摘要:

SummaryA bone marrow transplantation was performed in 30 patients because of leukaemia or severe aplastic anaemia. The donor was a monozygous twin in 2 cases, a HLA-matched sibling in 26 and a mismatched sibling in 2 cases. Sixteen patients were transplanted early during their disease (= good prognosis patients); results in these patients are excellent with a projected two-year survival of 81 %, using the Kaplan-Meier method. In this group we observed only one relapse of leukaemia (syngeneic transplant) and two transplantation-related deaths. In contrast, results obtained in 14 patients transplanted in advanced stages of their disease (= poor prognosis cases) are disappointing with a high relapse frequency (5 patients) and an impressive percentage of non-Ieukaemic deaths (6 patients). Only 3/14 are alive and well and in first complete remission after transplantation. Bone marrow transplantation, performed early during the disease offers an excellent chance of prolonged survival and potential cure.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors report the case of a 52-year-old patient with severe cardio-vascular disease, secondary to a sleep apnea syndrome and completely reversible after tracheotomy.This observation focuses on a frequently discussed pathology nowadays. The ethiopathogenic mechanisms and the cardiovascular complications are discussed.

摘要:

SummaryWe describe two cases of serious iatrogenic infection caused by rapidly growing acid-fast organisms of theMycobacterium fortuilum-cheloneicomplex. The first was identified asM. J’ortuilumand caused a deep infection of a total hip prosthesis in a 77-year-old man. Recovery was obtained by removal of the prosthesis, drainage and parenteral antibiotics. The second, identified asM. cheloneiwas isolated from a 14-month-old boy and caused subcutaneous abscesses at the site of human immunoglobulin injections given for agammaglobulinaemia. The literature ofM.fortuitumandM. cheloneiinfections is briefly reviewed and simple tests are recommended to separate the two species.

摘要:

SummaryCampylobacter bacteraemia is rarely diagnosed.Campylobacter jejuni,while frequently causing enteritis, is probably underestimated as cause of bacteraemia. Extra-intestinal manifestations are rather uncommon. In our first patient the disease was accompanied by an elevation of the serum transaminases.Campylobacter fetusbacteraemia is far less frequent and occurs more often in patients with underlying illness. Secondary sites of infection are more often found. In our second case the bacteraemia was associated with pericarditis. We could find only one previous report of this association in the literature.The literature concerning Campylobacter bacteraemia is reviewed. Differences between the species are stressed.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors present a 28-year-old alcoholic cirrhotic male patient who develops hepatic failure with jaundice, ascites and haemorragic syndrome. Because of turgescent jugular veins, a cardiac exploration is performed, resulting in the diagnosis of idiopathic cardiomyopathy associated with a cardiac Beri-Beri.The hemodynamic evolution is detailed and the relations between cardiopathy and hepatic failure are discussed.

摘要:

SummaryIntensification by administration of high dose chemotherapy is increasingly used in the treatment of cancer. Serious side ellects can occur.We report a case of recurrent heart block in the hours following the administration of the drugs in a patient with small cell lung carcinoma treated by late intensive chemotherapy with etoposide and cyclophosphamide. This complication was controlled by implantation of a temporary demand pace maker.

摘要:

SummaryWe report a case in which a high dose of ampicil lin was instituted for suspected meningitis in a pa tient with a medical history of penicillin skin rash. Within a few days an acute interstitial nephritis to gether with a Lyell’s syndrome occured. This pro bably unique association suggests similar pathoge netic mechanisms.
