[Giant-cell arteritis with initial resistance to corticosteroids (author's transl)].

Treatment of giant-cell arteritis rests on corticosteroids. Three observations of Horton arteritis with initial resistance to cortisone are reported. Diagnosis was substantiated by the examination of biopsy specimens. Resistance to therapy was overcome by changing to another corticosteroid. Observations such as those reported here are very uncommon.

[Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (apropos of one case)].

Suspected to be a syndrome rather than an authentic clinical entity, the "desquamative interstitial pneumonia" (DIP) exhibits typical anatomo-pathological aspects of intra-alveolar proliferation of granular pneumocytes, type II pneumocytes, leaving the alveolar interstitium unaffected. In absence of superinfection, it remains almost free of fibrous or inflammatory manifestations. The association of DIP to 4 other fundamental histological varieties of diseases of the pulmonary interstitium (UIP, BIP, LIP, GIP) is at the origin of Liebow's classification. The clinical individualization of these entities is still questioned.
