    Notes: Abstract We report the case of a pregnant woman (29 th week), living in a Paris suburb, about 20 miles from an international airport. She presented with septic shock and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). A few parasitized erythrocytes were discovered in a hemorrhagic bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), specimen and many were found on examination of the placenta after a caesarean section had been performed. The patient's condition dramatically improved once given quinine therapy. This is an uncommon case on account of: (1) the unusual clinical course with no organ failure but ARDS, (2) the unusual way the diagnosis was made, (3) the very unusual way the patient became contaminated (airport malaria), (4) the pregnant condition of the patient.

    Notes: Abstract Septic osteomyelitis of the hip in a previously healthy child is described. A weakly toxigenicCorynebacterium diphtheriae strain was isolated from the bone aspirate. The results of the treatment were rapidly satisfactory, after surgical drainage and antibiotic therapy with pristinamycin. Conclusion This case report shows thatC. diphtheriae has not disappeared in the developed world and can be responsible of systemic infections.

    Enterobacter cloacae cross-colonization in neonates demonstrated by ribotyping (1993)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract The intestinal colonization byEnterobacter cloacae strains with a derepressed cephalosporinase was studied in a paediatric ward between February 1990 and January 1991. Environmental sampling was performed simultaneously. Fifty-two isolates were recovered from 200 neonates (stool, blood) and 14 strains were isolated from the neonatal environment. An epidemiological study based on the typing of 36Enterobacter cloacae isolates was carried out using antibiotyping, biotyping and ribotyping methods. The isolates selected were from 21 neonates (24 isolates), the neonatal ward environment (8 isolates) and from other wards (4 isolates). Thirty-two isolates had the same antibiotic resistance pattern, corresponding to a derepressed cephalosporinase and resistance to the following aminoglycosides: kanamycin, gentamicin, tobramycin and netilmicin. No predominant biotyping pattern could be established. Ribotyping done with two endonucleases (EcoRI andBamHI) showed 28Enterobacter cloacae isolates to have a single pattern. Ribotyping was the most discriminating method used in this study, permitting identification of cross-contamination withEnterobacter cloacae in the paediatric ward.

    Evaluation of a rapid agglutination test for detection of group B streptococci in the gastric aspirates of neonates (1995)

    Notes: Abstract A rapid commercial agglutination test (Bactigen Strepto B) for detection of group B streptococci in gastric aspirates of neonates was evaluated. One hundred and sixty-one gastric samples were analyzed with conventional bacteriological techniques and with the commercial test after modification of the extraction technique. The sensitivity of the test relative to the culture technique was 90.4 %, the specificity 94.2 %, the positive predictive value 70.3 % and the negative predictive value 98.5 %. The commercial test could be performed in one hour and showed good sensitivity and specificity. If a test result was negative colonization could be excluded, obviating the need for empirical antibiotic therapy, whereas a positive result suggested colonization or neonatal infection with group B streptococci.
