Reiters syndrome is a clinical triad of arthritis, urethritis and conjunctivitis, but the characteristic mucocutaneous lesions occur frequently enough to be included in this syndrome. This applies to the initial stage of the disease, in which the arthritis usually, but by no means invariably, comes triad, i.e. after the urethritis and conjunctivitis have made their apperance. In most instances the arthritisis is of subacute onset, reaching its full intensity within a few weeks. Some 50% of the patients suffer from recurrences of the arthritis. The chronic progressive polyarthritis occuring in Reiters syndrome has severe functional and anatomical repercussions. Here we report a case of Reiters syndrome in a 14 year old middle school boy. He had classical characteristic triad of arthritis, nonspecific urethritis and conjunctivitis. He had pyuria in first fewdays after onset and the arthritis of acute onset, reaching its full intensity within two weeks and then followed by conjunctivits. A review of literature was included.

The effects of exogenous glucose in artificial spring water (ASW) were studied on the survival and infectivity of Schistosoma mansoni cercariae. The mean percent survival of cercariae maintained in 1 % glucose in ASW for 36 and 48 hr was significantly greater than that of cercariae maintained identically in ASW. Cercariae maintained in ASW with or without glucose for 24 hr, fixed in neutral buffered formalin, and stained in Oil Red O, showed an accumulation of neutral lipid in the tail. Cercariae maintained as described above and stained in periodic acid-Schiff exhibited depleted glycogen, mainly from the tail. Cercariae maintained in ASW with glucose for 24 hr did not resynthesize glycogen. Cercariae maintained in ASW with glucose for 24 hr were as capable of infecting male FVBN202 mice as were freshly emerged cercariae, and increased the percent of worm recovery. Exogeneous glucose added to ASW prolonged the survival of S. mansoni cercariae and increased infectivity in terms of worm recovery.

We wish to report 8 cages of calyceal diverticula which were diagnosed tentatively among cases of I.V.P. during the period from January 1965 to December 1971 at St. Mary's Hospital. There were 5 male and 3 female patients. The right kidney was involved in all patients The upper calyx was involved in 6 patients and the middle calyx in 2 patients. Lumbar or abdominal pain was present in 5 patients. 1 of the 8 patients had undergone appendectomy with removal of a norma1 appendix prior to diagnosis.Pyuria were found in 3 patients and one patient had single stone within the diverticulum.

Female urethral injury are very uncommon and encountered during traffic accident, trauma, instrumentation, operation and delivery. Treatment modalities are determined by the level of urethral injury. The result was better in the cases of rapid operative treatment than delayed one. In this report the clinical findings, patterns of injury and surgical managementof 4 cases were reviewed.
