[Autochthonous and imported amebiasis: description of 2 clinical cases].

Two cases of intestinal amoebiasis, one of which autochthonous and the other acquired in Africa, are described. The first of the patients, who never moved to the Tropics nor to Southern Italy, had profuse bloody diarrhea leading to hypovolemic shock; the second case was characterized by massive hemorrhage. Both responded well to appropriate treatment. Infection with E. histolytica should be borne in mind in patients with abdominal symptoms not only if they have travelled in the Tropics, but also in temperate regions, including Northern Italy.

Still's disease in a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus type I.

An autoreactive cellular immune response may be a part of HIV-1 infection. This autoimmune phenomenon also includes antibodies to collagen that can be associated to arthritis as a clinical condition. In this paper we describe a case of Still's disease in an adult HIV-1 infected patient who presented a marked amelioration in his condition after 15 days of steroid therapy, as well as an improvement of the arthritis. This rare autoimmune condition, which is connected with the disregulation of the immune system, must be taken into account in HIV-1 infected individuals who present with fever of unknown origin.
