[Pseudolupus induced by a vasculotropic drug (author's transl)].

The authors report eight cases of women suffering from pseudolupus erythematosus, with positive antimitochondrial antibodies. In six in the past history, a vasculotropic drug, Venocuran or Venopyridum, had been taken. All the patients had had episodes of fever, a pericarditis and/or myocarditis. A pleural effusion was present in six and pulmonary infiltrates in four. The course of the disease was for a limited period (1 to 3 months) in four cases and was chronic in the other four. One patient developed severe mitral incompetence and a cardiomyopathy.

[Diagnostic value of anti-mitochondria antibodies].

The histological lesions found in patients with hepatic disease and positive anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) by immunofluorescence were compared with those in 10 subjects of the same age and sex with negative AMA. The majority of the patients with positive AMA were suffering from primary biliary cirrhosis, the diagnosis being based upon the histological appearance (Stage 1 of Scheuer's classification: 40%) or the presence of clinical signs of cholestasis with a compatible histological appearance (40%). None of the remaining patients (20%) with positive AMA nor the 10 individuals with negative AMA showed histological signs suggestive of primary biliary cirrhosis. The absence of certain clinico-biological factors, with the exception of Stage 1 histology, gives a high degree of value to a high level of AMA in the diagnostic of PBC.

Unusual cause of gastric bleeding: Cronkhite-Canada polyposis.

A 39-year-old male presented with melena and sideropenic anemia. Gastric barium meal showed multiple feeling defects and gastric endoscopy showed in the antrum several polypoid lesions that histopathologically were consistent with Cronkhite-Canada polyposis. Studies on intestinal absorption were within normal limits.
