[Prevalence of superficial mycoses in an urban ecosystem in Sfax (Tunisia)].

The authors studied the epidemiological aspects and the frequency of the various etiological agents of the superficial mycosis found in the region of Sfax, from 1,724 mycologic samples collected during 3 years (1989-1991). The rate of positivity is of 49%. The anthropophile dermatophytic species are often isolated dominated by the Trichophyton rubrum and the Trichophyton violaceum. The fungus of Candida albicans type and Malassezia furfur are the most frequently identified.

[Myelodysplastic syndrome / acute myeloid leukemia with t(8; 21) and bundle of Auer rods in neutrophils: an unusual hemopathy].

We report the case of a 8-year-old girl diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome. This case was morphologically characterized by the presence of bundle of Auer rods in the neutrophils. The evolution of the disease was marked by a quick transformation in a acute myeloid leukaemia with t(8;21) refractory to treatment. We reviewed the literature for clinical, biological and therapeutic features of this rare childhood hemopathy.
