The author presents eight cases in which sudden death occurred following the injection 0 f penicillin. l’ho problem is discussed and the case reports are presented. Autopsies were performed in six of the oight cases. There was no instance of penetration of a voss~l by the injecting needle. A review of the types of penicillin used reveals that it was not one type of penicillin, nor even the procaine radical, but rather the penicillin per se which was the sensitizing agent and thus the agent responsible for the reactions. The injections had been made for a variety of reasons. One death occurred in an IX-month-old white female child who had never rccoivcd penicillin previously. Death treatments rhagic

The conclusion drawn is that the administration of penicillin in any form or by any must be precodod by careful inquiry into the past history of the patient with respect previous use of penicillin or the existence of an allergic state of any type. Restriction use of penicillin t.o necessary instances and an jnquiry int.o the history of allorgie ~ympwill tend to prevent the type of catastrophe reported. ‘I’. J. C.

They include intra-articular and extra-articular fractures, cases with light displncoment, marked overriding or dislocation, cases of bilateral fractures of the head and of the neck of the condyle, and cases in which other fractures of the mandible are associated.

without failure

The idea is that even in a poor anatomic result, as observed quite often in cases of fractures and dislocations, only a slight disturbance in function occurs. The authors agree with Bebileau, who pointed out the ability of the temporomandibular joint to adjust itself t,o new conditions with only a minimal disturbance of the mechanism of the jaw.
