Pulmonary Moniliasis

Oesophageal moniliasis causing fistula formation and lung abscess.

Oesophageal moniliasis is reviewed and the incidence of fistula formation discussed. A case of oesophageal moniliasis without any predisposing factors, with fistula formation and lung abscess, is presented.

The Serodiagnosis of Moniliasis

Soon after broad spectrum antibiotic drugs became available for therapy, reports appeared in the literature describing moniial infections of the anogenital area and oral mucosa. Cannon (1) reported on the considerable amount of attention being centered upon the problem of the rising frequency of monilial infections in relation to antibiotic therapy. Loh and Baker (2) studied the fecal flora of ...

Moniliasis in acute leukaemia.

The prolonged use of antibiotics, cortisone, or a combination of both has resulted in an increase in infections with monilia. With the recent advances in the treatment of acute leukaemia to include anti-metabolites, corticoids, and antibiotics, an increased incidence of monilial infections might be expected. This paper reports the clinical and necropsy findings in five cases of acute leukaemia ...

Clinical Review of Mustard Lung

More than 45,000 of 100,000 exposed patients are suffering from late effects of sulfur mustard (SM) after almost 20 years post-exposure. Respiratory complications of SM exacerbate over time and are the greatest cause of long-term disability in exposed patients. A triad of cough, expectoration and dyspnea has been found to be the main symptoms among patients. Even those who had not developed acu...
