Electrocardiographic abnormalities in patients with diphtheria: a prospective study.

Purpose: To determine the incidence of and risk factors for electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities in adults with diphtheria.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted involving 122 adult patients with respiratory tract diphtheria. Diphtheria was confirmed by isolation of a toxin-producing strain of Corynebacterium diphtheriae.

Echocardiographic Imaging of Right Ventricular Outflow Obstruction During Chemotherapy of Mediastinal Lymphoma.

Transthoracic echocardiography is a versatile method for imaging cardiac complications caused by mediastinal tumors. Especially, the response to therapeutic measures can be assessed promptly. We present echocardiographic imaging of the regression of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction by chemotherapy.
