[The advantages of histological samples in sarcoidosis. Retrospective multicenter analysis of 618 biopsies performed on 416 patients].

The diagnosis of sarcoidosis is based on the finding of an epithelioid granuloma at histological examination. A retrospective study of 618 biopsies obtained from 416 patients with sarcoid disease showed an average sensitivity of 69 p. 100. The sensitivity of guided biopsies, especially skin and lymph node biopsies, was almost 90 p. 100, whereas that of blind biopsies tended to increase with the degree of hazard involved, ranging from 49 p. 100 in proximal bronchial biopsy to 70 p. 100 in liver needle biopsy. When treatment is not urgently required, the Kveim test is safe, cheap and fairly sensitive (65 p. 100 positive results).

Human fascioliasis: cure by mebendazole? A case report.

We report a case of invasive human Fasciola hepatica infection in which, for the first time, a successful treatment with high doses of mebendazole (4 g/day for 3 weeks) was achieved. This therapy resulted in a prompt and prolonged normalization of eosinophil counts, liver enzymes abnormalities and specific serological tests together with the disappearance of liver necrosis indicating the eradication of liver flukes. The efficacy of mebendazole in the treatment of fascioliasis must be confirmed by further studies.
