[Infibulation practice: clinical aspects in an adolescent outside the community].
Because of the increase arrival of extra-community people, now it is easy to meet with new pathologies or with old ones that we believed disappeared. We describe a case of infibulation practice observed in a thirteen year old coloured adolescent. She was admitted for an unknown-provenance fever.

[Animal bites in children].
Our experiences at the "Centro di Profilassi Antirabbica" of the "Dipartimento di Pediatria" suggest to us some thoughts: though the seriousness of the lesions is important also for the patient's aestethics, mostly for girls, the physician must always take into consideration the infectious consequences of the bite itself. Among these bacterial infections mostly frequent enough are those overlapping the deepest wounds as the bites of cates are. Therefore adequate early preventive attendances (within the 24 hours) are necessary. The importance of prevention against rabies, luckily very rare in our country, but to be always afraid of and to be always taken into consideration because of its emotional impact, is to be highlighted.

[Nonconventional therapy in a case of systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis].
We report a systematic-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in an adolescent girl inadequately controlled by a prolonged course of conventional therapy. After ACTH in combination with elevated dosages of intravenous ascorbic acid therapy she rapidly improved, becoming afebrile. A complete clinical remission one month later was obtained, with no recurrences of the disease in five years followup. The excellent response to ACTH and ascorbic acid in our patient, suggests that a controlled trial of this therapy in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis should be considered.

[Evaluation of pediatric patients hospitalized for acute diarrhea from 1990 to 1996].
Infectious diarrhea is a common disorder in children in Italy, which may lead to hospitalization especially during infancy. In order to obtain data about epidemiology and clinic pictures of acute diarrhea, the carts of 1295 paediatric outpatients, hospitalized for this pathology in the time between 1990-1996 at the Children's Hospital "Meyer" of Florence, were analyzed. An offending organism could be isolate in 43.3% of patients; Rotaviruses are the leading cause of diarrhea, followed by salmonella spp. Furthermore the role of Campylobacter as common bacterial pathogen worldwide has been clarified.

[The risk of infection after a tick bite in an endemic area. The experience of the use of an effective protocol on a cohort of Tuscan children].
The authors suggest an executive protocol for the infections due to the sting of a tick in a child. They report the experience they had observing 92 children in the period between spring and autumn in the year 1996.

[Subdural effusion during bacterial meningitis].
Twelve children of age ranged from 4 to 34 months with Haemophilus influenzae type b meningitis treated at Meyer Hospital of Florence, were retrospectively reviewed. Eight patients had subdural effusion demonstrated with TC, RM and transfontanellar ultrasonography. All patients are cured without sequelae.

[Visceral leishmaniasis in children in the province of Florence].
Three cases of visceral leishmaniasis are presented: two children who got the disease in Florence and the imported case of a girl coming from Albania with her disease in act. The diagnosis was made showing Leishmania in bone marrow specimen. Therapy with melglumine antimonate was effective and well borne, leading the three children to a complete healing. In the province of Florence visceral leishmaniasis is very rare, but such protozoa and the sand flies are present as shown by the high number of dog with leishmaniasis.
