    Notes: Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of clonidine in the management of unstable blood pressure in severe tetanus. Design: Patients with severe tetanus and blood pressure instability were treated with clonidine and the results were compared with those of other patients with severe tetanus who were not treated with clonidine. Setting: Intensive care unit of the Chest Hospital of Athens. Patients: We studied 27 patients with severe tetanus and autonomic dysfunction. Interventions: Patients were managed according to a protocol. Measurements and results: Clonidine was administered until blood pressure stability was fully restored and the dose was then gradually reduced. Five patients from the non-clonidine group and 2 from the clonidine group died. Conclusions: These results suggest that clonidine is effective in the treatment of blood pressure instability in severe tetanus.

    Notes: Abstract Malaria remains today one of the major health problems in the tropics with increased morbidity and mortality. The most serious complications are caused by Plasmodium falciparum, which, in contrast to the benign malarias, may progress to a life-threatening multi-system disease. Our case concerns a young woman in the 14th week of pregnancy, admitted to the ICU in a coma, with pulmonary oedema, haemolytic anaemia, renal failure and thrombocytopenia as complications of P. falciparum malaria. The case is discussed and possible explanations for the clinical picture and complications of P. falciparum malaria are given in the light of experiences from the literature.
