morphine and Staphylococcal-Infections

The results of a 20-year microbiological monitoring of full-term newborns with infectious inflammatory diseases hospitalized from maternity homes of Moscow are presented. The incidence of candidiasis within that period was shown to increase 7 times at the account of the events of cutaneous and mucocutaneous candidiasis, gastrointestinal candidiasis and candidiasis of the central nervous system. One of the sources of the endogenic contamination of the newborns and infants was their intestinal microflora. In 4.6 per cent of the patients the meconium contamination by Candida was stated during the first days after the birth.

The clinical histories, chest X-ray appearances, skin prick test results, pulmonary function and IgE levels of 20 patients with cystic fibrosis (C.F.) complicated by nasal polyps have been compared with those of 97 C.F. controls. The patients who had developed polyps had a different clustering of symptoms to the controls with heavier birthweights, later presentations, milder gastrointestinal symptoms in infancy, less infection with Staphylococcus aureus and better vital capacities. There was no evidence on history, skin testing or IgE levels that the polyps patients were more allergic. It is likely, therefore, that nasal polyps in C.F. are due to a primary effect of the C.F. gene, although they could also be the effect of chronic nasal infection.
