[A case of acute hyaline membrane pneumopathy in a 3-month-old infant]. / Consideratii asupra unui caz de pneumopatie acuta cu membrane hialine la un sugar de 3 luni.

The authors discuss the anatomoclinical case of an infant 3 months and 2 weeks old, presenting a clinical picture of interstitial pneumonia, in shock. Microscopic histologic examination of the lung revealed a lung disease with hyaline membranes, an unusual entity after the neonatal period. The authors assume the formation of hyaline membranes to be due to prolonged shock and the inadequate alveolar surfactant.

Polymorphism of nuclear inclusions in carcinoma of the cervix uteri.

Frequency, polymorphism and ultrastructural characteristics of the nuclear inclusion bodies encountered in cancers of the uterine cervix are reported and briefly discussed. The nuclear inclusions are grouped in three distinct types: a) nuclear bodies (comprising type I and II inclusions according to Bouteille et al.'s classification), b) inclusion of cytoplasmic origin, and c) particles of chromatic material. The ultrastructural aspects of the chromatic particles suggest an early structuration of viral chromatin into core material. There appears to be a direct relation between the frequency of chromatic particles and raised antiherpetic antibodies in the patient's sera.
