The reasons for GKS therapy were: thrombocytopenia in two patients, pancytopenia in two and sepsis with severe endocarditis in one. No influence of GKS on the clinical course of HIV infection was observed. The prospective determinations of T4 lymphocyte count and T4/T8 lymphocyte ratio were relatively constant in two cases, in one case increased and in two patients, one of whom had AIDS, a decrease in both parameters was observed. It seems that GKS therapy does not seriously influence the course of HIV infection in most patients and can be instituted without risk of severe worsening of the immune status.

Bacterial infections during the neonatal period continue to be a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. In this study the etiological and clinical features and treatment regimens of 73 neonates with sepsis and suspected sepsis have been analysed. In contrast to developed countries, staphylococci were found to be still common etiological agents and the treatment regimen of ampicillin plus third-generation cephalosporin was highly effective.

The newborn with sepsis (E. coli) and salmonellosis was described. After treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics it was suffered from Candida albicans (Meningitis with Hydrocephalus internus, Chorioretinitis and Ostitis). The authors difficulties connected with diagnosis and anti-fungal therapy have showed. They have punctated the necessity of combined anti-mycotic therapy.

124 newborns admitted to the Department within the period of 3 years with suspected sepsis were analysed. In 55.6% of children, boys prevailing (62.3%), generalized infection was confirmed with positive bacterial cultures. Late-onset disease predominance was found (72.8%). The mortality rate in this group was 5.8% (11.3% boys and 1.9% girls). Analysis of the causative organisms revealed more frequently the Gram positive bacteria (81% of all positive cultures) with a predominant role of Staphylococcus epidermidis (43.5%). The pathogenic role of Staphylococcus epidermidis (regarded by some other authors as a contamination) was stressed. Its increasing clinical significance has been correlated with a deterioration of sanitary and hygienic conditions at the obstetric and neonatal wards, wider application of invasive procedures and antibiotics.

Four cases of extraintestinal salmonellosis caused by Salmonella enteritidis were described. Underlying diseases in the three patients were haematological neoplasms (2 splenectomized and 1 with massive leukemic infiltrations of the spleen) and in the fourth haemophilia B: only that patient had a prior symptomatic intestinal infection. Blood cultures for S.ent. were positive in all patients and additionally in that suffering from Hodgkin's disease urine, lymph node and stool cultures also showed S.ent. In the haemophiliac patient culture of suppurated hematoma was positive. All patients recovered from S. sepsis but three then died of their neoplastic diseases. The haemophiliac patient is in a good condition. Various disturbances in the immunological tests were observed.

We present a boy who had been under observation for 4 years, suffering since the age of nine from necrotizing vasculitis, which appeared during Proteus sp. sepsis. Complex treatment with antibiotics, large doses of steroids, antithrombotic and peripheral circulation improving drugs, as well as local drugs applied to the skin and oral cavity mucosa, resulted in a complete cure. This illness left some cosmetic skin defects on the face and extremities, a shortening of the tongue and malocclusion.

Diagnostic difficulties in a case of a large tumor localized in the deep tissue of buttock in a 29-year old woman is described. The patient was very severely ill presenting with neurological symptoms and immobilization of the left coxal joint, what strongly suggested a neoplasm and this was supported by the CT scan. USG examination allowed diagnosis of a deep hematogenic staphylococcal abscess of the buttock, probably due to extensive oral sepsis and staphylococcal septicaemia. Systemic antibiotic therapy as well as evacuation of pus caused a complete recovery of the patient.
