[Drug-induced respiratory disorders].

Drugs induced respiratory disorders include bronchospasm, extrinsic alveolitis, and diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. Bronchospasm may be due to the action of pharmacodynamic agents on autonomic control of bronchial tone (beta-blockers, beta-agonists...) or to a hypersensitivity reaction (penicillins, sulfonamides, anti-inflammatory compounds...). Extrinsic alveolitis usually follows administration of anti-infective medication but other drugs may be implicated. Prolonged use of a wide variety of drugs, particularly cytotoxic agents, is necessary to provoke the onset of a diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis.

[Aspects of rats schistosomiasis in the non-salted mangrove swamps and the backmangrove area in the island of Grande-Terre (Guadeloupe) (author's transl)].

The study of parasitism by Schistosoma mansoni among rats (Rattus rattus and Rattus norvegicus) has been carried on in Guadeloupe. Over half the rats caught in the non-salted mangrove swamps and the back-mangrove area of the island of Grande-Terre are parasitized. It seems possible diagrammatize the characteristics of these sites, where the cycle of rats schistosomiasis develops.

[Experimental trichinasis (IV), study of the action of cyclophosphamide on the transplantation of 18 days old adults of T. spiralis (author's transl)].

The survival and the transplantation of adult trichinae collected in cyclophosphamide treated and untreated mice were studied. 1) The worms'burden harbored by treated mice on the 18th day after the infestation is from 4 to 5 times higher than in untreated ones. The sex ratio is here around one instead of 1/2 in the control lot of mice. 2) The female worms parasitic in treated mice continue to lay larvae. When these adult are transplanted in the gut of treated mice they seem give a greater number of larvae than if they are put in the gut of normal mice.
