    Notes: Evaluation of PAPNET-assisted cervical rescreening We have compared the results of targeted manual rescreening of 1211 randomly selected smears with the results of PAPNET-assisted rescreening of 1613 cervical smears, containing at least 6.3% low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL). PAPNET diagnosis and the targeted rescreening diagnosis were compared with the initial report, issued on the corresponding smear. Reproducibility scores for inadequacy, presence of endocervical and endometrial cells, specific infections and squamous cell abnormalities were determined. The reproducibility scores for the diagnosis of inadequate smears and specific infections were lower with the PAPNET-assisted rescreening. The detection of squamous cell abnormalities was excellent for both methods (〉0.95), with a higher detection rate for false-negative smears with the PAPNET testing system.

    Notes: Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (i.e. bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation) is a common procedure in the treatment of various haematological disorders such as aplastic anaemia, (pre)leukaemias, some malignant lymphomas, multiple myeloma and immunodeficiency states. Many of these patients develop erythematous skin lesions following transplantation. Although graft- versus-host disease is the major differential diagnosis in these situations, many other causes of erythema are encountered. The large number of transplant patients means that more and more pathologists are confronted with the challenging problem of making a correct diagnosis in these situations. In this review article we therefore describe the different causes of erythema and their differential diagnoses. In most cases the clinical presentation is related to the microscopical features. Besides acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease, we discuss the (common) drug reactions and non-specific features such as Sweet's syndrome, erythema nodosum and eosinophilic folliculitis. In addition, we deal with the recurrence of original diseases and infections. With this knowledge every pathologist should feel comfortable when looking at skin biopsies of patients after haematological stem cell transplantation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei abwehrgeschwächten Patienten kann eine Endokarditis durchAspergillus sp. auch ohne gefäßchirurgischen Eingriff auftreten, die allerdings extrem selten und schwer zu diagnostizieren ist. Wir berichten über einen 69 Jahre alten Patienten mit Haarzelleukämie, bei dem sich eine beidseitige Pneumonie entwickelte. Aus metastatischen subkutanen Knötchen wurdeA. fumigatus angezüchtet. Trotz Behandlung mit Amphotericin B in adäquater Dosierung (0,7 mg/kg/Tag i.v.) verstarb der Patient 18 Tage nach Therapiebeginn. Als Todesursache fanden sich eine Pilzendokarditis und ein Herzinfarkt infolge septisch- thrombotischen Verschlusses der linken Koronararterie, ausgelöst durchA. fumigatus. Trotz Behandlung mit Amphotericin B i.v. in einer Gesamtdosis von 756 mg konnteA. fumigatus noch aus autoptisch entnommenen Material aus der Aortenklappe kultiviert werden. Bei metastatischer Ausbreitung vonAspergillus spp. sollte eine Endokarditis vermutet werden.
    Notes: Summary Endocarditis byAspergillus species in patients without prior cardiovascular surgery is extremely rare and difficult to diagnose. We report and discuss a 69-year-old patient with hairy cell leukemia who developed severe bilateral pneumonia and metastatic subcutaneous nodules from whichA. fumigatus was cultured. He died after 18 days of treatment with an adequate dose (0.7 mg/kg/day) of amphotericin B intravenously. Fungal endocarditis and a myocardial infarction due to a septic thrombotic occlusion of the left coronary artery byA. fumigatus appeared to be the cause of death.A. fumigatus could still be cultured from the aortic valve postmortem despite a total dose of 756 mg amphotericin B. In case of metastatic spread ofAspergillus spp., endocarditis should be suspected.
