[African histoplasmosis. A case].

The case reported concerns a 12 year-old girl, native of the Cameroons, hospitalized in France for the treatment of the most severe disseminated type of African histoplasmosis (Histoplasma duboisii). In addition to a severe infectious syndrome, the child presented with 3 associated typical involvements: diffuse lymphadenopathy, skin lesions consisting of nodules of the face and trunk and suppurative osteo-articular lesions with an impressive radiological appearance: extensive bone lysis and metaphyseal fractures, without any sign of bone reconstruction, even after several months of treatment. This is rare a disease, but one that should be recognized, especially in its onset localized form, in a patient presenting with infectious osteoarthritis with a torpid evolution leading to the diagnosis of tuberculous or pyogenic infection, or even of osteosarcoma. The disseminated lesions may be difficult to distinguish from the multifocal bone lesions of sickle-cell disease osteomyelitis.

["Cirrhotic's lund". A new radiological entity? 182 CASES (AUTHOR'S TRANSL)].

The authors studied the chest X-rays of 182 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis. They eliminated the abnormal films of patients with severe clinical or biological changes. After double reading, they isolated ten cases in which chest X-ray revealed changes in the pulmonary interstitium. The question as to the nature of this interstitial pneumopathy is posed.
