摘要:

SummaryThree cases of pneumomediastinum or pneumopericardium are reported. This condition presents as an acute syndrome of chest pain and shortness of breath, often mimicking an acute myocardial infarction, pericarditis or pulmonary embolism. It is caused by air entrapped within the mediastinum or pericardium, and mostly occurs spontaneously. The pathognomonic radiologic sign is a radiolucent area around the cardiovascular silhouette.Attention is drawn to the typical auscultatory finding of pneumomediastinum or pneumopericardium, which is called the Hamman sign: a loud gurgling or splashing metallic sound in the precordial area, often noticed by the patient and even at a distance, synchronous with the heart beat.The course is most often benign, spontaneous resolution occuring within a few days, although relapses are possible.

摘要:

SummaryWe describe a 44 years old patient who developed severe non-oliguric acute renal failure associated with pneumopathy, respiratory distress and severe cerebral disturbance.Transient leucocytosis, thrombocytopenia, hyponatremia and abnormal liver function tests were the chief biological findings.The diagnosis of Legionnaires’Disease was based on a rising titer of antibodies againstL. pneumophilaas. determined by indirect immunofluorescence employing several serogroups. Renal biopsy revealed actue tubulointerstitial nephritis.He was treated with dialysis, mechanical ventilation, prednisone and erythromycin.

摘要:

SummaryThis paper reports three cases of acute theophylline intoxication. Two are caused by voluntary ingestion of two and four grams of the equivalent of theophylline respectively. The third one is an accidental overdose through rectal and parenteral administration of the drug (2.5 g rectally and 0.4 g intravenously).The authors point out the correlation existing between the clinical manifestations and the theophylline plasma levels. They insist on the dehydration and the hypokalemia. The quantitative determinations of the drug in the plasma, saliva and gastric fluid have allowed a pharmacokinetic interpretation. A therapeutic approach is discussed.
