[Clinical study of strongyloidiasis].

Between 1961 and 1974 the authors had in their care 260 patients suffering from strongyloidiasis. The present paper deals with the clinical data evaluated from two points of view : the frequency of subjective and objective symptoms in the course of the disease, and the frequency of the groups of symptoms in terms of the clinical form of the disease. The frequency of the symptoms is listed according to the five evolutive stages of the disease (invasion, latency, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and neuropsychical phases).

[Gastrointestinal disorders caused by non-agglutinable (NAG) vibrios].

In August-October 1973 several NAG vibrio strains were isolated for the first time in our country from clinical cases of acute intestinal disturbances. The patients were admitted to hospital being clinically suspect of dysenteric syndrome or alimentary toxiinfection (nausea, vomiting, abdominal colics, tenesms, mucosanguinolent stools, aqeous stools from 4-5 up to 20 in 24 hours, with signs of dehydration). NAG vibrios were isolated from all the cultures in, practically, pure cultures.
