[Yellow nail syndrome with chylous effusions].

Yellow nail syndrome is characterized by a yellow discolouration of the nails associated with idiopathic lymphoedema and pleuropulmonary manifestations. Pleural effusions are usually of the exudate type with a normal lipid content. The case reported here of a 74-year old man who had yellow nails together with chylothorax and chylous ascites provides an opportunity to discuss the origin of these rare effusions which, like the syndrome itself, were most probably due to primary abnormalities of the lymphatic system.

[Disseminated Histoplasma duboisii histoplasmosis in a female inhabitant of the Ivory Coast].

The authors describe a disseminated multivisceral form of african histoplasmosis due to H. duboisii in a 45 years old black woman. Clinical examination shows characteristic lesions of skin, bones and lymph glands. Lymphography reveals lesions of deep lymph glands and laparascopy lesions of liver and spleen. First untimely stopped, treatment was started again with ketoconazole. 20 months later, the course of the disease is, as for as we can appreciate it, favourable.
