[Early cerebral vascular accidents in treated Horton's disease. Responsibility of the corticoid treatment?].

Two cases of strokes in the vertebrobasilar territory were observed in patients with Horton's disease during the first week of treatment when the inflammatory process seemed clinically and biologically under control. The mechanisms of arterial ischaemia are discussed: specific localisation of giant cell arteritis, associated atherosclerosis, failure of therapy or a possible inducing role of steroid therapy as the chronology of these cases would suggest.

[Estrogen-progestogen agents and megaloblastic anemia].

TwO cases of megaloblastic anaemia, of which one was very severe, occurring in women who had been taking oestrogen-progestogen oral contraception over a long period of time, are reported. The authors take the opportunity, after having reviewed the literature, of pointing out the role of oestro-progestogen products in bringing about vitamin deficiencies. They discuss how and where oestrogen-progestogen products work on folic metabolism and emphasize that there is an associated factor which starts off the deficiencies.

[Spontaneous peritonitis in a cirrhotic patient (author's transl)].

A case of spontaneous peritonitis in a cirrhotic patient is reported. Because of marked peritoneal and hemodynamic signs, exploratory laparotomy was decided on. Such cases of spontaneous peritonitis, which mimick surgical affections, are very uncommon. Onset is usually insidious with increasing hepatic fluid as the only sign. Bacteriologic examination of the peritoneal fluid is often negative. Diagnosis should be considered if cytology shows more than 75 polynuclear leukocytes per mm. When bacteriology is negative, association of an aminoside with penicillin G and metronidazole seems to be the most satisfactory combination.

Ketoprofen-induced reduction of polymorphonuclear cell activation in rheumatoid arthritis.

Ten early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and 10 healthy volunteers were given 200 mg of ketoprofen daily for 8 days. Polymorphonuclear cell functional studies were performed just before and immediately after this treatment. In RA patients, increased chemotactic index and adherence returned to normal after this short-term treatment whilst reduced phagocytosis and bacterial function were not significantly modified by the drug. In healthy volunteers, no significant effect was shown. In addition, ketoprofen diminished the chemotactic activity induced by zymosan in RA patients and also in healthy volunteer plasma.

[Hepatoma manifesting monoclonal gammapathy and hypercalcemia].

The authors report the case of a patient with alcoholic cirrhosis in whom the appearance of a hepatocarcinoma coincided with the appearance of an "asymptomatic" monoclonal gammaglobulinopathy and hypercalcaemia attributed to a probable paraneoplastic syndrome. The authors discuss the hypotheses which have been proposed to explain the link between monoclonal gammaglobulinopathy and cancer and they stress the particular case of hepatocarcinoma in which the association has been rarely reported. They also review the diagnostic criteria of paraneoplastic hypercalcaemia.
