A patient with nephrosclerosis suddenly died within 2 days with the phenomena of azotemic uremia and severe intestinal bleeding, accompanied by discharge of fragments (ribbons) of mucosa and muscular (!) membranes of the large intestine. Autopsy showed widespread hemorrhagic necrotic colitis, one aplastic kidney and the other sharply overgrown. I request the Editorial Board to inform me how often such cases are observed, as well as what literature is available on this subject. Dr. Kolachev.
