Cytomegalovirus infection in two infants with congenital or neonatal solid tumors.

Two infants with fibrosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma diagnosed prenatally and at 2 months of age, respectively, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection are reported. Concomitant CMV infection was revealed by positive urine culture and/or CMV DNA, and CMV-specific IgM, IgA, and complement-fixing antibodies. The patients, showing very low levels of immune T cells, died at 3 and 8 months of age, respectively. A pathogenic role for CMV in the progression of the tumors is suggested.

[A new dynamic index in the clinical evaluation of muscle efficiency].

A dynamic index for the clinical evaluation of muscle performance is proposed. It takes account of Gowers time, supine time and the ability of the subject to hold up his neck and lower extremities. Its experimentation in 98 healthy subjects and 99 myopathic patients divided into four age groups showed it to be useful, particularly in the follow-up of patients subjected to pharmacological and/or physical management.
