摘要:

SummaryWe report the case of a young female patient who presented, at the age of 13, a severe glucose intolerance with very high plasma insulin levels. She was immediately treated with insulin, a treatment which could be stopped 9 months later while the glucose tolerance remained slightly abnormal inspite of a persistent hyperinsulinism. Virilism and acanthosis nigricans developped soon after puberty. The level of erythrocyte insulin receptors was markedly diminished whereas anti-receptor antibodies were not detected. Thus, the patient presented a syndrome of type A (originally described by Kahn) associating glucose intolerance (or diabetes), viri lism and acanthosis nigricans. This congenital syndrome, occurring in young females, is characterized by a severe insulin resistance due to a decreased number (or impaired function) of insulin receptors. Our patient was treated with an association of cestrogen-antiandrogen which resulted in a rapid decrease of hirsutism without apparent modification of glucose tolerance and hyperinsulinism.

摘要:

SummaryWe report on two patients with exercise-induced left bundle-branch block and without any evidence of cardiac disease. The first case is a sportsman; therefore his block could be considered as a particular form of the«athletic heart syndrome». The second patient complains of non-anginal chest pain and there is no sign of coronary heart disease.The exercise-induced left bundle-branch block is most often the consequence of a coronary heart disease. However, the existence of cases without any demonstrable cardiopathy seems undeniable. Given the rarity of these cases, follow up is necessary, in order to rule out subsequent development of a definite cardiopathy.

摘要:

SummaryIn order to estimate the prevalence of thalassaemias carriers in the Mediterranean immigrants living in the Brussels region (mainly North Africans), the following determinations have been performed in a group of children attending a general pediatric consultation and in a group of women presenting in a prenatal consultation: blood counts, and measu rements of haemoglobin A2, of serum iron, TIBC and ferritin levels.Among the children studied, 20 % disclosed an iron deficiency, 4,8 % a heterozygote 5 thalassaemia, and 0,4% a probable heterozygote a thalassaemia. Among the women these estimations were respectively 8.1, 2.6 and 0%.The authors estimate that the birth of one homozygote children may be awaited each year in the Brussels region. The annual cost of his treatment is higher than that of a prospective prevention which would be based on determination of the level of haemoglobin A2in all immigrate parturients disclosing microcytosis.

摘要:

SummaryIn a multicenter study the susceptibility of 1784 strains isolated from urine and of 700 strains from other clinical specimens has been tested to norfloxacin in comparison with nalidixic acid and different other antibiotics. Full susceptibility or partial susceptibility to norfloxacin was found in 99 % of the 1959Enterobacteriaceae, in 97% of the 334Pseudomonas, in 100% of the 219 staphylococci and in 94 % of the 100 enterococci. The large majority of strains resistant to nalidixic acid remained susceptible to norfloxacin.

摘要:

Summary1. The method of analysis of breath hydrogen by end-expiratory sampling was modified to allow immediate introduction of the alveolar air sample into a gas chromatograph.2. The modified method was used to study the absorption of 50g lactose in 20 healthy subjects without abdominal symptoms, 12 patients with normal lactase activity and 12 patients with low lactase activity. The results, expressed as peak hydrogen concentrations, were comparable to those of previous studies; 20 ppm was the threshold of abnormal hydrogen production. However, interpretation of the results may be facilitated if the measurement of breath hydrogen is coupled to sequential determination of capillary blood glucose.

摘要:

SummaryDuring a urinary infection, antibodies are produced against a variety of antigens both host and bacterial. Some of the antibodies are protective in animal-models. This is the case with the anti-pili, anti-K and anti-O antibodies. Others, like the anti Tamm-Horsfall protein auto-antibodies, could be responsible for renal scarring. Antibodies production is generally more marked in pyelonephritis than in cystitis. In the serum, the antibodies are of the IgG and IgM types and in the urine of the IgA and IgG types. This qualitative difference is the basis of diagnostic tests for localizing the level of urinary tract infection. The antibody-coated-bacteria test seems to be the easiest routine test. The importance of this test for the diagnosis of urinary infection in the children as well as in adults (especially in pregnant women) is discussed. Furthermore, a negative test is an accurate predictor of therapeutic success using a single dose antibiotic regime. The measurement of antibody titres against the Tammhorsfall protein is potentially of value in the long term follow-up of patients presenting with acute pyelonephritis.
