RESUMO
We reported two cases of pulmonary dirofilariasis in Nagasaki Prefecture. Each case was admitted to our hospitals for evaluation of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray film taken for examination. We strongly suspected lung cancer before operation. It was resected in order to confirm the pathological diagnosis. There was a Dirofilaria immitis in the vessels surrounded by the necrotic tissues. The case of pulmonary dirofilariasis tends to increase in Japan, but the positive rate of dogs with Dirofilaria immitis tends to decrease, because of decreasing breeding places of mosquitoes by the spread of the public sewage system in Nagasaki City.

The in vitro activities of quinupristin-dalfopristin and streptogramin RPR 106972 were determined with 44 strains of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and compared to those of macrolides, minocycline, and quinolones. All isolates tested were highly susceptible to macrolides and to quinupristin-dalfopristin (MIC at which 90% of the isolates are inhibited [MIC90], 0.0625 microg/ml), followed by RPR 106972 (MIC90, 0.5 microg/ml), quinolones, and minocycline.
