[Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis in adults].

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare cause of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage characterized by abnormal deposition of hemosiderin iron in the macrophages of alveoli. Most cases occur in children. In adults, IPH is rare: almost 10 cases reported during the late 10 years. We report the case of a 20-year-old-girl with IPH. There was no evidence of pulmonary vasculitis or capillaritis. Long-term treatment with systemic corticosteroids was followed by clinical remission lasting 4 years.

[Unusual presentation of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis].

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a rare disease characterized by the accumulation of granular lipoproteinaceous material within the alveoli; the interstitium is preserved. We report the case of a 27-year-old patient hospitalized for exploration of asymptomatic bilateral interstitial syndrome. Neither the radiographic signs nor the aspect of bronchoalveolar lavage was typical. The diagnosis was confirmed by pathology examination of surgical lung biopsy specimen which revealed lesions of interstitial fibrosis and cholesterol granulomas in association with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Since there was no functional deterioration, therapeutic abstention was decided.

[Hydatid pulmonary embolism. Two case reports].

Hydatid pulmonary embolism is an uncommon condition resulting from the rupture of a hydatid heart cyst or the opening of a visceral hydatid cyst (often in the liver) into the venous circulation. We report two cases of hydatid pulmonary embolism following rupture of a hydatic cyst in the right ventricle. One case progressed to chronic cor pulmonale. We examine the pathophysiological mechanisms as well as the clinical, therapeutic and evolutive aspects.

Ab Initio Calculation of the Electronic Transition Moments for Excited States of the H(2) Molecule.

Ab initio MRCI electronic dipole transition moments were calculated for the singlet and triplet molecular states contributing to free-free and free-bound absorption in the far wings of the Lyman alpha and Lyman beta lines of hydrogen atom perturbed by another hydrogen atom in its ground state. Results are presented for internuclear distances ranging from 1.0a(0) to 50a(0) and for transitions between the X(1)Sigma(+)(g) ground state to all (1)Pi(u) and (1)Sigma(+)(u) states and between the b(3)Sigma(+)(u) state to all (3)Pi(g) and (3)Sigma(+)(g) states that dissociate at large internuclear distances into H (n = 2, 3) + H (n = 1). These results compare well with the previous theoretical calculations available for a few transitions. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

[Oral desensitization to antitubercular agents].

We report a case of hypersensitivity reaction to majors antituberculosis drugs. We have successfully performed oral desensitization to "Rifater *". We present our protocol that we compare to those proposed in the literature.

[Endo-bronchial lipoma. Apropos of a case].

We report a case of an endobronchial lipoma on a 63 year-old woman, treated surgically. A literature review allows us to show the importance of fiberoptic bronchoscopy and computerized tomography in the diagnosis of this kind of benign tumors. The different aspects of treatment with recent progress represented by endoscopic resection are studied.
