The purpose of this study was the evaluation of the effectiveness of intrapericardial administration of tetracycline, 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin in patients with recurrent malignant pericardial effusion. In 33 cases with malignant pericardial effusion 46 pericardiocenteses under two-dimensional echo-cardiography were performed. No complications were observed after this procedure. Pericardiocentesis was followed by catheterization of the pericardial space for a mean period of 15 days (range 1-64). In 4 cases bacterial pericarditis was observed during catheterization. The mean volume of the pericardial fluid was 2.41 (range 0.4-13 l). In cases with bloody pericardial fluid the PO2, PCO2 and pH of the fluid were estimated and the results compared with the values for venous blood obtained from the upper limbs. Highly statistically significant differences were documented. Twenty cases of malignant pericardial effusion were treated with direct pericardial administration of cisplatin, 3 with 5-fluorouracil and 2 with tetracycline. Good results (no fluid reaccumulation) were observed only after cisplatin therapy. We conclude that pericardiocentesis performed under two-dimensional echo cardiography, followed by pericardial catheterization and direct pericardial treatment with cisplatin are the methods of choice in cases with malignant pericardial effusion. In cases with bloody pericardial fluid PO2, PCO2 and pH analysis can be useful to differentiate the source of the bloody fluid (blood or bloody fluid).

We analyzed the effects of tetracycline hydrochloride or minocycline hydrochloride sclerotherapy on 66 recurrent thyroid cysts. All were hemorrhagic lesions except one serous cyst; cytologic study showed all were benign. On average, three treatments were given until resolution or the patient became unavailable for follow-up. The cumulative frequency of cyst disappearance was 33%, 45%, 52%, and 59% after 1, 2, 3, and 4 treatments. Five additional patients had cyst resolution after six to 19 treatments, and the serous lesion did not resolve. Cysts requiring more than two treatments were larger at presentation than those resolving after one or two treatments. Side effects in 179 treatments were local pain lasting ten to 20 minutes in 4.5%, radiated pain lasting one to two hours in 4.5%, fatigue lasting one to two days in 3.9%, and a febrile sensation lasting one to two days in 2.8%. Hemorrhagic thyroid cysts can usually be cured by repeated tetracycline or minocycline sclerotherapy with tolerable side effects.

Gonococcal conjunctivitis in adults is rare; however, over the past two years there have been reports of cases from the military and an outbreak of ten cases in Miami, where urine was used as therapy for hemorrhagic conjunctivitis. Reported here is the case of a sixteen-year-old female who developed hemorrhagic conjunctivitis that grew Neisseria gonorrhoeae. With the increase in sexual activity at younger ages, gonococcal conjunctivitis may become more prevalent in this age group.
