x The purpose of this study was to determine the impact on patient care and the cost effectiveness of testing for chlamydial infection in the emergency department. All patients tested for chlamydial infection in three emergency departments between October 1, 1993 and January 31, 1994 were retrospectively reviewed for charges and adequacy of therapy. In one hospital, the effectiveness of a call-back system to enhance proper therapy of inadequately treated patients was evaluated. Of 2,416 test results, 249 were positive, and 197 of these charts were available for review.

x A 76-year-old woman suffered from bilateral distal index finger pain and swelling. The patient had been intially treated with antibiotics for herpetic whitlow complicated by a secondary bacterial infection. Gout was diagnosed through clinical history, physical examination and identification of monosodium urate crystals in the joint aspirate. Gout appearing as polyarticular, symmetric tophi involving the periungual region and distal interphalangeal joint has not been previously described.

x Eclampsia is defined by the occurrence of seizures resulting from hypertensive encephalopathy on the background of preeclampsia. The development of hypertension during pregnancy, a serious and potentially fatal condition, is a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and death in the United States.1-3 It is a disease with preventable complications. The pathophysiology of hypertension during pregnancy is unclear, but there is consensus that aggressive treatment is warranted to prevent complications to both fetus and mother.
