[Various aspects of cytomegalovirus infection in the adult].

Cytomegalovirus infection was sought as a routine over a period of two year in 100 patients of which 34 had a suitable constitutional background [corrected] for this type infection (multiple transfusions, malignant disease, immunodepression). The authors attempt to circumscibe the main clinical aspects encountered in adults. They consider the repective diagnostic values of isolation of the virus and serological reactions. They discuss their interpretation during the course of an infection.

Adult↗

Subacute myelocytic leukemia associated with the philadelphia chromosome and supplementary translocation : 9-12.

The authors report a case of subacute myelocytic leukemia presenting some severe aspects. The cytogenetic findings show the Philadelphia chromosome ; t (9-22) and a second translocation between the chromosome 12, and the other chromosome 9 : t (9-12). They think that this second translocation represents a supplementary cytogenetic argument for the isolation of "Subacute myeloid Leukemia with Philadelphia chromosome" within chronic myeloid Leukemia.

Chromosome Aberrations↗

[Refractory sideroblastic anemia, three cases with the same extra marker chromosome (47, Mar +) (author's transl)].

Three very similar cases of sideroblastic idiopathic anemia were respectively observed for 105, 57 and 69 months. The cytogenetic blood study was normal. But the medullary genetic findings showed marker extra-chromosome, having the same aspect in each metaphase = 47 Mar +. It was respectively found in 13 mitoses/32, 2/45 and 1/30. The study of chromosome showed that it was not a normal cytogenetic C-chromosome at all, even it seemed to be a C - X type chromosome at first. The long arms had about the same size as the one of the C- type. But the short arms were really shorter. The study on R- bands showed a chromosomic marking unkown so far. The cytogenetic abnormalities described during the sideroblastic idiopathic anemias, the rare sideroblastic idiopathic anemias where were found a C- type chromosome really identified, then the well-defined myeloproliferative disorders having an extra- C chromosome, have been looked over again through the litterature. In each of our three studies we can think that these myelodysplasia are real mysloproliferative disorders because of the same marker extra-chromosome, but even after nine months we did'nt observe any chromosomal sign of blastic transformation.

Aged↗

[Jejuno and ileo-ileal invaginations revealing mutiple melanic metastases of the small intestine. Case report].

The authors report the case of 60 year old man with multiple jeuno-ileal metastases from a malignant melanoma of the skin revealed by jejuno-jejunal intussusceptions. In the light of this case, the authors emphasize the frequency and preferential localisation of these metastases at the level of the jejunum and ileum, the usual mildness of their symptoms until the day where acute obstruction requires laparotomy. The multiple lesions, their diversity and their very rapid course.

Humans↗

[Peripheral facial paralysis and post-antirabies-vaccination polyneuroradiculitis (author's transl)].

A case of facial diplegia with albuminocytologic dissociation of cerebrospinal fluid after antirabies vaccination prompts the author to attempt a retrospective study of post-antirabies-vaccination neuropathies, with facial or extensive involvement. Fifty-seven cases are considered. Irrespective of vaccine type, certain clinical similarities emerge, notably the age of occurrence (adult), the early onset of the paralysis (during vaccine therapy or in the following week), and the prognosis (good survival rate, severity of functional impairment varying with extent of involvement). The author attributes the main pathogenic role to the peripheral myelinic basic protein contained in varying proportions in conventional vaccines, the corollary being that such accidents should disappear completely with the new vaccination based on tissue culture material. A therapy programme comprising the discontinuation of vaccine therapy and administration of corticoids is proposed.
