[Guillain-Bare syndrome in a patient with tuberculous].

The article reports on the rarest case of Guillain-Barré syndrome in the form of acute motor-sensory polyneuropathy in a female patient with tuberculous meningitis, disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis, and tuberculous pleurisy. In the neurological status at the exit from the coma, the patient was diagnosed with tetraplegia, bulbar syndrome, and respiratory disorders. Further, within a week, pronounced muscle atrophy appeared.

[The physical work capacity of patients with neurocirculatory dystonia and the early ventricular repolarization syndrome].

A total of 35 patients with neurocirculatory dystonia (NCD) presenting with a syndrome of early repolarization of ventricles (SERV), who comprised the principal group, were studied for an effect of the syndrome under conditions of the bicycle ergometer [correction of veloergometer] exercise test on EKG as well as on the indices for physical performance. The results obtained were compared to those in 32 NCD cases without SERV signs (control group) and 20 essentially healthy subjects. NCD SERV cases, while in bicycle ergometry [correction of veloergometry], developed depression up to the isometric line of the elevated St-segment, and in a portion of cases it was 0.

Suggestion to supplement Shigella flexneri classification scheme with the subserovar Shigella flexneri 4c: phenotypic characteristics of strains.

A new serovar of Shigella flexneri has been isolated with increasing frequency in the USSR. It has the antigenic formula IV:7,8. We suggest that it be incorporated into the classification scheme as S.
