Two cases of sporotrichosis of the face are reported. The mode of spread of the lesions is discussed. One case was apparently cured by potassium iodide therapy. The other case proved refractory to this therapy and alternative methods of treatment are considered. A favourable response to intralesional amphotericin B is recorded.
Rates of clinically acceptable clot lysis were high for patients treated with urokinase for ALI. Complication rates were comparable with published studies. Infusions can be required for prolonged periods of time and given the low complication rate, managing patients on a general ward rather than in the HDU is a feasible alternative and would reduce costs substantially.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
