RESULTS
Thirty-five
The authors report two cases of renal pneumatisation immediately following renal artery embolisation performed for carcinoma of the kidney. The particularly painful and inflammatory (high fever, leucocytosis, increased sedimentation rate) led to abdominal X-rays which revealed signs of gas in the
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to present a series of cases of sinogenic intracranial suppuration in a pediatric tertiary referral center and to review the long-term outcomes of the patients.
METHODS
We performed a retrospective review of the hospital database and the patient case

The authors report a case of typhoid fever with pleuro-pulmonary complications and recall their characteristics: Usually early (second week), may appear under treatment, whereas the disease evolves normally. Characterised by the absence of infective phenomena, the multiple manifestations, the
BACKGROUND
We compared the clinical features and therapeutic outcomes of intracranial suppurations (IEs) caused by sub-dural empyema (SDEs) and epidural abscesses (EAs).
METHODS
Twenty-four patients with IE were retrospectively identified at our institution over a period of 14 years. Therapeutic
A 17 year old man was hospitalized because of fever, headache and a paresis of his left leg. Radiologic findings demonstrated a subdural interhemispheric empyema on the right side as a complication of ipsilateral pansinusitis. Streptococcus milleri was cultured as the only pathogen from maxillary
The results of the experimental analysis reported in this and the two preceding papers (10, 11) indicate that in murine pneumococcal infections penicillin per se destroys the invading organisms only in those parts of the lesions where the bacteria are multiplying rapidly and are thus maximally
The authors analyze the causes of lingering fever in patients with pulmonary infiltrations. The given phenomenon is most often caused by pneumonias provoked by unusual causative agents (Legionella, Rickettsia, Mycoplasma). In such cases, administration of erythromycin is effective. In rare cases,

The sequential morphologic alterations in normal skeletal muscle in rats, Walker 256 tumors in rats, and transmissible venereal tumors (TVT) in dogs following microwave-induced hyperthermia (43 degrees C and 45 degrees C for 20 minutes), were studied by histologic and ultrastructural examination.
