ABSTRACT
A case of corneal ulcer caused by Serratia marcescens is reported in a patient with history of corneal microtrauma. Biological features (pathogenicity factors, antibiotic resistance) of isolated culture were characterized. Keratitis cases caused by this agent were analyzed.

On the basis of analysis of data on 36 patients with idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, 2 groups of patients were distinguished. In patients of group 1 the outlines of the cardiac shadow resembled those of the aortic type, but there was a bulging in the cranial part of the left ventricle due to its hypertrophy, particularly manifest in the prestenotic part of its outflow tract. In patients of group 2 the shape of the cardiac shadow was characterized by the straightening out of the left outline, i.e. by the absence of signs caused by a sharp hypertrophy of the left ventricular myocardium.
