Tvo worms obtained each one from nasal cavieties of two boys, were identified as Hirudo medicinalls leach. Both boys live in rural area of the country, one of them is 6 years old, another of Cofiumbuqui Lamas (Department of San Martin) a jungle town, and the another one is 1.5 years old from Ban Francisco (Department of Ayacucho) a jungle town too . The specimens were Mirudo medicinalis adults of 2.5 and 6 ems. long respectively.

Tebran University of Medical Sciences, T&ran. Iran. BMT recipients experience severe lmmuoodeficlency as a consequence of pretransplant radlatloo and chemotherapy, transient granulocytopema before BMT. and post-transplant prevention and treatment of graft-versus-host diseaseSo, opportunistic organisems have been reported as the causative agents of local and systemic disease in these severely immuoocom romised patients. During 14 months, 32 patients who underwent BMT , evaluated for : 1) fungal normal flora on hospitalization, 2) fuogal colonization and infection before and after BMT. Underlying disease isthese patients included : leukemia in IS patients, major tbalassemia in 12, aplastic anemia in 3 and fanconi’s anemia ln 2 patients. AI1 patients on the BMT ward underwent regular serveBlance cultures at admission and then once every two weeks. Slmllar examinations was performed, if they bad clinical features. 719 specimens (138 throat and buccal mucosa, 103 ear and nose. 135 stool and rectal swab, 123 urine, 74 blood, 47 skin, 57 vaginal discharge and 43 sputum, broncboalveolar lrvage fluid and tracheal aspirate)from these patients were examined routinely by direct test and culture methods. In this study in 9 BMT recipienla, fungal infections, were observed (for one or two times) , that in direct test and culture method, fungal agents were isolated. These agents included : Candida spp. 10 cases (8 76.9), Geotrichum c&uiidurn one case (% 7.6), Cryptococcus albidus one case, and unknown yeasts one case. Also, me timgal colonlzatlona were observed in 9 cases, ( 6 cases befor BMT and 3 cases after BMT). Ah of these patients cured by Ampbotericlo - B and Nystario.
