    Notes: Abstract Hydrohaematometrocolpos may occur secondary to isolated imperforate hymen, genital tract duplications, and complex urogenital sinus or cloacal abnormalities. The presenting symptoms and relation to menarche provide clues to the diagnosis. Examination of the abdomen, introitus, and vagina may confirm the diagnosis and assist in clarification of the anatomy. In genital duplications ultrasonography further delineates the pelvic anatomy and demonstrates unilateral renal agenesis. We have reviewed our 10-year experience and present an approach for the diagnosis and investigation of these patients.

    Notes: Abstract Infection withMycobacterium avium, M. intracellulare and M. scrofulaceum (MAIS) organisms in normal children may result in cervical lymphadenopathy. There is a poor response to anti-tuberculous therapy and surgical excision of infected nodes is necessary. The diagnosis therefore requires consideration in children with cervical lymphadenopathy. A simple in vitro assay is described which may be useful for diagnosis prior to excision. Whole blood is cultured withM. avium purified protein derivative. After 24h the plasma is removed and the concentration of gamma interferon (IFN-γ) quantified by a radioimmunometric assay. In a prospective study of 38 children with neck lesions, 16 showed MAIS organisms isolated from cultures of excised tissue. The level of IFN-γ produced by peripheral blood lymphocytes from children in the MAIS group was significantly greater when compared with children having operations for neck lesions that were not due to MAIS organisms (P〈0.001).
