    Notes: Summary A 40-year old homosexual AIDS patient recovering from a Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia developed a Cryptococcus neoformans infection with involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) which could be treated successfully with amphotericin B and flucytosine. After a symptomfree interval of 4 1/2 months, a new acute fatal disease of the CNS did not reveal a cryptococcosis relapse but a necrotizing Toxoplasma encephalitis, a cytomegalovirus infection and striking cultural findings of Staphylococcus aureus in all organs examined. Neither by culture nor by histology Cr. neoformans could be detected in the CNS or in the other organs examined. The temporal course of the Cr. neoformans infection and its specific diagnosis are commented. It is demonstrated that (during or after successful therapy of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia) a specific cultural examination of specimens from the respiratory tract for Cr. neoformans is needed, in order to recognize a Cr. neoformans infection in its primary stage, i. e. before hematogenous dissemination of Cr. neoformans leading to the secondary stage of the infection.

    Notes: Summary The human gastrointestinal tract, important for body salt and water balance, was investigated by endoscopic biopsy for the presence of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). Using immunohistochemistry, ANP-immunoreactive cells were identified in the lamina epithelialis mucosae of stomach, duodenum, jejunum, colon, and rectum. The findings indicate that ANP plays a role in intestinal salt and water regulation in man. ANP measurements in tissue specimens reached by endoscopic biopsy may be of major interest for future investigations on (patho-)physiological and pharmacological aspects of ANP.
